I have a Fitbit charge HR. I wear it on walks, runs, and throughout the day. But I heard I'm supposed to take it off when I do ab workouts and weights. Is this true?

    I have a Fitbit One, and I wear it all the time except the shower! Sometimes I'm surprised by how many steps I actually do when I'm just puttering around the house tidying up or doing laundry!

    I wear mine all the time except the shower or swimming. Depending on how you workout, it may credit you with a few steps you don't take, but it's important to track your workout burn and that only happens if you're wearing it.

    I wear mine 24/7 except when showering, soaking in the hot tub, charging it, and <ahem> certain other activities where it would be distracting.

    Go ahead and wear it when doing things like ab workouts and weights, unless it gets in the way. However, you will probably still want to log those workouts manually in Fitbit because your tracker (even with the HR monitor) can't really measure your calorie burn accurately for those sorts of workouts.
