Google on Thursday announced an update to its Fit app on Android. The health-tracking software will now provide real-time information on your walks, runs and bike rides. The Google Fit app will record your speed, pace, route, elevation and more using only your smartphone. This on top of its ability to already track steps, distance, active minutes, and calories burned throughout the day.
You will also be able to use Google Fit with your Android Wear smartwatch to track strength training. The software will able to detect activities like sit-ups, push-ups, and squats and then automatically add them to your daily workout stats. This is similar to functionality we have seen from third-party apps, such as Wear Fitness Personal Trainer.
