Manually adding steps

[sew6508]

Is there a way to manually add steps through the FitBit site? I went to run a race on Saturday and discovered by Blaze was almost dead, so I switched to my Garmin. I'd like to still track those steps within FitBit. Is that possible?

@sew6508 You can manually add an activity. Looks like you are using an iPhone, so here is how you do it in the ios app. On the app dashboard tap the Exercise tile (or Track exercise tile if you haven't worked out today) to open your exercise history. Tap the stopwatch icon in the top right corner and then tap Log. Search Run and then add details.

A few things to note when manually logging an activity. It will override the step and calorie data automatically detected by your tracker during the same time period.  This is a non-issue in your particular case, but just a FYI. Also, steps added through manual entry do not count toward challenges or badges.

In case you have more questions, here is a help article on how to add an activity using your dashboard or app.

It's great to see you around @sew6508. Here are some detailed instructions you can follow to manually log activities from your iOS Fitbit app:

1. Tap the exercise tile. 
2. Tap the timer in the top right corner; this will take you to the Mobile Run screen. 
3. Tap "Log" at the top of the screen. 
4. Log your activity. 

Happy stepping!
