Exercise Mode for Badminton ?

[nirmaljose]

Hi,

Its my first post in the forum.

I used to play "Badminton" on all possible morning. What Exercise mode do I need to set? And one more, While I ride bike, the fitbit surge correctly identifies it, is it possible to log the path with GPS?

I use MapMyWalk, MapMyRide, MapMyRun apps on my phone to track with GPS and that syncs to the FitBit HR.  Great combination.

Hi, I noticed last week when I played badminton that my surge had automatically tracked it as exercise, as it has an auto feature if notices you exercise for >15 minutes. Another option would be to go into the Exercise section and select Workout.

On my Surge the Bike option under Exercise shows a satellite transmitting icon in the lower left hand of the screen which indicates that GPS will be used to track your journey.

Hope that helps

Hello Responders,

Nice to see #Fitbit gave an update for #Bikers, after posting this thread.

I'll be using this features, for all my future rides.

If #FitBitDev team helps us to create our own custom exercise, it can go even go golbal.
