[Biv]

Which mode on Fitbit would be the best to record Aquafit excersise ? 😊

It's nice to see you around here @Biv! You can start tracking the activity by opening the Exercise app, then swipe left to find the exercise of your choice. If you want to track your Aquafit/Water Aerobics activity, I would suggest to select Workout. Tap the exercise to select it. Follow these steps to finish the exercise:

1. Tap Start to begin the exercise, or Set Goal to choose a time, distance, or calorie goal, depending on the activity.
2. Tap the middle of the screen to scroll through your real-time stats. On Charge 3, your progress toward your maximum heart rate is shown on an indicator next to your beats per minute.
3. When you're done with your workout or want to pause, press the button. Note that if you set an exercise goal, Charge 3 vibrates and flashes when you reach the goal.
4. To end the workout, press the button again and tap Finish. Swipe up to see your workout summary. Tap the check mark to close the summary screen.

I hope this resolves your inquiry, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Do you mean treadmill as I can’t find workout mode? 🙂

There is a workout mode, it's on your exercise shortcut set up. There is also an aqua jogging when you log exercise so you could maybe log it after as that?

You're very welcome @Biv! You have the Workout option, but if it's not showing up on your Charge 3 you'll need to manually add it. 

You can choose from over 15 exercise types—including run, interval workout, swim, and yoga, to customize the app with your favorite workouts. If a specific exercise isn’t available, choose workout as your exercise type. However, on the device itself you can select up to 6 exercises only.

Fitbit app:

1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon >  your device image.
2. Tap Exercise Shortcuts.
3. To add a new exercise shortcut, tap the + icon and select an exercise. 
4. To remove an exercise shortcut, swipe left on a shortcut (on Windows 10, tap the trashcan icon).
5. To reorder an exercise shortcut, press and hold a shortcut, then drag it up or down to change its position.
6. Sync your device.

Fitbit.com Dashboard:

1. Log in to your fitbit.com dashboard and click the gear icon in the top right corner. 
2. Click Settings > Devices. 
3. Scroll down to Exercise Shortcuts. 
4. Click Edit Exercise Shortcuts to choose the exercises you want on your device. Then click Save. 
5. Click and drag the Row Reorder icons to change the order of the exercises on your device. 
6. Sync your device.

Thanks for your help @rach05_123!

Hope this helps!

Hi, how do we add water aerobics as an exercise shortcut?
