Only just started my journey, I was drinking every night not a massive amount but 7 days a week it soon adds up. I’ve noticed my sleep is much better. I’ve got a whoop strap and my sleep rating an recovery have both jumped since I’ve cut down on alcohol. Another change is my resting heart rate is lo

Yes yes yes a 1000 times yes. I used to work out from 2000-2130 with the last 45 mins being cardio. I too used to "sleep" normally or so I thought. But since I got a whoop band I realised that my quality of sleep is piss poor. While my H/R goes down to normal from HIIT in 15 mins resting HR at night

The power zone programs (discover, build, peak) seem to me to be designed to be your main priority during that block of training. I don't think it's particularly realistic to do a 4 day split like what you're describing at the same time. Not one of the programs, but all of Wilpers' PZ rides this yea

In your case though. I’d probably start with a sleep study. Or maybe even before that, you coul

I started wearing a whoop band and my recovery score has helped me predict when I am going to have a bad day so I can plan for extra rest, low impact activities, etc.

The main reason I originally got a Whoop was for the sleep tracking and insights. That’s still the number one feature for me, and it’s definitely helped me sleep better. I’ve tried sleep tracking on Apple Watch and Samsung before, but none of them are as easy to wear 24/7 as the Whoop. The comfort m

In the same exact boat! Got a few really nice watches that I prefer to wear out, but dislike then losing out on the health tracking. I’m not about to wear two watches at the same time, so… been deciding between the faceless Whoop band, or possibly the rumored Google faceless fitbit band that Steph C

I believe it’ll be better to go for fitness trackers like whoop bands if you’re primarily buying it j for health
