Pedometer to account walking to the 17’ daily activities

Following the 17 minutes of daily activity proposal, and by the fact that is tracked, why not add some kind of pedometer to include walking as part of the 17 minutes?
For what I understood it has more to do with any kind of low intensity to high intensity activities, but on a daily basis.

Hi there :wave:

Walking is counting too, just has to be logged as activity in your health app. Usual step count won’t do it.

If that was your question.

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to not have to track an activity inside the freeletics app and simply using the data from the steps the phones are already tracking anyways.
Since this “exercise” counts into the “Athlet Score”. Otherwise the Score should only count the days you actually set for Trainings with the app.

In my case I have 4 sessions planed every week. Since the three days off are not going to count anything (if not manually tracked with the app) my Score can never be 100 (or 99 since that is another thing not really working properly). Even if I don’t miss a training.

And for me it just doesn’t feel like a healthy thing to push people to use the app even if they are not training that day, just because they don’t want to get an incorrect Score over all.

Would be nice if the Score would be adapted for that. And I think the app was better without the Daily Activity

In my case I stopped caring for daily athlete score some time ago.
First of all it’s not helping me staying motivated.
Second, it doesn’t reflect MY score but calculates how my score is related to other people which I can care less for, I am interested in my score and how I progress in relation to me, myself and I.

And minor thing but annoying is score chart reloading and running animation each time you go back which was pointed out on multiple occasions but was never addressed.

Having unpolished features just for the sake of having a new feature is unnecessary.
Give us a good training app without bloat and I believe most people would be happy.

I agree, DAS doesn’t make sense… I train some 6-8 hours a week and my DAS is around 50 and my consistency score is around 20 :melting_face:
