I used my Blaze to track weight lifting. I worked out for 40 minutes and my heart rate was between 98-125. While the activity is showing on my dashboard, it isn't registered as active minutes on my Fitbit. But the 28 minutes I spent walking around the grocery store is. Why? My heart rate certainly wasn't elevated while shopping.

Hey there @EricaRM, welcome to the Community!

 

Remember that to earn active minutes, you need to be a high intense activity and be constant in it. I recommend taking a look at the What are active minutes? article and see how you can earn active minutes.

 

I hope this helps, catch you later. Woman Happy
