Exercise on Apple Watch

I have a series three. I just purchased it 2 weeks ago and it does not count the exercises I do. Today I walked a mile and a half in 25 minutes and it only counted 7 minutes. I have turned off turned on. Reset calibration what else can I do? I love my Apple products but this is my first Apple Watch and it is frustrating as it isn’t counting exercise. I also helped bale straw one afternoon last week and it didn’t even recognize that I was moving

To earn 1 minute of exercise credit(green ring);

Travel a full minute at a brisk walking pace(3.3 mph approx) or above.

Raise your heart rate to approx 75% of your maximum.

When you're at around or above this heart rate for the entire minute you'll receive 1 exercise minute credit.

If you pause or slow down then you won't get any exercise credit.
