It's time to Get Your Gruve On!

Here's what you need to know

Week 1 - Your Assessment Week

The first week of the program is an assessment period. During this time, you should wear your Gruve while you go about your normal routine. Try not to alter your behavior too much during this time, so that the system can get an accurate picture of your current activity levels. This will help us to more accurately tailor your program to your current behavior.

Find Your Green Goal

Your Green Goal is the number of calories you need to burn everyday, above and beyond your RMR, in order to reach your weight management objective. Your Green Goal will start out low, and will follow your momentum in the program, challenging you to become more and more active as the program continues. The system will analyze your progress each week, and if you've hit green more than 8 out of the last 14 days, your Green Goal will go up. If not, it will stay the same.

What is my RMR?

Your Resting Metabollic Rate, or RMR, is the number of calories you burn by simply being alive. This is the number of calories your body would burn if you were to lie in bed all day long.

What do the colored lights on my Gruve and in my charts mean?

Every day as you burn calories, you move through a series of colors, starting with Red, moving to Orange, through Yellow, on to Blue, and turning Green once you've reached your goal. When you push the Halo Button on the Gruve, the Halo will show you the color you're currently in. Your online charts also show you what color you reached for the day, and the time at which you transitioned between each zone.

Gruve Vibrations

Your Gruve tells you when it's time to Muve! When we sit for a certain length of time, our bodies go into a "hibernation mode". This length of time is called our Energy Conservation Point (ECP), and it's a different length of time for each person based on their health information. It typically ranges from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Your Gruve will vibrate twice if you're sedentary for too long - once as a warning vibration telling you you're close to your ECP, and again when you have reached your ECP. In order to avoid your ECP you should walk for at least 5 minutes throughout the course of your ECP time period.

How is my "Recommended Calorie Intake" set?

Your recommended calorie intake depends on your 7 day average calorie burn, Your Daily RMR, and Your Weight Management Objective (lose weight or maintain weight). If you chose to lose weight, the recommended calorie intake is 500 calories below your 7 day average calorie burn + Your Daily RMR. This 500 calorie deficit, if achieved, will result in losing 1 lb per week. If you chose to maintain weight, the recommended calorie intake is equal to your 7 day average calorie burn + Your Daily RMR. This means you would consume the same number of calories as you burn, thus resulting in weight maintenance. Your Recommended Calorie Intake will never go below your RMR, or above your Green Goal.
