Google Fit: Health and Activity Tracking
Activity Goals To Improve Health Being active is important to our health, but how much or what kind of activity do you need? Google Fit collaborated with the American Heart Association to develop Heart Points, an activity goal based on their activity recommendations shown to impact health. Heart PointsTM Activities that get your heart pumping harder have tremendous health benefits for your heart and mind. You'll earn one Heart Point for each minute of moderately intense activity like picking up the pace when walking your dog, and double points for more intense activities like running. It takes just 30-minutes of brisk walking five days a week to reach AHA's recommended amount of physical activity shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve sleep, and increase overall mental wellbeing.
Google Fit is a health-tracking platform developed by Google for the Android operating system, Wear OS and Apple Inc.'s IOS. It is a single set of APIs that blends data from multiple apps and devices.[5] Google Fit uses sensors in a user's activity tracker or mobile device to record physical fitness activities (such as walking, cycling, etc.), which are measured against the user's fitness goals to provide a comprehensive view of their fitness.

Let’s say you use a Garmin device for tracking your workouts through an app like Runtastic, but you really love Google Fit’s Move Minutes and Heart Points metrics. If you connect your Google Fit account to Runtastic, your fitness data will automatically transfer over to Google Fit.

A number of fitness and health devices are compatible with Google Fit, most of them being Wear OS smartwatches. Google Fit is the default fitness app for Wear OS devices (unless a company includes its own fitness app), so you can expect to use Google Fit if you pick up a Wear OS smartwatch.
Every Wear OS smartwatch is compatible with Google Fit, though the data the app records will depend on which watch you’re using. For instance, Google Fit won’t be able to record heart rate data if you’re using a Wear OS device without a heart rate sensor, such as the older Skagen Falster. If your Wear OS watch doesn’t have a heart rate sensor but you happen to own a standalone heart rate sensor (such as a chest strap or arm band), you can connect that device to Google Fit to see your heart rate data.
You also might want to connect Google Fit to another app if you’re using a Wear OS device. As we’ve already discussed, Google’s fitness app isn’t the most versatile app out there. So, if you want to keep track of your activity in a more powerful app like Strava or Runkeeper, connecting your Google Fit account to a third-party app will do the trick.
The main aspect missing from Google Fit is any kind of social platform. Other popular fitness apps, like Fitbit or Strava, put an emphasis on community. Being able to reach out to a community of like-minded people to help you along your fitness journey can be extremely helpful in certain situations. Fitbit’s app, for instance, let’s you join health and fitness groups, post status updates and photos, comment on posts, and ask for advice if you need it. Strava focuses more on activity progression and staying up to date on how your friends are performing. None of that is available in Google Fit.
In August 2018, Google announced a revamp to its Android Fit platform which adds activity goals based on activity recommendations from the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization.[6] The updates are meant to help Fit better provide metrics for activities other than walking, and encourage users to engage in activities that will raise the heart rate without necessarily requiring a trip to the gym.[7]

Tracking activity goals are necessary to stay motivated in the journey of fitness. The description and the video are so precise and clear. Thank you for sharing such information. Looking forward to more blogs, if possible something about Mi Band would be great.
