When I start a workout, or when a workout auto starts, I can't figure out how to stop it. I press the back button or the widgets button, but neither one stops the workout. Sometimes if I go to the widget and press the back button, it will give me the red "finish" option, but not reliably. If I push enough buttons long enough eventually I can get it to stop, but there must be some simple way to end the workout?
OK, I have done more research and it seems like you can't manually stop a workout that starts automatically, as I have been doing.
That seems pretty stupid to me, but there you have it. I will just have to always remember to start my walking exercise if I want to be able to pause and stop it when I choose.
I allow the walking exercise to start automatically.
By the time I end the walk, the clock face has come on and the little green walking icon is at the bottom of the screen.
I can then click that icon to bring up the exercise, showing time, distance, etc. If I click the upper/home button, it takes me back to the clock but does not stop the exercise.
If I click the lower app button, it takes me to the app screen.
If I swipe right to the Health Widget, then click on "Walking," it starts a new walk.
The only way I have found to stop the walk is to do that, start a new walk, then click the home button and it allows me to stop that just begun walk.
Since I can get the red "Finish" button if I click the upper back button right after I start a new walk, I think that pressing that button should stop a walk that has been going for a while, but it does not, it simple returns me to the clock face with the green walking icon at the bottom.
No, I haven't but I will try that. Since it does work to stop the workout if I click it right after the exercise starts, I won't be able to check to see if this works until I actually do another workout. But I will try it and let you know if it works. Thanks for trying to help me with this.
