When I log exercise it removes my active minutes. I walked on the treadmill for 50 minutes, it showed 50 active minutes. I went to log the walk in the track activity area so it would show progress toward the "active days" goal. It did show that progress, but removed the active minutes. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

It's great to welcome you @optionalfield. Yes, the activities walking and running might take some steps and active minutes off. In this care, I recommend not logging this activity, you can try to log your exercise under the name "Treadmill".

Catch you later. Woman Happy
