I Wore a WHOOP Band for a Year *what happened*

I've worn a Whoop strap for an entire year and at first I hated it. It's super

leggy. The strap is disgusting. And

let's be real, women kind of ignored, but I have the ability to put my ego aside and admit when I am wrong because my thoughts kind of shifted. This week,

I'm going over the pros, cons, changes we've made, and discuss whether it is actually worth your money. Because

despite the strap being free sometimes, it is actually the most expensive activity tracker out there, which we'll get to.

A year ago, I tested every major fitness tracker and I hated on Whoop. I'm just

over you. I'm just over you. Take your

Whoop strap off your wrist. Oh my god.

What the hell is this? It's just like hanging like this. Mhm. It was probably my least favorite. I had an awful experience. Why? The sleep data takes

experience. Why? The sleep data takes forever to load. I'm there in the morning just like waiting. Aura 3

seconds. Apple 3 seconds. Got all those whoop. I don't know. And sometimes it

whoop. I don't know. And sometimes it just went missing. They have these suggested wake up times which are 100% unrealistic. Yeah. It's like, okay, uh,

unrealistic. Yeah. It's like, okay, uh, for tomorrow you have to sleep until 8:00 a.m. I'm like, cool. Okay, I have a

8:00 a.m. I'm like, cool. Okay, I have a meeting then. Like, what do you want me

meeting then. Like, what do you want me to do? And as someone who has an Apple

to do? And as someone who has an Apple Watch and Aura Ring, I personally didn't think the Whoop had anything special that those couldn't offer. Or Ring, I love specifically for tracking my

menstrual cycle and my sleep. And then I used my Apple Watch to primarily track my workouts and just like Apple tech as things like find my phone. And when I first went into it, Whoop, I felt just

really ignored the things as a woman I specifically need like accounting for my menstrual cycle. So after a month, it

menstrual cycle. So after a month, it collected dust for a month. Mhm. I

didn't use it. And then I realized I paid for a year membership. So I decided to use it. And this is what happened. I

was like, you know what? I'm a YouTuber.

Maybe I'll make a video about this. I'll

keep wearing it and I won't lag as it grew on me. I got the bug after I trashed it on the internet. I hate you.

I hate you. Oh no. And why? I love my Apple Watch to gamify workouts. I love

Aura Ring cuz it gamifies my sleep. And

what did Whoop do gamified what us type A's are awful at? Recovery. Oh yes, it forced me to want to actually do recovery things. I'm going to go over

recovery things. I'm going to go over the cost breakdown, the pros, the cons, who specifically this is for in this video, but let me just kind of go through the timetable, which I think is a realistic thing of what you can experience when you get a Whoop. Whoop's

main thing is strain, which is kind of an algorithm of all your output you have in a day and recovery, which is primarily HRV focused. The lower the HRV, the lower your recovery, but the

strain also accounts for your resting heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep performance to calculate how recovered you are. So every morning you're giving

you are. So every morning you're giving a green which means you recovered, a yellow which means moderate and red which means you went drinking last night.

Speaking of drinking, most importantly it does link specific habits and how they influence your recovery. And this

is what I really started to love about it. But I did find it a little

it. But I did find it a little problematic because there was times I felt great but I was in the red or yellow. So I was like should I not push

yellow. So I was like should I not push myself but I feel good. On the flip side sometimes I was in the green and I was like I feel like crap. I think I should take a rest day. It's telling me I'm

fine. But then am I just being a wuss

fine. But then am I just being a wuss and I should just date and go it? Or am

I actually feeling like crap? And it

just, you know, not perfect. However, it

did gify it for me. As a type A individual, I can go about no sleep grind and I'm fine. That's just me. I

can just say keep going, keep going, and I don't see the benefit of slowing down cuz I don't really like sleep. I don't

like sitting. I'm like, why am I going to do this? And suddenly one day I did sauna and I saw it improve my recovery score and it said great. Yesterday the

sauna improved your recovery score and I was like, "Oh my god, this is a game.

This is a game.

It just became fun." So what did I start want to do? What's a cold plunge going to do? Breathing,

to do? Breathing, meditating, stretching, foam roller.

Suddenly I was like, "Oh, I actually want to do all these things cuz I actually see the benefit. I can actually link that." Hey, doing cold plunge did

link that." Hey, doing cold plunge did affect my HRV. You can't Oh, there's a seagull on my railing. Anyways, hi my

dude. How you doing? I got an audience.

dude. How you doing? I got an audience.

Can I ask you your opinion about the Whoop strap?

Remember with an activity tracker, it is a nice way to see trends, but you can't assume it's completely accurate.

Thank you. Thank you. So yes, other trackers like Aura, Garmin, all those have recovery focus in them, but I find they all just have one primary thing and Whoop really just have it in your face

of like your cold plunge affected your recovery. You need to sleep more. You

recovery. You need to sleep more. You

need to relax more. So it's less about just sleep and more of the recovery aspects for athletes. It's not all it does. We'll talk more about it, but

does. We'll talk more about it, but that's just the primarily in your face.

Just like Aura's like sleep in your face, Apple's like, "Let's send you more subscriptions." So, let's talk price.

subscriptions." So, let's talk price.

Let's be real. Whoop doesn't sell you a strap. It doesn't send you a watch. It

strap. It doesn't send you a watch. It

sells you a subscription. Let's break it down. As of 2025, it's about $30 monthly

down. As of 2025, it's about $30 monthly USD. And for a year plan, it's 239 USD.

USD. And for a year plan, it's 239 USD.

For a 24-month plan, it's 309 USD. This

includes a Whoop band. It's like the actual little Whoop plastic thing. One

band, the black one, but you know, everyone upgrades for the most part to a color they choose. So, there's 30 to 100 bucks with the subscription. gives you

access to all the app features, weekly monthly performance reports, and the new AI coach. And yes, you must subscribe to

AI coach. And yes, you must subscribe to use the band. If not, it's just a piece of fancy rubber bracelet. It's not that fashionable. Now, the problem is it adds

fashionable. Now, the problem is it adds up. $300 is still cheaper than most

up. $300 is still cheaper than most Apple Watches for a year, but suddenly you wear it for 2 years, 600, and boom, it's more expensive than the Apple Watch. Aura also has a similar problem.

Watch. Aura also has a similar problem.

It's a cheaper membership. You have to pay for the ring. I am slightly biased because I'm grandfathered in with Aura, so I don't have subscriptions. So, yeah,

it has nothing to do with me being a YouTuber. I got gifted it a long time

YouTuber. I got gifted it a long time ago. I think I've had Aura Ring for 6

ago. I think I've had Aura Ring for 6 years now. I'm going to rapid fire go

years now. I'm going to rapid fire go over almost all the features that Whoop can give you. It primarily tracks your sleep, which is hours needed, sleep consistency, sleep efficiency, high sleep stress, how many hours, how much

light, deep, and REM sleep you got. Then

it does your recovery which is primarily heart rate variability, resting heart rate, respiratory rate and sleep performance which they calculate into your total recovery score. Then also you have your strain which accounts for your workouts. This is how many steps, your

workouts. This is how many steps, your strength training and your heart rate in different zones like zone 1 to three and another section of zone 4 to 5. You can

use it to track a wide variety of activities and workouts. Whether it be specific strength training or activities such as air compression, assault bike, baby wearing, berries, bartending, baseball basketball bodybuilding

breath work, chess, chiropractor, cleaning climber communioning curling, cycling, dancing, dog walking, fishing, foam rolling, football, gymnastics hit handball horseback riding, ice, you get it. You can pretty much track any kind of

activity/movement, even relaxation and things like sauna. Then it will track the basics like your steps, calories, recovery, sleep needed and time in bed, restorative sleep, sleep efficiency,

sleep consistency, hours sleep, V2 max and many, many more. Now we talk all about these. Who do I think Whoop is

about these. Who do I think Whoop is actually best for? I personally think it is really primarily focused towards athletes and people who have high energy output who really want to examine how their lifestyle habits affect their

recovery. Second, if your focus is not

recovery. Second, if your focus is not on your activity tracking necessarily, like you don't want to focus on steps and all that, you want to focus on recovery. That might just be something

recovery. That might just be something whatever medical things you're going through or you have a really high stress life. It does do this. The thing is it

life. It does do this. The thing is it does now track steps. You can track your workouts. You can do all that. It does

workouts. You can do all that. It does

have GPS for running. But the one lack you'll probably notice with why also Whoop might not be for you is there is no screen. Pro and con. Some people will

no screen. Pro and con. Some people will love that it's just one less screen in their life. But if you're someone like

their life. But if you're someone like me who's a runner, I want to be able to look at my paces and not look at my phone because when you whip out your phone, you crack it like this. Mhm. Mhm.

That's what happens when you're on a run and you whip out your phone. Mhm. I

would also say if you're a longevity biohacking bro who likes to see how caffeine affects the rest of your life, yeah, whoop, we'll do this. And also, I would say it's kind of nice for coaches or communities because it does have a

community feature, which we'll talk about later. Who I don't think it's for,

about later. Who I don't think it's for, honestly, beginners. I feel it's too

honestly, beginners. I feel it's too much data. It's not really beneficial.

much data. It's not really beneficial.

It's more about you want to care about those like foundational habits. Like I

feel like a Fitbit's great if you just want more movement. An Apple Watch is great if you just want to get in more movement. If you want ability to track

movement. If you want ability to track your workouts, even Aura, I don't love Aura as an activity tracker, but you can definitely do it. It will track your steps. It'll track your workouts. I just

steps. It'll track your workouts. I just

feel those are a lot easier and a lot more userfriendly. Like Whoop is really

more userfriendly. Like Whoop is really a lot more in the data. Not necessarily

all the data is great. I just find like it would be really overwhelming for someone just starting out and you would kind of see it and be like I don't even know what to look at and it would just collect dust versus like Fitbit's just like here's steps cool I'll just look at

my steps and nothing wrong with that I started with the Fitbit and that's the you know the pipeline which speaking of pipeline is uh also not for anyone who becomes obsessed with data I think you have to be able to separate yourself as

a person and any activity tracker like I said back to one of my issues with Whoop is there was many of days I woke up feeling great and it told me I was not recovered and it really played with mind games. And at the end of the day, these

games. And at the end of the day, these things are not 100% accurate. They're a

nice tool you can use, but the most important tool is becoming intuitive with yourself. And you should always go

with yourself. And you should always go over feel of yourself, specifically Garmin, because Garmin is a bully.

Oh, you're back. Cute. You ran. I must

have blinked.

You can do 20k best pace. And Garmin was like, "That was cute." But you didn't do an ultra.

Garmin's mean.

Consider a rest day and perhaps a different hobby.

Lastly, I'd say it's not for someone who wants something easy. I just found Whoop glitchy. Like out of all them, once

glitchy. Like out of all them, once you're in it, it's good, but I just found like Apple Apple's so easy. Aura

is also pretty straightforward. Garmin

also quite all over the place in terms of the interface and just a lot of data and just syncing things up. And I just found it challenging. So, like if you're like my best friend Lexi, who I love and can save you because she was an ER

nurse, she cannot figure out Wi-Fi. So,

I will never tell her to get a Whoop.

Speaking of, this leads me into the biggest problems I had and the biggest cons of a Whoop. one, the sleep is laggy. It will track your sleep, which

laggy. It will track your sleep, which is great. Your REM, your deep, your

is great. Your REM, your deep, your quality, but for whatever reason, it takes like an hour. And I upgraded to the new model. I tried the 4.0 and now I'm on the 5.0 and still it just like I wake up, I go to look at my sleep and I'm like, and then after like 10

minutes, sometimes I'll see sleep pending and then you like process it and sometimes it's already I just found it like versus Aura, you just open it and you just see it loading, load, load, load, load, and like 5 seconds later I have my sleep. And I know I shouldn't be

like the first second I get up, but it's not even the first second even. It's

just like the first time I open the app later in the day, I'm like, I'm going in. I want to see me sleep. And then

in. I want to see me sleep. And then

every blue moon, it just doesn't process my sleep. It's probably because it's in

my sleep. It's probably because it's in the wrong spot on my wrists and it but just every once in a while. So, it's

gotten better though. I would say over the last year it's gotten a lot better, which I appreciate, but I'm just saying le two. My biggest pet peeve of Whoop

le two. My biggest pet peeve of Whoop 100% is it's not hygienic in my opinion.

It's got this cottony materially band, which is the most common one, and I just feel it collects a lot of dirt and it also takes a long time to dry. So, I

don't take it into the shower with me to wash it or I can't wash it every day because it takes a long time to dry.

Therefore, I'm bringing this gross thing that's been in the gym out in the sweat out in downtown Vancouver with me into my bed. No. So, I had to buy a second

my bed. No. So, I had to buy a second strap. And I have a strap that I wear to

strap. And I have a strap that I wear to bed and out in public, which it just just felt like an added cost. And there

they do have the ones that are washable and like waterproof, but I'm not going to lie, they look like a 14-year-old boy watch strap or just like they know that's that's mean. They're just like so

so sporty, says the girl with an Apple Watch Ultra. I get it. I get it. I just

Watch Ultra. I get it. I get it. I just

For me, I just would only wear that if I was going swimming. And I know they're waterproof. So, I'm just torn. I'm

waterproof. So, I'm just torn. I'm

always torn with the strap. They're

cute. They're quite fashionable, which we'll talk about styling. Another con in a second, but yeah, I just feel they're kind of gross. Three, the heart rate sensor. It's decent, but just realize

sensor. It's decent, but just realize it's not going to be as accurate as one worn around your chest strap. But the

cool thing about Whoop, you can wear it in other spots. And four, of course, subscription. So once you stop paying

subscription. So once you stop paying the subscription, you lose your data and the ability to use it. Five, the calorie count. I'm going to be honest, this is

count. I'm going to be honest, this is probably one of my biggest pet peeves with Whoop. And we'll talk about the

with Whoop. And we'll talk about the changes. I know I've been hating on a

changes. I know I've been hating on a lot, but I found the calories unbelievably low, which I think is very problematic. I don't know if it's just

problematic. I don't know if it's just not properly calculated for a woman, but the most it's ever told me I've burned is like 2,200. And I mean, like, I've ran a half marathon, done a weight training session, and it says I burned

2,200. And if I wasn't educated enough

2,200. And if I wasn't educated enough and I fully just trusted this and I ate that, I would be in a severe calorie deficit. And as someone who's catering

deficit. And as someone who's catering towards athletes, I think that's very problematic. And I I've looked into it.

problematic. And I I've looked into it.

I don't know if things are calculated wrong, but most days it says I'm in the 1300 to 2,000. And I know for a fact, I know myself, I'm never below 2,000 calories burned in a day. So as someone

who caters towards women and reds and women undereating sports being such a problem, I'm being a little strict. I

don't know if anyone from Whoop will say this, but just like I just need that talked about more. And it's not all about calories. Like once again, these

about calories. Like once again, these are not accurate, but I just think like telling me I ran 30k and I burned 2200 calories and thinking someone uneducated would see that and think that's the max

that like let's just say a little harsh criticism I have. Uh back to now a funny one. Six, the battery pack. It's kind of

one. Six, the battery pack. It's kind of stupid looking. It is nice cuz you can

stupid looking. It is nice cuz you can charge it on the go, but I will never charge it on the go cuz it looks ridiculous on my wrist. Seven. Um, the

GPS if you lose it is a little problematic. I left one at my brother's

problematic. I left one at my brother's wedding. Couldn't find it. And the last

wedding. Couldn't find it. And the last biggest problem is the wake up recommendations. It's nice in theory.

recommendations. It's nice in theory.

It's like you have the sleep debt. It

tells you how many hours you get to get back to your peak sleep. Cuz if you didn't know, like over time, if you're not sleeping full 7 to 8 that your body needs, you collect something called sleep debt. And so they actually

sleep debt. And so they actually calculate, which I think is so cool. But

then it gives you these recommendations and it's like, "Yeah, tomorrow sleep until 7:30." And I'm like, "Cool. I got

until 7:30." And I'm like, "Cool. I got

to get up at 5:00 to go to work." Like I know it's not really a Whoop problem, but it's it's very much catered towards like an athlete that can sleep without an alarm. And as someone who's not that

an alarm. And as someone who's not that um and it's very envious of my fiance who is I'm like, "Oh yeah, Maggs can sleep until 7:30." Mhm. I got a Zoom

meeting at 8. Now I started off with the boot 4.0 and then now it's on the 5.0, which is cool. It has the AI coach and I actually really enjoyed this. I thought

it was actually going to be BS, but I did think it actually gave great recommendations. It was a nice little

recommendations. It was a nice little summary at the end of the day of telling me the habits and how they influenced me. And so actually if you're someone I

me. And so actually if you're someone I kind of almost eat my own words at the beginning who said it's overwhelming with the data. I feel the AI coach did a really good way in just plain English summarizing your day or how you can approach your next day if you're

underreovered all that. Once again you got to take it that it's AI and there's problems but I felt it did a good way of just taking all the data and summarize it into like a realistic lifestyle approach. Now, something along this time

approach. Now, something along this time that is actually a cool thing that you said, it talks about habits. A thing I really, really love about Whoop and is what has really kept me going is at the beginning of every day, it shows you a little checklist of habits you did. And

you check all these things. You can

check vitamin D, magnesium, sleeping alone, sleeping in a dark room, and then check these habits you did versus like aura you can do, but you have to like mindfully think of it. Whoop forces it.

It's like, no, tell me what habits you did, and then it will tell you over time how these habits positively or negatively affect you. Like one for example that has always positively affected my recovery and is something

that is in there is drinking element electrolytes as one healthy habit because why I love drinking electrolytes as someone who's running and currently training for a marathon sweats a lot is you need to replenish your electrolytes

because when you sweat you don't just sweat out water you sweat out salt that's why you taste so salty and one big issue I used to suffer from is really bad cramps and I realized it was because I wasn't salting my food and I wasn't having electrolyte supplements so

a lot of you watching if you're someone watching a video about Whoop. I'm

assuming you're working out. You are in the fitness world. You might be training for something. You're working on

for something. You're working on recovery. And one great thing to add to

recovery. And one great thing to add to your recovery routine is electrolytes.

If you're sweating an hour to a day, live in a hot climate, have a very laborous job. Electrolyte supplement can

laborous job. Electrolyte supplement can be great. And I love Element because it

be great. And I love Element because it science-based ratio of 1,000 millig sodium. 200 millig of potassium and 60

sodium. 200 millig of potassium and 60 milligs of magnesium is trusted by players in NFL, NBA, NHL. I won't lie, there's a lot of Whoop sponsored athletes that drink Element. There is a

lot of that correlation. And best of all, tastes delicious. Easy healthy

habit to do. I love the grapefruit, citrus, and chocolate. Delicious. And of

course, I'm not going to tell you about it and not give you guys a deal. If you

go to drinkelement.com/kelty,

you will get one of their bestseller packs, which is a great way to try the most popular flavors like citrus, raspberry, and orange with your purchase. Once again, that's

purchase. Once again, that's drinkment.com/kelty.

drinkment.com/kelty.

Thank you Element for sponsoring this video. Next thing I want to talk about

video. Next thing I want to talk about the best and worst part about Whoop is its style and how it looks. cuz I won't lie. For us girl giries, we care about

lie. For us girl giries, we care about how we look and some of the guys too.

And the whoop is kind of fashion statement and also a fashion what's the term? Um sin. That wasn't the word I'm

term? Um sin. That wasn't the word I'm working for. We'll we'll go with that

working for. We'll we'll go with that first. You can wear it on your wrist.

first. You can wear it on your wrist.

They have a bicep band. And also one of the reason you might have not noticed me about half you're wearing it is you can wear it in other spots. I actually a lot of times just tuck it into my sports bra. They also have garments you can

bra. They also have garments you can wear like sports bras and underwear and tuck it into there. And then also I've heard the accuracy is pretty accurate if you put it on your calf. But a lot of times I've just like tucked it onto my

hip in my pant band or into my sports bra and wear that a lot of the times.

Specifically before I got I eventually saved up and got like one of the nicer bands or like $100 this one cuz for the longest time I just kind of had this ratty old blue one and it just did not go with most outfits. And that's one

problem I'd say with Whoop is also it's very fitnessy. So when I'm wearing a

very fitnessy. So when I'm wearing a fitness outfit, it works. I'm going to also give a tip. Single gals who are looking for a fitnessy boy, it is the best conversation starter. the amount of times I've been wearing that and a dude

has just been like, "Hey, is that the woop? What you think?" So, for my single

woop? What you think?" So, for my single ladies, a lot of firefighters out there asking, "Oh, why I see that? Great conversation

starter." So, there there's a plus of it. So, yeah, the vibe with the right

it. So, yeah, the vibe with the right outfit, it is cool. It's kind of a fashion statement, but then sometimes, like, if I were to wear this with a cute dress, completely ruins it. Sometimes

it's neutral. When I wear it with a white t-shirt like I am now, some people would think, "Oh my god, Kelty, what are you doing? This is awful." And some

you doing? This is awful." And some people would be like, "It looks kind of nice." So, it's up to you. It's a

nice." So, it's up to you. It's a

fashion statement for the worst and for the better. And now they do have straps,

the better. And now they do have straps, like really fancy leather ones and all that, but I'm like, if I'm going to a place that I need a leather whoop strap, I'm just not wearing the Whoop strap.

But that's just me. Some people are completely different. Like my boyfriend

completely different. Like my boyfriend will wear his garment anywhere. And

yeah, I just call him boyfriend. I'm

trying to get used to it. Fiance.

Fiance. Speaking of other people, another thing I do love is the community feature. There is a community. You can

feature. There is a community. You can

join different communities. I'm in like Whoop Marathoners, Whoop Pilates, Whoop Vancouver, and then you could just see where your strain is. It's quite

gimmicky and after a little bit, you're bored of it. But you can also make your own groups with your friends and see each other's strain or sleep, which I kind of like. I wish there was more communities with activity trackers. Like

Fitbit used to have it, but I do see how it's very problematic. I feel the Fitbit one caused people to like start doing 100,000 steps every single day to win these, and that's an issue. So, I don't know what the line is. I think the line

is just Strava.

just import all these distra which your Whoop does. Your Whoop does import

Whoop does. Your Whoop does import Drava. So another bonus. Next, let's

Drava. So another bonus. Next, let's

talk the thing that I hated the most about Whoop and was probably my biggest turnaround is women's health. For the

longest time, Aura was the clear winner for me when it came to women's cuz it was the first activity tracker to really embrace us monitoring our menstrual cycles and how it infects our moods performance and it specifically you can

link it to natural cycles which is I think unbelievable. It's just such a

think unbelievable. It's just such a empowering way for us women to just get more knowledge about our menstrual cycle. And Whoop just when I first got

cycle. And Whoop just when I first got it had nothing, absolutely no acknowledgement of it. And it just felt really counterintuitive that it's like taking all these HRV and recovery things and like it's not accounting for your menstrual cycle which like depending

what phase you're in, it makes such a difference from your recovery aside from all the other stats you have available.

And I've seen the shift and this is why I also want to acknowledge and why I even kind of want to make this video.

I've seen how much of a insight now Whoop is doing its menstrual cycle.

Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, I do think Whoop, a lot of its algorithm and a lot of its stuff was calculated towards men, especially at the beginning. And I don't think that's

beginning. And I don't think that's necessarily a Whoop. It's a just general population about research specifically for sports and recovery is primarily male dominant. Most of the studies

male dominant. Most of the studies you'll see don't necessarily say male, women, athlete, and a lot are just focused on male athletes. So there's a lot of data recovery, sports

performance, all this stuff that sadly is just really male focused. So Whoop

very likely took the most recent data, used that into the algorithm. And the

reality is most that recent data was male focused. And so when I start seeing

male focused. And so when I start seeing apps or activity trackers adding in menstrual cycling into it, I'm like, thank you. You guys are doing I see what

thank you. You guys are doing I see what you're doing. And I've just noticed

you're doing. And I've just noticed every month over the last year specifically, it's like more woman focused, more women focused. And this is what made me jump on the Whoop bandwagon. I'm like, if every month

bandwagon. I'm like, if every month you're doing improvements to focus your activity tracker more towards women's health, we're front of mind and that means good things are coming. So, right

now, Whoop, I'm going to clap. I will

forever vouch behind a brand that like keeps just going forward and keeps making improvements and I really really think Whoop is doing that. All

allegedly, I don't work for the brand.

I'm not like deep journalist down into all this, but that's just like as a user, my own thing I'm noticing. So,

overall, what are my final thoughts? My

favorite part, you don't have to wear it on your wrist. I think that's such a game changer. I do find like I won't

game changer. I do find like I won't lie, a lot of times I kind of want to know when I go dancing for six hours what happened. Like it's interesting as

what happened. Like it's interesting as a data nerd, but at the same time I don't want to wear my Apple Watch Ultra to the a fancy Italian restaurant. So

that's a nice thing about Whoop. You can

hide in different places. Two, the

battery life. It is unbelievable. It is

one of the best in terms of battery life. Nothing can breathe like Corso,

life. Nothing can breathe like Corso, but I say maybe charge it twice a month, if that. Third, out of all the activity

if that. Third, out of all the activity trackers I've ever worn, it does the best job of linking specific habits, the specific healthy habits, which you know I love talking about on this channel,

with how they affect my recovery. They

also seem to see how they affect my sleep, too. It does do that, but really

sleep, too. It does do that, but really primarily how it affects my recovery, which is such an important part about fitness and specifically like sports related or anyone who's just working towards the fitness goals is so

important. Which lastly, it does have an

important. Which lastly, it does have an athlete focus to it, which I really like. And I think whether you are an

like. And I think whether you are an athlete or whether you just want to perform like an athlete, whether you just train for a marathon, a 5K, weight training, a high rocks competition, I do

feel it really does a good job of for us regular people who don't have coaches around and we do still need to primarily focus on recovery. It kind of gives you a bit of that coaching attitude a

little, which I like that it tells you when to slow down. And I feel a lot of people who are athlete focused, athlete background have troubles turning off.

And we're all from the idea of more training is better and going to help us perform more. And sometimes these

perform more. And sometimes these activity trackers can do a good job of telling us when to scale back. They're

not perfect, but I found Whoop was actually one of the ones to do that for me and really want to implement things like sauna, not using my screen before bed, foam roller, and even a simple is

it is a great way to see how different supplements affected my recovery because you can put in different supplements.

even has like AG1 in it and you can see how those affect your recovery or sleep and rapid fire. I'm just going to say if you're still torn, here would be my recommendation of other activity trackers. If you mainly want to track

trackers. If you mainly want to track your workouts, get an Apple Watch, a Corso, Garmin, or Polar. If you

primarily want to focus on menstrual cycle, I would say Aura. You can

definitely do this with Whoop, and the other ones do do it, but if that's your main one, Aura is going to be your winner. But if you want to track your

winner. But if you want to track your sleep and recovery, that's your primary focus. Whoop is probably going to be

focus. Whoop is probably going to be most happy with. Note, they all do everything. They all track your

everything. They all track your workouts. They all track your recovery.

workouts. They all track your recovery.

You all track your sleep. So, if you're still like, "Oh my god, I don't." It

doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

You'll be able to do it all. I just feel certain ones are going to have more of that focus. And if that is your focus,

that focus. And if that is your focus, you'll get more joy from it and actually use it. Cuz if your primarily thing is

use it. Cuz if your primarily thing is steps and you get a whoop, it tracks step. It's like buried down in the

step. It's like buried down in the bottom versus Fitbit, it's going to be steps, steps. On the flip side, if your

steps, steps. On the flip side, if your main thing is sleep, it's going to be Orox or is like, did you sleep? Did you

sleep? Did you sleep? Did you sleep? So,

there's my little tip. It would point you in the right direction. But you

can't go wrong. So, don't think about it too much. Speaking of thinking about too

too much. Speaking of thinking about too much, I always say in these videos, but if you're someone who becomes obsessive and these rule your life, you should really reevaluate getting one of these because I feel they're always a tool.

They're a tool to see trends over time.

And Whoop is a great idea to see trends over time of how things healthy habits affect my recovery, sleep, and performance. And that is the point of

performance. And that is the point of these things is they're just to help guide you. And I love the idea that we

guide you. And I love the idea that we can take our health into our own hands.

As much as it's great, we don't all have the ability to go to the doctor every day. And you know what I mean? That it'd

day. And you know what I mean? That it'd

be nice if I could get hooked up every day and wake up with all these things and this is the closest we have right now. So if you can look at it

now. So if you can look at it subjectively and just say, "Hey, this is data. How do I feel though at the end of

data. How do I feel though at the end of the day is most important is my recommendation." And as soon as you

recommendation." And as soon as you start walking around brushing your teeth to get those extra steps in, and maybe it's time to re-evaluate the activity tracker. So, will I continue to wear all

tracker. So, will I continue to wear all three? Yes, because I am a YouTuber.

three? Yes, because I am a YouTuber.

And the more data I have is like relevant to videos and challenges or supplements I try or whatever. And

honestly, I do enjoy Whoop. I'm going to eat my words right now. Is I primarily enjoyed it because I felt the focus shifting more. Not that it's taking away

shifting more. Not that it's taking away from men. I just feel they're putting

from men. I just feel they're putting more focus, research, time, and money towards women and trying to be not a medical device, but allow us to take our own health and wellness into our own hands. And so I will continue to wear

hands. And so I will continue to wear it. Will I be that person who has three?

it. Will I be that person who has three?

Yep. Um, but when people ask why, I just say I'm a YouTuber and I was like, ah, that checks out.

Would I recommend it to anyone else?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Pick

one, you'll be fine. Uh, but I really like Boop. It forced me to want to

like Boop. It forced me to want to gamify recovery at the end. I guess this whole video of unfortunately the subscription sucks. You got to get two

subscription sucks. You got to get two bands because they're a little dirty.

But honestly, once you get a band, they're kind of cute. Am I gaslighting myself? Yes. Uh but the focus on women's

myself? Yes. Uh but the focus on women's recovery and just making me want to recover, which has made me just like good for my physical health, good for my mental health, good for my performance

has been great. And so, you know what?

Whoop! You whoop me. I'm now team whoop.

sometimes look at myself like I hate who I've become, but I also love it. Uh, but

if you guys have worn boob, I'd love to hear your honest opinions of it. One of

my favorite things about my channel is the comment section is almost like second reviews from other people collected. So, if you want someone

collected. So, if you want someone else's opinion who's not a YouTuber, maybe who's not a runner, you know, if you're a powerlifter, if you're a weightlifter, if you're a mom, if you went through pregnancy wearing your Whoop, comment down below your specific

needs for it and your thoughts and then you might find someone who has a bit more of your POV for wearing a Whoop strap down in the comments and leave it if you have something to say. Most

importantly though, have a great day. Go

pet a dog. Love you guys. Fight.
