in Fitness and Exercise
HI there, I recently got a Fitbit and still trying to figure out it. My question is because it syncs it says I have already done exercise (went for a walk this am). Does this mean I do not need to report it on myfitnesspal. IN my exercise area it says fitbit adjustment, I don't want to report the exercise twice. Tried to post this in the tech area but it says I do not have permission to do so

    If you're walking or running you don't have to log it in MFP since FB does it well; if you're doing some other kind of cardio (cycling etc.) log that with the start time and duration since FB doesn't track those well and it will remove the FB adjustment for that time period in lieu of what you say the other cardio burn was.

    Nope. All of your step-based activity will come over from Fitbit, so you don't need to record it as exercise.

    I get a choice to pick a free fit bit one (Clip on) or fit bit flex (wrist band). I don't want a tan line on my wrist and leaning toward Clip model. Any feedback here?

    Thank you I was wondering the same thing. So if you are doing interval training or lifting weights you need to log that in mfp or just time duration on fitbit. Correct? sorry just wanting to make sure I understand correctly.

    only log your non step based exercises, and only log them on MFP. If you do an exercise that isn't actually step based but you get step credit for it (like my water aerobics class), make sure you log it into MFP and are accurate as to your starting time and duration. It will then override any step credits you get so you do not get double credit.

    I have the Flex because it is the only model that can be worn in water.
