Activity Tracking

The activity tracking feature records your daily step count,

distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories

burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories

burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories.

The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps

widget. The step count is updated periodically.

For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric

accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.

Auto Goal

Your device creates a daily step goal automatically, based on

your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the

device shows your progress toward your daily goal

If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set a

personalized step goal on your Garmin Connect account.

Using the Move Alert

Sitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable

metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds you to keep

moving. After one hour of inactivity, Move! and the move bar

appear. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of

inactivity. The device also beeps or vibrates if audible tones are

turned on

(System Settings, page

Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the

move alert.

Sleep Tracking

While you are sleeping, the device automatically detects your

sleep and monitors your movement during your normal sleep

hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings

on your Garmin Connect account. Sleep statistics include total

hours of sleep, sleep levels, and sleep movement. You can view

your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account.

Intensity Minutes

To improve your health, organizations such as the U.S. Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Heart

Association

, and 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.
