What are MOVEs or Move Points?
MOVEs are the app's unit of movement measurement. The more you move, the more you collect. For example, running for 10 minutes at low intensity accumulates about 200 MOVEs. The faster and longer you run, cycle, row, or whatever your favourite exercise is, the more MOVEs you'll earn. They help you visualize your workout intensity in the Results section.
