Steps on Fitbit Tracker

Can anyone tell me what 'pace' means when logging a walk.(Eg 20'8")

Interesting question @JoA

Moved your question previously posted in another thread regarding another topic in the Charge HR section to the Get Fit section, this increases the chance of getting a solution and likely when more awesome people have the same question can the find the answer in this section more quickly when someone awesome (everyone's awesome) is able to chime in to give more insight what it means.

Wishing a wonderful day

So I am not sure if its the same, and I am probably wrong, but that has never stopped me before...on the treadmill pace refers to how long it will take you to do a mile at your current speed. so my mph is 6 and my pace is 10. This means in 10 minutes going six miles per hour, I will jog a mile. maybe its the same?

@emili You are correct, "the number of minutes to do a mile or kilometre"

One step problem I noticed. I am a lorry driver and when I have loaded my 60ft trailer with 50 or so cages my heart rate is high and the fitbit records this as exercise. When I then close the back up and drive my heart rate is still high so the steps are recorded for about 2-3 mins until my heart rate falls back to resting so be careful if you drive for a job.

I'm thinking loading a trailer and increasing your heart rate should count as exercise. 🙂

You can, however, set an activity as "driving" and use it to get rid of your accidental driving steps.

Here is a thread that talks about that: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Share-Your-Story/Recording-distance-when-driving/m-p/384444/highligh...

There are a couple of others, too, that you can find by searching for "driving" under discussions.

Hope this helps.
