Google Fit is a fitness app available for mobile phones. How to use it? The video covers
Google Fit Tutorial. So, let's get started.
The app supports tracking over ten types of health-related options, but let's cover the
main interface first. On the top, we have the most important data: points and steps.
Well, you know about the steps displayed in the blue colour, but what are those points?
Well, points measure your exercise active time. Most likely, you get one point per minute,
but it depends on the exercise itself. You also see the burned calories, distance, and
active minutes for the day.
Below that, you have your daily goals and weekly overview of points. This target comes
from World Health Organisation. For this to achieve, you will need to do an exercise for
at least 22 minutes a day or 30 minutes five days a week.
Now, tapping on each section goes to the details where you can learn more about that activity.
Below that, we have the last workout data, heart points, and steps by day. Tapping on
each opens the whole data, and you can touch on a specific day to further see the hourly
data. The day, week, and months options are on the top as well.
You might not have all those options on the main interface because you haven't added any
data. As you add data in the third section, you will start to see those here.
Google Fit supports auto-tracking for over 80 exercises. You can tap on this plus sign
to track your activity. The option comes with blood pressure, weight, activity, and workout
options. All the options except workout allow you to add the data manually.
When you add an activity, you get the title, activity type, start time, duration, and other
options. You don't have to fill them all, but it's good to guess if you don't know.
Let's talk about the workout option now. When you start an activity, you get this type of
option to choose the sport or activity. When you start a workout, you see some data, including
the duration, heart points, calories, and steps. The pause and stop buttons are right
on the bottom.
When you finish, Google Fit automatically adds a title and shows the whole data.
Now let's go to the journal tab. This is where you keep track of your activities sorted by
time. From walk to sports, you find all the workouts here. Touching on each shows more
information and options to edit, share, and delete.
The third section is new, and here you see the categorised options. Tapping on this first
option goes to the activity interface, where you can see all the activities. The second
option shows your height, weight, and body fat data. It's good to keep track if you want
to focus on reducing or maintaining your body fat.
Anyway, in the vital section, you can add many types of data. Those include heart rate,
blood pressure, blood glucose etc. You also have the apps option that goes to Google Play
and shows all the apps that can work with Google Fit.
Like vitals, you can add your nutrition information right in this option. Let's talk about the
sleep data. You can track your precious sleep here, and as you start adding the data, you
see your sleep data on the main interface. You can add the sleep data in this first option
or schedule your daily hours in this second option. This last option is for women to track
their data.
Anyway, the last section is the profile section, where you can set and change some details.
Adjusting the daily steps and points goal is here, while you can also schedule your
sleep. The following section is your personal information. This helps Google Fit to track
your data accurately.
Before ending this video, I like to talk about its step counter. To test it, I walked about
160 steps, but the app counted about 145. So, there might be some differences in the
actual number of steps and what the app shows.
Anyway, this is it for this video. I hope it helped you learn Google Fit. Let me know
what you think of this in the comments and like the video if it helped. I'll see you
in the following tutorial. Until then, take care.
