Manually Tracking Exercise
As mentioned above, your Fitbit Model FB407 automatically tracks several stats and exercises throughout
the day. Using the exercise mode feature, you can choose to track precise stats for a specific activity as
well.
Exercise mode works similar to the trip mode on a car’s odometer. For example, if you put your tracker in
exercise mode and use an elliptical machine, you can view stats measured for that exercise, such as heart
rate and calories burned. When you end exercise mode and sync your data, you’ll see an entry for a
“Workout” exercise on your dashboard.
The entry provides a summary of the activity's stats as well as a
minute-by-minute graph.
You should manually track exercises using the exercise tracking features on your Fitbit Model FB407
when if you want more detailed exercise data, including real-time stats and workout summaries, on your
Fitbit Model FB407.
