Apple Fitness not Recognising Exercise

I tracked a walk just under 5k, lasting just under 2 hours. I see the exercise registered in the Fitness app, but the rings don't reflect the exercise or activity. Have I done something to not save it properly? Has anyone come across this before?

Apple Fitness subtracting move calories I worked out this morning and used my usual 2 apps (Nike Run Club and MyZone) to track my walk. I do this on a regular basis and both are synced with Apple fitness and show up there. The calorie count is usually recorded as the highest of the 2 numbers. Today MyZone did not record the whole workout but Nike Run Club did. I did a 4 mile power walk and burned 354 calories. Apple Fitness only listed the MyZone incomplete count of 116. The entire move count of my NRC run is missing from my move ring count but the workout with miles and calorie count is listed. My inactive calories have been the only thing increasing my move ring throughout the day and as the night progressed I noticed the move goal that was approaching 360. However the number is now decreased to 340. Does anyone know how/why? Any fix so what I did in my workout is counted in my move ring count?

Exercise Mode Why does selecting “outside walk” not close your exercise ring but selecting “other” and walking the same distance close it? Seems like I never get much of my exercise ring closed when selecting “outside or indoor walk” no matter what distance I walk.

That explains it! 😅 There was a lot of stop and starting. Thank you for this fieryjack 👍 Much appreciated.

You're not walking fast enough,to get exercise credit you need to be doing at least 11.3 minutes per kilometer which is the equivalent of a brisk walk,which is 5.3kph or 3.3mph.
