Using the life fitness app

[Karwood]

I use life fitness machines at the gym. When I am on the elliptical I scan the machine and turn my Fitbit on. The Fitbit  and life fitness mileage is not the same or even close. The machine records mileage much higher than the Fitbit.  Then when I open the Fitbit app I have 1 elliptical workout and 1 run workout... although I did not run.   My question is how do I get them to record the same or should I only use 1 method of recording workouts?

@Karwood you will need adjust your stride, and keep your arms off the handlebars. 

If. You would like give some details, current stride setting, Fitbit miles, treadmill miles we could help.

Stride is set on 26”...32.9” for running.

fitbit miles show 2.85

machine miles show 5.19

its the elliptical and the handle bars move.

heart rate and time all match with each other. 

Thank you!
