Allow us to move or delete Cardio Load prompt

There is a new Activity called Cardio Load on my home page and I cannot move or delete it. I don't care about it. I want to see my Steps on the top of the list and now I can't see them because of this new Activity and the size of my iPhone mini. This is ridiculous.

Thank you for your service, ElleJay, and I'm sorry the cardio nag pop up is so annoying.  It is to the rest of us, too!  I don't understand why Google doesn't fix this!

I agree with the others - It's annoying to have to x out of the cardio load prompt all the time.  Worse for me is that it's either trying to kill me or telling me to take it easy when I've taken rest days.  When I'm in a training cycle for a running or cycling event, I have a plan and the cardio load suggestions are completely bonkers.

This cardio load feature takes no account of the fact that my life exists outside of exercising. If i have to go away for a couple of days for work, annoying messages pop up telling me I've been doing no training. I know. I am acutely aware of this. Conversely, when i went skiing for 3 days, on day 3 it told me I'd been working really hard, and should have a rest day. No. I'm skiing today. Stupid feature.

Much like the hundreds of other comments, it's demented that you psychos at Google won't just ADD A GODDAMN TOGGLE ALREADY!!! Is it going to take someone dying before the developers wake up and take this absolutely shameful cardio prompt out. It's a disgusting prompt that merely shames people of all abilities into either under or overtraining. It's a useless metric to me and thousands of others yet you keep going "upvote this thread and maybe we'll pretend to care!".

I agree with others. We can personalize what we can to see. Let us delete or move it. Everything else is optional; that’s should be too!

I told them if they weren’t going to offer support I wanted my money back for the two watches that I recently purchased. This is the response I got earlier:

This is my second comment. Agree with others who have noted the inconsistency between cardio load target and readiness score. Was in bed all day yesterday (12 hours logged sleep) downed by COVID. Resting heart rate and breathing rate are higher than normal, heart rate variability is below normal. Instead of putting the clues together, the stupid cardio load popup chirpily tells me I need to "stay on track" to maintain my cardio fitness. First, I was just annoyed I couldn't toggle off the message. Now I'm annoyed that the guidance is so irresponsible. Please do better, Google.
