Does jogging or running on the spot count towards brisk minutes?

Running on the spot shouldn't work, I'm afraid! It's still good exercise though xxx

Actually daffy it can as I have the Google fit app on my phone, did the same very thing and my heart points shot up to say that I did more to increase my heart rate. I couldn't get out because of the weather so got my Active 10 minutes in this way 💙

Thanks. Means I can jog up and down while watching television.

I keep trying this. Seems to count the steps on my Pedometer but does not recognise it as brisk walking.

Not what you're looking for?
