Anyone know how to alter the Versa setting for this? My Blaze used to show calories burned in all settings eg. weights and yoga. I don't want the pace results - I don't move!! This surely is being investigated by FitBit as I don't really want to be editing all my exercises and deleting the real results every day!

I discovered this issue in 2015 when I got my first Charge tracker. To date, Fitbit has not corrected the problem with the tennis exercise option. Obviously no one on the Fitbit design and functionality team is a tennis player!! Unlike the activities of running and walking, in tennis pace is not a valid or useful stat. CALORIES BURNED is what I want to see! In fact, that's the only one of two valid and useful stats that count with me anyway. (The other might be distance.) Steps and pace are totally useless. 

 

My solution: Record your tennis session as a "workout" or simply "sport". In so doing, you will get your "calories" burned and time spent in each of the three levels of the workout, i.e., fat burn, cardio, and peak.  

ACTIVE MINUTES

To get your workout - whatever the nature of it - to show your active minutes, according to however the FitBit team designed it to record, you must sustain whatever your movementbis doing for a minimum of 10 minutes and you must be literally moving your feet while you're doing it. Another nit so useful stat.
