Old people need better choices

I wish I could tailor my charge 2 to my top 3 activities.  I bike in warmer weather and use a stationery bike in cold weather.  I hike in all weather.  This is different than walking.  some of my hiking is up mountains.  I can't run any more, so it annoys me that this is the only choice to map my hike.  Also, when it is using run, it overrides any other functions.  I don't have a period, so who cares about that?  I am 70 years old and very active.  I was doing weight training before the Covid crisis.

It sounds like you are starting exercise from phone app.  If you use the Exercise App right on the Charge 2, you have your choice of 20 activities, in whatever order you want.

For a video explaining it,

see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmMmg8sZjC8

 

Not sure if all the app menus in video are current; if not, can read about at

How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device? 

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

No It is on the fitbit itself, and there are not 20 choices.  Do you actually have a charge 2?  Mine only has the options shown on the video in the first link.  Also, as I have posted elsewhere, the mileage when I bike is cut by about half.  Yesterday i biked and did not set my fitbit at all, yet it registered outdoor bike automatically on my dashboard which is nice, but of course the mileage was far off.  I tried to edit the true mileage, but it would not let me.  Also, when I ride my bike it adds steps to the step count.  As I am trying to lose weight, calories in vs. calories out is incaccurate.
