Google Fit: Activity Tracking

Editor's Review

Get ready to revolutionize your health and fitness journey with the all-new Google Fit! 🚀 This app isn't just another fitness tracker; it's your personal guide to a healthier and more active lifestyle. Google Fit has teamed up with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to introduce Heart Points, an innovative activity goal designed to boost your well-being. ❤️

Why Heart Points? 🤔 Because activities that get your heart pumping are incredibly beneficial for both your heart and mind! You'll earn one Heart Point for every minute of moderate activity, like a brisk walk with your furry friend 🐶, and double points for more intense workouts like running 🏃‍♀️. Just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week can meet the AHA and WHO's recommendations for physical activity, reducing the risk of heart disease, improving sleep 😴, and enhancing your overall mental wellbeing.

But that's not all! Google Fit helps you:

• Track Your Workouts: Get real-time stats for your runs, walks, and bike rides. Use your Android phone's sensors or Wear OS by Google smartwatch's heart rate sensors to record your speed, pace, route, and more. 📊
• Monitor Your Goals: See your daily progress on Heart Points and Steps. Easily adjust your goals to stay challenged and achieve a healthy heart and mind. 🎯
• Make Every Move Count: Whether you're walking, running, or biking, Google Fit automatically detects and adds your activities to your journal. Plus, enjoy paced walking workouts to the beat! 🎶
• Connect with Favorite Apps: Integrate Lifesum, Wear OS by Google, Nike+, Runkeeper, Strava, MyFitnessPal, and more for a holistic view of your health. 🤝
• Check In Anytime, Anywhere: See a snapshot of your activity history or dive deep into your health and wellness data. 🗺️
• Keep a Finger on the Pulse: Use your phone camera to measure your heart rate and respiratory rate for better understanding of your body. 📸
• View Daily Stats at a Glance: Add a widget to your home screen or set up a tile on your Wear OS by Google smartwatch. ⌚
