Is there a way to set my stride length for steps? My Sense said I walked 2 1/2 miles yesterday, and while I would have liked to, there is no way I walked that much yesterday. I don't know what the default stride length is, but mine is set way to short. Thanks!

The stride length is initially set based on your gender, weight, height... You can also manually set the stride length on your settings page. Go here:  https://www.fitbit.com/settings/profile and check the stats and then scroll down to stride length and tap the tile and you can manually set your stride length here.

Hi @rb66102, welcome to the Community. @wtksk8r, it's great to see you around.

 

@rb66102, thanks for sharing that you want to set up your walk stride length so your Sense can track your walks accurately.
