You get credited for a day of exercise whenever you get an exercise session recorded. That can happen 2 ways:
1) You record an exercise session using the Exercise App on your wrist. Anything recorded with the Exercise App counts as an exercise session.
2) You get an exercise session auto-recognized. That means Fitbit recognizes that you are exercising, makes an educated guess as to what activity you are doing, and you continue at least as long as the minimum time required, 15 minutes by default but can be set I believe from 10 - 90 minutes.
Total daily step count, calorie burn, or Active Zone Minutes by themselves do not get you a 'Day of Exercise' unless you also got an exercise session as described above.
Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
