I used the treadmill this morning while wearing my Fitbit, and it counted steps as I was going. After finishing, I logged that I did the treadmill and it added 3,000 steps out of nowhere. Is there a way to say that I did the treadmill and have it count my steps in real time?

Hi @Coffeegirl14 and welcome!

Manually logging your workout shouldn't influence your steps at all. Manually logging your workout is recommended when: you forget to wear your tracker, if you don't have a heart rate tracker and are doing a workout where step count isn't representative of caloric burn (ie yoga, cycling etc), or forget to track your exercise.
