Intensity Minutes

To improve your health, organizations such as 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 to quantify vigorous intensity). 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 the amount of moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous
activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when added.

Earning Intensity Minutes

Your Instinct device calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data 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.
• Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.
Garmin Move IQ
Events
The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns, such as walking, running, biking, swimming, and
elliptical training, for at least 10 minutes. You can view the event type and duration on your Garmin Connect
timeline, but they do not appear in your activities list, snapshots, or newsfeed. For more detail and accuracy, you
can record a timed activity on your device.
