Record treadmill walking on Fitbit One

[leonastahl]

I need help trying to record my workout on a treadmill on my Fitbit one. I have been unable to find a way to do this successfully. Right now I have to carry my iPhone during the exercise so that it records properly, but it is so unhandy and inconvenient. If I just log the exercise and not carry the phone later, it adds additional steps which I actually did not walk. I have also noticed that if I have the Fitbit one attached to my clothing and leave my phone nearby to sync, it only records about half of the milage. So frustrating. Help me!

It will not be accurate on the treadmill as the stride length is different. I just go with what ever it gives me.

I also use the recording feature. So it captures what I did in that exercise time. You push the button in to start  it and then push it in again to stop it
