Let’s start from the beginning … Worn by players like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jessica and Nelly Korda, Whoop is a personal digital fitness and health coach. Think Apple Watch on steroids (and without the clockface!). It provides real-time feedback on sleep, recovery and health to help optimise training – whether you’re an elite athlete or casual runner.
Having recently started wearing a Whoop band, I’ve just come across the Whoop podcast.
And I am HOOKED.
Whoop’s series of podcasts is equal parts fascinating and educational. But what I love most is that it covers a lot of women’s health issues in a really practical way; From better sleep and how to train at every stage of your life, to optimising your hormones and what happens to your body during menopause.
