Google Fit is the search giant\u2019s way of giving you the ability to track your biometric data so that you can use it to improve your fitness. Biometrics is a big thing these days with all sorts of specialized fitness trackers and apps for smartphones available. Google Fit is available for both Android smartphones and WearOS smartwatches and Google has been working hard to update both apps.<\/p>\n

Google Fit is getting updated features including widgets to display your movement stats<\/h2>\n

On your Android smartphone, the new widgets allow you to monitor your progress directly from your home screen. You\u2019ll be able to place a widget on any of your home screens so that you can easily see your Heart Points, Move Minutes, and other daily stats. You\u2019ll also be able to see details of your last workout right there too. There will be no getting away from it.<\/p>\n

Another cool new feature that Google is bringing to Fit is the ability to more accurately monitor activities that you manually input into your devices. When you manually log a workout session, you\u2019ll now be able to adjust the intensity of the activity and Fit will award them with a more accurate amount of Heart Points based on the work you\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

6 best fitness apps to help you break a sweat<\/p>\r\n Read Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n

The final new feature that Google mentioned in the blog post announcing the update to Fit<\/a> is designed to help you unwind. Google Fit now has the ability to guide users through a breathing exercise to help them unwind. This can be done after a workout, or just at any time when you are feeling a little stressed out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This latest update to Google Fit marks the end of a good year for the app. Earlier this year, Google completely redesigned the app making it easier to use and giving it an updated look. The redesign also focused the app on goals that were recommended to Google by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Move Minutes and Heart Points now sit at the center of the Google fitness app and are the two main metrics that the app pushes you to monitor and reach daily targets for. The redesign put these metrics front and center and displays them as a ring that fills up as you score Move Minutes and Heart Points.<\/p>\n

You should be able to access all of these new features on Google Fit for your Android smartphone and WearOS device now.<\/p>\n
