Yoga not registering active minutes

[Akitagirl]

I can’t seem to get yoga to register as an exercise on my charge hr 2. It will show up in my daily activity but won’t shown up in my active minutes. It’s the only exercise that doesn’t. Anyone else have this?

@Akitagirl  Here is a link to the Help article that describes active minutes more completely.

Active minutes are based on the concept of the MET -- the metabolic equivalent -- where 1 MET is you at rest.  Active minutes are awarded after 10 continuous minutes of a 3 MET activity.  Two examples of 3 MET activites are walking a little faster than 2.5 mph and a light effort stationary bike. 

If you are not getting active minutes, then I suspect that, in your case, you don't have a sustained increase in your heart rate and calorie burn to meet the criteria.

It's nice to see you around the forums @Akitagirl! My friend @LZeeW is right.   Keep in mind that your Fitbit tracker recognizes and awards active minutes when the activity you're doing is more strenuous than regular walking, which includes everything from a brisk walk to a cardio workout or run. The more calories you burn the higher your total active minutes. Your tracker will start recognizing active minutes for at least 10 minutes at a time, green spikes on your calorie graph typically indicate that you’re earning active minutes. More information can be found on this article about Active Minutes.

So I went to yoga this morning and I had 30 Ctive minutes.  When I entered the exercise into the log- the active minutes erased.
