Editor's Review

Embark on a transformative journey towards a healthier and more active lifestyle with the all-new Google Fit! 🚀

Do you often find yourself puzzled about the amount and type of activity needed to maintain optimal health? 🤔 Fret not! Google Fit has joined forces with the esteemed World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to introduce Heart Points—an innovative activity goal designed to revolutionize your well-being. ❤️

Engaging in activities that elevate your heart rate yields remarkable benefits for both your heart and mind. 🫀🧠 With Heart Points, you'll earn one point for every minute of moderate activity, such as briskly walking your furry friend 🐕, and double points for more vigorous exercises like running 🏃. Just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week fulfills the AHA and WHO's recommended physical activity quota, reducing the risk of heart disease, enhancing sleep quality, and boosting overall mental well-being. 😴

But that's not all! Google Fit empowers you to:

• Track Your Workouts: Seamlessly monitor your runs, walks, and bike rides with real-time stats, using your Android phone's sensors or Wear OS by Google smartwatch's heart rate sensors. ⌚
• Monitor Your Goals: Stay motivated by tracking your daily progress on Heart Points and Steps goals, and easily adjust them to stay challenged. 🎯
• Make Every Move Count: Automatically detect and log your activities throughout the day, ensuring you receive credit for every step you take. 🚶‍♀️
• Connect with Favorite Apps: Integrate data from popular apps and devices like Lifesum, Nike+, and Strava to gain a holistic view of your health. 🔗
• Check-In Anytime, Anywhere: Access a snapshot of your activity history or delve into comprehensive health and wellness data in the redesigned journal. 📰
• Keep a Finger on the Pulse: Utilize your phone's camera to measure your heart rate and respiratory rate, gaining valuable insights into your body's well-being. 🌡️
• View Day's Stats: Add a widget to your home screen or set up a tile and complication on your Wear OS smartwatch for quick access to your daily stats. 📊
