Samsung launched an update for the company's S Health app to coincide with the release of the Gear Fit 2. With this latest release, the company aims to make exercise more enjoyable and fitness goals more attainable. Having trouble getting into shape? Perhaps with Samsung adding some game-like elements to S Health, this will provide the motivation required to get going.

With the latest release of the app, you'll be able to challenge friends to a one-on-one match. A target can be set and the first to reach the agreed goal will be named winner. During the match, S Health will monitor just how much you'd need to do to take the lead, providing automated support to pour yet more effort into keeping fit. No one wants to miss out on obtaining ultimate bragging rights. Verizon is offering the Pixel 4a for just $10/mo on new Unlimited lines The steps total displayed in the app can be compared against friends, those in your age group or from all around the world to see just how you rank against other S Health users. It's a neat system that takes step counting to the next level. From the announcement: "With the new S Health, you also have access to more comprehensive step count information. In addition to being able to monitor step count and distance walked data from each individual source—like your smartphone or wearable device—you can also estimate your total step count with the All steps option. Should you enable All steps, your total number of steps across all devices and select third-party apps will be displayed in the Steps Tracker and the S Health widget."
