It would be nice to have the above mentioned activities in the exercise shortcuts. I see folks pushing strollers but since they aren't moving their arms back and forth they won't get steps measured and that is a shame. If I had Gardening and Housework as exercise selections I might do them more often and they are certainly expend more calories than lying about on the couch.

You can add custom activities if you want. It would be near impossible to add all the exercises out there.

 

I use workout mode a lot and set up custom activities and rename when it syncs. Works very well for me

 

Manual is here if you want to read up on it

Gardening is there but can’t add housework! Considering I haven’t got time to go out on a bike, join a gym etc after full time work, it would be nice if I could choose to categorise housework as housework! If it recognises I’m working my **** off doing it, it would be nice to name and recognise it!! Hate to say it, but feels pretty sexist to me!?!!
