In workouts, and Countdown/timers in workouts

[L33k]

So far am loving my Blaze, however, there are some small gripes which i thought would have been on the mind of the developers from the beginning. 

While my workouts mostly consist of weightlifting I do cardio and HIIT. While weightlifting or HIIT I really need a countdown timer that I can set between my sets! With preferably a Vibration at 0 seconds to let me know I can begin again. 

While talking about in a workout, why am I not able to backout of the session? Even when paused I cant back out. What is the purpose of this? I start a work out, and decide I want to do a fitstar ab workout. whelp, I cant back out.... 

Would love some more functionality please.

Hey there @L33k. I'm glad to see you in the Community and also to hear that you're loving your Blaze so far! 😄

When it comes to tracking exercises, using the timer and using FitStar simultaneously, you will only be able to do one of the three at a time.

Also, when you're tracking an exercise, a workout for instance, you will be able to pause it by pressing the pause icon at the lower right corner, resume by pressing the "Play" icon in the same location and finish the workout by pressing the flag at the top right corner, however, you can not exit the exercise tracking in the middle of the workout or exit without choosing to either finish or resume the workout once it's paused.

If you'd like something like this to be implemented, I'd recommend taking a look at the Feature Suggestions board and see if anyone has already suggested the same and if not, feel free to create your own for others with the same idea to vote for it and the more votes it gets, the more chance to be implemented.

If you have any other question, I'll  be glad to help! 🙂

I found a similar issue.  While in a workout mode I can not set my Countdown mode to time certain excerises that require time management instead or reps.  So not happy about that.  Makes sense to be able to do both at one time.  This was not well thought out.

I will have to agree with you on this @MojoDance. I've also been using my Fitbit Blaze to do some routines that I want to track as a workout but can't use the timer or countdown feature while I'm recording my activity so I have to use the timer on my phone.

I'd still recommend taking a look at the Feature Suggestions board and see if anyone has already suggested the same and if not, you free to create your own request for other users with the same need to vote for it and the more votes it gets, the more chance to be implemented.

Anything else, I'm here to help. Welcome to the Community! 🙂
