Vigorous days and fitness age.

Thanks. I'm surprised that I can't click the cards and get any info.

It shows it here when you tap on “increase vigorous minutes”

Not only did it reset to 0 on Sunday but yesterday I had 33 minutes of vigorous activity on the elliptical and it still is showing 0 days.  I made sure that my vigorous HR was at least 5 minutes in duration each time before stopping to take a drink of water.

Yes, this is the screenshot I attached to my previous post, but as I wrote there, this information was already removed from the Help screen, both on the Android, and on the iOS GCM app. I assume, you still have an older version of the app. The only information still remaining public, is the one shown on the other screenshot of the previous post. It tells you need at least 15 vigorous minutes within a 30 minutes long time period. I guess that's the current way it works.

Is it still continuous?  Seems like they aren’t taking into account any HIIT exercise then as rest / walk periods will slow your HR down below vigorous.  This should increase your fitness age, not lower it.  Seems counter intuitive.

I have ver 4.53.1, dated 2 weeks ago.  It doesn’t show a newer version when I look on the IOS App Store.

I have 4.53.1.2 on iOS and 4.53 on Android. The info about 5 minutes disappeared from both of them

That’s odd because it’s still on mine and I’m on the latest IOS version also.

They only tell 15 vigorous minutes within 30 min time period. I do not know more than that.

The type of the activity is irrelevant, the only thing that counts is your HR, and your avg. Resting HR. Alternatively (if you do not use the default IM method), it is the HR, and the HR Zones settings. It does not matter whether you play chess, or do HIIT. As long as your HR is high enough for certain time, you'll get the vigorous minutes.

You wrote you have 4.53.1. I have 4.53.1.2
