Tracking elliptical

[Jangles]

Why does my Fitbit track elliptical when I’m doing a walking video?

@Jangles Your Fitbit recognizes specific activities based on the motion of your wrist. Your wrist must have been moving in a way that your Fitbit misidentified as being the same as it would on an elliptical machine. 

If you tap the Exercise Days tile in the Fitbit app and tap the three dots at the upper right, you can access your Activity Settings. Select Elliptical and then turn off Auto Recognize, if you don't want your Fitbit to identify any of your workouts as elliptical again.
