Hello @Smoky145 and welcome to the Community.  Just to clarify one thing.  You tagged your post saying you use an Alta.  The Alta is an older entry level tracker that has limited capability.  You have two options and both use the Exercise tile on your Fitbit mobile app.  Tap on the "+" sign in the Exercise tile in the mobile app:

  • Put the toggle to TRACK and use the GPS sensors in your phone to track a walk, run, or hike.  This is a very old feature and these are the only choices.  Starting and stopping is pretty self explanatory.
  • Move the toggle to LOG.  Enter an activity in the Search field.  You should be given options for your start/stop time and other relevant data.
