Are the aerobic steps counted as part of the daily total or do you add the two numbers together to get an accurate daily count?

The aerobic steps are a subset of the total steps. The pedometer gives you a total step count, calories, distance, and aerobic steps...steps you have walked continuously without stopping after 10 minutes of movement. When I do a 3 mile walk or go to the gym, my daily total might be 15,000 steps with 7,000 of those aerobic and 8,000 around the house, grocery shopping, etc. The pedometer shows the 15,000 total, 7,000 aerobic, x miles, y calories. I don't have to add anything up...just look at the display.

All steps of any kind are counted as steps. Aerobic steps only counts vigorous activity. I've never checked to see how many mph on the tread mill I would have to walk to count as aerobic activity. The manufacturer could likely answer that question.

I have had several of the older model of this one over about 10 years. I purchased a Garmin Vivofit last fall. It doesn't count steps when you are pushing a grocery cart, etc. Bummer. Because my last Omron drowned in the washer when I forgot to take it out of my pocket, I bought this updated one. A little different than the originals but still tracks better than the Vivofit and more discreet in my pocket than on my wrist. It is definitely worth the money...a third less than the Vivofits, Fit Bits, etc. and does just as good a job.

Hi Mary. The aerobic steps are calculated separate from your regular steps - all figured for you!

Your aerobic steps are included in your total daily steps and also displayed as their own total.

Maybe I should clarify. The aerobic steps are displayed with the total steps and then your aerobic steps are shown separately.

As soon as I get up in the morning it starts counting my steps. I did 14,200 today but try to make the 10,000 every day with walking, followed by aerobics and whatever I do the rest of the day.

Hello Sara,Sorry for the late response; The answer to your question is yes. You can reset the steps/distance as many times as you want during the course of the day. There is a cumulative total that gets saved. So if you record your steps before you reset them, then you can keep a history of the sets during the day. By the time the next day rolls around, the memory only save the cumulative total for that day, not the individual sets. Just press the bottom most button to clear and reset each count, which btw does not affect the total count for the day. Cheers, -Ben

Sorry no, but you could keep a record of the steps and then calculate each walk.

I dont know. Mine resets at midnight every day, as I'm more concerned about each day's total. I know I'll never walk a million steps in a day! :-)

Sorry for the long delay! Yes, it does count steps while walking in place. As I have had more time to play with it know this as well: It's a little more complicated than I need it to be but maybe some people like that. The instructions are fairly useless so be forewarned. Good luck!

It will count the steps and base the calories, etc on steps, but whether it counts it as workout minutes depends on whether you move for 10 minutes straight without stopping. I have yet to have it pick up any of my workouts as "workout minutes/calories" because I do not move constantly when I am working out. I will admit that I am rather disappointed with this particular feature. I workout at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week but because of knee issues, I use machines, so there are breaks between the exercises. Thus, my workouts never get recorded as such.

No, the step count resets at midnight to "0". There is no carry over from the previous day same as with some of the other pedometer's I've used.

You have to walk for 10 minutes continuously for it to track aerobic steps. The initial steps taken in that first 10 minutes will be included in your daily total.

Mine counts every step I take. Sometimes I walk slowly, sometimes a little faster, and then other times I speed up and get the walking done as fast as I can. Counts every step. I know because sometimes I count as I walk and stop to check to see if it's still counting.

It'll have problems seeing impacts of both feet, which is what would normally be considered steps. On the hip it might catch both feet, depending on how much impact you make with foot when you pedal. If good, not much. So that's the steps part. But the calorie part is based on steps taken and calculated stride length therefore distance, and time, so pace, and mass. Formula's specific to walking/running, not at all correct for biking. If you had best estimate on biking calories, and you made them match - buy lottery tickets.

The FitBit Flex does not show the number of steps. You would have to look on the dashboard or on your mobile app for exact steps.

You have to turn it on each morning, but it will count the total daily steps. Make sure you do not accidentally hit the watch on anything as it will change/stop the settings depending on which button is pressed.

I always use the mile counter although you could use the Aerobic Steps or Steps Per Minute modes.

Yes. You have a choice of methods. Fitbit may count "steps" while you are using the elliptical machine, but the other way would be to track "Activities" where "elliptical - high resistance," "moderate" and "low resistance" are choices. You would input the amount of time and resistance level, and Fitbit calculates calories burned. It would also negate any steps counted during the time period.

Yes, if you mean real physical steps and you keep going and not take over four seconds per step. However, if your using a stair climber and your not constant stride even a second between steps then no it won't count.

It counts your steps whether your walking on a treadmill or on ground and whether your walking or running. As long as your moving it accurately counts your steps.
