My fitbit won't recognize my Heavy Bag workout as exercise

Any ideas as to why my Heavy Bag workout isn't recognized as exercise but mowing the lawn is? I hit the bag, hard workout for about 20 mins a day and the device just stays dormant (because you don't move your feel alot?) but if I mow the yard, it s recognizes that I just worked out.

Assuming you are trying to get this to work with Auto Recognize settings, correct? If so, what options do you have selected in Auto Recognized Exercises? I'm not sure what would work best for your workout type, but would suggest selected a few options and playing with the length of time it takes to recognize activity. Mowing the lawn would be easy for a tracker to pick up, because you are physically moving forward and my guess is for at least 20 minutes if not longer.
