Zumba for the Fitbit Blaze

[gerty16]

I got my Fitbit Blaze and am super excited, but I noticed that Zumba isn't an exercise option. I go to Zumba many times a week. What would you use in place of Zumba to start my exercise? Thank you in advance.

I would use Workout. I use this for anything that is not listed

Hello @gerty16 It's great to have you here! Using workout like @WendyB suggested it's a great option then you can edit the activity on your Dashboard to add your Zumba class. When I do Zumba my tracker detects the activity with SmartTrack and then logs it as a workout. I would recommend to review the help article: How do I track my exercise and activities with Fitbit? to find the method that fits your needs! 

I'll be around if you have any question! 😉

I use the workout feature also for Zumba, I also read that if you don't change the setting the Blaze will automatically find the Aerobic workout setting and track your exercise. It would be nice if this was one of the manual selections we could add to our blaze instead of waiting 10 minutes or so for the Blaze to detect the workout.

Hello @gabev36 welcome to the Fitbit Community! I know it would be great to have Zumba on the exercise shortcuts of the Blaze, I found this idea has been suggested on the Feature Request board. Click here to vote and add your comments to the idea.
