Why does vigorous minute always x2?

Why? What's the logic behind this? For all my activities, the vigorous minutes always x2?

  • Why? What's the logic behind this? For all my activities, the vigorous minutes always x2?

    why not? it's just a way to make you move more and to move faster, of course they can develop some complex scale but i would just make things harder to grasp, so they keep things simple and effective.

  • How is it making people to move more since the vigorous minute already times 2. Meaning that I just did 20 minutes but thanks to their system, it doubles up. So it records me as 40 minutes. If I didn’t check I would have already assumed that I reached my target and move even lesser.

  • Because "Vigorous" intensity is defined basically as twice as effective as "moderate" intensity. Basically similar to how a walk uses up far less energy than a run. Normally there's a HR threshold set that defines a vigorous minute as having a much higher HR rate than a moderate one. Hence your activities are much more intensive than others.
