Adding Custom Exercise Shortcut?

[SunsetRunner]

How can I add a custom exercise (barre class) to my Inspire HR?  I have it added to my dashboard online, but I'd really like to be able to manually track each class from my Fitbit.

Hi @SunsetRunner and welcome.

You can't add custom exercises to the tracker itself. The best you can do is add it to the web dashboard, as you've done.

That's too bad.  Thanks for responding!

@SunsetRunner   I am an iPhone user and I have the option to change the name of an exercise in the app after I am done.  If I use the Pilates exercise shortcut, I can do the following:  tap on the exercise to get the exercise details > there is a Categorize Exercise option > tap on that > enter Barre Class in the field.  I'm not sure if this option exists in the Android app.

Keep this in mind if you can't change the name of the exercise.  Fitbit uses heart rate based algorithms to calculate calorie burn.  I took an exercise from my app and changed the name of to three different exercises.  The calorie burn was the same.  It would not make a difference if Fitbit added Barre.  You will get exactly the same results if you use Pilates.
