What is a MOVE?
A MOVE is a measurement of physical activity, calculated through your height, weight and predicted energy expenditure when completing an exercise. It’s a fantastic method for measuring activity relative to each individual.
Example of MOVES: Five flights of stairs = 50 MOVEs; walking for 30 minutes = 200 MOVEs.
