When did our watches start deciding whether we had a good day? Between sleep scores, step counts, calories burned, recovery scores, and training readiness, we’re tracking more about our bodies than ever before. But at what point does all that information stop helping us and start stressing us out? This week on Get the Girlies Moving, Kaitlyn and Abby are asking: Are we tracking ourselves to death? We’re breaking down what fitness trackers can actually tell us, where their accuracy falls short, and why the numbers on your wrist shouldn’t get the final say in how you feel. IN TODAY’S EPISODE: How accurate are Garmin, Oura, WHOOP, and Apple Watch? Why calorie-burn estimates aren’t as reliable as you think What sleep scores, HRV, VO2 max, and recovery metrics actually mean How fitness tracking can affect your mood, motivation, and relationship with exercise What orthosomnia is and why researchers are talking about it The difference between tracking progress and obsessing over numbers How to use long-term trends without letting daily scores control your life Plus, Abby shares why she stopped checking her morning scores, Kaitlyn admits to late-night walks just to hit her step goal, and Mable (aka Meatball) joins us as the only girlie who truly knows how to live without a fitness tracker. The takeaway? Your fitness tracker is a tool, not your boss. Tell us in the comments: What’s one fitness metric you check WAY too often? Love you girlies! Grab your pink and get moving!
