Steps taken, heart rate and sleep quality are some of the aspects of health and wellness that wearables track, and a new feature from Whoop now helps users measure the impact of weight lifting on their body. This new feature called Strength Trainer sets itself from other fitness trackers that focus on measuring the cardiovascular system and calorie burn. Instead, it zones in on the musculoskeletal system and specifically speaks to the needs of those who want to measure the muscular load of a workout.
Whoop recently dropped the Spring Refresh collection with seasonally inspired bands like Blossom & Blue Jay to support those who want to stay on top of their health and wellness, and look stylish while doing so.
