How to track Step Aerobics with my Versa?

[Spalmer98]

I love my Versa and the capability to track my exercise.  I love to take group classes, my favorite is Step Aerobics, I usually just choose “Workout” from the exercise and was wondering what others use or is there a way to add Step Aerobics to my exercise

Hi @Spalmer98. Welcome! It's good that the community is growing! I'm sorry for the delay.

I'm glad that you love your Versa as much as you love taking group classes! Thanks for sharing what option you're using to track your Step Aerobics and I'm sure others will stop by to share their experience while working out with their watches.

As a side note, you can submit your idea about adding Step Aerobics as an exercise shortcut in the Feature Suggestions board, so other members of the Community can comment and vote for it. This is the best way to make your voice heard and I have no doubt that others will like this idea.

See you around.

I use workout as well. It is weird that step and also kayaking are not available choices.

Hi @fired_earth. It's great to see you around the forums.

For this reason, please share your idea in the Feature Suggestions board or add your vote to existing suggestions so our developers can track these requests over time and take them into consideration for new updates or product development.

@Spalmer98 , @fired_earth and @LizzyFitbit - I find it interesting that you can recategorize a "workout" to "aerobic workout" or "kayaking" but cannot start an "aerobic workout" or "kayaking".

Hi @MrMarv. It's nice to see you here in the forums.

Let me clarify that when categorizing your exercise, they options that you'll see are from the Fitbit database for manually log exercises. However, these are different from the exercise shortcuts that were implemented on some Fitbit devices, such as the Versa family. This is the reason why you might see some options. I understand how much you'd like to see more options on the Exercise app, that's why I'd encourage you to share your ideas in the Feature Suggestions board so our developers can take them into consideration for new updates or product development.

See you around.
