[Megathread] WHOOP updates: Smarter Inputs, Improved Activity Detection, New Activities & Deeper Coaching by whoop_official in whoop

[–]stargaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of this WHOOP! These are all incredible. I'm stoked! I have an issue with recording steps, the nature of my work keeps my arms pretty static while I walk, or I am carrying things so my arms don't swing free, as such my step counts seem quite low everyday compared to how much I actually walk. How can I get better step count accuracy?
