I jumped rope today. The Fitbit recoreded 5 very active minutes. I checked on another site for calories burned. Fast jumping burns approximately 12 calories per minute.

Chele,

 

When you jump rope, do you manually log the excerise on the dashboard?  Or just go with what fitbit calls the active minutes?  I will be adding jump rope as of Jan 1 to my workour schedule and wondered the best way to log this.

I manually recorded the rope jumping. Before I did this, I noticed the very active minutes were recorded during that time. I don't think it was necessary for me to record it myself, but I wanted a personal record of what I did.
