Inspire 3 seems to count false steps

[LilithRain]

Hello!

I'm new to using a Fitbit, and I'm wondering if my hyperactivity from my ADHD could be giving me credit for walking or exercise when I haven't.

A part of me is always in motion: feet or legs shaking, constantly fidgeting, etc.

And it seems the Fit Bit is counting it.

For instance, I've been congratulated on walking 1000 steps while I'm sitting and watching TV.

• So, I wanted to ask if I'm right in thinking that my hyperactivity is causing an issue with the Fitbit?

If it indeed is this, is there a way to fix the problem?

If it's not it, what else can I try to fix it.

Moderator edit: clarified subject.

Hello @LilithRain and welcome to the forums. Yes, it's very possible your ADHD fidgeting is causing those extra steps. Wrist based devices will give more steps if you're knitting, playing the drums or simply waving to a friend across the street. You can remove the unwanted steps.

It's goog to see you participating in the community for the first time @LilithRain 

Thank you providing all these details regarding the Inspire 3.

In addition to the useful information provided by @Odyssey13 , I would ask if you are ever using your phone to count your steps. Perhaps, you could have added this feature in the Fitbit app. To confirm, go to the app, in the Today tab, tap the icon in the top left corner, scroll down and check if your phone appears there. If it's there, tap on the three dots menu button in the MobileTrack tile and remove it. Sync your Fitbit app to finish.

Please, confirm the following are correct in the Fitbit app:

• Your wrist settings (For more information, see Does the wrist I wear my device on affect accuracy? )
• Your height (For more information, see How do I manage my Fitbit profile?)

Since we use height to estimate your walking and running stride lengths, you may want to measure and manually adjust these values if your legs are longer or shorter than average. For more information, please see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

Thanks  @Odyssey13 for providing those tips.
