Manual entries not counting toward challenges, i.e. workweek hustle is complete b.s.  If you have to work out indoors on a treadmill or elliptical you must manually enter because the device does not track properly since you are not moving far enough.  There must be a solution to this.  Anyone have an answer??

The treadmill will pick up steps its not accurate as the stride is different. So I would not manually log.

 

Same with elliptical it will pick up some steps.

 

Challenges will always only pick up true Fitbit steps.
