by Jeniffer Leio Excutive

Fitbit is a wearable tech that is used for tracking the activity throughout the day. If you are a fitness freak, then this will help you track your fitness goals. From the Fitbit dashboard, you can check the statistics, goals, and insights. This can be accessed from a desktop as well.

How to Set Up Fitbit Dashboard?

First, you need to download the Fitbit app. This app is available for free in the app store. Ensure that the software has been updated to the latest version, or else you may face problems linking your phone and Fitbit account.
You need to turn Bluetooth on before proceeding.
When the installation of the app is over, open it.
In the first app screen, tap on the Join Fitbit option.
Now, you will have to select your Fitbit tracker.
Simply key in the details. For keeping an accurate track of stuff such as calories burnt, you will have to add some details to Fitbit.
Add your name, date of birth, height, weight, and gender.
Tap on the Save button.
Now, you need to create a new account by entering your full name, email address, and password.
Agree to the terms of service and privacy policy and tap on Create an account.
Now, simply pair your Bluetooth device to the Fitbit account. Place the Fitbit tracker near the device.
Go to the device settings, and choose the Fitbit tracker for pairing it to the device.
Get back to the Fitbit application and get started.
Simply synchronize the computer that does not have Bluetooth. You have to make use of the wireless sync dongle that you received along with the Fitbit. Place the tracker near the computer, and insert the dongle in the USB slot. The devices will get paired automatically.
Follow the prompts shown on the screen.
In just a minute, your Fitbit tracker will get connected to your account.

How to Use the Fitbit Dashboard?

Launch the Fitbit app. You can open it on the desktop or phone. However, ensure that Bluetooth is turned on, the tracker is near the device, and the wireless dongle is plugged into the USB port in case the desktop does not support Bluetooth.
Now, you can customize your Fitbit dashboard by adding tiles. To add tiles, click on the Menu button at the left corner of the screen and tap on the box next to the tile you want to add.
At the upper side of the dashboard, you will see a pull-down menu named Log. Below this menu, you will see an option called Food. Here you can enter your present and coveted weight.
In the next screen, you can select a weight loss plan.
You can also keep a record of your water intake. Just tap on Log and select water.
To remove redundant or useless tiles, just place the cursor on the lower region of the tile you intend to remove, click on the hear icon and choose the Trash icon for removing the selected tile.
