Hello. How does one log ems (electrical muscle stimulation) training? The alta automatically logged it and calories burned and such but as a "walk" and tried to change that but it won't let me log a not there exercise. What might be close if nothing else?

Hello @sbroll!
Let me help you log your EMs training!
You can manually log any type of activity you want, or even create custom ones. You can find the instructions on how to do it on this help article. You will be able to add the needed calories without having to worry about it adding steps.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello. I have tried what you suggested however when I tried to log it manually it won't let me because ems is not recognised in the search bar. Also my Fitbit seems to have stoped recognising ems as active minutes...any suggestions as to why?

Hello @sbroll.
As I mentioned in my post, you could create a custom suggestion to log it.
In regards of the active minutes, you can read more about how active minuted work by clicking here. That should explain what could be happening with the active minutes.
Let me know if there are any other questions.
