What exactly are moves?
Moves can be any form of intentional movement tracked by your phone.
For scale
- 5 flights of stairs is equal to 50 moves
- half an hour of walking is 200 moves
- half an hour of running is 400 moves
You can link your heart rate device or another application your use to share your activity data. This will record moves as it measures based on intensity recorded.
NOTE: If you do not link a device – the app will track all activity as incidental – you need to turn the tracking notification on at the time of setting up the app and MOVE with your phone on you, to ensure it calculates.
