How do I add shoveling snow and aqua fit on the list of exercises?

[KJN6788]

I would like to add specific types of exercise that are not listed in the app. Examples are shovelling snow and Aquafit.

Hi @KJN6788 unfortunately you can't add the activities you suggest as they are not listed. What you can do is track the activities as a workout and then change the name later.

Hi there, @KJN6788. Thanks for stopping by in the Community Forums. 

All the exercise shortcuts that you will find in the Exercise section are specifically designed to track the most out of each type of activity. The algorithms have been fine tuned to get more accurate data for each different exercise so that's the reason why there is a category for each.

As @NellyG has mentioned, 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 Fitbit device. 

Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

Hope this helps.
