Activity Ring Exercise Minutes

Just got myself the Apple Watch SE and loving it so far. But the exercise part on the activity ring doesn’t get completed for anything other than walking!! You’ll see in the picture that I’ve gone through nearly an hour and a half of exhausting strength training and I have 13 minutes of activity to my credit!!! Is this something in the settings I need to fix?

Apple Watch Series 3 exercise goal much too easy I've been logging exercise with my Apple Watch for about 18 months and it is typically somewhat challenging to close my exercise ring. I choose an Outdoor Walk and typically close the exercise ring after 30 minutes, as expected. However, over the last two days I've not done any exercise, mostly reading a book, sitting at my desk, getting up to eat, etc. Yet my exercise ring has been closing easily, without anything close to actual exercise. It would be wonderful if I can get a full day's exercise sitting on my Lazy Boy, eating chips and drinking beer but I may be fooling myself. What could be going on and how do I fix it?

Apple Watch activity (exercise) Hi guys! I’ve had my Apple Watch for only a month now, bought it brand new but I noticed the past week that a few days my exercise minutes aren’t matching up and I can’t achieve my full 30 minute trying even when the activity so that is connected actually says 39 mins (or whatever minutes it was) directly underneath. Can anyone help me with this? Anyone having the same issue? I love those little awards and I can’t earn them if my ring is not closing after more than the required exercise time. It’s frustrating. I’ll upload screenshots so you can see.

Apple Watch Workouts not showing on Activity App My Apple Watch activities aren’t showing on the iPhone activity app. I just finished a hike, and it didn’t show on the activity app on my phone but does show on my watch. I went home and did a workout on Fitness+ and it again showed on my watch but not my phone. The calories are showing, the rings are closing, and I can see it in my health app, but not the activity app. iPhone 13 and the Apple Watch 8. Both up to date. Thanks!
