Free Walk and walk goals
A Free Walk is a walk at your own pace, without a plan. Start it from Today or Workouts, and add an optional goal for time, steps or distance if you like.
Start a Free Walk
Tap Free Walk on Today (top right of today’s session) or at the top of Workouts. You’ll see Free Walk · Walk your way. Every step counts toward your goal., a map if your location is on, and Start Free Walk.
A Free Walk is an outdoor walk: Mova records your route with GPS if you allow location. Without location it still records time and steps. For a walk on a treadmill or indoors, choose a treadmill or indoor workout instead.
Add a goal (optional)
- Tap Set a goal (Optional · time, steps or distance).
- Choose Time, Steps or Distance.
- Use − and +, or tap one of the suggestions.
- Tap Set goal. To take it off again, open it and tap Remove goal.
| Goal | Range |
|---|---|
| Time | 5 to 180 minutes, in 5-minute steps |
| Steps | 500 to 40,000, in steps of 500 |
| Distance | 0.5 to 50 km (0.5 to 31 miles), in steps of 0.5 |
A distance goal needs location. If location is off, or Record route for outdoor walks is off in Units & preferences, Mova says goal progress isn’t available, and the walk still records.
During the walk
The walk screen shows your goal and how much is to go. When you reach it: Goal reached. Keep going if you like., with a tone and vibration. The walk doesn’t end by itself; tap Stop, then Finish and save, when you’re done.
Your summary then says, for example, Goal reached · 5,000 steps (+620), or how far you got.
Does a Free Walk count for my plan?
It can. If today’s planned walk is an easy one, the Free Walk screen tells you how long to walk for it to count, for example Your Free Walk can count toward it if you walk for at least …. A Free Walk doesn’t count for structured walks such as Japanese Walking or intervals. Details in When a walk counts toward your plan.
