What constitutes active minutes? The other day I did 43 minutes aerobics and it only recorded 12 active minutes. What does it think I was doing for half an hour, sitting round doing nothing?

It depends on your intensity as measured by heart rate.

See What are Active Zone Minutes or active minutes on my Fitbit device? 

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

Thanks for they link. Although I'm still a bit lost as I can go for a twenty minute walk, which is majority in the fat burn zone and it records all the fat burn minutes as active minutes, but doesn't do so for aerobics, it only counts peak and cardio (as it says in the link you provided). I don't get why it counts fat burn for walking but not aerobics. Then there's also the issue of any time spent on my exercise bike doesn't count as any active minutes at all, frustratingly so 🙁
