Will the "steps" counted during kickboxing affect the calorie burn amount?

I've started doing a boxing-like exercise, and since kickboxing is as close as the Charge will get in the exercises section, that's what I set it to while I work out. It's almost 100% upper body, with some squats every once in a while. 

Last night during this exercise it says I took over 7k steps when there were maybe 20 in reality. Can I still trust the calories burned amount? My Fitbit is usually pretty accurate about my calorie burn if I stay step-based, but I'm not sure if I can trust it with the boxing if it thinks I'm running around. I get a good workout, and my Fitbit average burn last night was 7cal/min, which is in the boxing's estimated 6-8/min, but I don't know enough about any of it to know if I can trust it (as much as you can ever trust a calorie estimating tool).

I understand that it will still count steps, and I'm not necessarily bothered by that, I'm more concerned about the end calorie estimation. It can tell me I walked to the moon if the burn ends up correct.

Hi, @xLyric! Calorie burn is mostly based on your heart rate, so as long as that's registering all right, your calorie burn should be all right. When I box I just use "workout" for the setting and rename it. For me, it seems like a reasonable calorie burn on mine.

Great, thanks! Do the different workouts calculate calories differently, or is it just names? I put kickboxing since it's closest, but renaming it would probably be better as far as my personal tracking goes as long as it's all calculated the same.

From my experience, the tracking is all the same, it's just the names. Maybe someone from Fitbit can confirm, but that's how I've seen it work. Unfortunately, "workout" is the only exercise you can rename after the fact.
