Can I change hourly activity from steps to activities?

[krk22]

I like to do quick 5 -10 minute workouts during the day.

Is it possible to change hourly activity to include other activities than steps.

Hello @krk22 and welcome to the Community.  Some health experts say that being sedentary is as bad or worse than smoking.  Fitbit's reminders to move encourage healthy behavior.  They are a reminder for some and a necessary nudge for others.  This Help article has the relevant section expanded for you with additional links to Fitbit's sources for these recommendations.

Of course, you can do anything you want to get up and move around.  But steps are counted by every device.  Steps are quantifiable for every user.  This is why Fitbit chose steps.
