“Weights” session sync

[Gemma83]

I’ve completed 15 mins of weights . Which has shown up on my days of activity , however it hasn’t added to my active minutes . Any idea why?

"Active minutes" are earned while doing cardio workouts and high intensity activities like jogging and running. Note that your active minute count will be lower for activities that are not primarily step-based, such as weight lifting, cycling, and rowing.

All Fitbit trackers calculate active minutes using metabolic equivalents (METs). MET is a unit used to represent the amount of oxygen used by a body during physical activity; therefore, MET can be used as an indicator for intensity of physical activities. For example, a MET of 1 indicates a body at rest. Active minutes are earned for all minutes above a certain MET value based on the thresholds we have established. Simply put, active minutes correlate to a greater amount of activity over the course of 60-second intervals.
