Resuming Your Paused Training Status

least two VO2 max. measurements each week
Select an option:

• From your Garmin Connect settings, select Performance Stats > Training Status >
Status.
TIP: You should sync your device with your Garmin Connect account.

Viewing Your Fitness Age

Before the device can calculate an accurate fitness age, you must complete the user profile setup in the Garmin
Connect app.
Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your device
uses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history
to provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index
instead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age.
Select
> My Stats > Fitness Age.

Viewing Intensity Minutes

Before the device can calculate your intensity minutes, you must pair your device and go for a ride with a
compatible heart rate monitor
To improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes
per week of moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity activity. The Edge device,
when paired with a heart rate monitor, tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous activities,
your weekly intensity minutes goal, and progress toward your goal.
Select
> My Stats > Intensity Minutes.

Personal Records

When you complete a ride, the device displays any new personal records you achieved during that ride. Personal
records include your fastest time over a standard distance, longest ride, and most ascent gained during a ride.
When paired with a compatible power meter, the device displays the maximum power reading recorded during a
20-minute period.
