I forgot my Fitbit at home tonight when I went to the gym. I was on the elliptical for 62 minutes and was able to manually log this. It did not change my steps, nor my distance. Is there a way to manually log my miles? I went 5.4 miles and am unable to manually log. Anyone??

Enter is as steps

 

Elliptical is not step based

But I know how many miles I went. Is there a place to add my miles?

Hello @Lbettino and thanks for joining us, it's great to have you on board! It's also nice to see you around @WendyB, thanks for your input on this situation. Smiley Happy

 

@Lbettino, as @WendyB mentioned, the best option to log in the activity manually is by logging it as a Walk (steps). Once you select Walk as exercise you'll be able to log in your personalized distance.

 I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and in case you need anything else, please keep me posted! Smiley Wink

I used to add steps as you described but I now have an Inspire HR. It looks like I should be able to add steps but when I did, it deleted my 6500 steps and only added my the extra steps.
