Hi everyone! 

 
My Versa 2 updated not long ago adding the active minutes.
 
Im a little confused on how these work as for example today I tracked a 29 minutes run that recorded 51 active minutes, on Monday I tracked a 35 minutes run and it recorded 63 active minutes and so on.
 
How are my active minutes recorded more than the lenght of the exercise? 
 
Am I not getting how these work?

For Active Zone Minutes, you receive one Active Zone Minute for each minute that your average heart rate for that minute is in the Fat Burn Zone. You receive two Active Zone Minutes for each minute your average heart rate is in either the Cardio or Peak zone.
