ACTIVITY GOAL

Daily activity goal is a good way to find out how active you really are in your everyday life. Choose
your typical activity level from three options and see how active you need to be to reach your daily activ-
ity goal.
The time you need to complete your daily activity goal depends on the level you have chosen and the
intensity of your activities. Age and gender also affect the intensity you need to reach your daily activity
goal.
Level 1
If your day includes only a little sports and a lot of sitting, commuting by car or public transport and so
on, we recommend you pick this activity level.
Level 2
If you spend most of your day on your feet, perhaps due to the type of work you do or your daily
chores, this is the right activity level for you.
Level 3
If your work is physically demanding, you're into sports or otherwise tend to be on the move and active,
this is the activity level for you.

PREFERRED SLEEP TIME

Set Your preferred sleep time to define how long you aim to sleep every night. By default, it is set to
the average recommendation for your age group (eight hours for adults from 18 to 64 years). If you feel
that eight hours of sleep is too much or too little for you, we recommend you adjust your preferred
sleep time to meet your individual needs. By doing this, you'll get accurate feedback on how much sleep
you got in comparison to your preferred sleep time.
