FR 255 Music Counting steps during strength exercises

I have noticed that during my strength exercises (workout) without any activity started on my Garmin it has counted the arm movements as steps.
This is standard behavior and or we have some abnormal behavior?
Does anyone have this behavior?

The way the watch counts steps, is to measure rhytmic patterns of your wrist. I think Garmin are among the best to filter out movements that are not walking, but it is never 100 percent correct.

I see, but in this case the wrist movement is left to right and not from top to bottom as when walking. I noticed this in 2 workouts. Try in your garmin.

But the movements when walking can also be very different. Sometimes you carry something, and expect the watch to count. I record thousands of steps in my strength workouts, since I like to walk a lot between my sets.
