150: Active Minutes turns your heart rate into one simple weekly goal — your intensity minutes. The World Health Organization recommends adults get 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity every week. 150 makes hitting that goal effortless: using your Apple Watch heart-rate data, it counts your active minutes — also known as intensity minutes — minute by minute. Moderate minutes count once, vigorous minutes count double, all adding up toward your weekly target of 150. No clutter. No accounts. Just your intensity minutes, at a glance. WHY INTENSITY MINUTES? Steps don't tell the whole story. Intensity minutes reflect how hard your heart is actually working — the same kind of measure the WHO uses to define a genuinely active week. Reach 150 a week to stay on track, or push toward 300 for even greater benefit. FEATURES • A weekly ring that fills with your intensity minutes as you move • Moderate vs. vigorous intensity, calculated from your heart-rate reserve • Live intensity-minute counting during workouts on Apple Watch • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus a Watch complication • A per-day breakdown of your intensity minutes across the week • A clean, focused design that gets out of your way PRIVACY FIRST 150 reads your heart-rate data on your device and never sends it anywhere. No servers. No tracking. No ads. Ever. 150 PRO (optional) Unlock extra themes, ring styles, and intensity-minute history trends with a single one-time purchase. The core weekly goal is free, forever — no subscriptions. Hit 150 intensity minutes by the end of the week.

Most fitness apps chase step counts. Physical tracks what actually moves your health: the weekly aerobic minutes and strength days from national physical activity guidelines, personalized to you. Your dashboard shows two simple rings, aerobic and strength, tailored to your age and profile. Every walk, run, and lift you log in Apple Health counts automatically. WHAT YOU GET - Guideline-based targets. Weekly goals from the 2018 U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines, not a generic 10k steps. - Live heart-rate zones. Color-coded intensity on iPhone and Apple Watch, so you know when you are working hard enough. - Workout goals. Aim for a time, calorie, or distance target, with a wrist buzz at the halfway point and the finish. - Start with Siri. Say "Hey Siri, let's get Physical" to begin a workout or a saved routine by voice, plus Shortcuts and Spotlight support. - Start fast. Long-press the app icon for Home Screen quick actions to jump into a run, walk, or strength session. - Outdoor GPS. Live distance, pace, and route mapping for outdoor walks, runs, hikes, and rides on Apple Watch. - Music controls. Play, pause, and skip right from the workout screen, without leaving the app. - Strength logging. Log sessions on iPhone or Apple Watch with muscle-group coverage, and save your own routines. - Widget and complication. Your rings at a glance on the Home Screen and watch face. - Live Activity. Heart rate and intensity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island during a workout. - Share your week. Turn your two rings into an image you can post anywhere. - Export your data. Send your logged workouts to CSV anytime from Settings. - Nothing slips by. Get a heads-up when a workout you logged in another app counts toward your week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Physical collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no ads, no network calls. Your health data stays in Apple Health, and your saved routines back up to your own iCloud. Nothing is ever sent to us. HOW IT WORKS Set your profile once, then just live your week. Workouts you log in Apple Health count automatically, and Physical shows how close you are with reminders that adapt as your rings fill. Try everything free for 7 days, then continue with a subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock.
