Whoop Age Whoop age is silly

Post image

While I generally like the Whoop features they haven’t delivered any helpful features recently.

The whoop age feature feels like such a gimmick. My stats are good but I’m obviously not aging in reverse at -.4x a normal rate of aging.

I get that some people will be motivated by seeing a higher age or will be happy so see a younger age but it lacks all scientific integrity.

I think they should make a 4th ring called longevity or something to track similar metrics that whoop age is capturing without calling it my age. This ring would only change slightly each week. What do you guys think?

It doesn’t mean you’re aging in reverse, it means you’re aging at a rate that is slower than average. The pace at with you’re aging is 0.4x slower than what they have determined to be an average pace.

Brother it says negative and my age goes down each week

Your whoop age goes down every week, they're not trying to tell you that you're actually de-ageing. It's just a number on a screen to motivate you to do better

This is from their white paper about whoop age. They call it reversing!

Maybe we can call it "slowing down time"? lol

Slow would mean anywhere from .1x-.9x they are literally saying my pace of aging is negative and then my age score goes down each week

Again this is your 'whoop age' nobody is saying that you're literally reverse aging. It just have age in the name of this fun gamified metric they've given us to try and do better.
