ForPump, Combat, CX and Sh'Bam, I use the 'Cardio' workout, and then later rename it to the relevant Les Mills workout. This works for me, as it gives me all the useful metrics including HR, calories and time. It also gives some useless metrics such as elevation (but I choose to ignore this, it doesn't bother me to have this information in there).
I think the question is how do you measure the essence of a body pump session? As a "cardio activity", it's an hour in HRZ 1/2/3, mildly aerobic and zero anaerobic, yet my limbs are dropping off with lactic burn!!! I don't think there is a good activity measure for this. The answers here let us record the activity like a diary event, but they don't help us measure the true activity.
You're so right! I'm new to Garmin and enjoying it but so disappointed about this. I do loads of Les mills and CrossFit-type classes and Garmin just can't handle them at all..! Really disappointing. I should have done better research, I thought they were better at this stuff but this is basic..
I teach the classes and get a little annoyed I can't track them properly. HR doesn't really help. In the case of pump, it's lifting to a big degree, but extremely different than a normal lifting session and should be accounted for properly within Connect so the overall training metrics would be more correct. Especially when being combined with the typical running, biking and swimming. I'm sure the body battery, training effect and so on isn't correct after recording the class as cardio.
I'll also hold small pump weights or use my own weighted gloves during combat (don't knock it till you try it) for a little endurance in the back and shoulders. And I'm pretty sure that doesn't get accounted for properly under cardio.
I like everything else about my Fenix, well mostly, but still wonder about trying a watch that incorporates LM into their activities. Honestly, it wouldn't be hard for them to add in the activities. Having gone to LM Live the other week, 7hrs of classes really didn't have the effect in Connect it should if it could have been recorded properly. And thus it drags down your overall metrics because it doesn't show the work you put in.
