Thank you for your message. I saw your early post about this, but, frankly, I didn’t quite understand it. For example, I’m not sure to what “Exercise Shortcuts” refers. Same with “turn on Connected GPS.” I don’t see anything on my FitBit app with those labels.
Nonetheless, what I have done is follow your advice to open an exercise event on the FitBit app. I do that by starting on the Today page of my dashboard, then tapping on box showing how many days I’ve exercised this week.
The next screen shows the previous days’ exercise events. I then tap on the stopwatch icon in the upper right corner of the screen. On the next screen, the GPS shows up and there’s a large red circle with an arrow in it, tapping on which starts the discrete exercise event. So, if I go for my power walk, this event records my pace, my route, splits and gives me the verbal cues at my splits.
After starting the discrete exercise event, I now also hold down the button on my ChargeHR until it vibrates. I never realized that, too, starts an exercise event. I thought that was just a stop watch/timer. This event also shows up on the list of daily exercises I mentioned above, giving my my heart rate throughout the exercise, average heart rate, percentage of time spent in the fat burn, cardio and peak heart rates, steps, and calories burned.
Following your advice, two discrete exercise events get recorded for the same exercise, each showing different data from that exercise. So, while I had trouble understanding your message at first, I think I found my way to your solution. Thank you!
