today I raked the lawn for an hour and a half to music. I was pouring wet with sweat, my arms were killing me from all the force. Yet my fitbit said I only had ten active minutes and I burned like 50 calories....That doesn't seem right. If I log in an he of raking into MFP it says I burned about 300. Did my fitbit just not calculate it right or does it not realize your working out unless it's cardio like running

    I'd assume your arms were moving more than your feet and since FitBit mainly tracks steps then this wouldn't be an activity FitBit would recognize the effort you put in. 50 might be low but 300 sounds high. Maybe log somewhere in the middle?
