Monitor your daily activity on your PC

To keep my diabetes and cholesterol levels under control, my doctor recommended I walk at least an hour every day. I followed your Workshop (‘Record how many steps you walk’), so I’ m familiar with the brilliant Google Fit phone app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fitness&hl=en_GB) that tracks your daily activity.

I recently noticed that the Google Fit website (fit.google.com) has changed to make it easier to monitor your activity on your PC. Go to the site on your PC, log in with your Gmail account, then scroll to the calendar at the bottom. You’ll see orange lines (of varying lengths) beneath each day. Simply click any line to see a detailed breakdown of your activity for that day in the section below.

These orange lines represent the amount of time you walked. You’ll also see how many calories you burned, the distance you covered and how many steps you took. Yo u can change the default orange reading (from the time you walked) to one of the other measurements by clicking the Active Time dropdown menu at the top right (see screenshot). If you feel a little overwhelmed by the amount of information, simply click the coloured icons at the top left (walking, running and so on) to hide those measurements.
