I have a basic walk I do daily. I walk anywhere from 30-45 minutes in one bit. Today the app says I exercised only 10 minutes. Why?

How does the activity app measure exercise? I do the same routine basically daily. Today the app says I only exercised 10 minutes.

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.
