Inactivity Alert - Polar Electro M430 User Manual

You'll be able to see the progress of your daily activity goal in the time view if you choose "Jumbo" (the
default watch face) or "Activity" as your watch face. In the Jumbo watch face, the watch face fills up as you
move towards reaching your daily activity goal. In the Activity watch face, the circle around the date and time
shows your progress towards your daily activity goal. The circle fills up as you are active. You can change the
watch face by pressing and holding UP.

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. Your M430 spots if you're being inactive for too long
during your day and this way helps you to break up your sitting to avoid the negative effects it has on your
health.
If you've been still for 55 minutes, you'll get an inactivity alert: It's time to move is shown along with a small
vibration. Stand up and find your own way to be active. Take a short walk, stretch, or do some other light
activity. The message goes away when you start moving or press either of the buttons. If you don't get active
in five minutes, you'll get an inactivity stamp, which you can see on the Flow app and Flow web service after
syncing. The Flow app and Flow web service show you the whole history of how many inactivity stamps you
have received. This way you can check back on your daily routine and make changes towards a more active
life.
•
Active time: Active time tells you the cumulative time of body move-
ments that benefit your health.
•
Calories: Shows how many calories you've burned through training, activ-
ity and BMR (Basal metabolic rate: the minimum metabolic activity
required to maintain life).
•
Steps: Steps you've taken so far. The amount and type of body move-
ments are registered and turned into an estimation of steps
•
To go: Your M430 gives you options for reaching your daily activity goal.
It tells you how much longer you need to be active if you choose low,
medium or high intensity activities. You have one goal, but a number of
ways to achieve it. The daily activity goal can be reached at low, medium or
high intensities. In the M430, 'up' means low intensity, 'walking' means
medium intensity, and 'jogging' means high intensity. You can find more
examples for low, medium and high intensity activities at the Flow web ser-
vice and mobile app and choose the best way of reaching your goal.
