**Year Over Year requires Apple HealthKit permission.** How do you know if you’re making progress? Year Over Year SHOWS you by comparing your activity today against last year so you can see how you’re progressing over time. Fitness is seasonal. Your routine in January is different than May. Your goals in September are different than August. Instead of comparing against last week or last month, focus on last year so you can see how you’re tracking in THIS season and anticipate what you’ll be capable of the rest of the year. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Choose from 11 Apple Health metrics: * Steps * Active Calories * Walking & Running Distance * Running Distance * Flights Climbed * Exercise Time * Stand Hours * VO2 Max * Cycling Distance * Workout Count * Workout Duration SEE YOUR TRENDS Every metric includes an interactive chart. Scrub through months to see exactly how your numbers have changed over time. Toggle between per day and total views, or comparisons of the full prior period vs the period to date, to get the perspective that matters most to you. GLANCE AT YOUR PROGRESS Add home screen widgets to check your year-over-year progress without even opening the app. Pick any metric and see your current numbers, last year's numbers, and the percentage change — all at a glance.
