Need Ability to Add More Exercise Shortcuts on Watch Charge 5

[alford91]

I wish Fitbit would update to allow more than 7 exercise shortcuts to be stored on a watch. I like to switch up my workouts, and 7 is just not enough. It’s inconvenient and not always practical to have to delete/add them in the app in order to switch out the 7 exercises.

Hi, welcome to the Community forums, @alford91.   

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Charge 5 device and the shortcuts. 

It would be very useful to be able to have more than 7 exercises on the device. I noticed a few related ideas have been posted in the forums, I would recommend that you vote  for these ideas in the Feature Suggestion board of the Community, since this section is regularly monitored by the team of developers: 

• Add more than 7 Exercise Shortcut.
• Allow adding more than the default options as training shortcuts.

This is very helpful for the team to continue to track popularity and demand over time. Thanks again for sharing all your feedback about this.

I don't mind the number but it won't seem to let me add 'Football' and 'Squash' as short-cuts (but .

I have to log as tennis from the watch and edit after in an iPhone app... Android App or Dashboard using Chrome do note allow me to edit 'Categorize Exercise'?

@M_Brian Thank you for your reply regarding the exercise shortcuts. 

Please keep in mind that not all exercises are available as shortcuts. You can find more information about what activities are available in this article. For all other activities that aren't included, it's recommended to use "Workout" as a shortcut option instead. You can also post your suggestion about having a specific exercise on the Charge 5 in the Feature Suggestion board of the Community so other users can vote for it. 

Regarding the option to edit and exercise, please make sure to follow the instructions listed here as well. 

@RedMerlot Thanks for sharing your inquiry about this. The elliptical should be included as an option between the shortcuts. To add elliptical, please make sure that you've followed these steps: 

1. Tap the Today tab     your profile picture   your device image.
2. Tap Exercise Shortcuts and make your changes:

• Tap + Exercise Shortcut to add an exercise.
• To remove an exercise, swipe left on a shortcut and tap Delete (on Windows 10, tap the trash can icon).
• To reorder the exercises, tap Edit. Press and hold a shortcut, and drag it up or down to change its position.
