Zone minutes sudden rapid increase

[Kathylynn103]

Something going on with fitbit zone minutes today?  I usually fight to get up to 23, I've got 104 today and all I did was yoga!

Hello @Kathylynn103 

I haven't seen any other reports of AZM issue today.

What does your heart rate zones graph show for your activity?  What does your heart rate graph look like for the time of your activity?

[Kathylynn103]

HR  not real crazy, mostly moderate zone 97m, 8m vigorous.  I was upset earlier,  maybe it just picked up on that.  Just odd for me! 

Thanks for your response!

Hi @Kathylynn103 

If you were upset earlier that definitely could have caused a spike in your AZM.

Just to share a personal example. Earlier this year, I had to travel by plane for the first time since February 2020 and attend a conference with people from all over the USA. I managed not to get Covid during the height of the pandemic and afterwards. My anxiety level was in maximum overload, resulting in high AZM numbers for the week before the trip. This experience indicates to me that strong emotions definitely have an impact on our AZM / heart rate.

PS: I had a great time at the conference and managed to stay well during & after the trip.

Wow, that's so crazy!  But it must have been stress/anxiety because everything is back to normal now.  Glad to hear you had a successful trip and thanks so much for sharing!

I recently went from an Inspire 2, to a Charge 6.With the Inspire 2, I struggled to get my AZM every day unless I actually exercised but with the Charge 6 I have done them within half an hour of getting up in the morning and making breakfast! What is going on?

Hello @Mickey66 

What is your daily AZM goal?

What does your AZM & heart rate graphs look like for the period where you got all the AZM?
