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). 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 Forerunner 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.
• Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.
