Hi I'm new to Fitbit, is there a way I can track my run or power walk on a treadmill. I never hold on to the side rail and always swing my arms so my Fitbit charge doesn't recognise it as workout on treadmill. But it does count my steps.

    I have the clip-on Fitbit One, not a wrist one, but for the treadmill I just manually add my workout on the app (instead of "track" exercise you hit "log" and you can manually enter the time and distance.) Doesn't count the extra steps towards challenges though.

    Is there an app you can connect that will collect the data?

    I just use the Fitbit app (which I have also connected to MFP), not sure what you mean other than that.
