Low cardio fitness level

So my number for Cardio Fitness is way low. I do Elliptical workouts daily and ride a bike 10 miles on the weekend. These exercises won’t effect the score? I have to run or walk outside and track that activity with my Apple Watch?

What counts as exercise according to the Apple Watch I find my Apple Watch is really discouraging when it comes to “what counts toward exercise minutes”. I want to be able to use my watch on the exercise (ie Outdoor Walk) I choose and have it count towards my personal, realistic exercise goals. I’m looking at these comments from 2015 and I am wondering if Apple has any intention of changing or modifying goals to be attainable for the average Joe. I am disabled and I find it next to impossible to get the amount of minutes I set for myself daily. I walk 6 km a day in a little more then an hour. I know that this is not technically fast but for me I am walking at a brisk pace with an increased heart rate. Come on Apple do better for us average Joes that are truly working towards our fitness goals, we may not be fast but we are trying to the best of our physical abilities!!

Treadmill workout tracking on apple watch Yesterday I worked out on the treadmill for 30 minutes, 3 mph pace and 12% incline for the entire workout, with my hands on the heart rate monitor on the treadmill for most of the workout. I used the Indoor Walk activity in the activity app to monitor the workout. Although the heart rate was accurate in both devices, Apple Watch was way off on the pace, and about 100 meters off on the distance, without any notice of the steep incline. obviously there was a big gap in calories burned on the watch vs the treadmill. Anyone know how to fix this?
