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!

I think this has been added some time ago as Trampoline workout.

[MokiCat]

If so, how do we access it? I can find nothing about trampoline or
rebounding on my Charge 4.

[Zirach2002]

I wasn't able to add it as a preloaded workout to select on my watch but it
does allow me to select it via the Fitbit app when changing the category of
the workout that has been recorded.

Thank you for that. I have just been on the app and found it. That’s great! Thanks again 

[MokiCat]

I still can't find it. How did you get to it?

[salmc50]

Go into the exercise recorded for the day. Click on the exercise. At the top of the page it says categorise your exercise. Click on that and start to type in trampoline. It comes up if you click on trampoline it will change it for you. 👍

I don’t think it makes any difference though. It really needs to be an option before the workout. Should be able to be selected on your Fitbit as you can with run or walk to measure activity through out the workout. 

[MokiCat]

Thank you. It would be nice not to have to edit the exercise everytime. I
also realized that "rebounding" can be typed in too, but like you said, it
really doesn't matter, because it is not recording it as a rebounder
workout. I just use "workout" but always wonder how accurate it is since
rebounding is such a good exercise.

Rebounding on fitbit would be so helpful. Thanks for considering this suggestion. 

[Stardust88]

Please add rebounder workouts as an option.

Agreed related to adding Rebounding as an exercise option. I feel like it confuses my resting heart rate calculations since I started bouncing again. What do people use for the exercise category currently in substitution? 

[Mixv85]

Yes!! Please add rebounding to your excercise options. As far as I know you would be the first fitness tracker to have aerobics as an option.  Rebounding is growing worldwide in popularity. I am one of many thousands who rebound daily and I'd love to track it with my FitBit

[4Kimberly]

Yes yes yes! Please add rebounding to your Sense Fitbit. I’m a rebounder and will be looking for a device that has this option. Please add!!

[Epheezy]

Yes rebounding should be added. Has there been an update on this subject recently? 

[T_Tanya]

Not to my knowledge 😞

Still waiting on some news that they have added rebounding to Fitbit. It is becoming much more popular lately and it’s so much fun.

[Lola555]

Yes, please add rebounding. Effective for  cardio, strength and many other benefits. Really enjoying this form of exercise

[RinafromSA]

Please add rebound as exercise on Fitbit. It is an overall exercise!!!

[BK-T]

I'd be grateful to be able to choose Rebounding (er), in the exercise options.

[SunsetRunner]

🤩 I just read this Fitbit suggestion as I just completed putting together my new rebounder I purchased online. (My old old lasted 8 years) Great suggestion @BK-T! Happy Jumping!

Thank you @YojanaFitbit and @SunsetRunner!
Rebounding is such a great exercise for all ages. I'm excited that it is growing in popularity, especially with the data-driven exercisers like myself.

[4Kimberly]

Thank you! Rebounding is my primary source of cardiovascular exercise. As of current, my Fitbit is of no use to me in regards to my fitness regimen. Rebounding is a fast growing and fun form of exercise, even the elderly who are able utilize it do it as a source of activity. 😊
