How to customize the exercise list on Charge 5?

[JPaalman68]

Which activity do I chose on my fitbit charge 5 when I want to do yoga or pilates. I can choose 6 activities: running, treadmill, swimming, weights, interval workout and cycling but no yoga or pilates. 

Any suggestions? Thanks

You can get Yoga or Pilates as options.  See How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device?

There are seven auto recognized exercises on my new Charge 5 with the latest update.  WALK, RUN, OUTDOOR BIKE, ELLIPTICAL, SPORT, AEROBIC WORKOUT, SWIMMING.  These are the only ones; customization is not an option.

I don't think you looked at the link I provided in my answer above; it tells how to customize among choice of 20.  And you didn't really need to post this twice, without even giving anyone time to respond to your first post.

I did read the li k and it does not allow for customization.   My charge 2 allowed it, so is it a bug?

Hello @Kbmaddox and welcome to the Community.  You customize the Exercise Shortcuts on your Charge 5 just like do it on your Charge 2.  Tap on your profile avatar > Change 5 > Exercise Shortcuts.  Follow the same steps you did on the Charge 2 to edit, add, rearrange, and so on.

Charge 5 it seems does not let you choose from the 20 exercises, which is rather disappointing. And yes I did follow your link.

I followed the path Profile Avatar > Change 5 > Exercise Shortcuts on the Android Fitbit app.

Once I removed one of the six shortcuts, by swiping the shortcut left (it said near the bottom "All shortcuts in use"), there was a + at the upper right.

Pressing the + opened a window allowing me me to add another exercise.

This deserves repeating. I had no idea I had to remove exercises before I could see the available options (I thought "all shortcuts in use" meant those 6 were the only options to ever use on the device). Months ago when I got my Inspire 2, I missed this step and I've been trying to log manually

Perfect mate, thank you
