Floors climbing without floors. Do you know how? What can I do instead?

Counting floors requires change in altitude. It also requires actual stepping with free swinging arm motion as though climbing stairs. Otherwise the elevator would give you floors too easily.

One floor is 3m or 10'. If you cannot increase altitude by this much for each floor you will not score any floors climbed.

Reset your step goal in Connect to 5 until you can move around more freely.

set your floor goal to 1 and ask a nurse to take it up a flight or 2.

Your goals are impacted by situation beyond your control 

Step is not a problem i regularly do steps in the room - either going around or stepping in place. Just make sure to swing your arms naturally. 

As for floors it's a bigger problem. I did floor step workout on hill sides but i had 20+ meters of height difference.

What you can try is this: hold your arm on the floor, start to do steps and raise your hand above your head. The also do steps and while doing the opposite. Do this 3-4 times and check if it counts as a floor.

Also add the total floors climbed and asceleration fields to your data screen and check them. 

If it works you might be able to "emulate" as many floors as you wish

unfortunatelly doesn"t work
Thanks anyway

The 3m ascent must be continuous. You can't go up 1m, down 1m, repeat three times, to make 3m.

If you go up 2.5m and down and repeat 100 times your floor count will be zero because you never completed a full 3m in one go. This is why floor counting is often so inaccurate. You go up 2.9m and it doesn't count. You go up 3m and it does count, or it should, but only if your arm movements meet expectations.

My suggestion is simply to take it easy with the challenge and accept that it's going to break one day anyway (and no-one except you will notice).

My life became much easier after I had to break (because of illness) my 400 day streak of >12000 steps. I know that I'm never going to repeat that, so now it's much easier to take it easy once in a while (and it's healthier as well).

Well, since more than 24 hours passed since the question was posted, probably he's now dealing with it (unless he broke out of the isolation)

Example from today of rubbish floor counting. I am at home - two story house. I have descended the stairs at least five times so far and ascended at least four times.

The watch shows five descents and one ascent. This is not possible unless I have been digging a hole beneath the property.

I will forgive one ascent since I was carrying a breakfast tray. All other ascents should be counted, but some are ignored.
