For the first time in seven months, Google has updated its official Fit application in the Play Store. The upgrade brings a new Fit Challenge feature to Android Wear, an updated watch face and a plethora of bug fixes.

Fit Challenge furnishes users with the facility to select a workout from three activities — push-up, sit-up or squat. It then displays a rather detailed demonstration on how to carry out the exercise safely. Once it’s finished, it will prompt you to initiate your session. From here, the app will accurately track all your reps and sync them to the main activity section of Google Fit.Google-Fit-AW

A real-time record of both your reps and duration can now also been seen on the latest digital watch face. Users will be able to scroll through records to see how their performance has improved over a designated period of time.

To install the update on your Android-powered smartphone or tablet, simply open up the Play Store, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on ‘Google Fit’, then tap the update button. Alternatively, you can hit the link below to initiate the download on your smartphone from the Web.
