Wearing the Fitbit Blaze while kickboxing

[Meganee5313]

Help! I’ve read every thread on kickboxing while using the blaze but I haven’t found a solution. I bought my blaze one month before it was discontinued. I’m actually annoyed that I made this purchase without knowing it would be a discontinued item the following month. 🙄. 

Anyway, I’ve tried everything during my kickboxing. I would like to know how much I burn during my workout. My blaze slides all over the place when I put it up higher. When I wrap it in my hand wraps and keep it underneath my glove, it hurts AND it doesn’t work. I’ll go maybe 30 seconds before it pauses and stops the workout. So has anyone tried it on the ankle or another solution before I go back to my polar watch? This is just frustrating as I spent $200 on a tracker that I cannot even use.

Welcome to the Community Forums @Meganee5313!

I'm sorry you're having problems using your Blaze while doing kickboxing. I think I can help you out with this.

Some users have found useful wearing it in the place you feel will give you a more accurate reading and you can put a sweat band on it. That way, the sweat band will help keeping the tracker in place and will also prevent the buttons from being accidentally pushed and pausing/ending your activities.

Hope you find this suggestion userful. Anything else you may need, I'm here to help!
