Exercise Shortcuts

Is there a way to add jump roping to the exercise shortcuts on the watch? Thanks

Hi, @SolusUmbra , you cannot add “jumping rope” directly; however there is a very simple workaround, and you use the built in shortcut “workout” for this.

Track your jumping using workout.  When you have finished sync your Fitbit.  You will find it on your exercise list as “workout”.  Then all you have to do is change it in the app using the built in database activity “jumping rope”

Click on the workout activity to see the stats for that activity (heartrate, calories, etc.).  On iOS click on “Categorize exercise” at the top. In the box labelled “search for exercise type” start typing in jum... The activity “jumping rope” will appear.  Simply choose “jumping rope” and job done.

In Android it is similar.  Click on the pencil (edit) icon, and where you see the word “workout” start typing “jumping rope”, it will appear below.  Select it and the box will change.  Then just click on “log it” and job done.  

It only takes a few seconds.

How do you add exercises that are not in the categorised list? It is very frustrating that I am unable limited in choosing my exercise shortcut and the exercise like body pump, Soca, LBT, Body balance are also not in the categorised  list.
