New Year’s resolutions are underway, and for many of us, this means getting serious about taking better care of ourselves.
Just the thought of it can feel overwhelming — like you’re gearing up for an uphill battle before you’ve even laced up your trainers.
But what if there was a way to take some of that stress off your plate? Enter WHOOP, a piece of tech that is designed to take the guesswork out of self‑improvement.
Unlike a traditional smartwatch that buzzes with notifications or pressures you to hit certain goals, WHOOP quietly works in the background by tracking your body around the clock, giving you key insights into how you sleep, recover, and train.
