How do I add exercises on Charge 3?

[Katatina]

I only get option on fitbit 3 to select running, walking and swimming. Is there a possibility to add different ones? Aqua aerobics, yoga, Pilates...

Help! I 😊

Welcome on board @Katatina, it's nice to see you here! Users can choose from over 15 exercise types—including run, interval workout, swim, and yoga, to customize the app with your favorite workouts. If a specific exercise isn’t available, choose workout as your exercise type.

Fitbit app:

1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon >  your device image.
2. Tap Exercise Shortcuts.
3. To add a new exercise shortcut, tap the + icon and select an exercise. 
4. To remove an exercise shortcut, swipe left on a shortcut (on Windows 10, tap the trashcan icon).
5. To reorder an exercise shortcut, press and hold a shortcut, then drag it up or down to change its position.
6. Sync your device.

Fitbit.com Dashboard:

1. Log in to your fitbit.com dashboard and click the gear icon in the top right corner. 
2. Click Settings > Devices. 
3. Scroll down to Exercise Shortcuts. 
4. Click Edit Exercise Shortcuts to choose the exercises you want on your device. Then click Save. 
5. Click and drag the Row Reorder icons to change the order of the exercises on your device. 
6. Sync your device.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need further assistance!

Is there anyway to add either "dance" or "zumba" to the exercises???

@heyjude25

I would choose it as "workout" and then you can go into the dashboard and rename it when you're done with the exercise.  It's going to calculate calories the same regardless of what it's named.

Responding to the recommended way to add to the exercise choice list.

there is no “gear” at the upper left in the dashboard mode.  I have the tracker 3.  I need to add stationary bike to my choices.  when Exercising I have been putting the. Tracker on the pedal.  Not wearing it on my arm.  As it does not register as exercise.  I have been adding it manually under bike but that’s not very accurate.  Please help.

Biking only registers through a GPS, so when you're on a stationary bike, you're not moving.  Treadmill may be a better option.

I also do not have the settings gear anywhere.   I need to add yoga to my exercises. Appreciate any help

What if you don't have "exercise shortcut" icon?  Under goals It just says "exercise" and when I tap on it.  It takes me to exercises that came with the Fitbit.  I have no option to change and add. I'm looking to add my personalized HIIT workout. 

[tristaner]

It’s a little different than described.  From

the app, you click on the Fitbit icon on the top left

It seems everyone has a different opinion as to have to do this so I called
tech support and they explained it and I was able to do it on the charge 3.
Open the dashboard open the weekly exercise box click on the hourglass on
the upper right add the exercise.

There is no option to edit the workout selection or interval workout timings.pls help.Android OS with charge 3

Does the 15 include rowing? I currently use a charge 2 and keep getting offers to up grade, as I row a lot that would tip me over the edge I think

Thanks

Sigh my Android app does not display option to edit the exercises despite
reinstalling the app.

[moakriss]

why is this not available on my android app? I only have 6 exercises to choose from on my charge 3! 

[moakriss]

I have the same problem! I can't add an exercise on my android app!

>From the weekly exercise box, click on the little plus sign and round icon.
Mine is located on the top right. Once that opens you can add.

[tristaner]

Use a computer. You should have the options.
