Auto Goal

Your device creates a daily step goal automatically, based on
your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the
device shows your progress toward your daily goal

personalized step goal on your Garmin Connect account.

metabolic state changes. The move bar reminds you to keep
moving. After one hour of inactivity, the move bar
Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of
inactivity.
You can reset the move bar by walking a short distance.
Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Heart
Association ® , and the World Health Organization, recommend at
least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity, such
as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity
activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time
spent participating in moderate to vigorous intensity activities
(heart rate data is required). You can work toward achieving
your weekly intensity minutes goal by participating in at least 10
consecutive minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity activities.
The device adds up the amount of moderate activity minutes
with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous
intensity minutes are doubled when being added.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your Approach X40 device calculates intensity minutes by
comparing your heart rate data during an activity to your
average resting heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device
calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps
per minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of
intensity minutes.
• Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or
vigorous intensity level.
