Please add "Abs" category to the log. The day I went to the gym all I did was the treadmill and then worked on abs. When I went on the app to log, the abs category was not available. Thank you.
Some interest occurred in community posts regarding Fitbit devices to mmonitor or signal the onset of (or cardioversion from) atrial fibrilation (Afib). Obtaining graphs of heart rates monitored every 1 or 5 seconds is only a rough and untimely solution. A better solution would be for Fitbit developers to include firmaware to hold and sample sliding windows of data, take a measure of HR variance, and emit LED alerts or tones and/or graph markers for the interval-window whose variance exceeds a user-set threshold (or factory default). The option to nullify the alert and continue with variance sampling, or to accumulate a series of alerts (and see them all marked on a graph) would be extremely helpful. The start of repeated alerts would, with significant confidence, token the onset of Afib, since not only does a heart rate ramp up or down (if it is of a tachycardia or brachicardia variety) at onset, but more characteristically the heart rate itself is then uneven. Sometimes auto-cardioversion occurs, resetting to sinus rhythm (happened to me once when whitewater canoeing), and this would be signalled or confirmed by an end of the repeated alerts or flashing LED (as well as a vocal Yahoo ! ).
