Should I use my Sense when doing a Premium workout?

[SunsetRunner]

Hi,

New Sense owner here, I've activated my Premium trial and am exploring it currently.

My question is: when I start a Guided Program or Video Workout in the Premium section of the Fitbit app, do I also need to start a workout of the same, corresponding type on my Sense? Or is the idea that the Fitbit app will log all this for me automatically?

I hope I've articulated this question properly.

@SunsetRunner Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

When doing a Premium workout, make sure to play the video and wear your Fitbit Sense, at the end of the session, you'll be asked if you'd like to log it or not, once it has been logged, it will show the stats tracked by your Sense. 

Happy stepping!

Thanks @SilviaFitbit, so the answer to my question is I don't specifically need to also start a workout on my Sense? Is my understanding correct here?

Also does that also apply to audio only workouts?

Thanks,

Angus

@SunsetRunner No, you should not. Unfortunately the Fitbit app and the smartwatch are for this particular aspect not so well integrated.

In substance you should wear your watch  without activating any session while performing your exercise on the Fitbit app. 

When you terminate your session and sync your watch the HR measured should be combined with the activity just performed.
