Google Fit: Make every step count

When you set fitness goals it�s important that you have the tools in place to check in on your progress. So to help you keep track of how far you�ve come, Google Fit now estimates distance and calories burned. Simply update your profile to include gender, height and weight and we�ll let you know how far you�ve gone and estimated calories you�ve burned off throughout the day and during your workouts.

Also, you�ll now have a new way to look back over your fitness history. As you scroll down your timeline you�ll be able to look at your activities grouped by days, weeks or months and get a sense of how your activities impact your fitness over time.

Finally, to help keep those fitness goals top-of-mind, we�re also releasing a Google Fit widget and an Android Wear watch face. Now with a quick glance at your phone or watch, you�ll be able to see how close you are to your goal and stay motivated.

So whether you want to run a half-marathon, work off that cupcake or simply move a bit more each week, these new additions to Google Fit will help you stay on track to reach your fitness goals.
