How to get floors on fitbit without stairs.

If you have a fitbit zip or flex you are out of luck as those only count steps. Walking up a steep hill counts a standard flight of stairs works etc. Your fitbit is an altimeter so things like barimetric pressure and wind can impact its count. If i can do 300 pretty easily in addition to cruise activities then surely many athletic types can make 700 floors.

If you have a fitbit charge or one it should be able to count stairs. Today i show you guys 5 different awesome ways to fool your fitbit and get all the steps you need in a day. Does your fitbit app show more floors climbed than it should. I can also get floors in my jeep if i drive on a bumpy road.

The barometer in the iphone 6 6 plus and 6s allows you to track flights climbed without a fitness tracker. Which made me wonder why can t i just log floors since fitbit versa never tracks floors correctly. Fitbit versa did not automatically track my exercise today like it always has in the past. A 10 foot increase equals one floor regardless of how many steps you take.

If it isn t functioning properly you sh. I exercised about 15 minutes three times it should pick up at 10 minutes one time and it did not track any of them. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.

So i found out i could just log it myself.
