Boxing and Fitbit Charge Hr

‎05-11-2015 19:01

I have only had my Fitbit charge HR for a few days and I did a boxing class at the gym but It was counting my punches as steps. Is there a way to stop this? I want to wear the HR to track my heart rate during the class.

Thanks in advance

There is no way to stop your Fitbit from counting your punches as steps because your Fitbit uses an accelerometer to track your steps based partly on the motion of your arms.  There is a kick boxing exercise option that might account for some of that so you might want to try that out.
