The Battery Pack should slide along the slots on the sides of the device, just under the clasp, and will lock into place so that the Battery Pack engages with the Side Contacts of the WHOOP Strap.The Battery Pack should be left on the WHOOP Strap for 90 minutes for a full charge.  Once fully charged, the WHOOP Strap will last approximately 30-36 hours* before needing to be charged again.  * This is assuming a 100% charged battery and includes one 60 minute Activity and an 8 hour Sleep Activity.THE WHOOP STRAP

The Battery Pack contains LEDs that will indicate when it is fully charged.  The LED will change from Red to Green when fully charged.  When attached to the WHOOP Strap, the Battery Pack will indicate the battery level of the WHOOP Strap when dou-ble-tapped.THE WHOOP STRAP
8WHOOP // USER MANUALART001ART002ART003ART007ART008ART009ART010ART011ART012Positioning the WHOOP StrapThe WHOOP Strap should be placed on the wrist, about 1 cm above the bone of your wrist. The WHOOP Strap should be snug, but not too tight - just tight enough to ensure the sensors make solid contact with your skin. As a good rule of thumb, if you can slide your pinky finger under the strap, it is likely too loose.THE WHOOP STRAP
9WHOOP // USER MANUALART001ART002ART003ART007ART008ART009ART010ART011ART012Adjusting the WHOOP StrapYou can adjust the band of the  WHOOP Strap by pulling the excess band through the bar at the end of the housing.Note that the band should be threaded over and down through the inner slot, then back up through the outer slot.  This allows the housing to sit closer to the surface of your skin and ensures the sensors make solid contact.You should trim the excess band for a more comfortable fit. Be sure to use sharp scissors and leave at least an inch of excess band.You can also wash the band with soap and water.THE WHOOP STRAP

25WHOOP // USER MANUALART001ART002ART003ART007ART008ART009ART010ART011ART012Day StrainDay Strain is a measure of the Strain you have accumulated over the course of an entire day. While individual work-outs receive Strain Scores to indicate your level of cardiovascular eort for that discrete period of time, Day Strain provides you with a full picture of the Strain you are putting on your body each day.Day Strain is very useful in determining what non-exercise activities are con-tributing the most to your accumulated Strain. This statistic can help you better plan your days leading up to a com-petition, or can help identify activities during your day that may be contribut-ing to elevated Strain. In addition, Day Strain gives you credit for activities you may not consider to be “workouts,” such as your daily commute.Day Strain ScoreDay StatisticsTHE WHOOP MOBILE APP
