Yesterday’s move report is a short message that analyzes your activity levels so that you can quickly see if you’re doing enough to support your health.

This message is based on your yesterday’s step count and heart rate data from Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, or Garmin Connect and includes:

If you use Apple Watch, you can also compare the progress you make on your smart goals with the progress from your Apple Watch. Just tap the rings you want to check out.

If you have another fitness tracker, the report will look like this:

If you didn’t wear a fitness tracker that sent us your heart rate yesterday, you’ll get a report with just two numbers based on your step count.

Note that some fitness trackers (like Fitbit) can’t write your data to Apple Health or other aggregators. In this case, we won’t be able to send you the move report.

Move report messages are only available in Welltory Premium.

The key difference between them is the level of personalization. Our goals take into account your lifestyle, how you felt yesterday, and how active you’ve been over the past week.

For example, we won’t set ambitious goals if you spent last week running marathons or if your HRV measurement results reflect that you’re not well today.

That’s why you may hit your Welltory smart goals but not Apple Watch rings — and still get enough physical activity to support your health.

If you use Apple Watch, this metric shows how many calories you burnt yesterday. And if you have another tracker, you’ll see how many steps you took yesterday. The percentage shows how close you were to your yesterday’s goal. And short tips next to your goals will help you see if you need more movement (or a couch) in your life.

The goal set in your fitness tracker is helpful, but you have to change it manually if you want to progress.

Our goal self-adjusts daily, adapting to your lifestyle and progress on its own. We take the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) as the baseline and then personalize your goal according to your recent activity, lifestyle, and how you’re feeling today.

We won’t push you to go all out if you’re under the weather or just starting your journey to a healthier you. We automatically adjust your goal daily, so you don’t have to manually do it on your tracker and can clearly see your progress as your goals get higher.

Not exactly. This goal is here to help you maintain your cardiovascular health, so you need to get your heart rate up to meet it — stretching or light yoga won’t do the trick here, even though those are good for you as well.

The faster your heart beats, the quicker your progress bar gets to 100%. For example, a HIIT routine will likely help you reach your goal faster than a brisk walk — because HIIT makes your heart work harder.

It’s more personalized, flexible, and progress-focused.

For example, Apple Watch sets a healthy 30-minute goal every day. However, it may become too easy for you in the long run, and you might want to switch to something more challenging. You can do it, of course, but only manually. And if you haven’t nailed the science of exercise yet, you might get lost in calculations of a reasonable goal for your improved body — it takes time and effort to figure out what works best for you.
​
That’s why we developed a goal that changes every day and gets you to an activity level that works best for your body and lifestyle.

Your Stand/Stand-ups goal progress shows the number of hours in which you stood up and moved for at least three consecutive minutes.

This goal will help you sit less and move more throughout the day, contributing to a healthier lifestyle. If you keep hitting this goal consistently, you’ll likely lower your blood pressure, relieve back pain and neck pain, increase energy levels, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and get lots of other health benefits.

Again, it’s personalized for you and your lifestyle. For example, your Apple Watch wants you to stand up and move for one minute straight during 12 different hours in the day. Naturally, this can help you be less sedentary and more healthy.

But what if you are a really active person? And you don’t need to get up every hour of your day to keep staying active? Then, you’ll need the goal to adjust to your daily routine and change along with your habits.

Our goal takes into account you and everything about you. Plus, to hit our goal, you’ll need to stretch those legs for three minutes straight instead of just one. This number is a result of our internal research. We analyzed our users’ anonymous data and concluded that 180–300 steps are enough for a healthy stand-up. Then, we translated this number into minutes using a special formula for your convenience.

It’s most likely you took your fitness tracker off, or there is another reason we didn’t get your step count from yesterday.

We need at least your step count to generate a report with two numbers. And both your step count and heart rate data to create a full report with all three numbers.

If you want to see move reports in your feed, make sure your fitness tracker shares its data with Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, or Garmin Connect. Or that at least your aggregator tracks your step count.

Note that some fitness trackers (like Fitbit) can’t write your data to Apple Health or other aggregators. In this case, we won’t be able to send you the move report.

If you’ve checked that your fitness tracker saves your steps data and shares it with Welltory, but aren’t getting the report, send us a bug report:

If we don’t have your heart rate data from yesterday, we can’t see how much intense exercise you got. In this case, you’ll get a report with two numbers.

To get reports that include your Exercise/Cardio goal as well, wear a fitness tracker that measures your heart rate and make sure it’s synced with Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, or Garmin Connect.

Intense physical exercise is about cardio training — that’s when you get your heart rate up high enough to boost your cardio fitness.

So, even if you walk a ton, you might not meet your Exercise/Cardio goal for the day.

To make sure you get enough exercise, try to get your heart rate in a more intense zone and/or stay in your target heart rate zone for today a little longer. To see your target zones, check out your move plan for today.

Most likely, you didn’t get your heart rate up high enough while you worked out. Our smart goal only counts workout time in your progress if you’re exercising intensely. Stretching or light yoga won’t be taken into account in most cases, because your heart rate won’t get high enough.

To make sure you get your heart rate up high enough, check out your target zones and try hitting a more intense one.

Either you’ve been super active over the past seven days, or you’ve been feeling under the weather recently. In both cases, we’ll show that you met your goal, even if you took a day to chill out or recover.

The WHO recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, but these minutes don’t have to be spread out evenly.

We consider this recommendation and adjust it to your lifestyle. For instance, if you’re an athlete, your weekly goal will be higher than 150 minutes and depend on your workout schedule. And if you spent the week running marathons and then took Sunday off, you’ll still meet your goal.

Another example: if you sat on that couch feeling out of sorts and used a tag or took an HRV measurement to tell us about it, we won’t set you an Exercise/Cardio goal or take it into account in your move report.
