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 notifications which bonds (connects) your Blaze to your mobile device. You don’t need to receive any notifications; simply enabling this feature completes the bonding process.

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.

The dots mean your tracker is looking for the GPS signal. When the phone icon turns bright and the tracker vibrates, you know GPS is connected.

5. Tap the screen’s Play icon or press the Select button (lower right) to begin tracking your exercise. A stopwatch appears showing your elapsed time. Tap or swipe up and down to scroll through your real-time stats or check the time of day.

6. When you’re done with your workout or want to pause, tap the pause icon or the Select button (lower right).

7. To see a summary of your results, tap the flag icon or press the Action button

(upper right).

8. Tap Done or press the Back (left) button to close the summary screen.

Syncing your tracker stores the workout in your exercise history. There you can find additional stats and see your route if you used connected GPS.

Receiving notifications and controlling music

You can receive notifications or control music during a workout. If you miss a notification and want to check it later, hold down the Select button (lower right) for three seconds.

To turn notifications on or off or to control music, hold down the Action button

(upper right) for three seconds. You can pause, resume, skip, or replay a track. To control volume from the music control screen, use the Action button (upper right) and Select button (lower right).
