Track Exercise

[gwoodall61]

On the Blaze under "Exercise" there are 7 exercises listed: Walk, Workout, Elliptical, Treadmill, Weights, Bike, Run.

On the Fitbit App under "Track Exercise" there are only 3 exercises listed: Run, Walk, Hike.

Could the Blaze be updated to have the "missing" exercises added to the Fitbit app under "Track Exercises"?

What you're looking at is called MobileRun . It's a GPS activated way to track those three from the phone app. You wouldn't even need the Blaze with you. You wouldn't use GPS for Workout, Elliptical, Treadmill, and Weights. Not sure why outdoor Bike was left off though.

Thanks for the reply. My concerns are 1) if I just use, let's say "run" in
the MobileRun, along with my "bike" on my Blaze then on my fitbit app a
record of my "run" and "biking" are recorded. 2) if I only use my Blaze to
track the bike ride then I have to manually record the ride on my
Walgreen's "Balance Rewards" app. I guess I want the best of both worlds;
"outdoor bike" on the MobileRun so a recording of the ride will be made
automatic to the Walgreen's app and also to be able to monitor my heart
rate on my ride using the Blaze. Too much to ask for?

From what I can tell, Mobile run just activates GPS and is meant to track your steps, whether running, walking, or hiking. There's really no options. I don't use the Walgreens balance rewards so I can't help with that. I did look at the Walgreens web site and the Blaze is listed for earning points? https://www.walgreens.com/steps/appmarket.jsp
