How to add a workout you’ve already completed
If you’ve already completed your workout but forgot to turn on tracking, no need to fear! It’s easy to manually enter a workout you’ve already finished:
Open the Google Fit application.
Tap the Plus Sign in the lower-right corner.
Tap Add activity.
By default, Google Fit will use the same workout that you last tracked. If you need to change this, tap the drop down menu near the top.
Tap the activity type you’re entering.
Fill out the form with your activity title, duration, any notes, calories burned, steps taken and/or miles completed.
The app will automatically calculate your Move Minutes and Heart Points.
Tap Save at the top of the screen.
Your activity will be added to your journal, just as if you tracked it it the first place. And that’s it!
