Please add Rebounding as a workout category

[philok]

Hey dear Fitbit team, 

I would like to suggest that 'Rebounding' should be added as a workout category. It is such an effective type of cardio and core workout that is done regularly by hundreds of thousands of people every day. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebound_exercise

Thank you!

Facebook Rebounding Rocks group would love that!

[Mountainbruin]

I use my rebounder everyday!!   Please add it to the options!

I agree- I would absolutely love the ability to add Rebounding as an exercise activity.   As other members have already stated, there has been a lot of research regarding effectiveness and health benefits of rebounding.  I follow a video routine 3 times a week and would love more effective tracking for it.

Voted and adding my voice - please add it to the list of exercises!

Please add rebounding or Kangoo jumps. I do not understand how such a forward fitness tracker company can be so behind current trends in fitness.

Rebounding is being on the top choices last 4 years. As many people who cannot run and still want to do cardio choose this way. 

How can other fitness trackers keep up to date and fit it is not. 

I can name a few of your competitors that have a way to track rebounding or kangoo workouts. 

Even when I use the simple workout my ionic cannot track accurately compare to other fitness trackers. 

Such a shame as I love my ionic for all the other fitness activities I do.

Please add rebounding .!!!! ..

Firstly it is a well recognized form of fitness ... especially in the rehab area .. correct monitoring of workout on rebounder provides great motivation to stick with it and progress under often difficult circumstances.

Secondly:   With many charity and fitness programmes, measurements of steps on a rebounder is allowed.   Having a device that can do this opens this up to more people.

As a trained physiotherapist, I have deferred buying a fit bit until this can be resolved for both myself and clients. 

In the meantime, does anybody in this forum have any info / success for step counting on the rebounder using an existing fitbit?  And if so, which model.

Thanks for any assistance.

Kind regards

Janet

Please do add rebounding.  My whole family has been bouncing for months during lockdowns.  This is a great complement to a running routine and would be greatly appreciated!

I would buy a Fitbit if I knew rebounding/trampoline workouts were a category. I have a samsung watch 3, but I’m thinking of changing because they don’t track my rebounding workouts well at all.

I am currently using workout to track my rebounder exercise. Please add rebounder.

I would also like to support rebounding as an exercise category. I’ve been a Fitbit user since 2011 and have been rebounding on my bellicon since 2013.  It would be terrific to have a better sense of calories burned and steps taken. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Rebounding is known worldwide - we have a rebounding group on Facebook with more than 2,600 members and still going strong - the rebounding category would be awesome!

Please can you add rebounding to your category! Need a better way to track my exercise. I've been with Fitbit for 5 years, I love how easy it is to use. I have recently started rebounding as its low impact but high intensity, but was extremely disappointed to see my fitbit couldn't log my exercise correctly and didn't have a category for rebounding. I dont really want to move away from fitbit but I have started looking for a fitness watch that will be able to track my rebounding workouts better

[KiminNM]

It won't let me vote, but yes, for the love of god, please add rebounding. People have been asking for this for years! 

[Zirach2002]

I wholeheartedly add my voice to those already requesting rebounding workout to be added! 

[T_Tanya]

please please add rebounder as exercise option. I just got my fitbit but now I am considering returning it because (besides walking) rebounding is the only form of exercise I do! This is so disappointing that I can't track my progress properly. 😕

[GIGI-STL]

YES. Please add. Mini trampoline rebounding

[Tripledox]

Yes! Please add rebounding/trampoline as an exercise category. 

[WilH]

@YojanaFitbit, were there enough votes for rebounding?

[Tmiufps]

Could you please please please add rebound and let us know if there were enough votes? 

[Tnoff]

@philok I can create this option as a third party app if you are still interested. I can make it happen only on a Versa 3 or Sense watch though. Not anything older if that is what you need the app on.
