Start an stop the Strength activity manually. The automated activity detection can never work reliably, since it needs certain time to find out that you are doing something, and trying to guess what it is.

hi thanks for your reply.. I've been starting and stopping the activity manually and this is when the problem occurs.

Well, in that case stop to be lazy and working out just 5 minutes out of 40!

Now seriously - share the Web Link to the activity, so that we can have a look at it. Perhaps someone can spot a problem.
