The main purpose of any fitness tracker or smartwatch is to stay healthy in our busy lives. Fitness devices motivate us and track health performance in many ways. Health features like ECG, BP, SpO2, blood glucose, sleep rate, heart rate, stress, breathing, body composition, snore detection, and much more play vital roles in our health. Additionally, workout modes or exercises on the wearables keep us motivated by tracking various activities. The new Galaxy Watch 4, Watch 5 & Watch 6 have plenty of workout modes to perform different activities.
Many companies claim over 100 sports modes on their tracker or watch, but have you ever counted them? Also, have you wondered in all of them, how many will help you? Samsung never mentioned the number of activities on any of its Galaxy watches or Galaxy trackers. Today, I will do it for you. I will count all of those activities pre-installed on the Galaxy Watches, and how to use them. Further, I will explain how many support automatic workout detection, and how many are counted in HIIT workout profiles.

# How to start workout modes or activities
To start any workout modes or activities. Just tap on it, and the next thing you will see, the watch is tracking your exercise. You can start or end any activity as per your need.
I have successfully listed out 97 workout activities on Galaxy Watches. Samsung has tried to collect exercises from all the major sports and activities all around the world. Go to Settings, or pause, resume, stop, finish or start new workouts by swiping your finger from left to right.
You can also start auto-detection and voice guidance from the same settings page inside the workout mode.
Now go and plan your workouts to stay healthy using your watch. If you have any queries, then use the comment box below to express your mind.
