Understanding the Zolt Activity Score

Your Activity Score is more than just steps or calories burned—it’s a measure of how well your daily activity aligns with research-backed recommendations for physical health and longevity.

When you hit 80 or above, it means you’re moving and exercising enough daily to hit the healthy movement and exercise guidelines backed by current scientific research to be in good shape in the long-term.

The activity score also has no cap. It can go as high as you can push it, though it gets exponentially harder to make it go higher the higher it gets.


Activity Guidelines

Zolt’s activity score is a rough approximation of these weekly guidelines. While the Activity Score is a daily score, we find that most people who are honest about their workout tracking and hit the target daily 80+ also end up hitting these guidelines too.

  1. Steps Taken 🪩
    Aiming for 7,000–10,000 steps a day hits the sweet spot for general health. Walking promotes cardiovascular fitness, reduces stress, and helps maintain joint mobility.
  2. Exercise Minutes 💪
    World health guidelines recommend 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity per week. Zolt translates this into your daily score, tracking how close you are to staying consistent.
  3. Strength Training 🏋️‍♀️
    Lifting weights or engaging in resistance-based activities helps build muscle mass, strengthens bones, and supports metabolic health. Completing at least two strength sessions per week is key for longevity.
  4. Cardio Effort ❤️
    Zolt tracks your heart rate during workouts and calories burned to make sure you’re not just working your external muscles, but also your internal one, the heart.

Your Score Breakdown 📊

90+: Absolutely Crushing It! 🌟
You’re ahead of the game! Keep riding this momentum and keep pushing it. This is a great target for athletes and those serious into fitness.

80-89: Ideal and Aligned ✅
You’re hitting the ideal activity level for health, longevity, and peak energy. Ideally, everyone should be able to hit 80 every day.

60-79: Moving, but Momentum Needed 💪
You’re staying active, but there’s untapped potential. Maybe you skipped a workout or had a lighter day—no worries, small adjustments can push you into the optimal range.

40-59: Missing the Mark ⚠️
You’re not moving enough for your health and goals. Prioritize getting steps, a fast workout, or even a quick walk to keep your body in balance.

Below 40: Time for an Activity Reset 🚨
This level of inactivity can lead to long-term health risks. Make movement a non-negotiable—try to stand more, stretch, or schedule a workout to get back on track.
