Interpret the Activity Path

The Activity Path is the central visual on the Streak tab of the Gentler Streak app. It provides an at-a-glance overview of your fitness readiness, helping you understand if your body is ready for a challenge, in need of rest, or maintaining a good balance.

Reading the Activity Path

It consists of a green band, which represents your Activity Path, and a white dotted line, which shows your actual activity level over time. Your goal is to keep the white line within the green path.

  • Upper (dark green) part of the path: If your position on the Activity Path is near the top of the green area, it indicates you are approaching the edge of your healthy activity levels. The app will likely suggest rest or a light, active recovery workout.
  • Middle part: Being in the middle of the path means you have found a good balance between your workouts and recovery.
  • Lower (light green) part of the path: If your position on the Activity Path is near the bottom, it suggests your body is well-rested and can handle a more intense workout if you choose.

Understanding the Daily Message

Directly above the Activity Path, you'll find a daily message, such as "Kudos for Taking Action." This text interprets your current position on the Activity Path and offers straightforward advice. It contextualizes the data, letting you know if you are well into your path, could push for more, or should consider taking it easy.

Tips for Using the Graph

  • Check the graph daily to make informed decisions about your workout intensity.
  • Use the path's position to plan your week, balancing more challenging days with recovery days.
  • A consistently dipping line might indicate a need for more activity, while a line that frequently touches the upper edge may be a sign to incorporate more rest.

Summary

This article explains how to interpret the Activity Path, a key feature for balancing your fitness. You learned how the green band represents your optimal workout range and how the white dotted line tracks your actual activity, helping you avoid both undertraining and overtraining.
