Fitbit Blaze not Counting Floors Properly

[Jimster]

Just started using the Blaze.  So far I like it very much but am still learning.  I just finished my first exercise routine with the blaze which in this case was 50 minutes on the treadmill.  It recorded the 50 minutes correctly BUT it also has me climbing 46 floors!  I did not use a stairmaster, which its not supposed to record anyway.  Do I have a setting wrong?

Thanks!

Is it really windy where you are? Floors can be counted if there's changes in air pressure.

Thank you, Lyssa.

No, it was not particularly windy during my workout.  And the floors measurement graph shows that the floors I conquered (Not!) was exactly during my treadmill run. I'm going to work out again today so I'll see what it does and let people know.

It's great to have you here @Jimster. Your tracker may give you credit for extra floors for a variety of reasons. Occasionally your tracker may detect pressure changes unrelated to elevation gains, such as a gust of wind, weather change, or opening a door. Exposure to excess moisture can also result in extra floors being counted. This happens if the pathway to the altimeter on the back of your tracker becomes temporarily blocked with sweat or water. We recommend that your tracker be worn loosely during exercise. 

Thanks for your advice @macgurlnet! 

Let me know how it goes.
