Agreed. It doesn't require particularly strenuous exercise tho'. Average 70% MHR based on age, which is why I could run for 20-something mins and then probably just sit on my arse.
What's equally stupid is that 30 mins minimum earns you the maximum of 8 points per day, out of max 40/week. Encourages you to exercise too frequently without enough rest days, particularly if you're trying to fit longer runs in as well.

It's coming back to me. My cycle commute was just long enough to count as the 30 mins exercise. Back then I was doing 4 days in the office, and a 30 min cycle commute (still got me above 70% MHR) is a lot less strenuous on the body than a 30 min run.

Don't disagree but you can get ten points a week for going to the gym so it doesn't all have to be cardio.

Seems arbitrary and short sighted. Getting the inactive active won't work with minimum duration, could even work more as a disincentive.
