When I practice martial arts I can not wear my Apple Watch for safety reasons.
Is there a way to log the activity so that it is included in the overall overview in the Apple Health app?
It would be great - and more true - to be "rewarded" for the calories you really burn during this type of training.
Unfortunately, I cannot find a "+" or "add" in the Health or Fitness app.
Thanks!
Apple Watch Series 8
In the Health App tap on the browse tab at the
bottom then tap activity and scroll down to workouts
then tap on workouts and in the the top right hand
corner of the screen it says add data,tap on that and
you can enter a new workout and when you're finished tap on add
at the top right of the screen.Then restart your phone.
Be aware though that this only effects your 3 rings on the day in question.

Why do you need to restart the phone?
Thank you! I finally found it :-) your description was great - my phone's language is in Danish, so it took me a while to find the corresponding menu and buttons.
By the way, when entering workout data in the Health app for Martial arts, one needs to specify time spent and kilocalories burnt. For the latter, you can find calculators online to help estimate kilocalories using metabolic equivalent of task (MET) for example https://captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/calories-burned-from-martial-arts-calculator/
You can manually add a workout in the health app.

OK Thanks - I can’t find the way to add the workout - can you upload a screenshot showing where to find the “add” function? Thanks!
Just in case it doesn't update straightaway the restart usually updates it.
