What setting is best to track elliptical glider?

[paulinnes]

My Charge 3, what setting is best to track a workout for a elliptical glider? Mine doesn’t seem to track my workout.

I did a 9K workout last night, and it’s didn’t seem to register the workouts, it was I think shown as 1.2 miles, yet I had done 9K on the machine. Heart rate was working at about 121bpm.

Any though anyone?

Thanks.

It's great to see you around @paulinnes.

Regarding your inquiry, you can select "Elliptical" directly from your tracker. If you don't have this shortcut, you can add it by doing the following:

1. On your device, open the Exercise app.
2. Swipe through the list of exercises to find the one you want to customize.
3. Tap the gear icon, or swipe up on Charge 3, and swipe through the list of settings.
4. Tap a setting to adjust it.
5. When you're done, press the back button to return to the exercise screen.
6. Tap the exercise screen and then tap the play icon to start the workout.

Let me know the outcome.

where is the gear icon?  I want t add the elliptical to my list of exercise choices but can't figure out how to do it

Swiping up doesn't allow me to change an exercise.  I also don't see a gear.  My choices are run, bike, swim.  I would like to set up the elliptical also.

Hello @Cindi100120 and welcome to the Help forums.  This help article, How do I track my workouts on my Fitbit device? , has a section on how to customize the exercise shortcut list.   The directions given by the moderator are incorrect.  Charge 3 exercise shortcuts are customized in the Fitbit app, not on the device.

Elliptical is one of the exercises that is recognized by SmartTrack.  I prefer the Exercise app because I know I will get the correct start and stop times.

How can you do this on the charge 5?
