From the several articles I read regarding how active minutes are calculated, it is my understanding that you have to be doing the activity for 10 minutes before it starts counting as active minutes.
Yesterday, I achieved 6 active minutes. How is that possible? I did not manually log any exercises, so the only thing measured would have been my steps picked up by my Flex.
Thanks!

@SunsetRunner That's a good question!

Active minutes are awarded after the Fitbit tracker detects 10 minutes of continuous moderate-to-intense activity; at no point are active minutes awarded in 10 minute blocks.

For more information about active minutes, I'd recommend checking out this help article.

Hope this provides some clarification!
