Not to start this post on a downbeat note, but as I approach the half-century mark of my journey on this beautiful planet, my motivation to exercise is driven less by a desire to “look good” or “feel good” than by a desire to simply survive. A little jogging here, a little weightlifting there, maybe some impromptu stretches while talking to my wife in the kitchen. You adapt where you can.
Or at least that’s been my goofy approach to fitness, which makes me think it might be time to get more serious on that front, perhaps by way of a performance trainer – and if I can strap that trainer to my wrist, so much the better.
With Father’s Day on the horizon (hint, honey), I have my eye on one of the leaders in the wearable fitness tracking and health optimization space: Wow. You’ve probably seen the device on your wrists Rory McIlroyJustin Thomas or Nelly Kordawho use it to monitor such vitals as heart and breathing rates, along with how their bodies recover from physical and mental strain, or how well they’re sleeping. (To wit: In the wake of McIlroy’s 2026 Masters win, Whoop shared some of his performance data(which showed that after he dropped his tee shot into the tree on the 72nd hole, his heart rate jumped to 135 beats per minute but then dropped to 121 BPM on the recovery shot, a sign, Woop said, of “rapid composure.”)
