Many current Android phones have in their customization layer a function that is increasingly in demand. And we all like to know how many steps we take a day. Something that prevents us from having to buy wearables or quantifying bracelets to measure our physical activity. It is not a super detailed data, but knowing that we walk more than 10,000 steps a day can help us maintain a he althy lifestyle. So, if we can count on it on our mobile, which we always carry with us, why buy other devices that you have to charge? This is what you must do to have all your he alth data.
Use Google Fit
Google has its own he alth application. A tool designed to measure your physical activity, set goals to meet and, ultimately, establish a he althy lifestyle that you can monitor from your mobile. It's not the flashiest sports app, but has many advantages
Being a Google service, it is also the reference for other applications and tools. For example, you can link your Xiaomi smart scale to collect the weight data in this profile and have more information about your progress. You can even use Google Fit to record all your steps and later dump them into games like Pokémon GO or Harry Potter Wizards Unite, where you'll be rewarded with unlocking portkeys or hatching Pokémon eggs, without having to constantly carry the game open with you draining battery.So it's a double value to always carry on your mobile
The good thing is that Google Fit is available for both mobile Android and iPhone It can be found for free on the Google Play Store and on the App Store. Once installed, it only takes a minute to set everything up to start counting your physical activity. Obviously you must register your Google account so that all this data is unified in the same profile. Apart from this you will only have to set a couple of daily activity time or step goals for the Google Fit circles, their way of displaying these goals, to make sense. And that's it, you can start walking.
