Change active minute goal on Android

[prenaud]

I can't figure out how to change my active minute goal. I try to follow these instructions, but they don't march what I have on my Fitbit app:

See How do I set or change my Fitbit goals?  

'Active Minutes' is under the 'Activity' subject.

Thanks, but I can't see active minutes. See image...

Strange.  Mine shows 'Active Minutes' there between 'Calories' and 'Floors'.

I suggest trying it from the fitbit.com dashboard (in web browser) instruction of my above link:

• fitbit.com dashboard
  1. On the fitbit.com dashboard, hover your cursor over the bottom of the tile you want to adjust. For example, to change your weight goal, hover over the bottom of the weight tile.
  2. Click the gear icon
  3. Adjust your goal information.
     
  4. Click Save or Done to confirm your changes.

Yay! Thank you so much.

While I'm at it, I still don't understand the heart rate number in the top tile. I get an average of 514 minutes while I get an average of 292 active minutes. What does 514 represent?

[JohnnyRow]

If you mean on the fitbit.com dashboard for a time period other than daily, it labels the top number "Time in Zones". That mean basically total time above 50% of your max heart rate; combined fat-burn zone + cardio zone, + peak zone, without regard to the 10-minute requirement of active minutes.

See What are heart-rate zones?

Awesome! Thanks again. Have a nice weekend.

Maybe one last question. Just curious...

For the 10-minute requirement of active minutes. If I do 15 consecutive active minutes, would the Fitbit count 5 or 15 minutes? I believe Google Fit would count 5 minutes and ignore the 1st 10 minutes. I may be wrong though.

[JohnnyRow]

Fitbit would give 15 active minutes.  Watch your tracker while you are walking - at 10 minutes, active minutes will jump from 0 to 10, then increase each additional minute.

I know nothing about Google Fit.

Excellent! I don't want to go crazy over Firbit stats, but it's nice to
understand how they work. Thanks again.
