21. A computer program product comprising computer executable code embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executing on a wearable physiological monitor, performs the steps of: (7) (6)

receiving data from a number of sensors on the wearable physiological monitor, the data including accelerometer data and heart rate data acquired by the wearable physiological monitor;

applying a threshold based on at least one of the accelerometer data and the heart rate data to identify two endpoints of an interval of increased physical activity indicative of a workout by a user of the wearable physiological monitor;

dividing the data including the accelerometer data and the heart rate data into a number of sequential segments;

determining a probability that each one of a number of sequential segments of accelerometer data includes data from one or more locations on a body of the user by applying a machine learning algorithm to each one of the number of sequential segments;

selecting one of the one or more locations having a highest overall probability of being a current position from all of the number of sequential segments as a position of the wearable physiological monitor on the body of the user; and

conditionally employing an automatic workout classification algorithm to detect a type of the workout only when the position is an ankle or a bicep of the user, wherein the automatic workout classification algorithm includes a deep convolutional neural network trained to calculate a probability that a chunk of data including at least one of accelerometer data and heart rate data from the wearable physiological monitor during the workout is each of a number of candidate types for the workout.
