Adjusting intensity of logged excercise

[Thannon8]

When I log excercise, such as P90X3's 30 minute yoga... it lists my day as having no active minutes. I beg to differ! LOL... I don't know how to let it know that those were "active minutes" when the steps don't look very high.... Anyone?

You can adjust active minutes by logging the activity. Go to "Active Minutes" click on "see more" and then go to bottom of page to search activites. Type in yoga, it will ask you to enter your start and end time and you will likely need to estimate calories burned.

Yes, I am logging the activity. Maybe I didn't explain my problem. So, it records that I did yoga, for example, but doesn't show it as "very active" minutes, because the fitbit itself doesn't calculate many steps during it. When I log an activity I can log duration and calories burned, but not intensity...

Try this expanation I posted in another area. Read this

This manually created graph proves you can create the different modes of activity/intensity. These are my levels for a BMR of 1,584.

I'm having the same problem. I did a 30-minute strength training video and sweat like a pig the entire 30 minutes. I logged the activity and an estimated calorie burn, but it doesn't register as active minutes. I read Hill Climber's "read this" post and still cannot figure out how to make the adjustment. I'm grateful for any help!

I have found that logging in my execise through "My Fitnes Pal" and having that pogram link to the FitBit has fixed this. I can log in the calorie count for the work.. so a lifting session might genertae 350 or so caloreis burned in 30 minutes but few steps. The Fitbit graph will then log that short line as bright green and my activity odemeter" on the dashboard registers 30 active minutes. I hope this helps!
