Will the Alta recognise an Elliptical workout?

Will the Alta recognise an Elliptical workout? My Flex doesn't.

I tried manual logging of my elliptical workouts, but am credited only 1 calorie per minute. That's basal metabolic rate! -- And of course at that rate my workout does not show up as active minutes. I'm ready to return the Fitbit. Incorrect and unreliable information is *not* motivating.

Hi, I go to the gym and use the elliptical machine and have learned that if you put the firbit in your pocket or your bra it will register the time spent in active minutes.
I hope this helps.

Where are your bra do you put it? Just on a strap?

[Mssandy033]

I put the Fitbit (without wristbands) in my cleavage. But while I’m on the elliptical or jogging, I like to put it on the belt loop of my pants

[Diane353]

Sharon, I put it in the center of the bra, works every time. I’ve also stuffed it into the waist band of my leggings. Good luck.

Yes. Through a strap on my shoulder.

I just tucked it between my breasts.

So,  while it will track your steps of you put it on a different part of your body,  I'm assuming it won't track your heart rate during your workout, which is another key function of the Alta.  Very disappointing.

Tried that- didn’t work for me 

[kristen-vaughn]

Mine doesn't register either! This is so frustrating.

[Diane353]

I agree. I’ve had luck if I put it in a pocket that’s lower on my hip.

I put it my bra, and it registers.

[Carol390]

My elliptical did not register my steps today.

could it be more effective when using only one handle and keep the other arm dangling

while exercising?

I have good luck by tucking my Alta in my bra. I'm not sure why, but it
seems to work. God luck.
