Count.It tracks roughly 135 exercise types ranging from aerobics to Zumba. This activity list represents a "normalization" of the various different activity lists of the fitness tracking apps that sync to Count.It.
​
In creating the list, we've used the most standard names for different activities, and we've tried to find the most helpful level of resolution. For example, we use the single category of "biking" for all types of biking exercises. This is exactly consistent with Apple Health and Google Fit. Fitbit, however, allows users to specify "Mountain Biking" and "Air Biking," among other sub-categories. We leave it to the user to find the best fit for their activity on our manual logging forms. If the user logs a challenge activity on a connected app that is a "sub category" of one of our activities, we will map it to the most relevant activity on our list. So, in the example above, a user logging "Mountain Biking" would see it as "Biking" in their Count.It log.

The list at bottom is the core Count.It exercise activity list.

Walking is perhaps the most basic and popular of all exercises. Certain wearable devices will auto-detect walks, and prompt users to log them as exercise. Many users will simply accept this prompt, even if the walk in question is not really a "workout." This has become a widespread problem in our exercise challenges, as everyday "walking around" walks are being credited as exercise, drowning out real workouts, causing user frustration and concern!
​
It's important for users to NOT log walks as workouts, if they are not workouts!
​
At present, in our exercise-only challenges, we continue to allow users to log walking-related activities as workouts as there is no other way to credit that activity. In our "combination" challenges, however, in which users earn points for both their daily steps and exercise minutes, we credit walking activites based on their steps, and not based on their duration. Again, in any combination "steps-and-exercise" challenge, all walking and walking related activities will be credited based on the underlying step count, and not based on "exercise minutes."

The complete list is available in the activity selection menu when manually logging workouts. Note again: In combination steps-and-exercise challenges, walking related activities will not be credited based on their step count, and will appear in our list of exercises for the challenge.

Please note: At this time, this is a set list and Admin cannot create their own portfolio of exercises. This means, there is no option to pick and choose selected activities from this list - for the purposes of a general exercise challenge, a workout is a workout!
