- The kinds of walks and workouts in MovaMova has guided walks for outdoors, the treadmill and indoors, seated and supported workouts, warm-ups and stretches, and Free Walk for walking at your own pace.
- Find a workout: recommendations, search and filtersOpen Workouts and tap Workouts at the top. Start with Recommended for you, or search and filter by duration, place, intensity and level.
- Start a walk, and the permissions Mova asks forTap Start on Today or in the Plan, check the workout screen, and tap Start walk. Before your first walk Mova explains the permissions it will ask for; you can walk without any of them.
- During a walk: pause, lock, finish or discardThe walk screen shows the current phase, the time left and what's next. Use Pause, Lock and Stop at the bottom. Guided walks finish and save themselves at the end; you can also finish early.
- Sounds, vibrations and keeping the screen onIn interval walks Mova plays a short tone and gives a vibration when a new phase starts, and the screen shows what's next. Mova doesn't use spoken coaching. You can turn sounds, vibrations and Keep screen on off in Units & preferences.
- Free Walk and walk goalsA 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.
- Treadmill walks and adding your distanceTreadmill workouts suggest a speed and incline for each part of the walk. Mova counts your time and steps; afterwards you can add the distance shown on the treadmill.
- Indoor and chair workoutsIndoor, supported and chair workouts are led on screen, one movement at a time, each with an easier option. Place your phone where you can see it; the workout pauses if you leave Mova.
- Location, GPS distance and your routeMova uses your location only during an outdoor walk you start, to record your route and measure distance and pace. Your route stays on your phone and is shown only to you.
- After your walk: your summary and saved walksWhen a walk ends, Mova saves it and shows a summary. You'll find every walk later in Progress › Recorded walks. Walks can't be edited or deleted, apart from a treadmill walk's distance.
- If a walk was interrupted or didn't saveIf Mova closes during a walk, nothing is lost. The next time you open Mova, it shows "Your walk was interrupted" and lets you resume, finish and save, or discard it.
- Distance or route looks wrongShort or missing distances usually come from location being off or approximate, a weak GPS signal, or a treadmill or indoor workout, which never has GPS distance.
