Fitbit doesn't know what incline training is!

So my fitbit will give me the steps HOWEVER it does not take into account that I was at a steep incline and was working hard, so is it better to log the calories burned as shown by the incline trainer with HR monitor or just leave it as the fitbit says? I know I am supposed to log my bike time since the fitbit REALLY doesn't know what that is!

    Fitbit only recognizes incline if you are climbing real stairs or hills because it's measuring the air pressure or something to know you are climbing. So just like with the bike, you will need to override and put in the workout manually if you want the calories.
