WHOOP on The Rich Roll Podcast

This episode is brought to you by Whoop, the wearable health and fitness coach that for five and a half uninterrupted years has delivered me tremendously valuable, highly personalized insights into how my habits impact my sleep, impact my recovery and stress levels so I can up-level those habits and make more informed decisions about the strain I impose upon myself. It keeps me on an optimal growth trajectory and sets me up to show up as my best self more consistently, which is even more urgent for me these days as I rebuild my body in the aftermath of spinal fusion surgery. And one of the key lessons Whoop has helped me learn is that pushing harder isn't the answer. It's knowing when not to, and humbling myself to hold back when my instinct is to hit it like I always used to when I was 23 or even 43. All of which is a long way of saying that Whoop saved me from myself. By decoding my body's reactions to my decisions, now I adjust my training and my work output to ensure I don't exceed what my body can absorb.
