Hi @antaniutsav55 

Your post is titled Inspire HR, but you posted in the Luxe forum. Please be more clear with your questions and what device it pertains to.

Hi there, @antaniutsav55. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

To better assist you, please provide us with the information requested by @MarciM. This is the Fitbit Luxe board, but you mentioned to own a Fitbit Inspire HR. Also, I'd to confirm if you have any other app linked to your Fitbit account? Like MobileTrack for example? 

Meanwhile, please note that Fitbit devices have a finely-tuned algorithm for step counting. The algorithm is designed to look for intensity and motion patterns that are most indicative of people walking and running. When working at a desk, cooking, or performing other activities with arm movements, a device on your wrist may add some steps. When you’re doing activities that involve arm movement—such as working or cooking—you often walk a few steps in-between stationary periods as well, so the device tries to give you credit for those steps. For most customers, the number of extra steps added by arm-based movement isn’t significant when compared to your overall stats. For more information, see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

Hope this helps.
