Health workouts- please allow duration targets under 5 minutes

[jcnote]

Currently, exercises with duration targets have to be set between 5 minutes and 12 hours. The lower limit of 5 minutes does not work  for interval training. When trying to create routines for the different types of interval training I do, I cannot use duration as a target because 5 minutes is too long for interval training. Common intervals used by most people range from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.

Hello @jcnote,

Again, thank you for your awesome suggestions on workout durations. 

Your suggestion has been communicated to the developers and the development manager is reviewing the content.

How soon can we expect this? It's been a long wait to even get to custom routines and now this is a huge downside. Really wish samsung can update with a fix asap because a native integrated workout app for us loyal samsung phone and watch users is crucial. Please make this requested update.

Why is this not fixed yet?! See how many people spending big money on ultra watches are complaining about this. It's borderline disrespectful to not have this ne fixed as it is a common sense fix.

When can we expect a fix for this?

I have the same need and request too . Why it hasn't been fixed yet? I like my samsung ultra but if I can't use it for my training then it has no use apart from being a shiny good looking watch

Hi, just checking in—any update on this? We have a lot of users waiting on this fix, just remove the time/distance restriction pls

Having the same issue.

It doesn't make sense to not allow people to set any duration for any exercise.

I am also having the same issue. Do Samsung developers REALLY think HIIT & stretch exercises last 5 minutes a piece?! No way I'm holding a plank nor fast feet taps for 5 minutes.

Hello. I am having the same problem. Not being able to configure exercises for any duration makes me use other apps instead of Samsung Health.
