S Health manually input exercise

MarcN — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:04:15 GMT

I like to use health app to track various activities. However I'm disappointed that I'm unable to add exercise or activity that was not recorded by a phone or watch.

E.g. battery low so on power saving and go for a run or go swimming for 30 minutes or 1 hr of a sport etc.

I'd just like to be able to go in and retrospectively add the details for duration or from a non compatible device that did record the details.

Any help to get this added as a feature would be welcomed.

How do you manually log activity?

Yes, I too have either run my Gear Fit 2 battery down or simply took it off to wash my hands and forgot to put the watch back on. Missed 3/4 of a day of walking. I would really like to know if I can manually add steps or exercises I did in the past????

If not, does Samsung intend to add this feature in the future to Samsung Health App.?

Thanks

HOW TO ADD WORKOUTS MANUALLY

1. From the Samsung health homescreen scroll down to the 'exercise' tab / block.

2. Select this and you will enter the 'select exercise page'

3. Scroll and select the type of exercise you would like to log.

4. The exercise page will now open (as if to start a new session).

5. In the top right corner is the menu (3 vertical dots). Click this and select 'Enter Data'

6. This will now allow you to add the time / date of your workout plus duration. Hit save.

And that's it! Hope this helps and if anyone knows the best way to log 'CrossFit' rather than 'Circuit training' (as XFit is way more calorie intensive) then please let me know!

Thanks,

Sam

Samagik, thanks for the answer! However it seems like using a galaxy watch leads to different user experience. I have no menu on the top right corner when I follow the steps you described. I still found no way to add workout manually when I have no chance to ware the watch.

Is there any way to make this work?

Ohh, I found out that having a menu is depending on the type of the exercise. It works fine. Thx

I have to wear a manual pedometer at work it only tracks the number of steps and distance. I wish there was a way to enter that data into Samsung Health. I'm not concerned about the time it took.

you could covert your steps to miles (or your pedometer may already do that for you) and input that into the excerice part of the app. At least this way you can track your miles day to day. I don't think it will show up in your step count in S Health but at least you can track it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I uploaded a pic of my pedometer as proof for my steps. Doesnt quite help with the step challenges but oh well.

Were you ever able to find something more accurate? I wear a HR monitor while doing CrossFit so I would love to be able to enter those calories.

Nope. The closest thing I've been able to do is use Under Armour Record. I have to adjust the time to get as close to my actual steps as possible.

if I add a work out in the AM then do a work out in the PM how do I add the second work out? It just opens up the first work out that I already logged when I follow your steps.
