Simple And Helpful Tool for Healthier, Active Lifestyle
November 29, 2020It’s easy to become overwhelmed by all of the data from health and fitness apps. As you journey toward better health, you may want to observe your sleep pattern, see if you are meeting your workout goals and keep track of your heart rate. Google Fit and Wear OS by Google make the task of accessing your wellness information and most relevant data, more convenient.
All In One Place
The all-new Google Fit update now available for Android and iOS, allows you to collect all of this information across your different connected apps and devices and condenses it into an easy-to-read dashboard view. You can also check your weight and blood pressure trends over time, as well as seeing a summary of your workouts. Sleep information is accessible through the app.
If you own wearable devices like the Fossil Gen 5E Smartwatch, Oura Ring, or Withings sleep tracking mat, you can track your nightly activities, view sleep stages, and set an alarm for a bedtime schedule. As Google continue to expand on these features, you will need to add more supported devices and apps.
Track Your Favorite Workouts
Wear OS by Google smartwatches also gets Google Fit Workouts Tile. This allows you to browse your most recent workouts, faster. It enables you to see all your metrics on one screen. As you run, you can set goals for how far you’ll be running and receive pace alerts should you deviate from that pace.
You will also be able to view a map of your walk or run, the speed of your workout, and mile markers in the Google Fit app on your Android or iOS device. If you want to share your goals, progress, and achievements with friends and family, as well as toot your own horn on social media, you can now share your successes in your activity journal directly with Google Fit.
Fit Breathe
Spending some time outside your home can be relaxing and refreshing, as well as improve your energy and mental focus. Feature updates are being applied to the Wear OS by Google smartwatches to make the display information easier to read, affording more accurate forecasts with weather alerts.
However, at the end of the day doesn’t matter whether you engage in your activity indoors or outdoors. After doing your Fit breathe, you can view your summary by heart rate which include your heart rate from the beginning/end, and recap the breathing session.
