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 when the activity data
view is open on the screen.
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 prac-
tical 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 active,
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 during 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 notification: It's time to move! is shown along with a small vibration. Stand up and find your own way to be act-
ive. Take a short walk, stretch, or do some other light activity. The message goes away when you start moving or
press any button.
If you don't get active in five minutes, you'll get an inactivity stamp. You can see the inactivity stamp in My day in the
Polar app below your daily activity data. You can also see how many inactivity stamps you've received each day in
the Polar Flow app and web service. This way you can check back on your daily routine and make changes towards a
more active life.
The inactivity alerts or stamps won't affect your progress towards reaching your daily activity goal.
