Did the Three Kings bring you a quantifying bracelet? Surely it is one of the Xiaomi Mi Band. Or it may have been a Xiaomi Mi Scale smart scale. Be that as it may, you need the Mi Fit application to manage everything from your mobile. Alarms, progress, activity records, knowing how you slept... everything is on your Android or iPhone mobile, the question is that you know how to get the most out of it. Therefore, in this article, we give you a few keys so that you know where to find each function and how to get the most out of your Xiaomi connected devices.
Remember that you can use Mi Fit even if you don't have a Xiaomi device, since it is capable of collecting training data through GPS and motion sensors of the mobile itself. It is free and available on both the Google Play Store and the App Store. Of course, this application makes all its sense when you have one or more Xiaomi devices And it is that it can collect the trainings measured with the mobile, but add the information of the sleep collected with a bracelet, and weight evolution data through a scale from the Chinese company.
Sort your data
Once you have configured your profile, with your height, weight, objectives and other data, you can now see the summary of your activity and he alth when you enter Mi Fit. Of course, not everyone wants to initially know the number of steps or the calories consumed.Some may use this he alth app just to keep track of their weight, for example. So, if you want to organize all this information, you have to know that you can do it.
Just scroll to the bottom of this screen and look for the up and down arrow button. By clicking on it, you go to a new screen where you can see all the information that is displayed as soon as you enter Mi Fit. Touch and hold the button to the right of each item to highlight it, then drag it to the position you want it to be. Also, you can hide some section by dragging the element just below the Hidden Elements part. This way you will leave your initial screen of Mi Fit to your liking. Don't forget to click on the Save button.
Add new users
If you are using a scale to measure the evolution of your weight, in addition to other questions such as body mass index, visceral fat and other details, you can count on profiles for each family member in the same application. Something very useful if you keep track through a common tablet for everyone, for example.
The key is that each user can leave their data registered individually, even if it is on the same device. Just click on the weight section or the body score section. In these sections there is a bar between the graphs and the detailed information. In it you can see the button +, which refers to the creation of new profiles. Click on it to establish a new nickname, measurements and age of birth for another person who wants to register their data.
In this way, you just have to click on your photo or your profile and see the data registered in this regard. As simple as that.
Customize Workouts
If you're an athlete with a certain foundation, you'll know that keeping your heart rate and pace at a certain level will help you achieve your goals. Well then, Mi Fit allows you to configure certain alerts that help and assist you during training so you don't slow down. It is not the same as a personal trainer who yells at you and motivates you to continue, but it is a great help.
Just choose the type of training to record: outdoor running, treadmill running, outdoor cycling or walking. Then click on the cogwheel next to the GO button. Here you can configure some aspects of the training, among which are pace or speed alertsActivate them to set a minimum rate below which a notification is triggered to let you know that you are stopping. In this way, with vibrations on your Mi Band bracelet, or through the mobile with notifications, you will be alerted when you are not complying with that established minimum.
Quantify other sports and activities
Don't panic if you enter the training profile and you can't find the activity or sport you're going to do. Mi Fit and the Mi Band can measure many other different workouts But you have to select it from another point in the application.
Skip to the profile tab and scroll down to the More section. Here you will find the Tag action option. Within the new screen you can choose a wide variety of sports. This is an experimental feature, so the recorded he alth data may not be very accurate.But it's a way to more specifically add up those calories burned and active time around certain exercises.
Pair with Google Fit
The Mi Fit app does not work alone. In fact, for some time now, it has been compatible with Google Fit. That is to say, that all the data measured through the mobile or the bracelet are recorded by the Google tool. In this way, if at any time you change the system in which you measure your workouts, or your wearables or sports devices, they will not have been lost
All you have to do is click on the profile tab and look for the Add account function. Here you can add your Google user account The application automatically dumps all the information registered in the Google system, leaving the data safe for you to continue using My Fit or any other system and do not lose any information.Calories burned, workouts completed, kilometers traveled... all this data can also be consulted through the Google Fit application, as if it were a history of your entire he alth, even though it was collected through Xiaomi systems and devices.
