Fenix 7s SS ideas for treadmill step counting when holding the rails

Enduro 3 user here. I got my mother a Fenix 7s Sapphire Solar for Christmas and her step count & distance travelled on treadmills is way low. The problem is she walks at an incline, holds the rails, and plays some card game on the treadmill screen :/ I can't really change her routine but I'd like to find a solution.

Do footpods track steps or is it just stride length/speed/distance?

Will devices with Running Dynamics such as the Running Dynamics Pod or the HRM Pro straps count steps/speed/distance or are they just for gait, ground contact time, etc.?

My HRM pro plus records my steps (when playing beachvolleyball without the fenix) and should do so in your case with the resting arms.

She can also either keep the watch in the pocket (no HR will be recorded, though), or attach it to the ankle.

From other accessories, only HRM-Pro, HRM-Fit, and Vivoki count steps, but you must not wear the watch in the same time.

Thanks all. That's goofy!
