Record a Workout with Oura

Last updated: June 10, 2026

Ready to record your workout with Oura? Here's how:

Automatic Activity Detection

The easiest way to record a workout is through Automatic Activity Detection (AAD). Simply wear your Oura Ring during a workout, and its details will be shown in the app, including the type of activity, its duration, and intensity.

There is no action required on your part to start or stop tracking activities with AAD—simply confirm the detected activity when you're done. You can edit any detected activities, ensuring that the time, duration, and type are correct, or you can choose to dismiss an activity altogether.

Live Activity Tracking

Live Activity Tracking enables you to see real-time metrics directly in the Oura App during an activity. Available Live Activity measurements include pace and distance with GPS, and live heart rate with third-party heart rate monitors.

Simply tap the + menu in the bottom right of the Oura App's Today tab and select "Start live activity" before beginning your activity.

Live Activity Tracking replaces ours previous Record Workout Heart Rate feature.

Manually Add an Activity

If the above options fail to record your workout, you can instead manually add an activity after you've completed it. Tap the + menu in the bottom right of the Oura App's Today tab and select "Add an activity," then select your activity type, duration, and intensity.

Activities can be manually added, edited, or deleted at any time on any day, including previous days.

Using Other Wearables with Oura

If you use another wearable while you work out, you can import your activity data into the Oura App through one of our third-party integrations. Popular integrations include Apple Health, Health Connect by Android, and Strava.
