l
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 M400, '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.
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 M400 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 almost an hour, you'll get an inactivity alert -
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 any button. 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.
You can set the alert on or off in
The Flow app gives the same notification if it has a Bluetooth connection to your M400.
Both the Polar Flow app and the Polar Flow web service will show you how many inactivity stamps you have
received. This way you can check back on your daily routine and make changes toward a more active life.
