How to Control Health and Fitness Apps with Gemini on Smartwatch

Gemini integrates with Google Fit, Samsung Health, Fitbit, and other fitness apps to provide hands-free workout control and health tracking. This is especially useful during exercise when touch interaction is impractical.

Starting and Controlling Workouts​

Manage your workouts entirely through voice commands.

  • Start Workouts: Say Start a running workout, Begin strength training, or Start a bike ride to launch fitness tracking in your default app.

  • Specific Apps: Say Start a Samsung Health workout or Begin a Fitbit exercise to use a particular app.

  • Pause and Resume: Say Pause my workout during rest periods and Resume workout when ready to continue.

  • End Workouts: Say Stop my workout or End exercise session to finish tracking and save your activity.

Checking Health Metrics​

Ask Gemini about your current health data and fitness progress.

  • Heart Rate: Say What's my heart rate or Check my pulse for real-time readings from your watch sensor.

  • Step Count: Say How many steps have I taken or What's my step count today for current totals.

  • Calories: Say How many calories have I burned or What's my calorie count for energy expenditure data.

  • Activity Duration: During workouts, say How long have I been exercising or What's my workout time.

Workout History and Goals​

Access past performance and track your progress toward targets.

  • Recent Workouts: Say How was my workout yesterday or What was my last run like to review recent activities.

  • Goal Progress: Say Am I close to my step goal or How's my activity ring to check progress toward daily targets.

  • Weekly Summary: Say How active was I this week or Summarize my exercise this week for broader performance overview.
