Tracking steps on treadmill with Fitbit Charge 3

[onknight]

So I've been walking outside for the past 2 months

But since it's Canada head inside for the gym until about May

So how can I get my Fitbit to track my steps on a treadmill

I'm really really obsessed with getting my five to ten thousand steps in

And I'm worried I won't get them in  on a treadmill

@onknight Welcome! It's great to see you around. 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums. It's great to hear that you keep motivated by reaching your step goal. Please note that your Charge 3 uses the sensor in it to detect movement and will translate this movement into steps. If you hold on to the handlebars then you won't be moving your arms as with a normal walk and steps won't be counted. Ideally you won't use the handlebars so all your steps will be calculated. Keep in mind that you need to be actually walking so your tracker can register all your information. You can check the article: How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? for more tips.

Hope this helps.
