Hey Tjsadowski,

I can see that you're looking for a weight lifting option when recording your workout activity on the Apple Watch. As you may have suspected, the best option would be to choose "Other" when you can't find a matching workout type. You can learn more about how to record this and other features in the resources below:

Other

Choose Other when you can't find a matching workout type. When you use Other, you earn the calorie or kilojoule equivalent of a brisk walk anytime sensor readings are unavailable.

At the end of an Other workout, you can choose a name for your workout from a list of options. This can help categorize different types of activity, like dance, strength training, or cross training.

  1. Start a workout and choose Other.
  2. When you’re done, swipe right, then tap End.
  3. Tap Name Workout.
  4. Tap the type of workout, then tap Save.
