My active minutes seem high... about double my actual workout. I just did a 25 min run/jog and it's showing as 44 active minutes. Any idea why?

Are you sure you mean active minutes, not zone minutes?  For zone minutes, you get double for time in cardio and peak zones.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

@JohnnyRow Thanks for your input. 

 

@Salinajames Welcome to the Fitbit Community. 

 

As described by our Community Council member, the reason why you're getting more Active Zone Minutes is because you'll earn them for the time spent in the fat burn, cardio, or peak heart rate zones.

 

Note that Fitbit Charge 4, Fitbit Inspire 2, Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit Luxe, Fitbit Sense, and Fitbit Versa series track Active Zone Minutes. All other devices track active minutes. Learn more about it in this article. 

 

Hope this helps.
