Get to a healthier and more active life with the new Google Fit!

It's hard to know how much or what kind of activity you need to stay healthy. That's why Google Fit collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to bring you Heart Points, an activity goal that can help improve your health.

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 moderate 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 the AHA and WHO's recommended amount of physical activity shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve sleep, and increase overall mental wellbeing.

Google Fit will also help you:

TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS FROM YOUR PHONE OR WATCH
Get instant insights when you exercise and see real-time stats for your runs, walks, and bike rides. Fit will use your Android phone's sensors or Wear OS by Google smartwatch's heart rate sensors to record your speed, pace, route, and more.

MONITOR YOUR GOALS

MAKE ALL YOUR MOVEMENT COUNT
If you walk, run, or bike throughout the day, your Android phone or Wear OS by Google smartwatch will automatically detect and add your activities to your Google Fit journal to ensure you get credit for every move. Want extra credit? Turn up the tempo on your walks by starting a paced walking workout and stepping to the beat. Enjoy a different type of workout? Select it from a list of activities like pilates, rowing, or spinning, and Google Fit will track all the Heart Points you earn.

This used to track really good. Now it seems to be hit and miss. I'll check my walking distance to see how much more I need to go. And it doesn't catch the last lap or so of a known distance. So I know it's missed part of it. It is still unreliable. Just checked my distance, showed 3.07 miles walked to my house less than a .25 miles away and rechecked it. It went DOWN to 1.7 miles. Need to work on it. I just deleted it and reinstalled it yesterday.

Horrible. Ab worked fine over the years but lately it's so glitchy and unreliable I can't see myself actually buying a watch from Google. It loses activities that were just logged or tracked. The heart points and calories aren't consistent and the steps by measure are way off. It's really frustrating to log a full days activities and exercises just for it to completely wipe it clean when you have to edit what it already failed to log. I'm about done with Google after 14 years. Inexcusable.

Needs to provide the ability for me to edit tracked activities. It makes no sense at all that this isn't an available feature. Overall, this app is great except that all of a sudden it has stopped syncing Peloton activity through Health Connect. If this integration works going forward, this app is 5 stars.
