OK, stop what you're doing right now and download the Moves app.

Moves for Android just launched and became available in the play store. This is a fitness app with literally zero downsides.

It's a free app. And to use it, you just have to.... do nothing! Unlike most "quantified self" and fitness app, which you have to remember to configure, use and download data from, Moves just works in the background. It figures out what activity you're doing, then tracks it, keeping a timeline of what you did, what your distance was, etc. 

It runs all the time. You can forget about it for two weeks. But when you check it, the app will tell you about all your cumulative activity on each day since you launched it. 

This is the one app I was sad to give up when I dumped the iPhone and started using the Moto X. In fact it was my "Pick of the Week" Tuesday when I appeared on the MacBreak Weekly show:

I'm really glad they shipped this for Android:
