Inspire HR starting and stopping exercise

[RAS999]

Is Auto-Recognize the only way to track exercise.  I’m use to the Charge 2 where I physically press the side button at the beginning and end of my class.

Inspire HR also has the Exercise App.  Swipe down from home clock face to see Exercise screen. Tap it and then scroll up and down top see different activities.

For more on the Exercise app, see

How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device? which has specifics for each device.

If you have never swiped that way, continue past Exercise screen to see other included apps.

Ok, I see the different activities. Now what? Press the button in the side when I start, and press it again when I finish?

I'm not up on the specifics.  I expect the link I gave has it all.

At a quick look, I tapped on an exercise, the next screen is tap to start or swipe down, as indicated by the dots on the side, to set goals, and I think push button to start.

But best bet is read about it, or  at least just tap screens and push buttons to figure them out.

Thank you.  I've read all I can find.  I will keep searching, and trying. I didn't capture my Spin Class today because I didn't know what I was doing. Probably should have just left it alone and see if Auto would have captured it. I'm just use to pressing the button.

Myself, I probably would try a test run before counting on it to track an exercise class, but that's just me.

Under the link I gave in my first reply, there is a section called

How do I start a workout in the Exercise app?

Did you find that?

And in that section for Inspire HR is

• Inspire HR
  1. On your tracker, open the Exercise app.
  2. Swipe to find an exercise, and tap to choose it. If the exercise uses GPS, an icon appears at the top as your device tries to connect. 
  3. Tap the play icon to start the exercise, or swipe up to set a goal for time, distance, calories, depending on the activity.
  4. To pause or end your workout, press the button. To resume, tap the play button. 
  5. Press the button again and tap Finish to end the workout.
  6. Swipe up to see your workout summary.
  7. Press the button to close the summary screen.

Does that cover enough to get you started?

Thank you very much, I think I have finally figured it out.

My Inspire HR keeps (many times a day) starting activity modes, from the exercise menu, but that I didn’t actually select... the screen regularly responds inappropriately to my pushes (shuts off screen when I actually swiped up, etc.) and then acts like I’ve selected things when I’m not interacting with it at all...
