GlossaryScoring method

Workout Based

Definition

A MoveTogether competition scoring method that counts training days rather than all-day activity. A day earns a point when it includes a workout. The app labels it Workout Count.

Two very different athletes side by side, showing fitness comes in every form.

How MoveTogether uses it.

A day qualifies with one workout longer than 15 minutes, or when your Exercise minutes pass 15. Each qualifying day is worth one point, so a 90-minute ride and a 16-minute run score the same.

It suits runners, cyclists, and lifters whose training comes in sessions, and it ignores the step noise from a busy job or a long commute. Workouts from Strava, Garmin, Polar, and other apps count once they sync to Apple Health or Health Connect. If your group wants long sessions to count for more, Head to Head on exercise minutes or Raw Numbers reward duration.
