Walking as a Low Aerobic Activity

My 945 LTE shows that I am overdoing High Aerobic and underdoing Low Aerobic. I tried walking quickly for half an hour as a Walk activity. I stayed mostly in Zone 1 but with some Zone 2. There was no change in my Low Aerobic 7-day load; it stayed at 103. Does Walking contribute, or just Running, Cycling and Swimming. If it does, about how much walking would add at least one point?

In my experience garmin doesn't give you a lot of low aerobic points for walk activity. If you did the same walk but with run selected, you would have gotten more low aerobic points. You can also try running in the first half of Zone 2 for 30 to 60 minutes to get some low aerobic points.

I received 5 points for a 13 minute walk the other day on my 945 LTE. 11 minutes in zone 1, 2 minutes in hr zone 2.
