Google Fit It's becoming an increasingly useful app for fitness enthusiasts. It started with few features, essentially as a hub for data from different apps. But it's adding more functions and may soon include gym routines. routines for calisthenics and hydration records.
Gym routines
If you're a gym rat, you'll be well-versed in the routines you should follow to strengthen different muscle groups. Keeping accurate track of each one isn't easy. exercises that you have to do every day, repetitions, changes every few weeks, etc. Google Fit could come to the rescue by also including a record of routineswith the different exercises, so that we don't need any other application to accompany us in our daily life at the gym.
meanwhile you can create workouts like sessions and manually add strength training, supersets, or cardio activities. With the option to Record training Metrics such as pace, distance, and heart rate are stored on Wear OS watches; if you lift weights, add the activity At the end, enter sets, repetitions, weight, and notes to track your progress.
- Plan the week with named sessions (chest, pull, leg) and mark the intensity to add Cardio Points where appropriate.
- Edit or correct any activity recorded from the Log in case the type, duration, or effort were not accurately detected.
Hydration records
The same applies to the water we consume. Drinking more than two liters of water a day is essential for the average person. Those who are keen to keep a detailed record of the calories they consume and burn will also want to know how much water they drink. In theory, it's already possible to have this data in Google Fit through the service's API, but in reality, a separate application is needed to track it. Google Fit will include a built-in feature to track this data. record of the amount of water that we drink directly in the application, without needing to install another app.
In addition, Fit can consolidate nutrition and hydration from connected apps (e.g., calories, macronutrients, micronutrients and glasses of water), so that the Diary shows intakes and their impact on goals.
Automatic sports detection
In addition to the above, Google Fit now will automatically detect sports And it will check to confirm if that's the case. In other words, it goes a step further, not just recognizing if we're walking or running, but also if we're cycling. It seems it could store all this data and record it when we confirm that we were performing that activity. If we don't confirm, this data will be discarded.
During workouts you can activate real-time statistics and voice alerts, as well as using Wear OS widgets and tiles to view steps, Heart Rate Points and progress without opening the app.
When will they arrive?
However, we can't say that these features are already available in Google Fit. We must keep in mind that these new features are known thanks to analysis. the .APK file The latest version has been analyzed, and lines of code referencing all these elements have been found. This means these features will arrive in a future version of the app. If they do arrive, it would mean we could abandon other fitness apps thanks to the number of features already included in Google Fit.
Synchronization and data saved by Google Fit
Google Fit allows connect apps and devices (Strava, Runkeeper, Mi Fit, etc.) to see everything in a single journal. When linking, you'll be asked if the app can store new data in Fit and/or View existing data saved by Google or other apps. You can review and revoke access From Profile > Settings > Google Fit data.
- Type of data: activity (steps, calories, speed), location (distance and routes), hydration and nutrition (calories, macros, water) and sleep (time to sleep, wake up and duration).
- Training and activitiesStart sessions to run, walk or cycle; add manual activities if you forgot your mobile or did weight training.
- Privacy : pause activity or location tracking separately; delete your history or specific location data from Settings > Manage data.
- Useful integrations: sync bracelets like Xiaomi Mi Band, use Adventure Sync with Pokémon GO and add widgets on Android to see progress at a glance.
With objectives based on Active minutes y Cardio Points (Based on recommendations from health organizations), the app encourages you to move and measure what matters. By leveraging connections with your favorite services and logging water and food intake, you'll gain a comprehensive view of your well-being without relying on multiple apps.
