Choosing a workout on my apple watch SE

I would like to request assistance in choosing a workout on my watch. I'm not able to choose a walk/run workout and only able to log step walked on my daily exercise activity.


Can't seem to find the workout app on my phone either.


Thanking you in anticipation.

Apple Watch SE, 7

  1. Open the Workout app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Turn the Digital Crown to the workout you want to do.
  3. Tap Add Workout at the bottom of the screen for sessions like Tai Chi or kickboxing.
  4. To set a goal, tap .
  5. Choose a calorie, time, distance, or open goal (meaning that you’ve set no particular goal but still want your Apple Watch to track your workout).
  6. Turn the Digital Crown or tap + / – to set.
  7. When you’re ready to go, tap Start.

As you use the app and choose workouts, the order of workouts reflects your preferences.

Tip: To start a workout without setting a goal, just tap the workout type you’re going for—a run, walk, or stair stepper.
