Auto Detect / How to Log Exercise

[Deborah58]

I have my Fitbit app set to auto detect exercise and it's not working properly. How can I log a specific exercise such as rowing? Also, is there a way to edit exercise entries?

Sometimes its better to use the exercise mode to make sure you capture the exercise.

You can have up to 7 exercise shortcuts. On your dashboard click on the gear and choose settings. Look for exercise shortcuts. Change to what you want. Make one of these Workout.

Device will need to sync before it takes place.

I use Workout mode to capture any exercise that is not listed.

Then I rename it as I state below

Then on the computer dashboard make a custom exercise. This will be at the bottom of the exercise tab Name it what you want.

Then on your device push in the button until you get to the exercise screen. Once there Swipe through until you see the Exercise or use Workout mode Hold in the button to start and when done Hold it back in to stop it.

Once it syncs you can rename it to the custom one you set up.
