With the start of every new year comes resolutions. For many of us, one thing above all; vowing to get fit. But with some help from Calendar, this might be the year we follow through. Google introduced Goals in its calendar app for Android and iOS in April 2016. Letting you utilize the free time in your schedule to carve out regular exercise workout sessions. Now it enables you to tap into Fit Apple’s Health app to record and monitor your progress. As described in its blog post, the activity added to either app will sync back to the goals you’ve set in Calendar and mark them accordingly. That effectively means your Apple watch or Android wear watch is linked with Calendar.

Connect To Fit Apps

To connect to one of the fitness apps, you need to open the goal you’ve set. Tap the blue edit button, and select the Connect with Fit or Connect with Apple Heath option. For a new plan, you’re prompted to connect to the app during the creation process. With a visual performance tracker built right into Calendar. And shows you exactly how much of the weekly goal you’ve completed in neat pie charts. It will also adjust your workout schedule based on the time you most often complete it.

With this integration, future goal times will be even more tailored based on when you’re most likely to complete them. Say you set a goal to run at 6:30 every other morning but aren’t hitting your stride until 7:15. Calendar has you covered and will adjust accordingly.

The impact on you at home: Setting exercise resolutions is one thing, but sticking to them is another. The Calendar integration with Health Fit is a great way to encourage us. To carve out a steady routine in any year.
