Where are exercise options "workout" and "elliptical" for Charge 3

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I am a loyal fitbit user from day one.  I use my Charge 2 to track my workouts and elliptical cardio sessions.  What happened to the "workout' and "elliptical" options for exercise tracking on the Charge 3.  I work with a trainer where we do strength, interval and cardio training so I need a broader category than weight or running.  I also have a back issue that only allows for elliptical workouts and that is no longer a choice for exercise tracking.  This is a significant step back from the Charge 2.  Is this going to be addressed or do I have to return my Charge3.  An answer would be greatly appreciated.

>From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the tracker tile. Tap Exercise
Shortcuts. To add a new shortcut, tap More Exercises and make your
selection. To remove a shortcut, press and hold an exercise, then drag to
the “Remove from tracker” area at the top of your screen. When you work
out, use the Fitbit to select elliptical exercise. It will then register
YOUR workout, not just the software predicted averages. Hope this helps

Thanks for reply. Yes I’ve added elliptical to shortcuts. But when I tap on track exercise it only shows walk, run, bike. If I tap on log then elliptical comes up along with all the shortcuts ..but I can only add how many minutes I’ve been on the elliptical. I can’t get it to track as I’m doing it.

As Hoppy65 noted:

 

"In the app click on the picture of the charge 3 scroll down until you see exercise shortcuts click on that. You will see 6 short cuts that's all that's allowed. Swipe one of them left to clear and a blue plus sign will appear in top right corner. Press that and you will see a list, press the elliptical to put a tick in box then at the bottom press add to charge 3.  Hope that helps "

 

I did this and it worked and once I synced it is now on my watch.
