Tracking inside bike rides

[Wdwgirl74]

What exercise would you select to record your indoor bike ride at the gym (stationary bike)? Would you pick the regular bike exercise (for out door biking) or walk? Want to get the best possible stats.

Really wish they would add stationary bike to the list

I think the best bet would be Workout, since while on a stationary bike the arm is not moving. It would mainly be the HR that is being monitored.
I know some day to put the tackler on the leg, but then your movements ate being takes as steps so everything will be off.

I think "spinning" is the same as "stationery bike" so I would definitely choose that.

I want the steps to show when I ride a bike though

If you want to maximize steps, first thing I'd try is putting Blaze in pocket, and don't put in exercise mode. Just let it count steps like normal, without any activity tracking.

The outdoor bike option is there to help capture speed/distance etc.  I would wonder what it would show if you chose that?  Aside from that curiosity, the poster before me is probably right - just don't record it as an activity.  I rode my bike outside today for 35 minutes, 5 miles and only got 19 minutes of cardio, 7 minutes of peak - my step count hardly moved at all (its not supposed to in that case), but I get what you're looking to do.  I'm more concerned with heart rate/duration than I am with steps.  i used to focus on steps too.

I use the "spinning" choice in exercise mode....I do receive a step count( usually around 5-6000 steps) I can't say how accurate the step count is but I am usually more concerned with heart rate and calories burned.

Tje outdoor bike option uses GPS, so if your on a stationary bike it will sat ypir standing still
