Apple Watch 6, green exercise ring

I don’t understand this ring. I didn’t do anything most of the day that would come close to a workout, yet I had 2/45 minutes when I started my treadmill (‘indoor setting) workout. I walked quickly and at times on an incline and my green ring never moved. I walked for more than 53 minutes for a total of 2.24 miles. Without stopping on the treadmill I ‘finished’ that workout and started another one. Only this one I chose “other”. I walked for less than 7 minutes. When I finished, my green ring showed 11/45 minutes. This makes no sense. How does this ring work?
