Missing Steps on the Elliptical

[Natalia7]

I've noticed a huge discrepancy between the amount of strides the elliptical counts and the amount of steps my Fitbit counts (and it's a huge difference, the elliptical will count close to 8000 steps for my workout while I only get about 4100 on the Fitbit). I've tried both pumping my arms and moving them while holding on to the handles but no luck. Any tips or tricks on making the Fitbit count the elliptical steps more accurately?

Hi @Natalia7, welcome, you may find these articles of interest How accurate are Fitbit devices? which has a section on step counting and this third-party commentary on the issue How to make your fitness tracker count steps more accurately - The Verge . I apologise if you've seen them already.
