Step-tracking app for things besides steps

What are some good android exercise-tracking apps that track and reward all forms of exercise and not just steps?

My partner is highly motivated by her step counter. Sometimes in bad weather she cycles on a stationary bike instead of walking, but the stationary bike experience is VERY disappointing because it doesn't count towards her step goal. Similarly, I've stopped tracking my steps entirely because most days I walk on a treadmill and it feels silly to carry my phone on the treadmill.

What can we use that will track different forms of exercise and treat them as fungible such that we can attain the same quantitative goal by cycling, walking, canoeing, etc? I'm imagining that we'd be entering this data by hand after the fact, since surely even a fitbit can't detect cycling in place.

Part of the nice thing about counting steps is that they're largely disconnected from calorie-counting and weight loss. We can probably live with a calorie-based app if need be but it would be a lot nicer to have something that translates a variety of activities into 'steps' or 'activity points' or similar arbitrary but interchangeable units.
