Best mode to record spin class

[DWrightham]

Hello everyone, I have just recently had a Fitbit blaze and I want to use it to record my activity during a spin class.. Not sure what exercise setting to use?? Bike/elliptical or workout?? I have it set up to automatically track after 10/15 mins but wanted to do it manually so any advice?? I think the bike one is for outdoor biking so do I use workout or elliptical?? Thanks in advance xxx

My thought wpuld be to had Bike mode, worth connected gps off.

Before starting, press the settings gear and turn off

GPS feature won't work indoors

That's why i said to turn connected gps off before pressing the 'Let's go" arrow.

I was able to add Spinning to the blaze...from the app I went to the blaze picture, tap it and go to "exercise shortcuts". That is where I searched for spinning and added it.

I don't know where to find the photo screen on the app. a little more detail please

[SunriseGirl]

@Kim34 When you open the app, on the dashboard page, there is a "picture" icon of the blaze. Tap on it and it will take you to the blaze settings.

open fitbit on your computer.  Down the bottom left is blaze icon (tiny watch), click on it to open it up a little bigger then click again.

This will open up a new screen with aqua area with your name in it and other information about the watch features.

go to the right hand side of this app.  

slide the scroll bar till you see "exercise shortcuts"

click on this

it will open another area with ticks next to run, bike, weights etc.  

down the bottom will be a + sign.

click on this

add whatever else you like

you could also trash what you don't like when you are in this area of course.

hope this helps

and then what???????

[sharlie66]

have you worked it out yet @ kim34?

[SunriseGirl]

@Kim34 Then scroll down to Exercise Shortcuts and tap on it.  You should see your list of exercises (if you already have 7 exercises you will need to delete one in order to add spinning) then, tap on the plus sign and type "spinning".  This should then have added it as an exercise shortcut that you will find on your blaze watch.  You can also do this from a computer as @sharlie66 has explained above.

Thanks I have only had the fitbit for 1 week. This did the trick!

[SunriseGirl]

@Kim34 Glad it worked! Enjoy!

Where is the "blaze picture"?  When I go to account, I only see exercise and there are a few listed but not spinning?

[SunriseGirl]

@sponta It is not on the account page.  The icon picture of the blaze is on the Dashboard page of the app. It is next to the word "FITBIT" at the top of the Dashboard page,  Tap the icon picture of the Blaze, then scroll down to Exercise Shortcuts and tap on it. You should see your list of exercises (if you already have 7 exercises you will need to delete one in order to add spinning) then, tap on the plus sign and type "spinning". This should then have added it as an exercise shortcut that you will find on your blaze watch. You can also do this from a computer as @sharlie66 has explained above.  

[sponta]

ok I added spinning to exercise shortcuts and did delete one other exercise.

Now, how do I find it on the app. It did show on my blaze!  So this will not show on my phone app?

When I use I start on my watch and then it will sync to the phone app??

Sorry!  Thanks for your help
