How do you track it properly?

Welcome to the forums!

I manually log it. My Bike gives me all the details and thats what I log

Hope to see you around!

@Fit4mee   If you have a Fitbit with the Exercise app, then the Spinning choice in the Exercise Shortcuts is a much less cumbersome method than logging all the details manually.

What model Fitbit do you use?

@Fit4mee   The Charge 2 calls the exercise feature the multi-sport mode.  This Help article has information on how to customize your exercises.  You want to add Spinning to your list of Exercise Shortcuts.

A Stationary Bike is a lot different than a spinning bike. I would never use spinning for mine as I'm not going as  fast as you do on a spinning bike.

You could use bike mode. But it will not count  any steps when in that mode. So  if you care about steps I would not use it

My understanding of spinning is when the legs are spinning the pedals and the bike stays stationary. 

If I go by this definition then a stationary bike fits the definition of spinning and calories are based on time and heart rate.
