Make anaerobic activities count towards Active Zone Minutes

It's great to use the AHA's reccomendations. But fitbit didnt do it right! The AHA's recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week is only for aerobic activity (e.g., running, walking, biking). This means that any anaerobic activity (e.g., weight lifting) DOES NOT count towards that. It needs to be changed to reflect this!
