Application Google Fit It is the specific development that Google has to control the daily activity of users. It does not offer a large number of options at the moment, but it is the most effective and, in addition, its synchronization with smart watches with Android Wear is perfect. Well, this development has been updated.
Perhaps the most interesting new feature included in the new version of this work is that the activities that can be chosen when practicing a sport, they increase considerably, so one of the sections that was clearly improvable has been resolved. The fact is that they have been added 100 new options (among which possibilities such as boxing or dance exercise and, also, others like a good amount of winter sports).
Additionally, a has been added support for Android Wear greatly improved (currently Wear OS), where the options for acquiring information are increased and it is also more precise. An example is the step count and tracking metrics for activities like walking, running, or cycling, which now sync better with watches. Support is also provided for tracking activity even when syncing with your phone isn't available: smartwatch saves data (steps, route and, if the clock allows it, heart rate) and sends them once the mobile device is present. In Wear OS, you can also add tiles and complications to see your goals at a glance.
Error correction
Well yes, as usual when a new version of any Android application is released, it includes bug fixes and stability is increased. We consider this last point important because, when we've used the development, it has closed unexpectedly on more than one occasion—especially when an application that uses GPS is running. Well, this and other failures are a thing of the past.
How to add and edit activities in Google Fit
In addition to automatic registration, Google Fit allows add activities manually to the newspaper and edit Those that weren't saved properly. If you don't have your phone or watch with you on an outing, you can add walking, running, or cycling activities later, and you can also add activities that Fit doesn't automatically detect, such as weightlifting, rowing, or baseball. In each entry you can adjust type of activity, start and end time, as well as the estimated intensity.
From the floating button, it is also possible to register health information such as weight and blood pressure. And if your wearable doesn't sync your rest, Fit allows record the dream manually indicating bedtime and wake-up time to maintain a consistent history.
Workouts, goals, and rings: everything counts
If you are about to start a session, you can record it in real time. Choose the activity (the list is extensive) and, if it is outdoors, the activity will be saved. route on the map with metrics such as distance, pace/speed and calories. You can activate voice alerts configurable by distance or time, and even start a pace-guided walk to “set the pace” and earn more points.
Motivation in Fit is based on two simple goals: Active Minutes (time in motion) and Cardio PointsThese objectives have been designed together with the WHO and AHA: Moderate intensity activities provide 1 point per minute, and more vigorous activities provide 2 points per minute. Progress is represented by rings that close as you approach your daily goal, visible on your mobile and watch.
In addition, you will be able to adjust your goals when you see that you meet them frequently, and add widgets on Android or tiles/complications on the watch to check the progress at a glance. The Diary shows all your activities and, in the view of exploration, you can review health and wellness trends.

If you are interested in planning, you can check your historial in your journal or browse health categories. And if you want to reflect your workouts on your calendar, remember that There is no native synchronization with Google Calendar; that automation, if you need it, can be solved using third-party tools.
