Strength activities

How do you record strength activities or lifting weights? I see my Garmin recording walks and runs but how does it record strength activities?

If your watch doesn't have a strength profile you will have to log it as another type and then after save and sync you change the type to Strength to get the correct logging.

Which watch do you have? The accelerometer will detect certain arm movements to determine the exercise reps.

I have a Vivofit2

I'm afraid the vivofit 2 is not really suitable for strength training activities. Even the latest vivofit 4 does not have a strength training profile. Staying in the vivo line, you'd have to go with something like a vivoactive 3, 4, or 4s
