A quick summary on how to score points and what activity gives extra points.
How to score points
All activity gives points as long as it is logged in the app. This can be done directly in Myworkout Go (start/stop) or by connecting a heart rate monitor. We give extra points for HIT minutes as these are the minutes that are most important for your physical health.
| 1 point per activity minute |
| 4 points per HIT minute |
To earn HIT minutes during your workouts, you must complete a Biological age evaluation
After this workout, we will know your VO2max, Biological age, and even your Maximum Heart Rate if you use a supported Heart rate monitor. Once we have that information, we can reward some of your future activities with HIT minutes. If you are involved in one of our contest, your HIT-minutes will be rewarded as HIT-points (4 points each minute compared to 1 point per minute).
If you have a Heart rate monitor
Do a biological age evaluation with a connected Heart rate monitor. We will estimate your Max heart rate with high precision, enabling you to earn HIT minutes for all your future activities completed while using a heart rate monitor.
Questions about how you connect to a heart rate monitor, what HIT minutes are, how they are collected and much more are answered in our knowledge database.
If you don’t have a Heart rate monitor
Do a biological age evaluation by running or walking outside with a turned-on GPS so we can determine your speed and incline during the workout and estimate the intensity of it. You can also do an indoor treadmill workout if you manually input the correct exercise data upon workout completion. This will enable you to earn HIT minutes. Also following the apps featured 4x4 protocols for spinning, and other watt machines will provide you with HIT.
How does the HIT calculation goes?
<activity_min> - <hit_min> + (<hit_min> * 4)
or
<activity_min> + <hit_min> * 3
The first one just shows more clearly how it is calculated. I.e., take the total time, subtract the hit minutes, then add the hit minutes times 4
But it's exactly the same as taking the total time and adding hit minutes times 3
