Tracking Exercise with the Fitbit Surge
Intro. Modal; clicking Home button when in run just “shakes” the display, even if paused.
Your Fitbit Surge lets you track stats for a wide variety of exercise types, including Stairclimbing, Hiking,
Yoga, Cycling, and many others. You can also track an exercise type named “Workout” if the particular
exercise you want to track is not available. Workout always on the watch, and you can add 6 others
<<Confirm adding 6 or 7 with Christine Brumback –brs>>
The stats that are tracked vary depending on the type of exercise. For example, the Cycling tracks several
stats including some related to distance, max speed and average speed, while Spinning tracks only your
average BPM and total calories expended.
In addition, GPS is enabled for certain exercise types, such as Hiking and Cycling.
You can have one to seven exercise types available on your Surge at any time. Your exercise stats are
displayed on the Activities tab in your Fitbit.com log. <<Confirm wording/terminology with other docs –
