Inspire HR not recording active minutes

[SunsetRunner]

My inspire hr hasn’t recorded active minutes today. It shows 0 on the watch and 0 on the app. I have reset it a couple times and it hasn’t worked.

Hi, @SunsetRunner , your Inspire HR will only award active minutes if it detects activity more than just regular walking.  Here is some information from the Fitbit help site:

“Your Fitbit device recognizes and awards active minutes when the activity you're doing is more strenuous than regular walking, which includes everything from a brisk walk to a cardio workout or run.

HOW DO I EARN ACTIVE MINUTES?

Fitbit devices calculate active minutes using metabolic equivalents (METs). METs help measure the energy expenditure of various activities. Because they do so in a comparable way among persons of different weights, METs are widely used as indicators for exercise intensity. For example, a MET of 1 indicates a body at rest. Fitbit devices estimate your MET value in any given minute by calculating the intensity of your activity.

You earn active minutes for activities at or above about 3 METs.  To stay in line with the Center for Disease Control's (CDC’s) “10 minutes at a time is fine” concept, minutes are only awarded after 10 minutes of continuous moderate-to-intense activity. You can view the CDC’s recommendations on the CDC website. 

If the same activity gives you active minutes one day and fewer active minutes the next day, remember that the intensity of exercise is key. Often what seems like the exact same amount of effort over the same distance in fact differs slightly enough to change your active minutes total.”
