Can't log my workouts in

[Mishventurer]

The workout log section is really annoying because you need to search for keywords. I'm trying to log in my Les Mils body combat, Body Pump and Muay Thai classes but there isn't anything with those keywords. Why can't I create a custom workout?

Hi, @Mishventurer, you can create a custom workout, but you will need to create it in your web-based dashboard.  Go to log --> activity and scroll to the bottom.  Once you have created an activity there, it will be available to you on your app and you will be able to "categorize" your activity.

Any questions, just post again.

Thanks for your reply. It's too tedious for me to log into the web just to do that. 

Anyways I've found a better solution. Connect the Fitbit app to MyFitnessPal and log in all the workouts and meals there. It would then update properly into the Fitbit app. It's quite tedious but not as tedious as logging into the web.

Hi, @Mishventurer, I am sorry you find it so tedious to log into the web.  Actually, there is a link to the web at the top of every page in the Community, and since you are logged in here it will simply take you to your page.  Takes about 30 seconds then to add a custom activity -- and you only need to do that once.  After that the activities are on your app.

But I am glad you found a solution to your problem.

Hey Julia - I am aware I can access it easily from the top. However, adding a custom activity doesn't allow me to add calories burned - which usually Les Mils programs have an estimate already. 

Whereas as in MyFitnessPal app, there is that option and it's much quicker to add since it is searchable. That's literally a 10 second job.

Yes, that's true.  You can add calories if you use the web dashboard, but not via the app.

Anyway, I am glad y u have found your solution!

Hi Julia. I forgot to log my workout on my Charge 2 and wanted to add it on my dashboard but I don't see the option as you describe it. To log an exercise I click the plus sign which opens a Search window (nothing to scroll down). Can you help please? Thank you
