Elliptical setting on Versa

[Jennifer52]

I never seem to get many steps while on the elliptical and there is no specific exercise for it.  What is the best setting on my Fitbit while working out on an elliptical machine?

Hi @Jennifer52  Do you have a Versa or a Versa Lite? The answer is different for each

I have a versa 2 watch.  How can I program it for the elliptical so I get steps?

@Leeleenloulou - 

Whether steps will be counted I cannot say as I haven't been on an elliptical for years and the type of "stepping" involved were difficult to sense with the tracker I had at the time, just as stair climbers don't afford easy step detection.

However you can add "Elliptical" to the Versa 2 list of exercises.

• Tap the account button at the top left of the mobile app Today screen.
• Tap the Versa 2 tile on the Account screen.
• Scroll down and tap on "Exercise Shortcuts".
• Tap on "+ Exercise Shortcut"
• Select "Elliptical".
• Select Elliptical to fine tune "Lap" conditions.
• Tap on the "Today" icon on the bottom of the screen.
• Sync your device.
• Elliptical should now be on option in the Versa 2 exercise app.
•  

Good luck and welcome to the boards.
