- Open the Alexa app on your phone.
- Tap “More” on the bottom of the screen.
- Tap “Settings.”
- Choose Account Settings.
- Tap Workouts.
- Select “Create Workout profile.”
After a workout, Echo Buds users can see stats by doing this:
- Open the Alexa app.
- Tap devices.
- Choose “Echo &Alexa.“Select “Echo Buds.”
- Select “Workouts.”
The workout can be activated by saying “Alexa start my run” and users canalso ask Alexa to pause, end or provide an update on your workout.
