How do I edit exercises on my Fitbit versa 2?

To edit exercises tracked by your Fitbit Versa 2, you'll primarily use the Fitbit app on your smartphone. The app provides a straightforward interface to modify or remove any recorded activity, ensuring your fitness log is accurate.

Navigating to Your Exercise Log

Accessing your recorded workouts is the first step, allowing you to view and then modify individual entries.

• Open the Fitbit App: Launch the Fitbit app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure you're logged into your account.
• Go to the Today Tab: This is usually the main dashboard you see upon opening the app, displaying your daily stats.
• Tap the Exercise days Tile: Look for a tile or section that summarizes your activity or exercise. It might show your exercise streak or a general overview of your workouts. Tapping this tile will take you to a detailed list of your logged exercises.
• Select the Specific Exercise: From the list, tap on the particular exercise entry you wish to edit or delete.

How to Edit a Logged Exercise

Once you've selected an exercise, you can modify various details to correct any inaccuracies.

1. Access Edit Options: After tapping on the exercise you want to adjust, you'll typically see a summary screen for that activity. Look for an Edit button or a pencil icon (often located at the top right corner of the screen). Tap this to enter edit mode.
2. Adjust Exercise Details: You can then modify several aspects of your workout:
   • Activity Type: Change the activity from, for example, "Walk" to "Run," "Hike," "Yoga," or any other relevant activity.
   • Start Time and Duration: Correct the exact time your exercise began and how long it lasted.
   • Distance: If your Versa 2 or GPS didn't accurately record the distance, you can manually input the correct value.
   • Calories Burned: While often automatically calculated, some exercises might allow for manual adjustment of calorie expenditure.
   • Other Metrics: Depending on the activity, you might be able to edit average pace, elevation gain, or other relevant data points.
3. Save Your Changes: After making all necessary adjustments, tap the Save button (or checkmark icon) to confirm and apply your edits.

Common Editable Fields

The following table summarizes the most frequently edited fields for exercises:

Field	Description
Activity Type	Change the classification (e.g., Run, Walk, Bike, Swim, Weights).
Start Time	Adjust the time your activity began.
Duration	Correct the total length of your workout.
Distance	Manually input or refine the distance covered (e.g., for runs or walks).
Calories Burned	Override the estimated calories, if applicable.

How to Delete a Logged Exercise

If an exercise was logged incorrectly, duplicated, or you simply wish to remove it from your history, deleting it is straightforward.

1. Navigate to the Exercise: Follow the steps outlined above:
   • Open the Fitbit app.
   • Go to the Today tab.
   • Tap the Exercise days tile.
   • Tap the specific exercise you want to remove.
2. Initiate Deletion: On the exercise summary screen, look for a trash icon or a three-dots icon (...) (usually in the top right corner). Tapping the three dots will likely reveal an option like Delete Exercise.
3. Confirm Deletion: The app will usually ask you to confirm if you want to delete the exercise. Confirm your choice to permanently remove it from your log.

Why You Might Edit or Delete an Exercise

Understanding the common reasons for modifying exercise logs can help you manage your fitness data more effectively:

• Incorrect Activity Categorization: You may have forgotten to change the activity type on your Versa 2, or it misidentified an activity (e.g., logged a bike ride as a run).
• Inaccurate Tracking: GPS errors or accidental pauses might lead to incorrect duration or distance readings.
• Duplicate Entries: Sometimes, an exercise might be logged twice, either by the device or manually.
• Forgotten to Track: You might have done an activity without wearing your Versa 2 or forgetting to start tracking. While you can't edit a non-existent log, you can manually log a new exercise in the app to compensate.
• Privacy or Data Cleanup: You might simply wish to remove certain entries from your historical data.

Manually Logging an Exercise

If you completely forgot to track an activity with your Versa 2 but still want it recorded, you can manually add it to the Fitbit app:

1. From the Today tab, tap the + icon (or similar option) to log a new activity.
2. Select Track Exercise or Log.
3. Choose the activity type, input the start time, duration, and any other relevant details like distance or calories.
4. Save the entry. This manually added exercise will then appear in your log alongside those tracked by your Versa 2.

By utilizing these features within the Fitbit app, you can ensure your fitness journey is accurately reflected, helping you better track your progress towards your health goals.
