The Nike+ FuelBand App

Use the Nike+ FuelBand app to sync wirelessly, track your progress and get extra motivation on the go. The app breaks down your activity and graphs it, so you can make sense of it at a glance.

About NikeFuel Missions

NikeFuel Missions is the first game powered by your everyday movement. In a world conquered by cold, you must earn your way out with NikeFuel. Do more with your Nike+ device and advance your character with the help of your guides.

What Nike+ FuelBand Tracks

The Nike+ FuelBand tracks running or walking*, dancing, basketball, Frisbee, and scores of everyday actions. The FuelBand tracks total activity throughout the day and calculates a NikeFuel score in the process. It also tracks total calories burned.

The FuelBand is less suited for resistance activities, like weight lifting or yoga, because it is only designed to measure activity where the wrist is moving as part of the overall movement.

The FuelBand is not recommended as a method of tracking bicycling workouts, as it is not optimized to accurately capture this activity type. Although the FuelBand may capture some data if worn for cycling, the amount of NikeFuel recorded will not correlate with mileage, effort, or other cycling-related metrics.

Avoid using while swimming because the FuelBand is water resistant but NOT waterproof.

*You can wear the FuelBand for running or walking and earn NikeFuel based on arm swing, but the FuelBand does not track workout duration, speed, or distance. If you run on a treadmill or elliptical trainer and use the support rails, you'll earn less NikeFuel because you're generating less wrist movement than if you were swinging your arms.

Progress Towards Your Daily Goal

The red, yellow, and green lights represent your progress towards your Daily Goal.

Your Daily Goal will start at 12:00 AM each day with a single red light and a flashing green light that represents your daily NikeFuel goal. As your activity increases, the Goal Complete indicator will light up to yellow, then green. When you fill all the green lights, you've hit your Daily Goal.

Once you hit your Daily Goal, your Nike+ FuelBand will flash the Goal Complete indicator light (green) continuously until you press the button to see your day's results. Your first short button press will then reveal a special celebration.
