How to see your weekly workout summary on iPhone in Puffin'

To see a weekly workout summary on your iPhone, open the Activity tab in Puffin' and pick Week. Since version 1.4 (release notes), My Activity sums up your week in one screen, with month and year views too, using the workouts already in Apple Health.

I wanted one place to answer "did I have a good week?" without adding anything up myself.

What My Activity shows

My Activity shows six numbers for the period you pick, with your workouts underneath.

Number What it means
calories Active calories burned
steps / day Your average steps per day
workouts How many workouts you did
miles walked Distance walked (km walked on phones set to kilometres)
active mins Total time spent working out
challenges How many of your challenges you hit a goal in

Everything comes from Apple Health, so there's nothing to log by hand. If a workout is in Health, Puffin' can read it.

Can I see a month or a year?

Yes, the toggle at the top switches the period, and the list below changes shape to fit.

View What the list shows
Week Every workout
Month A table for each week
Year A card for each kind of workout

The puffin's own year view would be a single card. Swimming.

Can I leave out short workouts?

Yes, you can count only workouts of 20 minutes or more. Turn on Count only full workouts in Settings, under My activity.

That leaves short ones, like a warm-up or a walk to the shop, out of the workout total. Nothing is removed from Apple Health, and short workouts still count toward your challenges.

How do I add a workout that's missing?

Tap the + button on the Activity tab. You can record a workout on your phone, or add one by hand if you forgot to record it.

If nothing shows up at all, Puffin' may not have permission to read Health. Check Settings › Health › Data Access & Devices › Puffin' on your iPhone.

Try it

Open the Activity tab and pick Week. Puffin' is free on the App Store for iPhone and Apple Watch. More at startpuffin.com.
