Fit bit sports choices

[Bingy99]

Can some additional sports be added for example Badminton, Equestrian, more choices of cycling activity

This would be really useful

Hi, @Bingy99, you can always add a "custom activity".  You need to do this on your web-based dashboard: go to log--> activity then scroll down to the bottom.  In the box on the right you can create your activity.

Once created on the web it will be available to you on your app.

If you would like to track one of your custom activities using your Blaze, simply choose "workout" under your exercise shortcuts and track as normal.

When you are done it will sync to your log as a workout, with all the details.  Next if you are using iOS select your "workout" and chose "categorize exercise".  If you are using Android click on the pencil icon.

Thank you for your help

I have managed to work that out, however, the workout choice does not seem to record steps with the other stats

If I log tennis for example, can I then change the excersise to Badminton on the records

Great to see you around @Bingy99 and @Julia_G thanks for stopping by.

I think it would be great to have more sports for option in the Blaze, I recommend checking the Sports additions request, vote for it and leave your comment. Also, as recommend by our friend, you can manually log these activities by doing the following from a computer:

1. Go to the Activities page by clicking Log at the top of your dashboard, then click Activities. 
2. Under Log Activities, click a common activity or search for your activity in the search box. 
3. Select your activity from the search results. If the activity is not in our system, you have the option to create your own activity by clicking the Create custom activity text that will appear below the search field. 
4. Enter the duration, distance (if applicable), and start time of your activity. You have the option to manually enter the number of calories burned here if you'd like to. 
5. Click Log Activity. Your activity will now be visible and editable in the Logged Activities area. 

I hope this helps, catch you later.

Hi, @Bingy99, no, you cannot do that.  If you use one of the exercise shortcuts on your Blaze, only the "workout" option is editable to change the name.

I am very confused by your statement that "workout" does not record steps.  It definitely should! Unfortunately it will not record "distance" unless it is recorded as walk, run or hike.

As I mentioned, the option that really should work best, if you want to track using your Blaze rather than creating a manual log is to track with "workout" and then edit the name to Badminton.  If you have previously created Badminton as an activity on your web based dashboard you can make the name change directly in your app.
