Treadmill step counting

I hated having to add my treadmill  steps manually. 
I have balance problems so holding on meant no count showed. 
however problem solved by holding with one hand while letting the fit bit hand move as if I was walking outside 

hope this might help other wobbly people.

The device only needs to see impacts to count a step and calculate distance.

 

If this is a HR-based device - you can choose what's more useful - seeing HR during a workout, or getting good step, distance, calorie count?

 

No need to potentially fall.

Move the device to your body so it sees the impacts fully, early devices were body only anyway.
