More details about Water exercises

[SunsetRunner]

We need a program to record water aerobics.  Presently we must tailor another exercise program, but there is no tracker for calories burned, step adjustment, etc. Tailoring “Walk” gives a step counter and time, but no way to adjust stride. SOLUTION: step length, step counter, then 4-5 resistance or intensity levels, length of time at each level, or average intensity. Incorporate arm activity in intensity. 

Presently I have no reason to upgrade to Versa.  Perhaps this could be a separate waterproof device that syncs to dashboard.

Please make the step/activity reminders available to be active for those of us that work the night shift.  Also, add Water Aerobics to the exercise list.  Thank you

The suggestion/request  has existed since 2016 and yet Fitbit hasn’t added this yet.  WHY?  Poor customer service and very bad for future sales if you ask me, the customer.  Get with the program already Fitbit!

I vote for water aerobics to be added to the exercise list.  The older generation is staying fit too with low impact exercises.  Those of us that have joint problems need & benefit from water aerobics 

[PatStubbs]

Great idea, the capabilities are already part of fitbit since they track outside of the water all aerobics. I hope that fitbit begins to hear it's users! I vote yes,

Additionally, I would like to see water walking added under water exercise.

another vote to add Water aerobics to the Exercise options on Sense please.  So annoying having to do it separately on phone.

I can only do aqua aerobics due to my arthritis in my knees. the fitbit is almost usless to be beucase it does not add teh five times a week what i do this exercise. Adding water or aqua aerobics would prove fitbit wants to reach older or disabled community. Don't we have a deisre for health too???

I too would love to see water aerobics added. I’ve been using my Fitbit since 2019, and I always need to manually add my water aerobic classes, 3-5 times a week. Why do I bother wearing my Fitbit, not really sure. Water Aerobics is an option to manually log but it would be so much better if it was an option on the device.

Water aerobics and aquatics are available on apple watches and should be on Versa.  The high intensity workout does not measure/give proper readings under workout or intervals nor can you use swimming since you are not doing laps.

How do we vote? I tried using an apple watch and it has water exercise. That is the only thing I liked about the Apple Watch. Would prefer to use a Fitbit but over half my exercise is in the pool but not swimming. It really should be an option.

Edit - this should be an option on the charge 5 which is what I use.
