Same calories burned for every workout

[KeliC]

I manually log my barre class since it is low impact and doesn’t always register as exercise.  However, it shows the same number of calories burned  every time regardless of if I was in “the zone” 25% of the time or 55% of the time. Clearly, it is not tracking my efforts just giving me a preassigned amount of calories for “barre class.”  I wish there was a way to get an accurate count. 😞

When you manually log a workout after-the-fact, whatever you input for parameters overrides whatever data was actually recorded, such as heart rate or step count.  It is as if Fitbit figures the reason you are logging the activity is because you were not actually wearing the tracker during the workout.  The way to get accurate data is to use the Exercise App on the Fitbit, telling it when you start and stop, and telling it what the workout type is.  Then it will use the data it records, and you will not have to log anything later on.

This is very helpful.  Thank you!
