device records your progress toward your daily goal . Your
device begins with a default goal of 7,500 steps per day.
If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can disable it

Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of
inactivity.
NOTE: You can reset the move bar by walking a short
distance.
Viewing the Heart Rate Widget
The heart rate widget displays your current heart rate in beats
per minute (bpm). For more information on heart rate accuracy,
go to garmin.com/ataccuracy .
Swipe to view the heart rate widget.
The widget shows your current heart rate and your resting
heart rate ( About Heart Rate Zones , page 12 ).
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 vívosmart 4 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.
• 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.
Improving Calorie Accuracy
The device displays an estimate of your total calories burned for
the current day. You can improve the accuracy of this estimate
by walking briskly for up to 15 minutes.
