Is there a way to add a data point for steps and workouts in the Apple Health app in iOS 10? I cannot find it.

I don't believe there is a way to do it through the Health app, but 3rd party apps do have the ability to show this. I use Pedometer++ from the App Store (no affiliation, free app with ads). Here is a screenshot of my steps.
It depends on your iPhone model. The iPhone 5S and later is equipped with a motion co-processor, such as the M7 in the 5S or the M8 in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. You can give Health permission to read data from the motion co-processor.
Also, any data from your Apple Watch (if you own one) is stored in Health. So heart rate, steps taken, walking + running distance, active calories, etc. are counted automatically.
Additionally, 3rd-party apps can use Health to log any appropriate info about your health and activity into the app, such as Nike Running or an app that can detect your pulse using the camera in your iPhone.
You can also log data into Heath and modify data yourself within the app.
Best Answer
From the main screen (Health Data), tap on Activity, then the item you want to add a data point for (Steps, Walking + Running Distance, etc.)
From there, tap on the + in the upper-right hand corner and you can enter a new data point.
