How do folks log crossfit under active minutes?

My husband and I crossfit 4-6 times a week.  They're pretty intense workouts but don't register entirely on my Force.  For example - running a mile and a half along with a 30 min combination of thrusters and kettle bell swings registered as 18 min, basically the time I was actually running.  Thoughts?  Thanks!  Love my Force, just want to track everything as accurately as possible!  -Becky

I am interested in this topic as well. Just loaded my Force tonight and am curious as to how I will log it as an activity since Crossfit isn't recognized or an option on logging activities.

Hi there, I just got my fitbit today and am curious if you found an answer to this question? I also crossfit 4 - 5 times a week and want to know how to log it... tricky to guesstimate how many calories you would burn in a session..! Smiley Frustrated

Was looking for the same answer

For me, I have been selecting 'circuit training with aerobic movement, minumal rest' and double the time to help account for weights used & vigorius effort I put in -- Not the best option, but at least it will log more calorie burn then just when the flex picks up movement (i.e my 60min set only picked up 28 active min and I know I burned more calories the the 'steps' it recorded)

There are some individual exercises that you can log. Thru searching I've found push-up, sit-up, pull-up, and rowing. Good luck finding wallball, power clean or push jerk lol

I just got my Force this passed weekend and have wore it during 3 crossfit workouts and it barely logged anything if at all?? Very disappointed. After reading that it's a problem might have to send it back and do more research. I mean whats the point if it won't log my most active minutes of my day? i easily crush 10k-13k steps everyday. I have a job that has me constantly moving and moving heavy objects at times but it doesnt log any of that was very active minutes either. pretty disappointed to say the least at this point...
