Weekly Time Subtotals for Exercise

The recent update added the number of days exercised during a given week but dropped the cumulative number of hours and minutes exercised during the week. Can you add the running total of hours and minutes exercised back to the bar at the beginning of each week as I find that more useful.

Hello, 

 

since the new app update, I am unable to see the hours / minutes worked out per week.  Instead, it is replaced with days worked out per week which is redundant information.  It's time consuming to go into each day and add hours and minutes.  Please bring it back - the information is already up top with the check marks checked per day you've worked out in a quick view - why remove a feature just to add redundancy.

 

Sincerly Frustrated!

Cumulative distance here would be helpful, too!

I totally agree with you Mark_b.

Total weekly time of exercising was a good progress indicator.

 

Also because most of us have larger screen now, a more condensed exercise list will be helpful - to see the last two weeks on the screen.

I absolutely agree. I love the new feature to set a weekly exercise goal, but wish there were a way to set the goal to number of hours verses number of days. Considering health recommendations are listed in minutes of activity per week, it only makes sense to be able to track that way.

I agree and posted about this in the support forum as I thought I just could not find it in the new app. Number of days is very easy to get from the calendar view. Number of minutes is FAR more useful and using Active Minutes is not a reasonable workaround.

Like so many others it seems, I was challenging myself each week to do more exercise and tracking this with the total exercise hours per week metric showed on the Fitbit app. The last update removed this, please please please add it asap.

Totally agree - it was probably the main thing I used my Fitbit for, it was certainly a big motivator, more so than other features.

Thanks for visiting the Feature Request board! Fitbit is always improving the Fitbit app, having the running total of hours and minutes exercised could totally help to stay motivated and keep doing an awesome job.
