00:00- Now if you just bought a WHOOP 4.0,
00:02or you're planning to buy one,
00:03in this video I'm gonna
cover every single topic
00:06from the hardware, the straps,
the clothes, accessories,
00:10and the software that you need to know
00:12how to get started and how to get going.
00:14Timestamps down below if
you want to get started.
00:16This is gonna be a long video,
so sit down, enjoy the ride,
00:19and if you do plan to buy
one, use the link down below.
00:21You get $30 off your first month.
00:23The link is join.whoop.com/shervin.
00:26Let's start with the straps,
you just bought a WHOOP,
00:28it probably came with a black strap.
00:30The black is usually the
default when you buy.
00:32If you decide to buy a
different color accessory,
00:34those are available too.
00:35We'll talk about this too.
I have a ton of bands here.
00:38I'll kind of show you what they're like.
00:39I prefer the bicep strap,
00:41but some features just
aren't available yet
00:43unless you wear it on your
wrist, that's all gonna change.
00:45But at the time of this recording,
00:47a strength trainer does not work
00:48when you're wearing it on your wrist.
00:49And the first thing you wanna learn is how
00:51to wear your WHOOP strap properly.
00:53We're watching season 10 and
Sabalenka here has a WHOOP,
00:56she's a professional tennis player
00:58and if you look right there,
she's wearing it backwards.
01:01Sabalenka if you need me
to come to a full in-person
01:04WHOOP tutorial, I'm happy to
01:05but this is why you're
watching this video.
01:07I want you to make sure you're
wearing your WHOOP properly
01:09to make sure you get the
most accurate results.
01:10The WHOOP text needs to be
facing you when you're wearing it
01:13on your wrist or bicep
01:14and you want to make sure
01:16that you're latching in
the system the right way.
01:18It should slide in relatively easy
01:19right when you slide it in.
01:21And then the other side, if
you're changing the band,
01:23you can slide that off,
unhook, you'll grab it
01:25and you'll notice that one
01:26of the sides is a little bit longer.
01:28Make sure it slides in real gently.
01:29If it's a little hard to do,
01:30you're probably putting it in backwards.
01:32This will loop around, right?
01:34If it got unhooked and
you're a bit confused,
01:36know that the WHOOP
01:37is gonna wrap all the way over the sensor
01:40and the logo is gonna
be on the end over here.
01:42So if you're like uh-oh, these things
01:43got unhooked, how do we do it?
01:45You want the top of the
curve to be facing upwards.
01:48We'll take this strap
and hook it up and over
01:51because it's more like a mountain
01:52and not like a concave base.
01:54And then I will take this
bottom piece, spin it around
01:57and I'll slide one side in
02:00and then I'll slide the other side in.
02:01And now you have your WHOOP strap.
02:03If you wanna practice clicking it in,
02:04you can reach it over
click, you're good to go.
02:06If you need to open it up,
02:08unclick, slide it onto your wrist.
02:09Ideally you wanna wear it
on your non-dominant hand.
02:12So left side for me
02:13and you want it about one inch
from the top bone up here.
02:17So I try to keep it at
least one inch away.
02:19That's gonna help maximize the accuracy
02:21as well as making sure that
it's on there, not too tight
02:23where you're stopping
blood flow, but it's firm
02:25and it's strong and it's in place.
02:27Also, make sure to wash your WHOOP strap.
02:28Take it off from time to time. Clean it.
02:30It's important, like it's
very easy to wear 24/7.
02:33Cool.
02:33I'm not a big fan of the black strap.
02:34We're gonna go with pink just
so you can see it easier.
02:37But here we go, maybe it's backwards.
02:39As you do this more often,
you'll figure it out.
02:40Just know this can be a little slippery,
02:42like it slides in and out.
02:43So I like to put my finger on one side,
02:45slide it through, it gets stuck.
02:47We wrap this around, we hook one side in,
02:50we hook the other all the way around.
02:52Now it's ready.
02:53When you need to tighten and loosen it.
02:55Always wanna be wrapping
over, whether it's
02:57with a locking mechanism
or the loop, right?
02:59If this comes fully undone, wrap over
03:01and then under and then back in.
03:03So be mindful about that.
03:04That's gonna make sure that your WHOOP
03:05is as secure as possible.
03:06I'll slide it on, boom.
03:09And now we're in, the WHOOP is facing me.
03:12I can read it, right?
03:13It should be the right way
03:14where you're like, I can
read that, not someone else.
03:16And then you're good
to go, the WHOOP is on.
03:18Hair, tattoos, skin color,
tightness, the weather,
03:21skin profusion can all impact
the heart rate accuracy.
03:24Turn on your notifications.
03:25Follow me on Instagram, Strava
and Twitter @ShervinShares.
03:28If you prefer the bicep strap like I do,
03:30you can just take it off and
see how fast I can do this.
03:33Am I a pro? Am I a pro the side?
03:37Here we go.
03:38Let's put a timer on screen.
How fast can I swap bands?
03:43I should be able to do
this relatively fast.
03:47All right, then we slide it on my bicep.
03:49Same thing, I make sure to tighten it up.
03:51Boom.
03:52Now it is on my bicep. I
have a nice beautiful tan.
03:55It's firm not too tight.
03:56I prefer it here just 'cause
I forget that it's there
03:58and then now I can forget about it.
04:00In terms of bands, there
are multiple bands.
04:02There are like bright color
bands that you can get.
04:03They're all kind of stretchy.
04:05You have your bicep bands,
which you can get dark.
04:07This is the kind of like dark gray one.
04:09You can even swap out the
metal piece if you want to.
04:12If you prefer like a black
04:13or white one, you can
unhook this top piece
04:16and use one from a different band.
04:18This is the black bicep band
04:20and I swapped it out for the white trim.
04:22I have an all white band.
04:23You can kind of see the dirtiness
04:25has settled in on this one.
04:26I stopped wearing this as much
04:27because it just gets dirty pretty fast.
04:29Same thing you can notice here.
04:30I'll take the white one off of my bicep
04:33and you can see how much
different the colors are in terms
04:37of as it gets dirty
04:38and you can't really
like change the coloring
04:40once it gains color.
04:41That's just how it is.
04:42So you gotta own the character
04:43or get a darker color.
04:44There's the red, white and blue one.
04:45I like to wear this one on 4th of July.
04:47This is the like kind of like bluish one.
04:49Pretty nice. I don't wear that as often.
04:51This is one of the luxury bands.
04:52It looks just more sleek.
04:54It's got a shinier hook as well as cover.
04:57And then it's like this navy blue,
04:58like that for special occasions.
05:00The buttery bros band, I like this one
05:02but it's gotten dirty as well
so I don't wear this as much.
05:05And this is the new hydro
band I think it's called.
05:07It's supposed to be better in terms
05:08of when it gets wet and things like that.
05:10I love the bright orange color
and see how this performs.
05:13But it's supposed to do better
when it's like you're getting
05:15really sweaty, really hot all the time.
05:17But for the most part these
do slowly dry if you shower
05:20with them and if you get wet with them.
05:22So keep that in mind.
05:23These are the two most common
ways to wear you WHOOP strap.
05:25But there are plenty more.
05:27Now I've tried to swim like
for example the hydro band.
05:30But if you're fast and if
like let's say you're doing
05:32butterfly, you push
off the wall, you dive.
05:34Or if you're surfing and
there's a lot of like waves,
05:37this can actually come off.
05:38I've had it where I like push off the wall
05:40and my WHOOP will just like
flip over or it just unhooks
05:43and falls off 'cause there's
so much water tension.
05:45The alternative, this is what
the hydro sleeve looks like.
05:47You'll actually, it's literally
just a piece of like kind
05:50of like plastic almost or silicone.
05:52This is the size that I got.
05:53And what you'll do is
you take your WHOOP off,
05:56you just get the hardware.
05:58And one thing to note
when it comes to charging,
05:59you can only charge it on
these bands, bicep or wrist.
06:03But when it comes to
using the hydro sleeve
06:06or the next things we'll
talk about like the clothes,
06:08you won't be able to charge it
06:09while it's inside your clothes.
06:10So you have to take it back off,
06:11put it on your wrist to
be able to charge it.
06:14So what you want to do is
actually put this underneath.
06:17I like to keep the WHOOP logo facing up
06:19and then slide this onto your
wrist with the WHOOP in there.
06:22It's a little bit harder, but
this is the process that I do.
06:26So if I'm gonna go swimming or surfing,
06:29this is probably the best thing to have.
06:31Make sure the WHOOP is
facing the right way.
06:34Put the hydro sleeve all the way on,
06:35make sure it's tight as well.
06:36If you need to pull it
up a little bit higher
06:37on your forearm, please do.
06:39Bam.
06:40So now this should protect
it a little bit more, right?
06:42If water's pushing you back
06:43and forth, it's less likely to fall off.
06:45So this is kinda what the
hydro sleeve looks like.
06:47You're going to have that
bump as well as these kind
06:50of rough edges on the front and back,
06:51but this is what it will be like.
06:53And there's multiple colors as well.
06:55And then I can just roll it off,
06:56make sure not to lose the sensor.
06:58This is what the, all the hardware,
06:59Bluetooth, everything is in there.
07:01Now you're like, okay, that's cool,
07:02but what about the clothes?
07:03That's very interesting, right?
07:05We have shorts, we have
underwear, swimsuits
07:07and bicep sleeves.
07:08So this is great.
07:09If you're doing any
kind of contact sports,
07:11it's gonna protect it around here.
07:13And what you wanna do
is actually invert this.
07:15I highly recommend you
put the WHOOP in first
07:18before you put the device on.
07:19That includes swimsuits,
shorts, underwear.
07:21Go ahead and slide it in.
07:23Make sure that the heart rate
monitor LEDs are facing out.
07:26Then there's a little Velcro,
you will tighten that.
07:29I'll invert it and then I like
to keep the logo facing up.
07:33And then now if I'm
playing soccer, jiu-jitsu,
07:36anything where I can't
have something protruding
07:39or it's gonna be dangerous
or it's gonna fall off,
07:41I don't want it on my wrist
or my bicep, you can put it
07:43inside the sleeve and
now you're good to go.
07:45It's pretty well protected, right?
07:47I can try to knock it off or move it
07:49and it's not gonna move a lot.
07:50Next you're like, what about swimming?
07:52I like the hydro sleeve
but it's not effective.
07:54Yeah, there's still cases where
07:55with this I've had it fall
off because I swim too fast.
07:58Sounds like a me problem.
07:59But they have these jammers
as well as female swimsuits.
08:01I wish they had like a, you
know, brief size swimsuit.
08:04And these jammers, the
legs are really long.
08:07They're okay.
08:08I'm not the biggest fan, but they work.
08:10And what you can do, once again,
08:12they have one of these pockets right here.
08:14You go ahead and slide in the WHOOP,
08:16make sure the LEDs are popping
out a little hole they have.
08:19You're going to have a
little bit of a bump, right?
08:21This is gonna protrude a little bit,
08:23but the logo is right
exactly where that is.
08:25And then you can go ahead and put this on.
08:27It's got strings for you
to tighten the waist.
08:29But this is what it looks like.
08:31The legs are relatively long.
08:32I think they're a bit
too long for my legs,
08:34but the waist fits me.
08:35This is a 34, overall
it's a decent swimsuit.
08:37It's not a performance suit
08:39so it's gonna hold water a little bit.
08:40That'd be good for training.
08:42But this is what the
tier WHOOP collaboration
08:44swimsuit looks like.
08:45I'd love to see some briefs.
08:46Next up, shirts.
08:47Maybe you don't like the arm sleeve
08:48but you still want to
wear it in your shirt.
08:50I have two shirts, I have this olive green
08:52that Katie Type A actually gifted me.
08:54Thank you Katie.
08:55It says WHOOP on the front.
08:56Same thing with the black,
08:58it's same design, just different colors.
09:00They feel very, what's the
word, performance wear based.
09:04They're not cloth or anything.
09:06They are probably not gonna
be moisture, sweat wicking,
09:10but they will be sweat resistant
I think, super stretchy.
09:13But they're both built the same.
09:15Where it's gonna be on the left side,
09:16it's gonna say WHOOP body.
09:17You'll see that same square right there.
09:20And what you wanna do is flip it over.
09:22Same thing, you'll slide the WHOOP in.
09:24Always do this before
you put the clothes on.
09:26Boom.
09:27And then you can go ahead
and put the shirt on.
09:28This is an extra large, I
think I'm six feet, 210 pounds
09:32and that's the size I wear.
09:33It's definitely very tight on the chest
09:36but this is what the shirt looks like.
09:38And yeah, I don't wear
this as often either
09:41'cause you do have to
put it in, take it out.
09:43I think it's an extra
step and I'm kind of lazy.
09:45But it can be valuable if you want
09:48to have the WHOOP in your clothes
09:49and not worry about it, right?
09:50If it can't show.
09:51You're like, well
09:51what if I can't wear a WHOOPshirt?
09:53We got a solution for you
and that is WHOOP underwear.
09:56Let's say you're doing a
soccer match, a modeling gig
10:00and you want to wear your WHOOP,
10:01but they're not allowing you
10:02to wear anything on the outside.
10:04Most likely they should
allow you to wear underwear
10:06unless it's a different kind of shoot.
10:08(laughing)
10:11But this is what the underwear looks like.
10:13I think this is kind of the everyday wear,
10:14very thick waistband.
10:17I think these are size medium
10:19and they're a little bit too
tight for me to be honest.
10:21Probably should've gotten size large.
10:23This is the more active style.
It's got the black waistband.
10:26I also don't wear these as much,
10:27if you don't wear the WHOOP
10:28like it gets a little itchy
10:29around this area on the waistband.
10:31So I don't like wearing this as much,
10:33but I think you can get used to it.
10:35Once again, you would slide it in, right?
10:37Make sure that's the first thing.
10:38And then know that like
if you're sitting down,
10:40this is gonna, it might think
you took a nap that happened
10:42to me once where I was like at the desk
10:43and I wore the underwear like all day
10:45and I was just working at my desk
10:46and I thought I took a nap
'cause I wasn't moving right?
10:48When you're sitting, you're not moving,
10:49you're moving your arms but
you're not moving your hips.
10:52So keep that in mind.
10:53This is what the WHOOP
underwear looks like.
10:55Maybe if you're working out
10:56and you wanna wear it around that area
10:57and you have other clothes
10:58that you're gonna wear on top
of it, this is a good option.
11:00Put your band somewhere where
you're not gonna lose it.
11:03And then when you're done, take it out,
11:05put your band back on.
11:06So you kinda have to carry your band
11:07with you while you're
wearing whatever device.
11:09Depending on where you're
gonna swap it back out.
11:11Underwear is not the only thing they have,
11:12but also workout shorts.
11:13Maybe you're like, I want the
full experience, I want liner,
11:17I want shorts and I want WHOOP logo.
11:19This is the blue one.
11:21I think they're pretty nice.
11:22They have two major
size pockets right here
11:25where you can put smaller devices
11:26like maybe your keys, things like that.
11:29And then they have a string so
you can tighten the waistband
11:32and it's relatively
stretchy waistband, right?
11:34It's pretty firm, pretty good.
11:35And they have a spot right here, right?
11:37You can slide in your WHOOP board auto,
11:39think you're kind of getting
redundant with all this.
11:40Boom, put the waistband,
put the shorts on.
11:43It's got liner so you don't
need to wear underwear.
11:45And then it's got the
shorts on the outside
11:47so you can work out with that.
11:48Take this off, put your
regular clothes back on.
11:51Toss this in the laundry.
11:53These are the black ones.
11:54Pretty cool. WHOOP logo.
11:55A little more discreet, not as bright.
11:57Also very interesting.
11:59But do I wear these?
12:00Not very often 'cause
they're kind of thick.
12:02If you try to roll this up into a ball,
12:03like I can't fit that in my hand.
12:05If you look at the size of
this, it's pretty large.
12:07My favorite shorts right now
are these like Lululemon,
12:10super tiny shorts.
12:11They're very thin. These
are kind of running shorts.
12:13They have liner built in.
12:15And if you just look at the
size difference, look at that.
12:18It's almost half the cloth as the WHOOP.
12:21This is the WHOOP, this is the Lululemon.
12:23Honestly I like this 'cause
it's so much lighter.
12:25If I'm running, working out,
12:27it feels like it's not there.
12:29Whereas this, it's kind of thicker.
12:30Maybe if you like more protection,
12:32you feel like you don't want
12:33to be naked, this is probably the option.
12:35If you want to feel like you're naked
12:36and just work out, this is the way to go.
12:38There's no WHOOP 4.0
tracker in here though.
12:40That'd be interesting,
Lululemon, WHOOP collab.
12:42Cool.
12:43We talked about all the ways
that you could wear your WHOOP,
12:45what about charging it?
12:46I see a lot of people and
they first get their WHOOP,
12:48they're like I need to charge it.
12:50They take it off their wrist
12:51and then they'll slide that in on here
12:53and they'll let it
charge off of their desk.
12:55They'll slide this on and
it'll be plugged into the wall
12:57and then be like, my WHOOP is charging.
12:59You do not need to do that.
13:00You can actually just
charge it on your wrist.
13:02So go ahead, leave your
WHOOP on your wrist,
13:05make sure the WHOOP logo is facing you.
13:07Grab your charger, doesn't
matter which direction.
13:09Slide it on and then double
tap to get the battery level
13:12of the charging puck.
13:13Light of the WHOOP.
13:14It's gonna be facing inwards.
13:15That's why you want the WHOOP logo to you.
13:17So I like to have two charging pucks
13:18because I'm infamous for losing these.
13:20They are $50 each.
13:22I try to keep one at my desk
and one that I travel with,
13:25but I'll make sure to charge this device.
13:26You can shower with these.
13:28Now the old model, it was circuit based
13:30but these are wireless charging bays
13:31before you plug it back in.
13:33They are USB C, which I really love.
13:35If you do jump in the water,
it's fine, just let it dry.
13:38Whereas before if you did shower
13:39with it on it would ruin the charger puck.
13:42Alright, next last hardware piece are
13:44fun accessories that you can buy.
13:45They have a sleep mask that you can buy.
13:47I haven't tried it yet.
Maybe WHOOP will send me one.
13:49But then they also have
blue light blockers.
13:51They sent me these. Really appreciate it.
13:53If you are a fan of blue light blockers
13:54or you want to journal and understand,
13:56does blue light blocking
help fix your sleep?
13:58We'll talk about that
when we get to the app.
14:00Great accessories that you can buy,
14:02they're just like most
other blue light blockers,
14:03just different style.
14:04They look cool. I love the style of these.
14:06If you don't like the style,
14:07you're not gonna wear it, don't buy it.
14:08But these I like, this is
14:10what they look like on my
face, but they're not too dark.
14:12They have the red tint and I love these.
14:15Should I just wear these
for the rest of the video?
14:16Now that is all the hardware stuff.
14:18So let's talk about the app.
14:19Pull out your iPhones, get it ready,
14:21grab the WHOOP app here,
go ahead and open it up.
14:24And there's a ton of things
that you can do in here,
14:26but we're gonna go through all
14:27the features that are available here.
14:28If you want to refresh
and get updated data,
14:30you can just swipe down just like you
14:31would on those social media apps.
14:32You're like, I need more,
more, more, more, more, more.
14:34Tap on the top right to
see your WHOOP device.
14:36This is where you can
actually name your device,
14:38you can see when it was last synced.
14:40And if you wanna broadcast the heart rate
14:42for example at up gym
14:44or if you want to capture
the heart rate in a different
14:46device or app, you can broadcast it.
14:48Let's turn that off for now. Advanced.
14:50You can do a firmware
check, reboot the device,
14:51erase the device if you have any issues,
14:53this is a great place where
you can do some troubleshooting
14:56and if you ever do have
some charging issues,
14:57sometimes I have found that if
I plug this into the charger
15:00it kinda like boots back up again.
15:02So that can help.
15:02Or I'll plug this into a USB C port on
15:05my computer and that can
also help boot this up again.
15:07But they've done some software updates
15:09so these should be working a lot better.
15:11Boom.
15:12On the top left is your profile.
15:13This is where you can kind of
say you can see your level,
15:15how many workouts you've
done, your most common style
15:17of workouts, your
overall sleep performance
15:19and like high level trends.
15:21I can see my all time data
points, which is really cool.
15:23I've been using this for almost
three and a half years now.
15:25Comment down below, what
level are you at right now?
15:27Now on the homepage is
15:28where you're gonna see your recovery score
15:30and your strain score.
15:31Strain is out of 21
15:33and your recovery is out
of a hundred percent.
15:35And then your heart rate
variability, which is HRV
15:37as well as your sleep score.
15:38Did you get enough time of sleep?
15:40If you wanna share any of that data,
15:41you can tap the share button,
you can send it to your team.
15:44My team is linked down below.
15:45If you wanna join our
team, Shervin Share's team
15:47right there, right?
15:49And I can go ahead and send
my recovery to my team.
15:52Let's see if they respond
to me. There's a whole chat.
15:54You can reply to each other,
inside you can see the info.
15:57We're at 365 members.
15:59Look at that team baby, we're growing.
16:01We have also a strain ranking page
16:03where you can see everyone's
strain from today,
16:05the past week as well as monthly.
16:07So you can see who's like ranking
16:08and working out the most,
who's recovering the best.
16:11So it's fun to have a little
bit of healthy competition.
16:14I love this part of the app.
16:15You can go ahead and share other charts
16:17that you want within the team app as well.
16:19Or go ahead and tap plus
16:20and I can share photos from my photo reel.
16:23If you want to join a team,
you tap the triple dots,
16:25I can say add team members.
16:27You can go ahead and copy
this team code right here.
16:29Or I'll try to have a link down below.
16:32So on the community tab is
16:33where you can also access these teams.
16:35You tap the triple dot,
16:36you will enter my invite code
and you can join my team.
16:38There's a whole bunch
of cool little articles,
16:40podcasts you can learn
up here from this tab.
16:42I've joined a ton of teams over here.
16:44And then let's go back to the homepage.
16:45The things I love about
here is the health monitor.
16:47If you wanna see the
most important metrics,
16:49this is kind of where I would look.
16:50Health monitor, I can see my blood oxygen,
16:52respiratory rate, resting heart rate, HRV
16:55and my skin temperature.
16:56The longer you wait on the screen,
16:57the more this graph will
update with your heart rate.
17:00And then I can even share
a PDF health report, right?
17:03If I wanna send this to someone
17:04or my doctor, that will load right here.
17:06Boom.
17:07And this is kind of what the PDF
17:07health report will look like.
17:09There are bounds, right?
17:10If you're within bounds, all
of these are gonna show green.
17:12If anything is out of
bounds, it's gonna be yellow
17:14and it's gonna be red if
it's way, way out of bounds,
17:16right below that you have sleep.
17:17Go ahead and tap sleep.
17:18You can see how you slept last night
17:20with all of the sleep stages
as well as some sleep metrics
17:23at the bottom like wake events,
17:24efficiency, respiratory rate.
17:26If you need to edit your sleep times,
17:28tap the triple dots, tap edit.
17:29If you're like, oh WHOOP
kind of got it wrong,
17:30I actually went to bed one hour earlier.
17:32You can update that here and tap save
17:34and then we'll update all
of your sleep metrics.
17:36It's gonna be more accurate
17:37with your sleep stages if you
can make sure that these sleep
17:40and wake times are accurate as well.
17:41If you need to start an activity,
17:43it's gonna get your GPS location
17:44if it's an outdoor activity.
17:46And you can even activate
the strain coach,
17:48which will tell you you how
much strain you need to put in
17:50that workout to get your
optimal strain, right?
17:52Here's a little graph
of where I need to be.
17:54I typically start and stop
my workouts on my Apple Watch
17:57and I have that automatically
import to the WHOOP.
17:59So I'm not using this feature as often,
18:01but if you don't have
another fitness tracker,
18:03this is a great way to track your run.
18:05Like pacing distance on your iPhone
18:07as well as getting your heart rate data
18:09and your strain data
imported in here, right?
18:11And there's a ton of options.
18:13These are all the options available.
18:14You can kind of go through it.
18:15They have a ton of categories.
18:18You can see the strain based ones,
18:20the recovery based activities
18:22and these sleep based activities.
18:24There's some really cool like
whoop guided sessions as well,
18:26which we'll talk about it too.
18:27And then here you'll
also get some updates.
18:30So if there's some kind of update,
18:31it'll show up here it
says new impact unlocked.
18:33I can tap that.
18:34It goes into my coaching tab with insights
18:36and it'll say, look, your
sickness is actually ruining
18:39your recovery by 12%.
18:40That is what we have noticed.
18:42So my broken foot has
ruined my sleep by 12%.
18:44I can see morning sunlight
improves my sleep.
18:46If I get enough hours of sleep it goes up.
18:48Prescription sleep medication
is a sleep supplement
18:50that I'm testing seems
to improve my sleep.
18:52CPAP machine that I use
18:54for my eight sleep using my phone in bed,
18:56alcohol, extremely bad.
18:58Alcohol's probably the
worst thing for my sleep.
19:00So I need to stop doing that.
19:01And then I can continue
to log other things like
19:03blue light blocking glasses.
19:05There's a variety of
updates that you can make.
19:06So how do you activate that?
19:08Go home, go tap the plus
sign, find my journal.
19:12And this is where you can
edit what you want to journal.
19:15And every time you open
the app in the morning,
19:16it's gonna pop this up
and tell you to say yes
19:19or no to all these prompts.
19:20It's pretty fast to do, tap the gear icon
19:22and you can see the endless list of things
19:24that you can test with, right?
19:25There's so much stuff on here.
19:27If you wanna understand
how does your phone usage
19:29in bed impact your sleep?
19:30How does not eating
near bedtime impact it?
19:33How does alcohol impact your sleep?
19:34Or maybe some supplements
that you're taking.
19:36This is the most powerful
feature on WHOOP,
19:38I highly recommend you use this.
19:40Pick three things, not too many.
19:42Start small, right?
19:43Activate them and then you can see,
19:45all right is my ADHD
medication is caffeine,
19:48late in the day is food late in the day.
19:50Added sugars right?
19:51There are certain things that
will also be pre-filled via
19:53Apple Health as you can see here,
19:54like fats, carbs, calories.
19:56If you're using an app like
chronometer, MyFitnessPal,
19:58which inputs your food that
you're eating into Apple Health,
20:03that will automatically
get pulled in the WHOOP.
20:04So you don't even have to think about it
20:06and it's gonna journal it for you, right?
20:08I think that is really insane.
20:09There's a whole bunch of
reproductive health, sleep,
20:11status, supplements.
20:14You can test it all and
understand your body
20:16even better, right?
20:17Behavior change is the
most important thing
20:19and I think WHOOP has done an amazing job
20:21of providing a feature that's
gonna allow you to understand
20:23what works and what
doesn't work for your body
20:25'cause everyone's different.
20:26All right, going down here,
20:27you're gonna see some
key stats like your HRV,
20:30your sleep performance,
which is based on like
20:31how much sleep you got,
20:32your total calories burned for the day.
20:34If you watch my calorie testing video,
20:36know that all trackers
are gonna be different.
20:38And then the stress monitor,
20:39this is a relatively new feature,
20:40but it's going to give you a
value between zero and three.
20:44So if you wanna understand
what level of stress you're in,
20:46I'm at a medium 1.3, which is nice.
20:48And I can see kind of the
averages throughout the day when
20:50I'm not moving, when I'm
sleeping, what it's like.
20:52And then there's two actions
20:54that you can take based on that.
20:55So if you want to increase relaxation,
20:57you go ahead and tap that.
20:58There is a breathing
rate that you can select,
21:01couple of options, the duration
21:02that you wanna do this breath work for,
21:04and then our Lord and
Savior, Dr. Andrew Huberman
21:07is gonna lead you
through that breath work,
21:08which is really neat.
21:09So you can tap start exercise.
21:11So it's gonna show you a visual of
21:12what you need to do for the breath work.
21:13All right?
21:14This is just about helping
21:15you relax a little bit.
21:16I love this experience.
21:17And then it's gonna
actually track that session
21:19and put it inside of your WHOOP.
21:21If you wanna increase
alertness, same type of thing,
21:23it's gonna be slightly different.
21:24You have your breathing reps, the number
21:25of rounds that you want to do.
21:27And once again.
21:28- There are a lot of
ways to feel more alert.
21:30You could of course have a cup
of coffee or go out for a run
21:32or get a good night's
sleep and wake up the next
21:34morning feeling rested.
21:35However many people wish
to increase their levels
21:38of alertness on demand and respiration
21:40or breathing is a very powerful and direct
21:43and fast way to do that.
21:44There's a particular pattern of breathing
21:46or respiration that's especially
effective at increasing
21:48your levels of autonomic arousal.
21:50AKA alertness and focus.
21:53And that's referred to as
cyclic hyperventilation.
21:56Cyclic hyperventilation.
21:57- Cool.
21:58So if you wanna start
cyclic hyperventilation,
22:00all the benefits are here
and it's gonna be led
22:02by Dr. Andrew Huberman, right?
22:05You can tap the gear icon to turn on
22:06and off the daily stress summary.
22:08I turn it off 'cause less
notifications, the better.
22:10I can see my daily stress
over the past couple days,
22:12what it's been like.
22:13It just helps me understand.
22:14I know when I'm working out
my stress is gonna be high.
22:16You can see right here when I'm sleeping
22:18or napping, it's lower and
if for any reason it's high,
22:20like in this part of the day,
22:21I'm like why did I get so high?
22:23Maybe I had a meeting or
something and I can understand.
22:25Maybe I should try to
avoid those types of calls.
22:27Then below that is your strain
and recovery correlation.
22:30So if you're not recovered well
22:31do you really wanna push yourself?
22:33In most scenarios, you
want to be mindful, right?
22:35This shouldn't dictate how you train,
22:37but it can give you an extra data point on
22:39how are you training and how is it
22:41impacting your overall load.
22:42So if I do have a lot
of red days in a row,
22:44I'm probably not gonna keep pushing myself
22:45to a high level of strain.
22:47That's kinda the homepage.
22:49Now sleep, let's talk about sleep.
22:50This is where you're going
to see how much you slept,
22:52your sleep stages and a
whole bunch of other data.
22:54Just swipe to the right.
22:56You can see like what impacts
your sleep performance
22:58and how you can improve your sleep,
22:59what the sleep stages are.
23:00And the sleep coach can help you define
23:02when you want to go to bed.
23:04There's a ton of really
fascinating features here.
23:06So you'll get overall general trends
23:08and statistics, how much
sleep you need versus
23:11how much sleep you actually
got, the time you spent in bed.
23:14And if it was restorative sleep, right?
23:16This is how sleep need is calculated.
23:19This is the total hours
of sleep that I had
23:22and if I wanna set an
alarm for tomorrow in terms
23:24of sleeping, I would
go to the coaching tab.
23:26Okay so ever since I recorded that video
23:28and haven't had time to publish it yet,
23:30but now there is a new WHOOP coach.
23:31They're using ChatGPT AI
with all of your WHOOP data
23:36to give you really cool information.
23:37You can kind of talk to your WHOOP coach
23:39and get an understanding based
on your recovery score, sleep
23:42and like fitness and everything.
23:44So I'm gonna show you how that works.
23:45The app has slightly changed.
23:46We're gonna try to update
these guides every year.
23:48Now it's once you're at the homepage,
23:50I know my recovery's not good,
haven't been sleeping well.
23:52They're gonna show you
kind of tips right here.
23:53It's gonna say, hey, low
recovery, even if you feel fine,
23:56it's possibly that you're showing
23:57signs of fatigue and stress.
23:58So slow down, we can swipe these all away.
24:01It's gonna gimme new things every day.
24:02If I wanna ask my WHOOP
coach questions like here,
24:05it's going to give me some
ideas of what I could ask.
24:07Like what are ways to achieve
optimal strain benefits
24:10of achieving optimal strain?
24:11How do I boost my recovery and
how does WHOOP measure sleep?
24:15So let's do, how does
sleep boost recovery?
24:17Now what's happening
here is the WHOOP coach,
24:19which is in beta.
24:20It's gonna use ChatGPT
artificial intelligence,
24:22super magic stuff.
24:23And it's gonna start to test
24:25and send me, it's gonna start
writing all these things about
24:27my sleep and recovery based on all
24:29of the data that WHOOP has.
24:31So the WHOOP data plus ChatGPT
is being merged into this
24:35conversational chat bot that I can kind
24:37of understand my sleep recovery, fitness
24:39and just the WHOOP app in general.
24:41How can I improve my sleep quality?
24:42Like that's a great question
because everyone's gonna get
24:45a different answer based on the things
24:48that you've logged into the app.
24:49So the journal feature is
hands down, my favorite thing.
24:51I highly recommend you use
that if you get the WHOOP,
24:52if you're not using it, there's
something wrong with you.
24:54But here it's gonna show me
consistent sleep schedule,
24:57morning sunlight, avoid
late night stimulants.
25:00So no caffeine after 2:00
PM is a rule I follow.
25:02Create a sleep friendly environment.
25:04Let's ask it like what helps my
25:07recovery the most?
25:09So these are very powerful kind
25:11of habits that you can instill.
25:13And now I want to get a little bit more
25:14of a custom-based question.
25:15So let's see if it's
gonna, let's see it use
25:17my actual journal responses
25:18to give me very specific
feedback based on me.
25:22Oh, there we go.
25:23Based on your data,
here are the activities.
25:26A hundred percent sleep
performance gives me
25:27plus 6% recovery.
25:28Morning sunlight is 5%,
consistent wake time is 5%.
25:33Prescription sleep medication,
which is like a sleep
25:35supplement, gives me 3%, meditation, 1%,
25:37consistent bedtime, 3%.
25:39So I know which ones I should
prioritize and do more of.
25:41Now how can I achieve
25:45optimal strain?
25:48So let's ask it a fitness question.
25:50So now it's gonna use past
data from exercises I've done
25:53and what my average heart rate might be
25:54and it's gonna gimme
exercises of what I can do
25:56to achieve optimal strain
25:57or just get a light workout
in for active recovery.
26:00When do I get the most deep sleep?
26:04It's a little slow but it's in beta.
26:07Oh, here we go. So I tend
to get most of my deep sleep
26:09during the early night,
early parts of my night,
26:11keep track of my data.
26:12How can I improve my deep sleep?
26:13That's a great question too.
26:14I love that it feeds me
questions to ask, right?
26:16And there are a lot of foundational habits
26:18that most people can follow, right?
26:19There are some things that
are extremely impactful,
26:22like limiting alcohol and
caffeine, consistent sleep time,
26:25creating a really good sleep environment.
26:26So this tool just makes it
26:27easier to understand these things.
26:29You can ask it questions
26:30and quickly get those questions
answered based on kind
26:32of general data as well as
specific data for, for you.
26:35Also, we're trying to beat
Alex Costa in the WHOOP team.
26:37So go ahead and join. We're
about 500 people away.
26:40Remember my WHOOP team code is
26:42down below as well as as
we'll put it right up here
26:44and if you join the team, make sure
26:46to chat, jump in there,
let's have a conversation.
26:48I wanna beat Alex Costa. So let's do this.
26:50We just need 500 more of you.
26:51Now this is the fitness side of it, right?
26:53When you're awake during the day,
26:54how much strain are you getting?
26:55This is based on your maximum heart rate
26:58and you'll be able to change
your maximum heart rate
26:59and more section if you've actually done
27:01a test to see where it is.
27:02But this is kind of how much strain
27:04and optimal strain your
body can take on today.
27:06You can go ahead and see
what your average strain
27:08has been the past couple days.
27:10Your average heart rate and
your overall calories burned.
27:12I take all this information
with a grain of salt.
27:14It's just a data point.
27:16Cool.
27:17Those are kind of our
tabs at the top right?
27:18This is the top row.
We just covered those.
27:20Next at the bottom we did a
little bit of coaching, right?
27:23If you want to go into
the coaching section,
27:24you're gonna have your strain coach,
27:26your strength trainer, your sleep coach,
27:28your health monitor, and
monthly performance assessments.
27:31Very detailed.
27:33You also have community which is
27:34Whoop teams, we talked about that.
27:35The more which is gonna
have even more settings
27:37and things that you can do.
27:39Strain coach, this is gonna tell you
27:40how much ideal strain you want
27:42to take on based on your recovery.
27:43The lower your recovery,
27:45the lower the strain
recommendation is gonna be.
27:47And strain right now is
calculated on two things.
27:49One is your heart rate, so if
you have a higher heart rate,
27:52you're gonna get a higher
strain, whether it's working out,
27:54not working out, whatever it is,
27:55WHOOP is tracking your heart rate 24/7.
27:57And then the second piece
is the strength trainer.
28:00So based on your strength
training workouts,
28:02it's gonna give you a
muscle strain as well.
28:03But that requires you to
actually activate that
28:05and input the workouts
28:06as you're doing them, at
least right now that is.
28:08So you can go ahead
28:09and start your generic
activities up here if you'd like.
28:12If you're doing a strength
training workout, you want
28:14to tap the strength trainer
28:15and you're gonna have your WHOOP workouts,
28:17which are already pre-made.
28:18Let's say I wanna be like Michael Phelps.
28:19We've got a 30 minute intermediate
workout, we've got a ton
28:22of other options from
other high level athletes
28:25as well as like generic
workouts that I want to do.
28:27So I'm gonna tap Michael Phelps, I can see
28:29what the exercises are.
28:30It's gonna explain to
me how long it takes,
28:32the total number of sets, I tap next.
28:34And if I want to, I can
go ahead and change it.
28:36You can manually create this as well.
28:38You know, if I wanna update this,
28:39I can go hit the plus sign.
28:40Maybe I'm a bro, I gotta
add in my bench press dude,
28:43barbell bench press.
28:44'Cause you know if you don't
do barbell bench every day,
28:46what are you doing?
28:47Selected exercises. We're
gonna add that one to the end.
28:50So now we have a super set
28:51of like lat pulls is gonna
tell me the number of reps.
28:54I can add in the weights
as well so I can see
28:56how well I'm doing over time.
28:57We gotta get in our reps of 15.
29:00This can take a while,
29:01'cause you have to go in and
update everything one by one.
29:03You can add a set if you need to.
29:05And if I need to combine this
with this super set above,
29:08I can, if I need it to be
separate, maybe I need it
29:10with the dips, I can move that in.
29:13Add to superset.
29:14Now it's a part of that superset.
29:16We've got all three things, right?
29:18Three rounds. Cool.
29:19Now I can save and then I'm ready to go.
29:21I can tap start workout.
29:23It's gonna tell me which wrist it's on.
29:24I usually wear it on my left.
29:25You're wearing out on your bicep.
29:26You'll have to swap it out to your wrist.
29:28At least that's how it works right now.
29:30You go ahead and tap continue.
29:31It's gonna give you a countdown
and then the warmup begins.
29:34You know, get you a little
light cardio, whatever it is.
29:36You can go ahead and
see all your exercises.
29:39Tap start first set.
29:40It's gonna start to measure.
29:41So we're doing wide grip front pole.
29:44Let's try to do this without the weight.
29:46One.
29:47Two.
29:49Three.
29:50Four.
29:52Five.
29:53Six
29:54Seven.
29:55Eight.
29:55Nine.
29:5610 and set.
29:58And now I'm resting. So it's
gonna have a rest count timer.
30:01Once I'm ready to go, let's
say I take usually, you know,
30:04probably one to three minutes of rest.
30:06When I'm ready to go.
30:07Next set, set two, active.
30:09One.
30:10Two.
30:10Three.
30:11Four.
30:12Five.
30:13Six.
30:14Seven.
30:15Eight. Nine, 10.
30:16And set.
30:17That's gonna go to the next thing, right?
30:18This is a super set. So I'm
switching back between the two.
30:21I can go ahead and see
which one I'm at right now.
30:23If I need to update the
weights, I can go ahead
30:24and tap 200 pounds 'cause
that's how much weight I do.
30:27And you can go put those
in as you're working out.
30:30Once we're done, let's just hop here.
30:32We're gonna open this bad boy up.
30:33We're just gonna jump to the bench press
30:35'cause we don't really want
do anything else today,
30:37we're at the live session bench press.
30:39We ended it.
30:40Start set,
30:43boom, end workout.
30:44Now I'm gonna say my
perceived exertion, my RPE for
30:46that entire workout saved
changes to my routine if I want
30:49to end workout based on my heart rate
30:53as well as the movement in
the accelerometer on my wrist.
30:56I kind of cheated.
30:57So we're not gonna get the
most perfect number here,
31:01but that is how the
strength trainer works.
31:03Next is a sleep coach,
31:03which you talked about setting
the alarm, health monitor,
31:06which we also talked about,
next, performance assessments.
31:08So when you do the journal,
you're going to get monthly
31:11as well as weekly performance assessments.
31:13And this is a great place
to get a deeper dive
31:15and understand how are
your lifestyle behaviors
31:17impacting your recovery.
31:19Everything else in life.
31:20So monthly, July, it's gonna gimme a PDF
31:22where I can view all my metrics and data.
31:25It goes super in depth.
31:26It's gonna gimme trends
31:27over the last couple of months as well.
31:28You can dive into each one
and kind of get a better idea.
31:31My favorite part is to
kind of come look at
31:33after you start tracking for a
long, long time, you can kind
31:35of get a better idea of where
your recovery, your strain,
31:37your sleep performance,
training behaviors.
31:40Like am I over training or under training?
31:42I like the physiological response section.
31:44Like how is my resting heart rate
31:45and my heart rate variability
changing over time.
31:48Clearly it's just like going
up and down a little bit.
31:50I haven't been consistent
with improving it.
31:51And then there's also the weekly
report, which will give me
31:55day strain, sleep
consistency, kind of like
31:59stats about this week in a
more mobile friendly format.
32:02I'll look at this.
32:03My favorite one for this one
is the sleep consistency.
32:05Like I might going to bed and
waking up at the same time
32:07'cause that can be really
critical to having good sleep.
32:10And then the insights which are now
32:12live updating every 90 days.
32:14So this is my new favorite part.
32:15You can see what's helping or
hurting your recovery scores.
32:18So this is super valuable to
see is my behavior helping
32:21or hurting me?
32:21When I see the data, it
just reinforces the fact
32:23that I should do this
more or do this less.
32:27All right, remember to customize
your journal behaviors.
32:29That is the number one feature to use.
32:31Next is the more tab.
32:32So here is where you can sign up.
32:33I have WHOOP Pro, so I get one
free item every three months.
32:37I can go ahead and see what's available.
32:39You can switch to annual
billing if you're paying month
32:41to month, make sure to save
your money and do annual.
32:43If you wanna extend your
membership, you can do that here
32:46as well as a whole bunch
of other accessories.
32:48Follow 'em on social, that's all here.
32:49If you wanna refer a
friend, you can do that.
32:51Yeah, if you wanna buy a WHOOP membership
32:52for a friend, you can gift that here.
32:54And then inside of my account, this is
32:56where I can see my WHOOP pro.
32:57The membership plan I'm on right now.
32:59My membership extension.
33:00What credit card do you have
on file that you're paying for.
33:03Your profile information.
33:04Make sure to keep your
height and weight accurate
33:06on the WHOOP.
33:07If you need to use Apple
Health, that's a great way
33:08to make sure that you're getting
33:09the most accurate data as well.
33:11WHOOP Labs if you want
to sign up for anything
33:13that's like research based,
33:14there is an actual
physical WHOOP Labs studio.
33:16Do you want to go hit 'em up?
33:17Be like Shervin said I
could do a test here.
33:19I want to go do a test. Maybe
I'll make a video about that.
33:21Device settings, if you
wanna change the name
33:23of your WHOOP,
33:24turn on the broadcast heart
rate stuff is also here.
33:26App settings.
33:27If you wanna change your notifications,
33:28I like to minimize the number of
33:29notifications, the activity settings.
33:31This is where you can
update your max heart rate.
33:33So if you know what your
exact max heart rate is,
33:35you can change that here
and that will modify
33:37how strain is calculated.
33:39Activity detection.
33:40This can automatically start to learn
33:42what activities you're
doing based on you know,
33:45your heart rate as well as the motion.
33:46So this is really cool.
33:47If you have it on, it'll start
33:49to learn over time it's not gonna be
33:50perfect, but it'll get better.
33:51The journal feature
settings are also here.
33:53If you wanna turn it off, you can.
33:55I think this is the most valuable thing.
33:56Keep it on, update it, customize it.
33:58And if you're a female you can use the
34:00menstrual cycle coaching as well.
34:02Integrations, I love using
the Strava integration.
34:04I actually have it so it only
sends my functional fitness,
34:07my weightlifting and my sauna
workouts I think, to Strava.
34:11Everything else I import via Apple Health
34:13from my Apple Watch.
34:14But here you can customize
what photo gets published,
34:18what activities get published.
34:19Really fun way to have
another social experience,
34:22training peaks if you want to send
34:24or receive your data to training peaks.
34:26If you're training for something,
I also use this as well.
34:28It sends all my sleep data from
my whoop to training peaks.
34:30And then my coach can actually see it
34:32and be like, hey, why aren't you sleeping?
34:33Apple Health.
34:34Highly recommend you turn this on.
34:36Make sure to set certain setting.
34:37So if I go to health, I can
tap the little icon on the top
34:41here, go to apps and
services and then find WHOOP.
34:44So scroll all the way down, WHOOP.
34:46And this is where you
can decide what you want
34:48WHOOP to be able to write to Apple Health
34:49and what you want it to read.
34:51So right now I don't
have it write my workouts
34:53'cause I just want it to read the workouts
34:55from the Apple Watch.
34:56So it's gonna send all
the other information,
34:58but it's gonna read a
whole bunch of other stuff.
35:01So it can use this for
the journal feature,
35:03it can use this to set the workouts.
35:04I think I have workouts here.
35:07So anytime I start
35:08and stop a workout on my Apple Watch,
35:10it's gonna automatically
sync to the WHOOP app.
35:12So that's what I love about
the Apple Health integration.
35:14So if you're wearing a separate
like Garmin, Apple Watch,
35:18send that data to Apple Health
35:19and then have WHOOP read
it from Apple Health,
35:22then you don't need to
start and stop your workouts
35:24inside the WHOOP app.
35:25Data export.
35:26I'm so happy they added this.
35:27But now you can export all of your data.
35:29It's not just theirs.
35:30Goals.
35:31If you want to change your
goals, you can do that here.
35:33I just wanna optimize performance.
35:34Pregnancy coaching.
35:36This is beta.
35:36Hopefully if I meet someone,
35:38we can test this feature out.
35:39And then hide metrics.
This is really cool.
35:41If you're about to race,
do some kind of big event
35:43and you don't wanna see your recovery
35:44and sleep, you can tap
hide recovery metrics
35:47and now when you go to the
homepage, you're not going
35:49to be showing that data, right?
35:50It's gonna be hidden and hopefully
35:52that's not gonna impact your mental psyche
35:54and it's not gonna change how you think.
35:56So that's really valuable if
you're like, well I still want
35:59to wear the WHOOP, but I
don't wanna see the data.
36:01I wanna make it a little bit harder.
36:02Go to more and change
and hide your metrics,
36:04services questions.
36:05If you have questions,
hit the chat box here.
36:07If something is not
working, that's the best way
36:09to get help from the WHOOP support.
36:11Not in the comments here, tutorials.
36:13If there's something that I didn't explain
36:14here, go watch it here.
36:15Or if I'm not doing the best job,
36:17all that information will be there.
36:18If you do plan to get
a WHOOP, use my link,
36:20my referral link, join.whoop.com/shervin,
36:23that's gonna help support this channel
36:24so I can continue making videos like this.
36:26You get one month free.
36:27So one thing that I really like is
36:29that WHOOP reads my height
and weight from Apple Health.
36:31So my height's obviously not gonna change,
36:32but I do have a smart scale
36:34that writes my weight to Apple Health.
36:36And then WHOOP will read that
36:37and update it so that way the calculations
36:38are always up to date.
36:39I highly recommend you get a smart scale.
36:41Weigh yourself from time to time just
36:43so you make sure you have the right weight
36:44on all of your wearables.
36:45I can even link a super
cheap one down below.
36:47They're like 10, 20 bucks
36:48and it just keeps you in check, right?
36:50If you start to trend in
terms of gaining weight,
36:51you're like, whoa, we
need to change something.
36:53Or if you're losing weight
and that wasn't your plan,
36:54you can change something.
36:56Let me know in the comments
below, find me on Instagram,
36:58Twitter, and Strava, @ShervinShares.
36:59So make sure to subscribe,
turn on your notifications.
37:01I'm gonna keep making really cool videos.
37:03If you wanna see another in-depth video
37:05of a another product, let me know
37:06and I'll try to make that for you, peace.
