I am so concerned with my step count to keep my ranking in the challenges that I am not lifting weights anymore. I know the steps are important but I should be lifting wights also and I need to spend the whole hour at the gym on the treadmill to get the step count.

I do a fit and tone class twice a week. 45 minutes hand weights with minute of cardio between each targeted weight strengthening area. Warm up 2 minutes doing kick backs and heel digs, work my shoulders, then do a minute of squatting side kicks, then then next area ... for 45 minutes. Not a lot of stepping. It helps to do cardio on the other five days.

Can anyone please tell me on my FitBit One, why is it that when I go up the steps it never catches EVERYTIME I go up? I will go up 14-15 flights up stairs so that I can have 10 accounted for each day lol. I know I can't go from floor 1 to floor 3 and expect it to count 2 flights, but it just don't catch when I go up the stairs solo.

For me it's a split time of both daily.
AM Strength Training.
PM Cardio Training.
You only need an hour on both times to reach your goals.

So I am doing the same thing. I just started a lunchtime tone class that is 50 minutes long that is incorporating free weights and a fitness ball. How do you track that on your log? Or do you?

For your Fitbit One, a "floor" is really a 10-feet elevation (*). Chances are your 14-15 flights are only 100 feet in total, which is why you only get credited for 10 floors.

Ever since I got my Flex I've become sort of an "addict" of hitting the 10K steps. But in the last couple of months I realized I needed to round-out my fitness and got back into weight lifting. I try to spend one hour of weight training followed by an hour of running. I try to hit at least 5 miles on the treadmill with interval running. Running anywhere from 4-8 miles mph.
I think I may need to step up my # of steps to 15K to push myself to the next level but hesitate to because of other obligations.
