Hello, what setting would you use to track 5 a side football?

[Bhavnit]

I really want to see how much I've run during a game.

It's great to have you here @Bhavnit! I would use "workout", because you're this type of exercise it's not like you're just running, you're moving your feet. When your Blaze syncs to your Dashboard, you'll see how many steps, distance, calories burned and heart rate you had during that specific timeframe. 

Once your exercise syncs, you can totally change the name of it in your online Dashboard by doing the following: 

- Go to your Dashboard > click on log > activities

- Choose workout > click on "pencil icon" > rename the activity to football. 

Note: This won't change the stats that your tracker already synced. 

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes!

Hi Siliva,

Thank you so much for replying.

I tried Workout the other - but as far as I could see it did not give a definative distance calculation over the period of the activity - it only tracked steps, so I could add everything up to work out my distance - but ideally I'd like it to tell me what I've covered  total for the period of activity. I tried epilitical (sp) a few days later - but I dont think this is right either as its icon indicates a cross trainer? Am i better off using run?

I would also like to know the answer to this as auto smart tracking doesn't give distance either. 

I guess the only other option to get distance for 5 a side football is to choose 'Run'?

Thanks for those details @Bhavnit. Hey there @MattA42. Since, we don't have an option to track 5 a side football. You can try to use run because it will give you the distance. However, I'm not sure if the information that you're going to get is going to be accurate at all since you're not just running. 

Hope this helps! Don't forget to share with us your experience.

Hi Silvia, As "run" doenst seem to be the best option and workout doenst give distance - is there a better option to use that will give the distance but better reflects the activity?

Can workout be permanently edited to say 5 a side football?   Thanks.

[SilviaFitbit]

Hey there @Colgor! The tile will show the days that you've used SmartTrack. However, it can't be edited to check other exercises that you've done. 

If you would like to post this idea in our Feature Suggestion board, those ideas are viewed by our engineers and developers. 

Hope this clarifies any doubt!
