Intensity minutes

2015TEST2015

Recently my intensity minutes are not counting. All workouts are recorded but they don't sum up on the intensity dash board.  Just happens this week.  Anyone knows why this is happening now and how to fix it

    Maybe you did not do any. From the document How Does the Intensity Minutes Feature Work on My Garmin Watch?:

    • "In order to earn intensity minutes credit, you must reach or exceed 10 consecutive minutes where your heart rate is elevated above the threshold that is considered moderate intensity."

    The exact algorithm for assigning the thresholds for moderate and vigorous intensities may differ, depending on the watch model, and on some models you can even adjust it, but typically the moderate intensity is somewhere around 150% of the Resting HR (RHR) for given day (see it on the HR card on the MyDay screen of the Garmin Connect Mobile app), and around 200% of the RHR for the vigorous intensity. For having the RHR properly logged, you have to wear the watch during rest (and/or during sleep), otherwise the reading will be too high, and in the consequence the thresholds too elevated.
