Here is how to enable Cortana's Lifestyle and Fitness Tracker interest

The Cortana squad has been rolling out new Interests to Cortana's Notebook for a few weeks at present. One of them is the Lifestyle category, with Fitness Tracker as the particular class. (The other new interest is Showtimes + Trailers).

Many of Cortana's characteristics and interests do not roll out to users all at once. Instead, Microsoft tends to push it out slowly, gauging feedback and usage. Lifestyle though is an interesting one: information technology appears that y'all can get the involvement to evidence up by merely saving a favorite place as 'Gym'.

If y'all are unsure on how to save places equally favorites, follow these steps to become the Lifestyle involvement in Cortana

It is not 100% clear if this is a regionally restricted feature or if this works for everyone. We tried it on our phone, and information technology did piece of work, hence this article.

Unfortunately, we have not exactly seen what the Fitness Tracker does, since nosotros tend to hit the gym v to six days a calendar week, ahem. Presumably, Cortana reminds y'all if you have not gone for some fourth dimension and to hitting the racks again. Additionally, it would be interesting to see if the personal assistant gives any other fitness tips.

Update: @sayonical has tweeted usa an image of what happens with Cortana if you miss a workout. See above. Despite the calendar reference, yous exercise not need to schedule a workout. Cortana instead decides this on location and frequency of gym visits.
