I went for a bike ride yesterday and set my Charge 3 to start just choosing workout as the exercise as I don’t have outdoor cycling set up on my device. When I finished I edited the exercise but the distance calculated was incorrect and I am unable to save the change?? Any advice would be great. Thank you

@Sarahjank   I'm sorry, but you are going to have to chalk this one up as a little step on the learning curve of using the Exercise app.  The outdoor bike needs connected GPS to measure the distance.  Workout isn't GPS connected at all and can only gives you a steps x stride length distance.  There is such a fundamental difference in how those two shortcuts work that you can't correct it.

 

This will help: How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device?   If I remember correctly, bike is one of the default shortcuts.  If you removed it from your shortcut list, there is a section on putting it back and personalizing your exercise shortcut list.
