I have a Fitbit Alta HR and have used it for quite a while to track my steps. I am now going to the Gym more and walk on the track to warm up, walk on the treadmill and use the ellipical. Obviously the Fitbit will track the walking and treadmill steps but will it track the calories I burn on the elliptical? Does it think I am walking? Or does it base calories burned on the heart rate? I want accurate calorie burn info so I have a heart rate monitor I have been using at the gym so I track all my calories but it would be nice to just use my fitbit. Also, i do not think the Alta HR is waterproof so I cannot use it swimming either so I use the heart rate monitor watch instead. What are my options?
Thank you in advance.
John
