Fit Tech: Friend or Foe?

from Training Age · host Heather Adams and Valerie Lusvardi

In this episode, Heather @heatheradams.fitness and Val @valerielusvardi explore the role of FitTech in our health journeys—where it helps, where it hinders, and how to find a sustainable middle ground. They break down how tools like the Oura Ring and tracking apps can support awareness around patterns like weight fluctuations, menstrual cycles, and sleep, offering helpful insights for long-term well-being.But with that data comes a caution: technology should enhance, not override, our ability to listen to our own bodies. Heather and Val emphasize the importance of balancing external feedback with internal cues, and they offer practical ideas for self-tracking that prioritize movement, recovery, and intuition over rigid metrics. Whether you’re deep into fitness tech or simply curious, this conversation is a thoughtful guide to using it without losing touch with yourself.
