Is this possible: Only my Cardio minutes

[Blacktulipgirl]

Edit: I misunderstood 😂 I wasn't supposed to only be charting the cardio minutes... Luckily I saw him and he corrected me before I burnt out 🥵

Thanks for all your help guys, sorry I got it wrong 🙄

Hi fellow FitBiters 😁

My exercise physiologist advised me that he wants me to aim for 150 minutes in the moderate heart rate to start, and that aligns with my cardio minutes in the FitBit app. However I have to go through the rigamarole of dividing my Active Zone minutes by two and only those in the cardio or peak range, not the fat burning. I'm annoyed that I'm having to do this tally daily with a pen and paper!!! In 2022!!! 🤬

Is there a way to do this in the FitBit app that I am just not seeing!? 

I am running app version 3.58 on an Oppo Find X2 Pro, Android 12. I have a Fitbit Sense.

Thanks everyone, let me know if there is more info needed to get to the bottom of this!!!

@Blacktulipgirl 

 to be sure, your exercise physiologist wants you to get 150 min in the fat burn (moderate) zone, and none from cardio and Peak? If that is the case, you can add your own target zone within the Fitbit App: 

Tap your profile picture -> Activity -> HR Zones -> Custom Zone 

 For Fatburn, or moderate zone, set your upper limit to 69% of your MAX Hr, and lower limit to 50 % of MAX. For example: If your MAX HR is 175 Upper limit = 121 Lower limit = 88

Offhand I can't think of any way to easily get what you want, but

I wonder if there is some confusion about the heart rate zones, and if your exercise physiologist fully understands the Fitbit calculations.  I only say this because I believe Fitbit's 150 minute goal including fat burn zone is based on recommendations of American Heart Association and CDC.

Getting 150 cardio minutes would double that recommendation.

No in the Cardio and Peak range, not fat burning. Is that possible? Thanks for your help in advance ☺️

Hi JR he's going off of the Australian Government Physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines. They can be found here: https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/physical-activity-and-sedentary-behaviour-guideline...

For what they consider moderate activity is actually my Cardio range, so above my fat burning range. What they consider vigorous is the cardio to peak range. 

So I just want to see the cardio and peak range minutes, not the fat burning. 

Hope that makes sense?

Also LA is there a way to see the results of this over time like in a graph or chart?

@Blacktulipgirl Set your MAX HR as the upper limit and 70% of MAX HR as lower limit. It shows up as an extra zone in additiion to the three custom  zones in the app. I have not  used it myself, so I am not 100% certain how many days or weeks or...you can find in the app for custom zone. All data are saved so if you can't see it for a longer period of time, it shouldn't be a problem to export the data to excel.
