Tracking Exercise with Fitbit Blaze
Blaze will automatically detect many exercises and record them in your exercise
history using our SmartTrack™ feature. You can also tell your tracker when exercise
starts and stops if you want to see real-time stats and a workout summary right on
your wrist. All workouts appear in your exercise history for deeper analysis and
comparison.
Using SmartTrack
Our SmartTrack feature automatically recognizes and records select exercises to
ensure you get credit for your most active moments of the day. When you sync your
tracker after a SmartTrack-detected exercise, you can find several stats in your
exercise history including duration, calories burned, impact on your day, and more.
By default SmartTrack detects continuous movement at least 15 minutes in length.
You can increase the minimum duration or disable SmartTrack for one or more
exercise types.
For more information about customizing and using SmartTrack, see help.fitbit.com.
Using the Exercise menu
When you use the Exercise menu, Blaze can track your activity for a wide variety of
exercises including runs, weights, spinning, elliptical, golf, and many more. If you
want to use GPS to track an exercise, bring your phone along. Our connected GPS
feature works with your phone to map your routes. Note that connected GPS is
currently not available with the Fitbit app for Windows 10.
To track an exercise:
1. If you’re going to use connected GPS with an Android device, make sure
you’ve enabled call, text, or calendar notifications.
2. If you’re going to use connected GPS, make sure Bluetooth and GPS are both
enabled on your phone.
3. On your tracker, swipe to the Exercise screen and tap it, then swipe to find the
exercise of your choice.
If you see a gear icon in the lower left, that exercise offers connected GPS. Tap
the gear to see an option for turning GPS on or off. Press the Back (left)
button to return to your exercise.
4. Tap the exercise to select. You’ll see the Let’s Go! screen.
If you chose a connected-GPS exercise, you’ll see a phone icon in the top left.
