It's great to see you around @RaynerRobinson and @WendyB thanks for stopping by.
Keep in mind that your Blaze will detect your steps depending on the arm movement. If you are on a treadmill and you are holding the bars, your steps won't be detected since there isn't arm movement. You can take a look at the link that our friend provided and if you really want to track your steps while being on the treadmill, you can place the tracker inside a pocket in the meantime.
Let me know if you need anything else.
