Wellbeing+| What is the Activity Converter and How Do I Use It?

Overview

Learn how to convert non-stepping activities like cycling and yoga into steps and distance

What is the activity converter?

The activity converter allows you to convert your time spent performing common activities like cycling and yoga into steps and distance straight from the Wellbeing+ mobile app. When you convert an activity, you have the option to select which metrics (steps, distance, and active minutes) you want added to your daily activity. You can choose to add 1, 2, or all 3 metrics, depending on what your device has already credited you for.

Data added through converted activities will be combined with any device data synced for the day.

⚠️ Please note: It is up to your challenge admin to enable the activity converter. If you do not see the option to add activity, it is not allowed for your challenge.

Things to keep in mind:

• Activities can be logged for up to 7 days (the current day and the previous 6 days).
• The activity converter should be used to get credit for activities that aren’t tracked by your device based on steps, such as cycling and yoga. Do not convert activities that have already been credited to your account via a connected device.
• Make sure to only add metrics that were not picked up by your connected device. If your device credited you for active minutes spent on an activity, but not steps or distance, only add those missing metrics. Check and uncheck each metric as needed in the converter.
• You should aim to only convert time you were actively engaged in an activity. If you're performing an activity with longer periods of rest in-between (such as a sport where you rest between games), do not convert rest time to add via the converter. Only add the active time you spent performing the activity.
• Activities should be logged individually on the specific day it was performed. Do not add in data for multiple days under one entry. This will throw off challenge stats.
• Grace period rules always apply. Once a challenge ends, all scoring is final and challenge stats can no longer be updated. Any converted activities added or removed after your challenge ends will save to your Wellbeing+ account but will not update in your challenge.
• Converted activities are added to any device data synced for the day. Syncing from your device will not be interrupted if you add a converted activity entry during the day, but totals between your device and Wellbeing+ will no longer match due to the additional data logged in Wellbeing+.
