Add more stats (not just cals) for interval workout

[nevynevster]

Hi
Your intervals features are very poor (there was a previous suggestion which you classified as existing feature which it is not!)
1. intervals require a warm up first - this is not possible to programme atm
2. intervals currently only track CALS - this is literally the most pointless measure. Please offer heart rate, pace or anything not cals

Hi @nevynevster. Thanks for sharing those ideas. We wanted to let you know that one of the ideas you recently posted already exists on the Feature Suggestions Board. You can see it here:

• Set Warm-up and Cool Down Time for Interval Training

You also had shared a unique suggestion, so we have retitled and relabelled your original post here to reflect that idea. Please try to make sure you only post one idea per suggestion, so we can keep the board organized, easily searchable, and see which idea other members are voting for. Thanks for participating in Feature Suggestions.

I don't understand why there are so little options for interval training.
I use Runkeeper for my interval trainings because fitbit just isn't good enough.
Kind of silly that I need to bring my iPhone while I have a tracker around my arm.
Come on!
Warming-up, cooling-down and the option to change distance and time. The possibility to configure each interval separately.

This option has been requested a lot from what I could find. 3 years ago already (https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Set-Warm-up-and-Cool-Down-Time-for-Interval-Trai...).

Warm up and cool down is part of any workout. Can you please give the option to set different times for different intervals. That's it.

At the moment one has to not track warm up and cool down or switch between apps. Not handy.

Same as above. we need this: 

The possibility to configure each interval separately would actually be sufficient.

Agreed. I think three things could be improved:

1. Set different interval times for different intervals or add a warmup: Interval training starts immediately with high impact interval, I need a warmup beforehand. Currently, I need to start "running" and then end that training and start an interval training. This could be avoided if I could set different times for different intervals.

2. Add metrics for different intervals in the app: The app shows only burnt calories per interval, which is of little interest to athletes. Please add heart rate, and/or pace.

3. Stronger vibrations or sound between intervals: I sometimes miss the vibration between the intervals and need to start looking at the watch while I try to sprint. Please add an option for stronger/longer vibrations or even sound.

Thank you!

Agree. As an older person (70) who is trying to stay fit, warm up and cool down is essential. My work-out is very broken up and I try to track this on my own, but I should be able to do it with the app. thank you.

People have been asking for this for 4 years. Add the feature already. Or stop the suggestion page if you do not care for customers feedback or improving your own devices.
