10 Orbit Manual
reminds you after an extended idle phase to get active again. This feature can be
activated or deactivated in the Orbit Settings of your Me app. You can also modify
the active timeframe of your Idle Notification.
Calculation and Measurement
Steps
Your steps are tracked directly by Orbit. They are shown both on your Orbit and
your Me app.
About 8,000 steps per day are ideal and healthy.
Distance
The distance covered is calculated in kilometers/miles based on tracked steps
and individual data, like height and gender. When tracking walking, running, hiking
or nordic walking sessions with a Runtastic app via GPS, the more accurately
measured distance data can substitute the value calculated by Orbit. It is recom-
mended to cover between 57.5 kilometers per day.
Calories Burned
Calories are burned all the time, even while sleeping and sitting! Your overall
Calories Burned includes your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the calories burned
during daily activities.
The calculation starts at midnight and is based on individual values, including
height, weight, gender and age, which Runtastic Orbit retrieves from your Runtastic
Me app. Steps are analyzed on a minute-based timeframe, with a higher step
frequency leading to a higher amount of calories burned. This is why 100 steps/
minute are calculated differently than 10 unique occurences of 10 steps/minute.
Activities completed with other Runtastic apps are also taken into account and
data is integrated in a way that always defers to the most accurate source.
Your current Calories Burned value is displayed both within your Me app and on
your Orbit.
The ideal calorie goal varies for every person and depends on individual body
metrics.
