Hula Hooping as an activity

It would be nice to have hooping, both weighted and un-weighted as an activity that could be logged.

I'm sure there are many more out there that hoop

Hi jab1

 

If you scroll back a page you will see that an app developer, Tnoff, has developed this for us and I've downloaded and tested and it works really well.

 

I was worried that nobody would see his work on page 4 of 5 years of comments and this has proved my concerns true .. but scroll back and you should be able to download too 🙂

I'm new to fitbit, how do I add the app developed by @Tnoff ?? I have the new Fitbit Luxe....

The Fitbit Luxe does not support third party apps. You can't get my app on it. It is only available on the versa 3 and sense watches. Sorry!

I would like to see hulahooping as an exercise category on the fitbit app.

I was wondering if you could add an app for those of us in wheelchairs? I do exercises from a sitting position (would be another good app for the diabled) but I would love to track my wheelchair movement with my arms. I am a disabled Vet and I do laps on an inside track on Base. Thank You!

@Signittome I would be willing to do this for you, it would take some time and I'm assuming you would want distance traveled along with calories and other stats? It will be paid if thats ok? I was thinking $1.00

I am excited to use this hula hoop app for Fitbit. I'd been searching for a Fitbit hula hoop counter app for a couple of years. I hoop a lot and often lol. I am curious "why" the listed permissions are required for the app to function. I admit, I know very lil about apps and tech stuff. Thanks for creating the app!

Hello!

I am glad that you can use my app. The permissions that the app requires are all for specific uses. The activity permission allows the app to record your exercise.

 

The group storage permission is required by the payment service to check your other purchases in attempt to give you discounts. 

 

The create exercise permission also allows the app to log exercises. 

 

The heart rate permission allows the app to read and display your heart rate. 

 

And finally, the internet permission is required to connect the app to the payment service. 

 

If you have any more questions feel free to ask me here or email me at thaddeusemails@gmail.com

Hi, I got Verse 3 and downloaded the app. How do I pay and also use it?

Hello! Please open the app on your watch. It will come up with a code after
a few seconds. Go to kzl.io to enter that code and complete the purchase.
Contact me with any more questions!

Adding the hooping exercise to tracking/logging capabilities. It would also be nice to have a weighted/smart hooping as well as a standard non-weighted option.

It definitely would be great to have hula hopping, weighted hoop and infinity hoop added as a workout option. There is a lot more workouts that can be added besides that.
