Hello @hamster22, welcome aboard to the Fitbit Community. If you have either the Alta or the Alta HR note that the tracker itself doesn't have exercise shortcuts so is not possible to add this exercise to your tracker.

In order to track this exercise you can create a manual activity on your Fitbit app:

1. On the Fitbit app dashboard tap the Exercise tile to open your exercise history. This is the tile that says "Track exercise" or shows how many days you've worked out this week.
2. Tap the stopwatch icon in the top right corner.
3. Tap Log Previous.
4. Adjust the activity details and tap Log It.

Hope this helps and see you until the next time.

I have a Fit it Charge 2. How can I track yoga and spin/stationary cycle?

I have been using fit bit now for a few months and this was really bugging me thank you so much for a well explained and simple solution. I have now logged my yoga successfully and can stop hating myself for not reaching my exercise goal 🤦🏻‍:female_sign:

Is there a way for it to calculate your calories specifically for yoga or whatever other exercise you’ve done that isn’t on there? Or is it just an automatic amount depending on time spent exercising? For instance I want to be able to log insanity and yoga on my Alta, but simply saying I have done 30 minutes exercise will give me the Damien number of burnt calories when in reality it is likely to be very different? Thanks

Should say same number of calories, somehow autocorrected!
