Logging an Activity in StrivePD

If you haven't recorded your workout with an Apple Watch, you can still log your activities.

1. On the "My Day" tab in your StrivePD app, tap LOG ACTIVITY.

2. You see a list of commonly logged activities. Tap the (+) to log an activity. Tap the "Duration" to customize the activity before logging.

Don't see your activity? Tap MORE to view a list of all activities.

3. Once on the list, find the activity you want to log and tap it. You'll now be able to add more information about the activity. If you're logging something you did on a different day, tap "Today" to select a different day.

4. Tap SAVE to complete logging. From now on, this activity will appear on your LOG ACTIVITY list.

Viewing your Activity History

You can view your last three months of logged activities, along with how many minutes of activity you did each week.

1. On the "My Day" tab, tap on the Activity Card.

2. The top half of the screen will show how active you've been over the past 3 months.

3. Below, you'll see a list of all logged activities. Swipe from the bottom of the screen towards the top to see older activities.

4. If you tap on an activity, you can add more information, like a note or an RPE value. For activities logged through your watch or another app, you cannot edit the start time or duration.

What is RPE?

The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) can help you keep track of how hard you work during an activity. Research suggests people with Parkinson's should do 90 minutes of moderate to high intensity exercise each week.
