I have done a few "workouts" lately and active minutes don't show up on the "dashboard " but the "workout" does however come up... What can I do to fix this?

    You have to workout for a minimum amount of time (I think 10 minutes) before you get any active minute credit for it, then it backfills them in. How long are your "workouts"?

    I realize this thread is old, but I have the same problem and my workouts are at least 30 minutes. It only counts my runs or walks as active minutes. It kind of drives me nuts!

    Besides the length of time, the amount of calorie burn to quality as active needs to be 3 x your sleeping rate (BMR).

    So look at graph of daily calorie burn, 5 min section while sleeping.

    If workout isn't 3 x that amount - won't count.
    If average burn isn't that for long enough - won't count.
