How to record a workout in Whoop

If you take your Whoop 4.0 strap out for a run, the autoworkout detection kicks in and does a pretty good job of logging the session. 

However, sessions such as yoga, weight training, or other less standard workouts can be missed entirely.

You can take the time to start a session in the app itself, but we prefer just to tag some workouts later.

Here’s how to do it:

2. Select "Add Activity" and choose the activity type from the list.

3. Set the start and end times of your workout and tap "Save."
