Google Fitness Tracker App "Google Fit" Can Make Your Fitness Dreams Come True. Here's How!

In the world of technology, where computer software and mobile applications have made our life easier, tracking our health condition and improving it is also effortless.

Today we are talking about one of the most promising fitness apps, "Google Fit" by Google.

Does Google have a fitness App?

Google fit is a fitness tracking app, launched on October 24, 2014, by Google. Its primary objective is to track the user's health condition and provide the best fitness recommendation for a healthier life.

How do I use the Google Fit app?

The way Google Fit works is quite simple. The app observes the factors like daily steps taken, heart rate, calories and blood pressure.

The app is able to know these factors with the help of sensors, which are either present in the phone or with the trackers, attached externally. (We are going to talk about the trackers later).

How do I connect my fitness tracker to my phone?

You can easily connect the fitness tracking app with your mobile phone. All you need to do is download it from the Google play store or their official website.

Here is the step-by-step guide on how you can get the Google fit into your phone.

    1.     Download Google fit from the Google play store or their website.

    2.     Login with your Google account.

    3.     Fill in some necessary details like your age, height, weight.

    4.     Put your goals; how many steps would you take a day, how many calories do you want to burn daily.

    5.     Now the app will ask for some permissions; these permissions are asked to track your physical activities. These can be turned off or on whenever you want.

    6.     Finally, at the end of every walk, jog or workout, check out the app to determine your progress.

What trackers work with Google fit?

Many phones lack some sensors like a heartbeat sensor or blood-pressure sensor, which is overcome by using trackers. Trackers are gadgets like smartwatches and smart health-bands; these devices possess all the necessary sensors. The app uses these sensors for the users' health condition assessment.

Fortunately, Google Fit is compatible with the maximum number of health and fitness trackers; for most devices, Google Fit is the default fitness app. Your smartwatch, most probably, also be compatible with Google fit app (Unless the company has a fitness app of its own).

Here are a few devices that we recommend using with the app:

• All polar fitness watches.
• Xiaomi Mi 5, band 4
• Withings Body Cardio and Body plus smart scales.
