Exercise tracking color code

[NicToong]

Hey guys... 

i need a little help to understand better on the exercise tracking color code - yellow (fat burn), orange (cardio) and red (peak). 

how do fitbit track them?

and what is the meaning of "peak" in that exercise tracking?

thank you.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @NicToong! It's great to have you here. When you mention the exercise tracking color code are you referring to the Heart Rate Zones?  If you are you can find a definition for each one on this help article. If this is what you are referring to, they are recorded by your tracker using the PurePulse LED lights. 

Hope this helps!

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I don't really know if it's call heart rate Zone. But I seriously doubt so. In iOS Fitbit app, heart rate zone is seen under the heart shape icon not the exercise icon. I maybe wrong. Hope someone from Fitbit could advise!

Hello @NicToong I was reviewing my exercise on the iOS app and noticed that the only mention of peak, cardio or fat burn is related to the heart rate reading. As you can see on the next image: 

Is this what you are referring to? If not please post a screenshot of what you are seeing so I can assist you. 

Happy stepping!

Thank u all for the replies!
Angela - yes, it's the right one.
How does Fitbit track and decide "peak", "cardio" or "fat burn"? Btw, I'm using Charge HR.

Once again, thank u all for the advice in advice...

Angela pointed you to the resource to answer your question earlier in this thread:

• https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/Heart-rate-FAQs

To summarize, your maximum heart rate is calculated and then the various zones are ranges of your current heart rate compared to your calculated maximum.  That said, the calculation is often wrong, and can sometimes be not only wrong, but very wrong.

Does that orange tag indicate your max heart rate during that specific workout?

Thank you for answering the question rather than just including a link that didn't really take us to the answer to his question.
