If you wear a fitness tracker on your wrist and you move your arms around (even if you aren't taking any steps) the sensor detects accelerations, which may be counted as steps. Conversely, if the sensor can't detect your changes in speed, it may not count steps.
Photo: Pedometers can measure your steps because your body swings from side to side as you walk. Each swing counts as one step. Multiplying the number of "swings" by the average length of your steps tells you how far you've gone.May 15, 2021
