What is Google Fit in the first place?
It's hard to know how much exercise you can do each day to stay healthy. Google Fit is an app that helps you improve your health by measuring and recording your exercise.
Google Fit is a smartphone app jointly developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Heart Association (AHA), and Google. When you exercise such as walking, you can visualize how much activity you did per day with points.
For example, if you have a smartphone with Google Fit installed and do a little hard exercise such as running, 2 points will be added per minute. Just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week is enough to meet the AHA and WHO recommendations.
With Google Fit, you can not only keep track of how much you've been exercising each day, but also see if you're hitting the recommended amount. Of course, you can also check the amount of calories consumed.
In addition, although it is named "Google", you can use it by downloading the application on iPhone. Please install it from the App Store.
