For exercises that measure duration, there is an option beside the time to hit play. It is commonly believed that if you type a time into this section and hit play, that it will act as a timer, but this is not the case. This play option actually acts as a stopwatch.
You can either input the duration of the exercise manually here or leave it at 0 and then tap Play. It will then act as a stopwatch, allowing you to stop it when you are done with the exercise, and it will record the stopwatch time as the duration.
