I love my Fitbit and use it all the time for my group exercise classes. One class I love is Step Aerobics, and there is currently no exercise shortcut..it would be great to be able to track this workout
Hi @Spalmer98, and thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion about adding steps aerobics as exercise shortcut!

I personally use a stationary bike and a aerobic step. Unfortunately there are not any ways to track my workout simply because a stationary bike and step are not included. It is hard to enter it as a custom workout, not knowing how many calories I burned. It would also be nice to have calories as a voluntary entry.
Hi @Lucie87. Thanks for sharing this suggestion about including Step Aerobic as an exercise shortcut with us. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to keep the forums organized and make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote. About the stationary bike, you can select the Spinning option from the Exercise App. Don't forget to click on the thumbs-up to show your support and keep adding your suggestions!
I wholeheartedly agree that we need a shortcut for Step Aerobic. Currently, I use the shortcut "Workout" (four times per week) which is lacking and not representative of the actual exercise. This app would be greatly welcomed; the sooner the better. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
There is no exercise shortcut for ‘aerobic step’. It’s a shame because it’s one of my main forms of a workout and struggle to know what to categorise it under!

Thank for suggesting this….it’s been a while since this comment was added and still no Step Aerobics option. I just use the ‘workout’ option, but would prefer a step exercise shortcut
LIzzyFitbit keeps acknowledging that the request (noticeably, she refers to the request as an idea) for an aerobics shortcut has been noted without sharing additional detail. However, she keeps requesting to show support with a "thumbs up." How many thumbs up do they need!!!! Obviously, this is not a priority or up for consideration as this request has been made two years and counting. I also agree with an earlier post that the shortcut limit should be increased to at least 8. Waiting with bated for a real response!
I really, really wish you guys would add the step aerobics...Its a great cardio workout that so many of us would love to see...It's been 3 years since that original suggestion, please add the ability to add this workout!
Yes, please! Step aerobics is my main form of exercise and it would be really great to have it as an exercise shortcut! I’m surprised that a fitness tracking app doesn’t have “aerobics” or “dancing” as an exercise option.
I took would like to see step aerobics added. It does not seem to me that the aerobic selection accurately represents the level of activity. I do several different are bics routines and step always makes me sweat. 😅
