Versa 2 didn't register my walking pole

[Killarneygirl]

First time using a walking pole and it never registered on my fit bit even a exercise .

I wouldn't  mind but it was my first hike and an achievement  for me .

So how do I rectify  this. I use only one pole if I put on the opposite  hand  would that work I wonder .

Thanks

Hi there, @Killarneygirl. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post. I understand where your concern is coming from. 

When a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer, we suggest to use "Workout". Once you finish the activity, you can rename the activity to "Pole waking/Nordic walking/etc". Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example, if you change from "Workout" to "Run", it won't remove the calories but will add distance as the main stat to be displayed, this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. However, your the data already tracked will be still counted for your daily totals.

For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

Hope this helps.
