Google Fit updated to recognize all of your activies

Tired of your pedometer simply counting your steps? With Google’s latest update to Google Fit, it will now recognize all of your activities: from cardio to strength training, what you eat plus how you rest, and coaches you every step of the way. I can actually confirm this, as my own Google Fit app knew I had been more active recently and asked me to increase my daily goal, which I begrudgingly did. But after one day with the new goal, I already achieved an additional 25 minutes of activity which will make me healthier.

Google Fit will now pull information from your favorite nutrition and sleep apps giving you the whole picture of your health. Diet apps such as  MyFitnessPal, Fatsecret, Lifesum, or LoseIt are all compatible with Google Fit. And the compatible sleep apps:  Sleep as Android, Xiaomi Mi Band and Mi Band 1S, Sony Smartband 2, or the Basis Peak.

Google Fit is bringing a whole new level of health monitoring just in time for those New Year’s Resolutions.

Here are the new features(Google):

Instant insights. See real-time stats for your runs, walks and rides on your phone. Google Fit will record your speed, pace, route, elevation, and more so you can stay motivated and on track.

Strength training. Want to add push-ups to your routine? If you have an Android Wear watch, you can start a daily challenge and your watch will automatically detect and count each sit-up, push-up, and squat. They’ll be added to your daily activity, so you get credit for each one.

Just five push-ups?
