The '''Activity screen''' is where you log daily movement — steps and active minutes — and individual workout sessions. You reach it from [[Today's Page]] — scroll down to '''The Log''' and tap '''Activity''' — or from [[The Quick-Log button]] by choosing '''Activity'''. See [[Using the iOS app]] for the wider tour, and [[Activity tracking]] for the background.

== Logging your day ==
The '''Today''' card holds two stepper fields:
- '''Steps''' — moves in steps of 250
- '''Active min''' — minutes, in steps of 5
Fill in either one (or both) and tap '''Log Day'''. The button is active whenever steps or minutes has a number, and filing drops a '''LOGGED''' confirmation. Logging the day '''overwrites''' that day's step and minute totals rather than adding to them, so it's the running total you enter, not an increment.
== Coach My Movement ==
Not sure what to do? Under the '''Coach My Movement''' stamp, tap '''Suggest Activities''' and the app hands you '''five ideas that fit you today''' — ordered from an easy win to a gentle stretch, each with a one-line reason, a duration, an intensity, and a '''LOG''' button that logs it in a tap. The picks are grounded in your own logs (your Health Context, weight versus goal, activity level, and recent sessions) and always put safety first. '''More ideas''' swaps in a fresh set. See [[Coach My Movement]] for the full rundown.
== Logging a workout ==
Below that, '''Log a Workout''' lets you record a single session. Pick a type from the grid of chips — walking, running, cycling, strength, yoga, HIIT, swimming, or rowing — set a '''Duration''' in minutes (steps of 5, starting at 30), and tap '''Log <Type>'''. Each workout is filed separately from the day's step total, so you can log several in a day and they stack up under it.
== Calories burned ==
Days and workouts carry a calorie figure. A number shown with a leading '''~''' is a server estimate (worked out from the activity type, duration, or steps); a figure you entered yourself shows without the tilde. So '''~240 kcal''' is an estimate and '''240 kcal''' is your own number.
== The record ==
'''The Record''' lists days that had movement — steps, active minutes, or a workout. Each day shows its date, total calories, '''STEPS''', and '''ACTIVE''' minutes, with any workout sessions listed beneath (type, duration, calories, and time). If nothing's been logged you'll see '''"No activity yet — Log steps or a workout to start."''' Pull down to refresh.
== Editing ==
- Press and hold a day's totals and choose '''Clear steps & minutes''' — a dialog asks '''"Clear this day's steps and active minutes?"''', and confirming zeroes just those totals (any workouts on the day are left alone) with a '''TOTALS CLEARED''' toast.
- Press and hold a workout and choose '''Strike from the record''' to remove that session, confirmed with a '''STRUCK FROM THE RECORD''' toast.
== How it feeds your day ==
What you log here drives the '''Move''' ring on [[Today's Page]], filling toward your daily active-minutes goal (or showing your step count), and it shapes the coach's headline about movement. The calories you burn are weighed against what you eat in the '''energy-balance''' and weekly '''deficit''' figures on the Dashboard & Trends screen, so activity is one half of the calorie picture — see [[Trends on iOS]] and [[Diet and exercise]].
== Apple Health ==
If you've connected Apple Health, steps, Apple Exercise Time, and workouts can come across from it automatically — Health is treated as the source of truth for those daily totals — so on a connected phone you often won't need to type steps or minutes at all. See [[Apple Health sync]] to set it up.
