Add interval timer in Fitbit Luxe

[Loumy]

Suggestion for the Luxe:

Add a basic interval timer (with appropriate vibration signals).

An interval timer is useful for different types of training, and also for kegel/pelvic floor exercises, that so many women need to do. 

I love my Luxe

Thanks

Hi there, @Loumy. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post, I understand how important is to you to have Interval timer on your Fitbit Luxe. 

Please note that on Fitbit Luxe you can adjust the move and rest intervals used during interval training. 

To customize the settings for each exercise type on your tracker:

1. Swipe to the Exercise app, then swipe up to find an exercise.
2. Tap the exercise to choose it.
3. Swipe up through the exercise settings. Tap a setting to adjust it.
4. When you're done, swipe down until you see the play icon.

To customize certain exercise settings and change or reorder Exercise app shortcuts in the Fitbit app:

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Luxe tile.
2. Tap Exercise Shortcuts.

     - To add a new exercise shortcut, tap the + icon and select an exercise.
     - To remove an exercise shortcut, swipe left on a shortcut.
     - To reorder an exercise shortcut, tap Edit (iPhones only), and press and hold the menu icon , then drag it up or down.
     - To customize an exercise setting, tap an exercise and adjust your settings.

You can have up to 6 exercise shortcuts on Luxe.

For more information, see page 35-36 of the Fitbit Luxe User Manual or you can see How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device? 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply Maria.

I need to do 8 seconds intervals for kegels (pelvic floor exercises). Which unfortunately is not possible in the current Exercise app. 

However, it is good to know that an interval timer actually exists inside the Exercise app.

I would suggest adding Pelvic Floor Exercises to the Exercise app. Or simply add seconds as an option inside the Exercise settings. 

Considering, the typical Luxe customer, and the importance of pelvic floor exercises, for women, it would be an awesome feature.

Thanks

@Loumy Anytime! 

When a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer, we suggest to use "Workout" (which is a generic catch-all for other types of exercise). Once you finish the activity, you can rename the activity to desired exercise/activity. Please note that the amount of calories burned vary from the exercise you're performing and due to the heart rate tracked by your Luxe.

Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example, if you change from "Workout" to "Run", it won't remove the calories but will add distance as the main stat to be displayed, this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. However, your the data already tracked will be still counted for your daily totals.

For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

Thanks for your suggestion, though. We're constantly striving to improve Fitbit products and services, and we appreciate all of the input we receive from our customers. The best place to make your voice heard is the Feature Suggestion board on our community.
