Activity Level | Description |
---|---|
Mildly Active (0-7k Steps) |
Your job isn’t physical. Your job consists mostly of sitting while working. You drive to and from work, and you while you might have some physical hobbies, they aren’t the kinds that take hours and leave you sweating and drained after. |
Moderately Active (7-14k Steps) |
Your job involves quite a bit of moving around (walking, lifting) and you might have some physically active hobbies. You spend the majority of your day moving around and while you do spend some of it sitting, there’s more moving than sitting for sure. If you’re not sure if you’re quite active enough to choose this option, choose ‘Mildly Active’ instead to be on the safe side. |
Heavily Active (14-21k Steps) |
You’re either up and about all day at work, have hours of physical hobbies or transport (walk or bike to work, walk pets), or a good deal of both. If you look back on your typical day, you’re moving around almost all the time. If you’re not sure if you’re quite active enough to choose this option, choose ‘Moderately Active’ instead to be on the safe side. |
Very Heavily Active (21k+ Steps) |
You’re on your feet and moving around almost all of your waking hours, but you’re not just moving around… you’re doing hard, physical work. This means you have both a very physical job and a highly active home or recreation life. An example is doing construction during the day, training clients at a gym in the evening, and playing roughhousing games with your kids before bedtime. Only choose this day type if you’re so physically busy that you often have trouble sitting down for meals during the day. If you’re not sure if you’re quite active enough to choose this option, choose ‘Heavily Active’ instead to be on the safe side. |
