Today it has reported I have a readiness score of 6, because I logged "Intense Activity" of 15 zone minutes yesterday. I should now "focus on recovery" for Christmas Eve. 😉

Did you even tap on your readiness score to see what it is based on?  You seem to think it is based only o zone minutes, and that is not correct.

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

Yes I did. It is showing

 

Activity: Intense

Recent Sleep: Moderate

Heart Rate variability: Average

 

When I click on Activity, it says: "Way to go above and beyond! Yesterday you earned 15 zone mins, much higher than your weekly average. It's important to make time for recovery".

 

All of this is correct, but the advice is still funny 😄

Sorry.  I guess I misunderstood.  I thought you meant 'hilarious' as outrageously unreasonable, rather than literally funny.

Enjoy the holidays!

@Magicaldeck   I had a similar experience with my readiness score.  I wasn’t able to exercise like I wanted to in my first 14 days.  I had the baseline of a lazy person.  Even though I got more active, I was advised to recover after an “intense” 10 zone minute day.  I think it’s all based on that first 14 days.

 

I decided to delete all my readiness data and withdraw my consent.  I am starting over on New Year’s Day.  I want to start with a baseline that is more like me.  I hope it works.  The data is gone, but I think my readiness score was 3 for that day.

That's a great idea @LZeeW. Call it a New Year's Resolution.

Unfortunately Santa Claus didn't bring me a Charge 5 😠 and unfortunately Charge 4 doesn't support The Readiness Score even if I'm a premium user.

@LZeeW I will be patient since I think the score is still adjusting to me. I got a score of 1 the past couple of days. Hopefully it'll get better in about a week.
