When a walk counts toward your plan

Walking it from your plan

Start today’s walk from Today or the Plan tab and walk it to the end. Your walk summary says Completed from your Plan, and the plan marks it Done.

If you finish early, the walk is still saved, and the summary says Saved — part of today’s session. In the plan it shows as Part of today’s session (and later as Partly done). You can walk again later the same day.

When something else counts

You don’t have to do exactly the planned walk. On the same day:

When this happens, your walk summary says Also counted toward today’s followed by the planned walk, and the plan shows Counted by your Free Walk or Counted by another workout. Before a Free Walk, Mova tells you how long to walk for it to count.

What doesn’t count for a planned walk

• A Free Walk doesn’t count for a structured walk such as Japanese Walking or Interval Walking. For those, walk the workout itself.
• Warm-ups, stretches and mobility sessions don’t count for a walk.
• One walk counts for one planned walk only.

Everything you walk still counts toward your daily step goal and your progress, whether or not it counts for the plan.

Optional walks

On a day when your everyday steps are already well above normal and you’ve reached your goal, an easy planned walk can become Optional · a very active day. Do it if you like; nothing is lost if you don’t.

Programs

In a Program, only the next session in order counts, and only when you walk it from the Program for at least 90% of its time. Walking a Program session on its own from the Workouts list doesn’t start the Program or count toward it. See Programs.
