Events
The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns,

the event type and duration on your Garmin Connect timeline,
but they do not appear in your activities list, snapshots, or
newsfeed. For more detail and accuracy, you can record a timed
activity on your device.
Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the World Health
Organization recommend at least 150 minutes per week of
moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes
per week of vigorous intensity activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time
spent participating in moderate to vigorous intensity activities
(heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). You
can work toward achieving your weekly intensity minutes goal by
participating in at least 10 consecutive minutes of moderate to
vigorous intensity activities. The device adds the amount of
moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity
minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when
added.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your Forerunner device calculates intensity minutes by
comparing your heart rate data to your average resting heart
rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate
intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per minute.
Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of
intensity minutes.
4 Activity Tracking
Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or
vigorous intensity level.
Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate
resting heart rate.
Sleep Tracking
While you are sleeping, the device automatically detects your
sleep and monitors your movement during your normal sleep
hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings
on your Garmin Connect account. Sleep statistics include total
hours of sleep, sleep levels, and sleep movement. You can view
your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account.
NOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use
do not disturb mode to turn off notifications and alerts, with the
exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 5).

alerts, and vibration alerts. For example, you can use this mode
while sleeping or watching a movie.

About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase
their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A
heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5
according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 8) to determine the best
heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
Letting the Device Set Your Heart Rate Zones
The default settings allow the device to detect your maximum
heart rate and set your heart rate zones as a percentage of your
maximum heart rate.
Verify that your user profile settings are accurate (Setting Up
Your User Profile, page 11).
Run often with the wrist or chest heart rate monitor.
View your heart rate trends using your Garmin Connect
account.
Setting Your Maximum Heart Rate
The device uses your user profile information from the initial

A notification appears to display your first VO2 max. estimate
and each time your VO2 max. increases.
8 Heart Rate Features
About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you
can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your
maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an
indication of athletic performance and should increase as your
level of fitness improves. The Forerunner device requires wrist-
based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to
display your VO2 max. estimate.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number,
description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin
Connect account, you can view additional details about your
VO2 max. estimate, including your fitness age. Your fitness age
gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of
the same gender and different age. As you exercise, your fitness
age can decrease over time.

Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Stress level is the result of a three-minute test performed while
standing still, where the Forerunner device analyzes heart rate
variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep,
nutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner
performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a
very low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state.
Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is
ready for a tough training run or yoga.
Using the Stress Level Widget
