Today I did just over 8000 steps and went for a walk, approx 2.5 miles. If I put the walk in I end up with just over 13000 steps. Why ? obviously the walk is being counted as extra but surely that cannot be right. Are you not supposed to enter walks as exercise.

There's no need to manually log a walk as fitbits are quite happy to track that on their own.

 

If you do manually log a walk and you were wearing the fitbit at the time then it will overwrite the steps and calories that were tracked with those calculated for the manual entry. It is difficult to explain why, in your case, the manual entry had so many more steps.
