Shortcut to start workout on apple watch6

So I like boxing. And like to record the boxing workout on my watch- it's an awesome cardio workout. However, while boxing we have to wear wraps and they go over the watch covering it up. Sooo, I was wondering if I can create a shortcuts shortcut on my phone that could launch the boxing working on my apple watch.

Any ideas on how to do that folks?

You can create a shortcut to do this using the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. In the shortcuts app, tap the + in the top right, then tap "Add Action." From this dialog, search for "Start Workout" then select the workout type you'd like your shortcut to run.
