elliptical trainer and active minutes

I was on the elliptical trainer today for 20 mins and added it as an activity - it updated but not as active minutes - how can I cahange that? (B/c my x-trainer is way more active then when I am walking!)

I logged it as medium intensity - should I change that? (But really it was only medium, not hardcore).

See:

 

https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/1020095-what-are-%22very-active-minutes%22-

 

"Note that your active minute count will be lower for activities that are not primarily step-based, such as weight lifting, cycling, and rowing."

 

I imagine elliptical would be considered as such a "not primarily step-based" activity.
