Improving the accuracy of horseback riding

[Windex]

I was happy to find horseback riding as an exercise type. However it could use a few tweaks to make it better.

- likely because of the similarities between the movement of a horse trot, to climbing stairs, the exercise tracker thought I climbed 47 flights of stairs for a 73 minute horse back ride. I am not sure if climbing stairs has a different caloric value, but if it does then it would really throw of my daily caloric burn.

- steps in general, my Fitbit thinks I took a ton more steps than I actually did. While at a trot it might make sense to count the steps since I do have to put some effort in, walking should not. Maybe a percentage adjustment would be a good way to more accurately track the time.

Thanks for your awesome product and continued support

Hello @Windex.

Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion. I am sure that other horse riders would support your post. Be sure to share it with other Fitbit users so that they can vote for it.

Let's keep an eye on what others have to say.

Hi!

My idea is slightly different; I’d like to add horseback riding to my exercise list in the app. I’m pretty sure it was there before but it seems to have disappeared. Now the app believes I’ve just been out running... 😞
