Hi @Habashee, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to add Roller Blading or Skating/Ice skating as exercise. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". We really appreciate your feedback. I hope to see you around.

This option has been “ under consideration “ for over 5 years.
Ridiculous! Just add it. Rollerblading is a very common form of
exercise. It should have been included at the very beginning.--

I would like to be able to select rollerblading on my Versa 3 but it's not an option. I see you can add items manually but would prefer it to be a listed activity. I would assume it's fairly popular still even though it's not as popular as it once was.

How do I vote for this to be worked on. Want ice skating added could work for roller blading. Ice skating. Skateboarding (and even cross country skiing maybe but that requires more arm movement)

Sorry. Would work for roller skating too! Wouldn't let me edit my last post. Seems like that is another feature needed by fitbit!

Same thing.... I would love skating and skiing to be added but I cannot click on the thumb up

Yep it wouldn't let me click the thumbs up button either! Seems like fitbit needs a few new things implemented!

Downhill and cross country skiing need to be added!

I thought it was because my account on this forum is brand new but I guess it is not the problem.... no clue what the problem is though 😞

Me either! I hope fitbit can answer and resolve all these issues!

It would be very nice to have ice and inline skating as exercise choices.

I have a Versa and recently purchased new roller blades since I’ve had hip pain whilst running.   Would it be possibly to have Roller Blading/Skating added as an exercise so it can be tracked accurately.  It seems to have been requested for years but nothing done.  Can it now, Fitbit?   TIA 🙂

I haven’t heard back from Fitbit but you can change the category of exercise to roller skating or inline skating
First you have to create category called roller skating [Image.jpeg]

Thank you. How do you create a category?

In your app front page
Scroll down to track your exercise
You Fitbit tracks your exercise automatically
When you do something it records it
You go into one of them in your history like yesterday and you can change it in there
Change the category search for roller skating or inline skateing

I only have a very limited list of activities... did you do anything to have roller skating in the list?

Habashee

Did you search for the category at the top?
When you select categorise does it provide you search option at the top?

When I click on "select a category" from an activity I did select previously, I have (the words may not be exactly the same as they are in French in my app) Bike, Golf, Hiking, Various exercices, Jogging, Walking ... that's it ... but if I go from an automatically detected activity, I have a search field but nothing appears under...

In the “search” you can’t search for roller skating or inline skating ?

No ... maybe I should delete and reinstall the app
