My partner thinks running on the spot to reach step goal is cheating. Would you count it as cheating?

No. It's still exertion.

that happens to me too.... when sitting in the car and my arms are moving around to music because I can not really move my feet to dance to my favorite song so he thinks I am cheating because they are not steps but I'm not meaning to get the steps

Nope
but depends who you ask
I try to do as much outside, but due to health reasons, I walk/jog on the spot whilst watching tv, recently whilst watching a lot of BBC parliament, even before the Grenfell Tower fire....
hope I am not secretly developing a crush on Theresa May!!!! Or even worse Mr Speaker!!!! John Bercow!!!! Wouldn't mind his wage though, must get a bob or two....

Count me as a no too!
Why would movement not count if you are moving? Sitting on the couch waving your arm because you don't want to get up is a cheat; marching in place is movement.
As for the driving thing, I try to do leg lifts while sitting at work but I don't count those as anything and my hands are just doing work. I figure it's a wash if it counts my hand moving in the car if I do the leg lifts throughout the day.

I was just sick a little bit in my mouth.
But to the more important (and less disturbing) question at hand:
It doesn't matter whether someone else thinks that you're "cheating" or not.
What do you think? After all, if you are cheating, it's only you who'll suffer. Do you think you've hit your target honestly? If so, all is well!

I dont feel it was cheating. Just wanted to make sure that's what everyone thought. Don't want people to feel I'm cheating in challenges and such.
Thanks 😄
