I (22F, 160cm, SW: 165lbs, CW:160lbs, GW: 110lbs ) have been using a standing desk everyday for 2 to 3 hours. During that time I am sometimes jogging in the same place or just I will be moving my legs a lot. But my hands are on the desk and the wrist band (mifit5) does not count any of the jogging or moving my legs.
I also workout (zumba, fast walking) and I am constantly moving around and jumping during the workout. But even during that time the steps are not counted properly. I would be doing the fast paced 5 mile walk in 1 hour type workout (yt channel: growwithjo, reps to the rythm) and my step count in wrist band would just be 3000 to 4000.
I know all the moving around and calorie counting (1200 to 1400 everyday) is working because I have lost 5 pounds in 20 days (started from feb 1), but I really want to see the number of steps. I don't check my wrist watch when I am working out because I get very easily distracted, but every time after I finish my workout and check the watch, I get disappointed.
Am I doing something wrong or am I just taking like 3k to 4k steps? Do all the jogging in one place while using standing desk don't count as steps?
