Too many steps: Alta

[cridley]

My fitbit Alta is tracking the slightest movement that I make. So I work with children and when I rock them to sleep, it is counting that as steps but I am not actually up and moving. How can I fix this??

Hey hey @cridley! For wrist-based trackers, its important to specify whether you wear the tracker on your dominant or non-dominant wrist:

• The dominant wrist setting decreases the sensitivity of step counting and should reduce any over counting of steps when your body is not moving.
• The non-dominant wrist setting increases the sensitivity of step counting and should reduce any under counting of steps. Non-dominant is the default.

In addition to dominance (right or left), Fitbit Alta™ also needs to know which wrist you prefer to wear the tracker on. Tracker location helps orient the screen correctly in addition to adjusting the sensitivity of step detection.

Give my recommendations a try and let me know how it goes!
