My Phone Is Following My Every Move?

So, I just clocked on the Health app and now I see all this data for my as far as steps, miles walked, flights climmbed. Now, I never enabled this app to track me. I looked in provacy and it doesn't really show anything giving this app permission to do so.

So, how does it know what I am doing and where I am going and what I am climbing? Is this somehow being done in the background and is this to assume that location services is constantly on or is it a vibration thing?

What gives, this is freaky.

Thanks. So anyone can recommend apps to fill some of that data in? Seems very rudimentary what it tracks without additional apps.

I have runkeeper but am open to options. I can no longer log other workouts in it like cross fit or treadmill runs. I hate that ability being gone.
