I'm figuring out there is a difference between the type of activity I record on my Vivoactive. I used to just record everything as walking as it felt like that was the type of activity I normally do. However, now I think I'm going to record everything as running. I debated what to use since I have been using an elliptical machine.
The reason for the revelation was when I saw the Calories section on Connect Mobile. On that view and others, it shows a split between walking and running. When I track my activities as walking, there is just one solid bar of all walking calories. If I tract my activities as running, however, I can see at a glance how many calories were due to normal daily output, and how many are due to my workout. It gives new meaning to what I'm doing.
Actually I would like to see Garmin modify those graphs to show activity calories vs. normal calories. Then it wouldn't matter what category I choose.
