stationary bike distance

[Mbergh22]

Since  the Blaze can't measure distance if I am on a stationary bike doing the bike workout is there a way I can add it to my workout results? My bike does give me distance on the screen.

Hey there @Mbergh22. Good to see you around!

What I can recommend in this case would be to log your exercise manually. This will help you keep track of your activity, however, it will not count towards your lifetime distance so this is something to consider when manually logging an activity because the same thing applies for steps. For the instructions on how to manually log your activities, you can take a look at this post.

Hope this helps and if you need anything else, let me know!

@FerdinandFitbit I have the same issue. Is it better to put the Blaze in workout mode rather than bike? Or will it really not make a difference? I used the bike to warm up for a workout and did 3 miles but my Blaze tracked it as 1/4 of a mile. I manually added it to my log and the calorie difference was only 15 calories, which isn't a big difference. I assume using the bike or workout mode would be better than manually adding it since the Blaze is tracking my heart rate so the calorie burn is probably pretty accurate. I know my HR wasn't over 98 on the bike for my 3 mile, 20 minute warm up.  I think I might use workout mode and then edit it to bike afterwards becasue I don't need the GPS for a stationary bike. Funny though becasue the GPS tracked it like I was outside riding around!

@NikiS I have two thoughts 

1. As you say you can use workout mode and relable later, this might be the best, since the event will be labored correctly.
2. The other thought would be to use Bike mode, but first go into settings and turn GPS off. GPS will only work when your moving across the planet, and will not work inside. But then the stationary bike will be Labled like a regular bike.

Thanks @Rich_Laue! I didn't even think of turning the GPS off!
