Indoor cycling didn't show on my fitbit progress?

I did a indoor cycling class and when I went to look at the progress on my fitbit account it didn't show that I had cycled for an hour or burned the amount of calories I would have. Does anyone know what to do for this?

This is because your fitbit is baically a pedometer and is designed to track steps. It's not so good at tracking other activities like cycling. The good news is that you can manually log these activities and get good results. Here's how:

If your stationary bike has reciprocating handles like the Schwinn Airdynes, I found that attaching my fitbit to the handlebar with a rubberband works wonderfully.   I have a fitbit 'One', so it's very easy.  I just put the rubberband on the handlebar, and then clip the fitbit to the rubberband.

You'd have to experiment with the force or flex to find something that works.
