It can be annoying if your WHOOP errors out and doesn’t save a workout you just completed, or maybe you simply just forgot to wear your strap.

This has happened to me numerous times, but don’t worry, there is an easy way to log activities manually.

Knowing how to add a workout to your WHOOP can help avoid missing a workout streak, and to make sure you get those calories logged.

In this guide, we’ll share the exact steps to add those missed activities to your WHOOP strap. We even cover how to edit and delete activities.

How to Add Activity to Whoop

Follow these steps to manually add an activity to your WHOOP strap:

  1. Open the Whoop app on your smartphone.
  2. Tap the ‘+‘ sign on the bottom right of the screen.
  3. Select “Add Activity“.
  4. From the list, select the activity you wish to add.
  5. Input the time started and finished.
  6. Optionally, you can add the location where you wore your strap (wrist, bicep, etc).
  7. Tap “Save“.

How to Edit Activity on WHOOP

If your WHOOP inaccurately tracked your workout, or you manually added an activity and made a mistake, you may want to make some changes. Here’s how to edit an activity on your WHOOP strap:

Note: You are limited on what you can edit in an activity. WHOOP only allows you to edit the start and finish time, not stress levels, HR, or anything else.
