Since launch, Google Health has allowed you to connect your favorite apps and devices to the Google Health experience. Now, the workouts you track in other apps and devices and sync to Google Health can count toward your Cardio Load, as long as the other app or device has tracked your heart rate data during that workout. This means workouts you track on other wearables like a Garmin or Apple Watch and sync to Google Health will earn Cardio Load.
