Track Activity with Your Phone (Android)

Want to track your activity using an Android phone?* Google Fit is a free, easy-to-use app that uses your phone’s built-in sensors to track steps and other movement. Once set up, you can sync your activity data to Healthy Choice using the Health Connect app.

Before getting started, ensure that the Healthy Choice app is installed on your phone, and that Health Connect is available on your device (learn more here).
