Track Mindfulness as a shortcut on "Exercise App" from device

[busrij]

In addition to being able to manually log a mindfulness session, I want device shortcut (just like exercise) to start tracking a practice session, to record time and heart rate. I sometimes count it as yoga, just to get the readings, but then it does not go in the mindfulness section as far as days practiced, and distorts my exercise days.

On Fitbit Charge 5 (and other devices) could you please add Meditation?
This way you could track your meditation sessions both with times, and physiological effects such as pulse rate.

Would be amazing for this feature to track heart rate and HRV during a meditation. A competing product, Oura ring, does this and it's very helpful.

Consider adding "meditation" to the available exercises. I meditate daily and it shows as a period of inactivity. Or at least give the option to manually enter it into the app.
