Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a great week!
All physical activity can help you lead a healthier life and with Google Fit, you can track it all in one place!
Senior Planet in New York City will be hosting an in-person class called Getting Started with the Google Fit App on Friday, February 24 at 3:00pm EST.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll get started using Google Fit, an app that often comes preloaded on many Android phones and can be downloaded on any mobile device. Learn to set goals for number of move minutes and to add health details to your profile. Please bring your smartphone to this workshop.
