Editor's Review
Embark on a journey to a healthier and more active life with the all-new Google Fit! 🚀 It's often challenging to determine the right amount and type of activity needed to maintain good health. That's why Google Fit has partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to introduce Heart Points – an activity goal designed to help you enhance your overall well-being. ❤️
Activities that elevate your heart rate offer significant health benefits for both your heart and mind. You'll earn one Heart Point for every minute of moderate activity, such as briskly walking your dog, and double points for more vigorous activities like running. Engaging in just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week meets the AHA and WHO's recommended level of physical activity, which has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve sleep quality, and boost overall mental well-being. 🚶♀️🏃♂️
Google Fit will also empower you to:
TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS FROM YOUR PHONE OR WATCH 📱⌚️: Gain instant insights during your workouts and view real-time stats for your runs, walks, and bike rides. Google Fit utilizes 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 🎯: Track your daily progress toward your Heart Points and Steps goals. Consistently achieving your targets? Easily adjust your goals to continuously challenge yourself and promote a healthy heart and mind.
MAKE ALL YOUR MOVEMENT COUNT 🚶♂️🚴♀️: Whether you're walking, running, or biking throughout the day, your Android phone or Wear OS by Google smartwatch will automatically detect and log your activities in your Google Fit journal, ensuring you receive credit for every move. Want to maximize your efforts? Increase the intensity of your walks by initiating a paced walking workout and stepping to the beat. Prefer a different type of workout? Choose from a variety of activities such as pilates, rowing, or spinning, and Google Fit will track all the Heart Points you earn.
