Zolt showing progress toward weekly movement guidelines

Zolt gives you a weekly view of aerobic activity and strength work based on the records available from your connected health platform.

The guideline Zolt references

For adults, the American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or an equivalent combination each week. It also recommends moderate- to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity on at least two days per week. Read the current AHA guidance.

These are population-level guidelines, not a personalized training prescription. Your appropriate activity level can depend on your health, ability, experience, and clinical advice.

What Zolt shows

The view separates the visible parts of the guideline so you can see where your recorded week stands:

  • moderate aerobic activity;
  • vigorous aerobic activity; and
  • strength-training days or sessions.

Zolt uses the qualifying activity information available from your connected records to populate the progress view.

How to use the weekly view

Check the underlying workouts before focusing on the total. A missing session, incorrect workout type, or sparse heart-rate record can affect what appears.

Use the view to notice gaps and plan the rest of the week. Do not use it to turn every session into hard exercise. Moderate, vigorous, and strength work serve different purposes, and recovery still matters.

If activity is missing

  1. Confirm that the workout appears in Apple Health or Health Connect.
  2. Check the workout type, duration, and heart-rate record.
  3. Confirm that Zolt has permission to read workouts and heart rate.
  4. Review source priority if more than one app records the same session.
  5. Reopen Zolt after the source has finished syncing.

If the source record is correct but the weekly view remains wrong, contact support with the workout date and screenshots.

Safety note

If you are new to exercise, returning after a long break, pregnant, managing a condition, or experiencing symptoms, ask a qualified healthcare professional what level of activity is appropriate. Stop and seek care for concerning symptoms during exercise.
