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.
  • 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.
