Is there a way to manually add exercise types?  Different machines?  Indoor cycling?  I live up north. We don't cycle outside in winter. I have a hybrid machine.  I'd like to have it recognized.

Thee are over 15 exercise types available. 

See How do I change or reorder the exercises in the Exercise app?

 

When you say you would like to have something "recognized", I wonder if you are relying on auto-recognition of exercise.  If so consider using the exercise app to see the full range of options available.

My app does not have a + sign to add an exercise.

If you are to the 'Exercise Shortcuts' screen and do not see a + near top right, that probably means you already have 7 exercises selected.  Remove 1 or more by swiping left on exercise to free up some slots, then the + should appear.  Though there are more than 15 exercises, only 7 can be selected as options at a time.

So I open the app and tap the top right icon and it takes me to “account.”  Nothing comes up as “exercise shortcuts.” I have goals, discover, privacy and security and settings. Under goals there is activity, exercise, nutrition & body, and sleep. I tap on exercise and yes there are 7 activities listed under auto-recognized exercises. Swiping left just takes me to the previous page. It doesn’t let me remove them.

After tapping the "Account" icon, tap our device image, i.e. the icon of a Versa.
