What sort of average strain do we think itās gonna take to win this thing?
19+
Sleeping well (high performance) and shit recovery (yellow). Iām drinking an insane amount of water and eating well before I go to sleep. Da fuqqq is going on fellas
Got the J&J vaccine at 3pm Wednesday. Interesting sleep Thursday night. Huge spike in respiratory rate.

I was right at 7 yesterday. Already took myself out of contention.
Whoever can keep up an average strain of 19+ over a 30 day period may need to rest for the whole month of May.

Yellow isnāt shit recovery. Yellow is your āstandard baselineā. It really needs to be a different color.
But
Green - push extra hard on workouts.
Yellow - do normal workouts.
Red - think active recovery.
Thatās the idea behind the whoop. Understand when your body is ready to be pushed.

I had a slow start yesterday.
But Iām shooting for an average of 15-18 a day going forward and weāll see what happens.
Worst case; you get more fit.
Not seeing a downside lol

Very true. I personally have a hard time breaking the 15 strain mark, which I think I have only done a handful of times since Iāve been on Whoop. This may be a motivator to increase my cardiovascular strength.

Not sure how you train; but Iām normally a cycling gui and found that it takes 1 hour plus on the bike to get a āgoodā strain score.
I picked up running? 30+ minutes at a good pace? Easy 15+ strain.
Just mess around with stuff til you find a good one for you!

I try to implement cardio 1-2 times a week into my routine, whether that be a spin class or actual cycling now that it is warming up. The rest of my days are focused on strength and yoga, which donāt yield much strain.
I caution too much with too much cardio because I can lose weight very easily. Could just be a matter of adding more cardio into my routine and eating a bunch more.

I typically do a strength work every day. Add in a HIIT workout on Tuesday and Thursday with a group of coworkers. On days when Iām in the green, Iāll add in a run to get to my peak strain score. I tend to use running on weekends as well to get to my strain goal.
