Graphic for cardio load target

[Consul]

Can someone explain the graphic for "your past 7 days training". A line with 6 blocks of colour and a dot which presumably represents your activity or fitness. What do the colours represent?

Hi @Consul.  This is Google's explanation:

The black dot is you.

Thank you . I gathered that. But what the position mean?

Hello @Consul 

If you are asking about the position of the black dot, that represents where you are for Cardio load based on your last 7 days of activity and your fitness goal. 

For example, I have my Cardio Load fitness goal set to Maintain. I'll look at where my dot is on the line graph. If it's in the Maintain region, then I'm doing good. If it's in the Over-training, then I need to take it easy to get my dot back into the Maintain region. Same for Under-training. 

I pay more attention to where my dot is on the line graph than always trying to meet the suggested Cardio Target Load range. 

Please let us know if this answered your question.

Thanks. I understand now. Fitbit could still explain it, rather than rely on the graphics and text which are by no means obvious.

Hello @Consul 

Thanks for letting us know that you have a better understanding. 

You might not be aware that there's a whole library of Fitbit help pages. For example, this help page (<-- click) has more information on Cardio Load and Cardio Target Load. Although I'm not sure that it would have helped you understand the line graph and the dot, you've got a good starting resource for your questions. 

And, if you don't understand the information on the help pages, we're here to share our experiences & knowledge.
