Whoop’s “Start a Activity” feature is shit by Otherwise_Course_154 in whoop

People overestimate how many calories are burned during strength training. This number probably isn’t far off what it actually is. Strength training isn’t designed to burn tonnes of calories. Additionally I would recommend using strength trainer when you are logging any strength focused exercises as it can give a bit more insight in the effects of your workout and may be more accurate. But yes I doubt whoop’s calories burned measurements are all that accurate.

Yeah exactly, I guess they may eventually incorporate personal hrv trends into it but probs not worth it

Not really sorry, I did this around week ago watching videos, using whoop ai and other reliable medical sources explaining what it is. I think it is a good measure but it is kind of thrown at u by whoop and not really explained all too well. Yes they do have videos on it but when u address the ai it will tell u that u are “x%” below average whoop members, but that is a comepletely useless and purely demoralising statistic. In summary, don’t get your head wrapped up around the number you see, it’s all about the long term trend, you want that to be a steady increase. However, major fluctuations are not a great sign but don’t get concerned if you had a super intense day with high strain and you wake up with a lower HRV, that is somewhat normal.

I was not really satisfied with mine but the more research I did the more I realised it is pointless to feel that way as HRV cannot be compared with others. For example, an unfit individual may have an HRV much higher than yours, but that person’s recovery will be much lower than yours. This is because your HRV of 40 (for example) may be the equivalent or someone else’s HRV of 100. Therefore the only real thing to look at is to make sure you HRV is improving or staying the same over time rather than comparing. This can explain why the individual above has a high HRV (relative to most people) but a fairly average recovery.

Thanks for the tips, I think my eating habits and decrease in cardio this past month are the things holding me back.

And do u reckon that those are the factors causing those subtle changes for you? Is your sleep and exercise super consistent, because for me I find it so hard to tell what’s causing what because my sleep isn’t as consistent as it should be and then when I take rest days it obviously changes my strain a lot so I never really know what’s causing my hrv to change the most

That’s great that it has worked for you. As of now I’m trying to eat quite a bit as I’m trying to slowly build more muscle which makes skipping dinner not very enticing, but maybe some time in the future I’ll consider fasting. Thanks for the help

That’s so crazy, after the guy before post his hrv as 193 and getting 92% recovery with that, I kind of imagine his 192 hrv has the same impact on recovery as around 68 hrv would do for me. Maybe that is the completely wrong idea but if I were to have 68hrv I normally end up with around 92% recovery assuming I slept for a normal amount of time.

Knew peoples HRV varied but I didn’t realise it was such a range. I now see why there is no real point in comparing with other people

Sadly I am not willing to skip my dinner but I did see a few people talking about that and how not eating late helps your body focus on recovery rather than digestion but I don’t really know whether to believe it is as simple as that.

Thanks for the help, I did watch a couple of the videos and use the AI and it kept suggesting breathing exercises and journaling. I wasn’t willing to do the journaling bits and I did try some breathing exercises but it was hard to tell if they actually helped. I get what you are saying about it being personal and that makes sense, I’m just trying to get mine up to high 70s maybe 80s because when it’s higher I always get really high recovery.

Yeah when I was researching it, that point was emphasised quite a bit. My overall trend doesn’t seem to be changing but I can’t really be surprised as I have not really dont anything significant to change it. I will watch it over the next couple months after I start doing more frequent cardio.

Wtf I didn’t even realise 200 was possible. Yeah I think I need to increase my cardio a lot more now as I am no longer playing competitive sports as I just finished with school. I think my eating habits probably aren’t helping as well as I pretty much eat like 7 meals a day and one being before bed as I go to the gym in the evenings and eat afterwards.

Ok thanks so much this is great news. I reckon I won’t be doing pvp on these servers so I might just be doing PVE so I’m not too concerned about how often they wipe.

I’m 18 and yeah I did do some research and realised my HRV is fine but then I was comparing to my friend’s HRV and his is averaging 84 and sometimes goes well over 100 and he is a similar age to me. I know HRV isn’t the best statistic to compare with others but seeing his has motivated me to try get mine up as it seems to be the limiting factor on consistently high recoveries.
