Exercise event tracking

[banjonoise]

If I chose "outdoor work" for lawn  mowing, I'll get the miles walked and the GPS display. However, if I go to the gym on the same day and turn on "circuit training", then the app doesn't see the "outdoor work" event.  Is there a limit to how many exercise events in one day, can happen?  Not the first time this has happened.

Hello @banjonoise 

What do you mean by "The app doesn't see the outdoor work" ? Could you please post screen capture to be more explicit.

@banjonoise Most likely the reason is that you don't get GPS signal while exercising in the gym. "Outdoor Workout" is meant for activities like kayaking, stand up paddle board, downhill skiing and similar activities where you don't count steps.

And there's absolutely no limit to how many exercises you track per day.

[banjonoise]

Thanks. I really wasn't referring to the GPS. It was the fact I had 2
exercise events but only one showed up in the fitbit report.

What "Fitbit report"? There are several ways to see your activities and you need to be more specific.

[banjonoise]

The progress report it sends me everyday giving me my statistics. Shows a
walking map or how much cardio I used in a workout. If you want the
official name, I don't know what it's called.
It's some hooray, you done good type thing, but it ties into the Medicare
advantage plan.

[t.parker]

I don't get anything like that. Only weekly progress report with not much details.

[banjonoise]

Probably part of the premium level. It was free with the Charge 5 which was
also free with the health plan.
This a partial screenshot.

@banjonoise I think I get it: you get some sort of daily report from your Medicare insurer. This is nothing to do with Fitbit itself.

Fitbit logs all exercises and those as well as their details are available in the Fitbit App on your phone and the dashboard on fitbit.com

[banjonoise]

Nope. Comes from the fitbit app

[SebWotan]

@banjonoise Could you please post a screen capture of that report ?

[banjonoise]

In this thread, I already did but I'll do it again.

[t.parker]

@banjonoise you didn't attach any screenshots before. At least we can't see it anywhere in this thread.

[SebWotan]

No there is no screen capture in the thread.

[banjonoise]

I've posted the screen shot 3 times. It's being blocked or it won't
go through

[SebWotan]

Well screen capture do not show.

Anyway, a report, whether it is from Fitbit or from your Medicare provider is always a summary. Does the App or dashboard shows all exercises logged ?

[banjonoise]

No. That was the start of my inquiry. When I do 2 exercise categories, it
logs 1 of them. Today I'm going to the gym using circuit training. When I
finish I'm walking a trail using "walk category". We'll see if it captures
both of them. This is later today

[SebWotan]

You confirm this is on:

- fitbit.com

- click Dashboard

- Look at Recent exercise --> there is only 1 exercise per day even if you do 2 exercises ?

- Then under Recent exercise, click on Show More --> it also shows 1 exercise per day, even if you do 2 exercises ?

@banjonoise I have Fitbit Premium for a while now. There is no daily report that is sent to you by Fitbit. All you get is a weekly summary of your last 7 days activities und successes. Could you please tell us some text of what is sent to you, as you seem to have difficulties attaching a screen shot?

[banjonoise]

That's what I was asking about. If I do 2 events, how many get counted?
