Hi @Nancysa wrist based trackers require you to move your arms so steps are recognized. If you're pushing a shopping cart or stroller, steps aren't always recognized. You can always do like many others - use an extender strap for the ankle or just tuck the Fitbit down your sock while on the treadmill.
