Physical Activity (Coming Soon)

Description
Physical Activity is a smart metric that summarizes how much movement you’re doing across the day (and often how intense that movement is). Depending on the device, it may be based on steps, heart-rate zones, “active minutes,” and workout detection. The exact algorithm varies—so the most useful insight is your personal trend.
Why it matters
Consistent activity is one of the highest‑leverage behaviors for cardiometabolic health. Higher activity levels are associated with better blood pressure, glucose regulation, mood, and long-term cardiovascular risk. Lower activity often shows up during stress, poor sleep, illness, pain, or demanding work schedules—and it can be an early signal that recovery needs attention.
How to use it
Track weekly totals and consistency, not just today.
Pair with strength training tracking (for muscle) and steps (for baseline movement).
If activity is dropping, look for the bottleneck: sleep, schedule, pain, motivation, or recovery.
Educational only, not medical advice. If you have symptoms with activity (chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath beyond expected), seek medical evaluation before increasing intensity.
