What's up folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of Woop.

And appropriately, I am walking right now on a treadmill because this is the Steps podcast.

That's right. Ignore everything I've said before about Steps. We are coming out with Steps.

It's now in the Woop app. And I'm going to be joined

by Emily Capulupo, our senior vice president of research algorithms and data. We're going to get

into why we released steps. Why are we doing this? Why now? We play some of the maybe critiques I've had in the

past of steps and my criticisms of it is a metric.

And then we also talk about why we're excited to be rolling it out, how you can use it in the WOOP app.

And a lot of the research that, by the way, justifies having Steps be a metric that's on whoop.

You know, in closing, my biggest summary is that Steps is now on Woop, and this is the Steps podcast.

Okay, Emily, welcome back to the podcast.

Thanks for having me.

So we are right now walking on a little modular treadmills, which by the way, I've never done this before.

It actually feels pretty good. I'm kind of loving it. Yeah. And it's kind of funny. I'm trying not to

smile as we do this. We've just announced steps. Whoop now measure steps. It's in the app.

I think if anyone's paid any attention to things I've said about steps on a podcast, they might find that surprising.

But I imagine you're excited about this.

I'm extremely excited about this.

This is one of our most asked for features, really across all the different demographics and user personas on loop.

And so we're really proud to bring people what they've

been asking for. How many steps does WOOP say that you have right now? Let's check. So Woop is

showing that so far today, I have walked 4,059 steps.
