Fitness Data Overload?
from Movement Podcast Hosted by Gray Cook and Dr. Lee Burton
From wearable devices to the scale in your bathroom, there are a ton of tech choices in the fitness world these days. But as we continue to track ourselves more, is there such a thing as too much data? We explore that idea on today’s episode. Gray and Lee discuss how devices can motivate us and can also overwhelm and potentially shame us, which metrics to focus on, the importance of how we consume our data, and what our devices don’t tell us.
