I line dance for 2 hours each M,W,F, would the Spark Activity Tracker count my dancing?

Yes, although you may have to "reclassify" what the activity actually is. Sometimes you need to reclassify -sometimes it reads my elliptical or stationary bike as a "walking event" instead of elliptical or cycling, but that may have something to do with the action of my foot.

The tracker works in conjunction with the Sparkpeople website, which is free. I just walk, so I don't have any experience with dancing to answer your question. If you log into the free Sparkpeople website and send an email to their experts, they can help you. Good Luck!

It will count the steps and base the calories, etc on steps, but whether it counts it as workout minutes depends on whether you move for 10 minutes straight without stopping. I have yet to have it pick up any of my workouts as "workout minutes/calories" because I do not move constantly when I am working out. I will admit that I am rather disappointed with this particular feature. I workout at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week but because of knee issues, I use machines, so there are breaks between the exercises. Thus, my workouts never get recorded as such.

It is a Nike thing. Nike has come up with a standard to measure activity. I believe it probably takes into account the "Hours Won", the "Steps" taken, and "Calories" burned. It seems as the hours won increase or steps greatly increase, fuel is increased as well. It really doesn't take a lot of effort to ear more "Fuel". We like it because if you are next to your goal by say, 200 points, it causes you to have an attainable goal reached and met by simply not accepting that and getting up and exercising for maybe 5 minutes, or walking to the end of the block, etc. vs. laying down for the night and accepting a lost goal.

Sorry, I cannot tell. Walking is not a listed activity in the menu. But I am a slow runner, 10 minute mile and it tracks it find and I would go even slower. But I never tried to only walk.

Hello. It does track your steps but it will not track your sleep patterns at this time. I hope this answers your question.Kind Regards,~Team PAPAGO!

It does count your steps for a continuous 24 hours. I set mine so it resets all at midnight

Yes. You get a day's total of steps. It also records what it terms "ex time" which I guess they mean is the amount of time you exercise.

Don't buy it, it only tracks forward movement if it is attached 6 a shoe, parallel to the ground. I bought it, I sent it right back. Look into Fit Bit, Google the best tracker for what you want to do. Research, pays off.

It will record the last seven days and the total for the week, BUT my big issue is that if you go over 99,999 steps, it resets to ZERO. Even if your total would be less than 100K if you dropped the last day, you lose the whole week. I would just recommend journaling your progress. I use mine every day regardless, so I hope that helps.

As far as I know, it has lap time, overall time, transition time (triathlon), and I think it could give you time per activity (running, bike, swimming). What is that you want to measure?

You do not. But if you get an account (free) at fitbit's website you can keep track of your progress!

Try the SportCount Countdown model.... it is made specifically for PT. You can set the time for two minutes and do as many sets as you like.

I have free membership for purchasing another promo stuff from LifeSpan. In other words I don't know if Activity Tracker along will qualify you for this. But you can call them and ask.

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

I love my Spark Tracker...but that's because I utilize the Spark People site. I just did a quick search there, and found many articles about spinning (it's NOT what I thought it was, and now I want to try it!) However, the tracker is designed to track your foot movement when you walk, march, jog, etc. it does not really able to track revolutions of your leg...so I don't think it would record that activity well. HOWEVER; one of thing that the site does is allow you to log in your activity, the duration and intensity, and it is able to give you points that you use to track your activity for the day. I know that's a round about answer but fitness is multi-faceted. I love my Spark Tracker...but that's because I utilize the Spark People site.

No subscription required. Just register online for free to start tracking. It only tracks steps, so for even my elliptical, I have to enter the activity and time I spent doing it. I have mine synced with My Fitness Pal, and it works awesome for tracking activity and food intake. Love the fitbit, it makes me think more about being active.

I think if you attach the tracker to your shoe or sock, it will work best. I find that up higher doesn't count all the activity. The hip area might work also, depending on what kind of dancing it is. My suggestion is to try both and see which one works best for you and the specific activity. I LOVE my tracker!! I recommend it for whatever activity you plan on doing.

No. There is app you can download on your smartphone to figure out how many steps you have taken each day.
