I have the Versa 2 and use it to track my workouts. However, during hiit/aerobic workouts, the Fitbit continues counting steps. For example my last aerobic workout counted almost 4000 steps due to movement (jumping jacks, burpees, boxing moves, etc) but I don't want this to count as steps because now it looks like I took 4000 steps that didn't actually take.

 

Is there any way to pause or stop the Fitbit from counting steps while in a workout mode?

Welcome to the forums!

 

It will count steps with arm movements. There is no way around that.

 

Hope to see you around!
