Elliptical and Fitbit Flex

Castaspella · January 2015

After I use the elliptical I log it here on myfitnesspal. I have been wearing my fitbit flex while using the elliptical. Is this over counting my steps/calories burned or are the two apps synched? Help, I have googled this every which way and can't find the answer!!

Personally I take mine (charge) off for everything other than running. My elliptical like many has a heart rate monitor and figures out calories for me. After I'm done I log they data into mfp.

If you have a fitbit with a heart rate monitor I guess you wouldn't need to log it at all?

Hope that helps.

I wear mine, and then manually log the elliptical time in mfp. Then I get a negative exercise calorie count from fitbit that takes me a few thousand steps to make back up. So it balances itself.

This seems helpful too. I'm going to go try it right now!
