Recumbent Bike

[DarrellAdams]

When I go to that gym one of the things that I do is the recumbent bike. I have been manually starting a "workout" activity on my Surge but should I be starting it under bike or spinning instead? Or should I keep doing it under "workout" and then categorize it under spinning or bike or even something else? I have searched for recumbent bike in the categorization list but it doesn't show up. Thanks.

Hi @DarrellAdams, welcome to our Community. Indeed, this exercise is not listed. This exercise is similar to spinning but the posture you maintain in the exercise is so different; so I don't believe the effort of your original exercise is going to be similar to spinning. Although this is just my personal opinion. When I'm doing an activity is not close to any of the default activities, I prefer to keep using Workout.

Other alternative is creating a custom activity when you are going to categorized your activity. For more information about this please take a look to this post I have shared with other user. I just changed one of my workout activities and create a custom activity to replicate your inquiry and it will look like this .

Hope this give you some help and let me know how it goes.
