Distance for the day - only from walking/steps; does not include cycling.

 

Active minutes - Active minutes have a precise definition other than just generally beinig active.  They require a certain level of intensity maintained continuously for at least 10 minutes.  If you stopped pedaling or coasted downhill a while, your heart rate might have dropped enough to not meet the criteria.

See Active Minutes .

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