How can I set the Exercise portion to do something other than walk, hike, or run? I am in PT right now, and believe me, all that should count for something. It's mostly upper body stuff due to shoulder surgery. Appreciate any help! Thanks.

It sounds like you are starting exercise from the phone app.  Use the Exercise App on the Fitbit device instead, with 21 options.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Geez. I was trying to start it from the Fitbit Charge 5 that I have, not my phone. Sorry for the confusion. And thanks again. I will go into the link and see if that does it!

I figured you were trying from phone app because walk, hike, run are the only the options there.  If you were starting from Charge 5, I would have expected there would have been more than those 3 options available.

Hi do I add non automatically recognized exercises on an inspire2? I did an online pump class 30mins and tried to add and it wouldn't accept any exercise search? Please help. Cheers Julianna
