What is Fitbit Cardio Load and Target Load?
Best answer: Google describes Cardio Load as "real-time tracking of how hard your heart is working during workouts and throughout the day." The Cardio Load score gives you more points for "longer and more strenuous activity," based on both logged workouts and casual, untracked activities. You'll be warned if you're over or undertraining, based on your Cardio Load history.
Target Load is auto-generated after wearing the Pixel Watch 3 for 14 days. With this data, it tells you whether your current Cardio Load is above or below where it "should" be to "optimize performance, reduce injury risk, and balance recovery." Overtraining or bad sleep will push your Target Load window lower; long rest or slacking on your workouts will move it higher.
