How do I record fast housework as exercise... cause it is exercise.

I get up and clean house like I wasn't expecting her, but my mother-in-law is on her way!! I'm MOVING. I set my new apple watch to dance... 30 minutes of that and my watch says I danced four minutes. How can I clean house like a madwoman and have my watch recognize it as exercise?

My steps are from another person in my house Hi, I just purchased a Series 9 watch. My wife and kids who live with me, all have Apple watches. I woke up this morning and my watch said between Midnight and 6:00 AM, I did 4300 steps. No that was my son the nurse working the night shift. I was sleeping. My wife also has her fitness data sometimes combined with our other son's data. Is there a way to correct this issue? My son has the fancy Ultra II. If my watch is paired with my iPhone how does this happen?

Please add sleep and cycle functions to Apple Watch family share I appreciate the explanation for why apple has limited some of the functions within the health app while using family share. However, as the parent of an 11 year old girl, the sleep and cycle tracking functions would be really helpful. I am trying to teach her to track her cycle and to have a clear understanding of her sleep habits and this very expensive device she wears has the capacity but I am not able to control that as her parent. It’s frustrating. Not sure how else to let apple know so here it is.

Fitness+, iPhone, iPad, no watch, no sync So now that Fitness+ is available on the iPhone & iPad without requiring an Apple Watch I thought I’d give it a try. I fired up a workout on the iPad because I couldn’t follow a teeny tiny instructor on the iPhone. I read that workout history is supposed to appear in the iPhone’s fitness app under “Workouts” but my iPhone isn’t showing workout info just the usual steps, calories, floors, etc. It is, however, showing awards for my first workouts just not the workouts themselves. I had a hunch and tried playing a workout on my iPhone. When it finished the workout section appeared on the iPhone as I guessed it would. It did not, however, show the iPad workouts showing that it’s a sync rather than a display issue. I tried the same experiment on my wife’s iPad and the same thing almost happened. I saw the award but no workout on her iPhone. After viewing the activity on her Apple Watch the workout appeared on her iPhone. I don’t know if it was just time or the act of viewing it on her watch that made it appear on her iPhone. In either case it appears that having a watch is needed to have the iPad and iPhone sync workouts. Is a Watch expected to be required for iPad workouts to get synchronized to Fitness on an iPhone? Is there some magic that I haven’t discovered other than playing the same workout on both devices that will allow the iPhone to see the iPad’s workout? Oh and this is on an iPad Pro (M1) and iPhone 14 Pro both on 16.2.

I would start the workout app and choose [other Open Goal] if it was me
