Please explain the active minutes on the dashboard.  I walked for 35 minutes on a treadmill this morning.  I had over 4000 steps when I stopped 35 minutes later.  My dashboard says that I had 4 active minutes.  I thought it would be the time I spent walking.  Please explain.

What you see on your Dashboard are very active minutes. These are harder to earn: merely walking is not enough, you have to walk fast enough. If you click on the + button of the VAM tile, you will see your active minutes split between: very, moderate and light. You need to select the ALL tab:
