Do you wear your Fitbit while doing cardio - treadmill or cross trainer?

ive had my Fitbit flex for a while now and I wear it 24/7 but I'm curious if you guys wear it while doing the treadmill or cross trainer? It obviously tracks my steps and active minutes for both but I also manually log it on MFP too so it's there for sure and definitely logged properly.

I wear it all the time. The only exercises I manually log are weights.

My runs and walks, whatever fitbit gives mfp, it's what I leave it at.

I wear mine as well, although I do not have my flex linked to my mfp account.

Sometimes but I always log cardio via my HRM by time and it overwrites the steps

fitbit doesn't really pick up crosstrainers well

Thanks all. Will not log treadmill time but will log cross trainer! it doesn't matter really as I don't eat exercise calories at the mo but was just curious either way!

I wear mine, it is synched with MFP and I do not input exercise on MFP. I figure that the excess calorie burn from the incline is just a bonus to give me slightly more of a deficit cushion.

don't forget to note the time you start and finish - and then halve the calories MFP database gives you

and eat them back ...calories you earn are the yummiest

I wear mine all of the time and don't log anything separately because like marissa, I just call it bonus burn.
