Hi,
Today I did 6 segments from Leslie's walk blaster DVD - to make an approximately 4 mile walk. I did her light walk, dance walk, brisk & steady, interval, short and sweaty and flexibility and when I finished my step count was 8,130 steps - I do put my counter on first thing in the morning, so you can probably knock a few hundred steps off that for my total, but even if it came to 7K steps, that isn't bad at all - especially before 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning!

I'm confused - Leslie says the pace determines the miles - so wouldn't 3000 fast steps take you farther than 3000 slow steps but on Fitbit they count the same? Or does Fitbit register speed as well as number of steps?
I think it's easier to walk faster when you are walking in place than when you're out on the road. |

I know when I walk the dogs faster my pedometer says I walked a shorter distance than when I walk slower. I'm sure it has to do with the stride length. Also your running stride is different so when my GPS says I ran 5 miles my pedometer and Fitbit say I ran a fair amount less.
I agree with your last statement for sure. I can also walk faster on the treadmill than outside.

I am bumping this up because I'm relieved to see that it's not just me experiencing the discrepancy between the Fitbit and Leslie "miles."
I just got a Fitbit Charge HR for Christmas and did my first Leslie workout with it on my wrist today. It was the first 4 miles of her 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk. I made a particular point to pump my arms strong and even did more forward and back motions when Leslie and her team were marching or kicking in place. I jogged forward and back during all the 2-minute boosted walking periods, too. My fitbit only shows that I walked a little over 2 miles and a little over 5,000 steps! Boo. I'm gonna try Jessica tomorrow and see what the discrepancy is between the FB and her walking workouts. |
