How do I track an exercise on a gravity walker/air strider with my Luxe?

[DancingBarber]

Hi all, I exercise on a gravity walker/ air strider. What workout shortcut should I use? Treadmill or walk?

Hi there, @DancingBarber. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

I'd say neither of treadmill or walk as both activities are very different from a gravity walker/air strider. Please note that 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 "Walk", 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?

Hope this helps.

@DancingBarber   The thing that differentiates an air strider from an elliptical is that your legs move in an arc on the strider and in an ellipse on the elliptical.  This is not a big difference.  For that reason, I would choose the elliptical shortcut.  Sometimes Workout is the best available option, given Fitbit's inherent tracking limitations, but steps aren't a real time stat in the Workout shortcut.  You won't be able to monitor your "steps" on the Luxe during your workout.
