The Activity Score is a daily reflection of your physical activity, blending various aspects of your movement into a single, insightful measure. It’s a blend of science and lifestyle, designed to capture the essence of your day’s activities. Here’s how it all comes together:
-
Exercise Time: This counts the minutes you dedicate to exercise, whether it’s a morning jog, an evening gym session, or a weekend hike. Every bit of exercise adds value to your score, acknowledging your effort to stay fit.
-
Stand Time: It’s not just about vigorous exercise; even the time you spend standing and moving around counts. This part of the score recognizes the importance of breaking sedentary habits and keeping your body active throughout the day.
-
Active Energy Burned: This measures the calories you burn through all your physical activities. It’s a key indicator of how your movements, from the most strenuous to the most subtle, contribute to your overall energy expenditure.
-
Distances Travelled: Every distance you cover, be it walking, running, cycling, swimming, or engaging in snow sports, adds to your score. This component celebrates your mobility and the diverse ways you choose to stay active.
-
Coverage: Here we consider steps taken and strokes swum. It’s about quantifying the everyday movements that contribute to your overall activity, acknowledging the smaller, yet significant, efforts you make to stay active.
-
Distance Wheelchair: For those using a wheelchair, this component ensures inclusivity by tracking the distance covered in a wheelchair. It’s an essential aspect of the score, ensuring that everyone’s efforts are recognized and valued.
Your Activity Score is a mirror reflecting the various shades of your physical activity. It’s not just a number but a representation of your dedication to an active lifestyle. By tracking and understanding this score, you can set goals, monitor progress, and celebrate the small victories in your journey towards health and wellness.
