Google Fit is an application that can track different aspects of someone's health. This application can be downloaded on both Apple and Android; however, it works better on android. Different features will be described throughout this page.
The Heart Rate Activity
Google Fit has a Heart Point activity that tracks someone’s heart rate throughout the day. Depending on the intensity of the activity, points can be earned throughout the day. One point can be earned by picking up the pace on a walk or two points can be earned by running. The app can track the amount of MET(Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks) someone’s activities or exercise consists of. One minute of any activity that 3 to 5.9 METs can get someone 1 heart point. An activity that has 6 or higher METs can get someone 2 heart points. This feature is best used with a smartwatch, however it is optional.
