Effort is one of the two necessary metrics for measuring Readiness, and refers to any recorded physical activity, such as walking, running or workouts. In order to make sure you can maintain a persistent Readiness Status, make sure you’re recording one physical activity per day (Effort) and one period of rest or sleep (Recovery). If you miss one of these two measurements in a day, your Readiness won’t be able to be calculated. 

If you don't see any of your Effort data in your Readiness Breakdown, please check the following:

1. Wear your tracking device consistently. Our step trackers need to be worn in the daytime to track your activity.
2. Make sure that you are reliably syncing data with the Withings app. 
   - To do this, go to the Home tab in the Withings App and pull down from the top of the screen to refresh the data and trigger a sync. Your data should appear within moments. If not, please see our troubleshooting articles specific to your device. 
   - Additionally, make sure that Bluetooth is activated on your phone, your tracker is near your phone when syncing, and that the Withings App is allowed to run in the background.
3. Enable data sharing with another data source. If you are using another data source to track data (i.e. another tracking device or your mobile device itself), you can share data between the partner app and the Withings App by navigating to the Share tab, selecting your partner app, and following the on-screen instructions.
