Under My day, you can view your day's accumulated activity in more detail and get guidance on how to reach
your daily activity goal.
•
Steps: Steps you've taken so far. The amount and type of body movements are registered and turned into
an estimation of steps.
•
Distance: Distance you've covered so far. The distance calculation is based on your height and the steps
you've taken.
•
Calories: Shows how many calories you've burned through training, activity and BMR (Basal metabolic
rate: the minimum metabolic activity required to maintain life).
You can quickly open the activity display from the home screen if you have Polar Jumbo as your watch face. Just
tap the light blue activity icon.
To see what you should still do to reach your activity goal for the day, tap the activity data view. You'll get
options for how long you need to be active if you choose low, medium or high intensity activities. In the sug-
gestions, 'up' means low intensity, 'walking' means medium intensity, and 'jogging' means high intensity. With
practical guidance like '50 minutes walking' or '20 minutes jogging', you can choose how to reach your goal
today.
You'll find more examples for low, medium and high intensity activities from the Polar Flow app and the Polar
Flow web service.
If you're using a Polar watch face, when you reach your daily activity goal, you'll get a vibrating alert.
INACTIVITY ALERT
It's widely known that physical activity is a major factor in maintaining health. In addition to being physically act-
ive, it's important to avoid prolonged sitting. Sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health even on those
days when you train and gain enough daily activity. The Polar app spots if you're being inactive for too long dur-
ing your day and helps you to break up your sitting to avoid the negative effects it has on your health.
Whichever activity level you've set for your daily activity goal, if you've been still for 55 minutes, you'll get an
inactivity alert card: It's time to move is shown along with a small vibration. Stand up and find your own way
