Did you fail to record your workout with your Apple Watch? Your wearable device may have run out of battery during exercise and your activity isn't properly recorded. Fortunately, you can manually add workouts to the health app to make up for this.
How to manually add a workout to your Apple Watch
Record a manual workout by launching the health app on your iPhone, then going to the Browse tab and tapping on the Activity category. On the screen that appears, click "Workouts" to bring up a graph of the exercises you recorded.
In the upper-right corner of the screen, click "Add Data" to bring up the data entry form. Use this form to specify the "type of activity" such as running or cycling, the amount of energy burned (in calories or kilojoules, depending on your settings) and distance traveled (where applicable).
You can refer to your past activity data to determine how much energy you burned in your chosen workout. For example, if you typically burn about 280 calories on a 2.5-mile walk, you should record twice that amount on a 5-mile walk. You can also use an energy expenditure calculator like this.
Edit the time and date the activity occurred, then hit "Add" to finish. The workout will be added to your history and visible in the health app under Activity>> Workouts Workouts and within the Fitness app within Summary> Workouts.
The activity data you record in this way will count towards your traffic objective and help you close your activity loops. Manually added activities will display the health app icon instead of the usual Apple Watch Workout icons.
