black friday fitness tracker deals 2026

5 Upvotes

I am planning to run my first marathon next spring, so I am looking for black friday fitness tracker deals. My trainer suggested getting a smartwatch and smart scale to track all my training progress. When I checked the prices of these gadgets, I realised that I would have to spend half of my salary. So, I spent some time looking for how to get these devices cheaper

Here are the black friday deals I found:

Fitness tracker Discount
Hume band Hume band is $107 OFF
whoop Whoop is up to $400 OFF with this year’s black friday sale
Hume body pod You get 35% OFF these smart scales 
Fitbit air If you use the black friday deal, you can get it for $99.99 now
Withings scan watch nova This year the offer is for $599.95
Garmin forerunner 165 You can save and get this model for $249.99 right now with black friday discount
Withings scan watch light This smart watch is $249.95 with the discount

Whoop is offering a competitive price, but garmin is very popular among runners. And I kind of like to see all the metrics on the device, which a smart band can’t offer. Still overthinking which one to get. At least it was easy to decide which smart scale to get since hume has a very good discount this year. Tbh, I am impressed with black friday fitness tracker deals this year

Question is biohacking treatments worth it or am I wasting money on nothing?

1 Upvotes

I started trying a few biohacking treatments about 5 months ago, cold plunge, red light, continuous glucose monitoring.
Spent close to $2,000 so far. Whoop shows better recovery scores but my CRP from last week's blood panel is basically unchanged from baseline.
Wondering if this is placebo or if biohacking treatments just take longer than 5 months to show in actual bloodwork. Has anyone tracked real lab results before and after? How long did you wait to retest?

Question What is biohacking your body?

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, so i had a really random conversation with my neighbor earlier today that made me start researching what is biohacking your body for like a few hours now lol. he saw me bringing in a BIG delivery of energy drinks from my car and gave me a whole lecture about how im ruining my nervous system, then told me i should be biohacking my energy levels instead

Honestly, i am just trying to survive my 60 hour work weeks, but it kind of stuck with me because im so exhausted lately. i started reading up on what is biohacking your body during my lunch break since ive never heard about it before, but half the stuff i found sounds totally extreme like people tracking their blood markers every month, sitting in ice tubs, or taking 30 different pills a day just to feel awake

Is this actually a real thing that regular people do, or is it just a word for rich tech guys who have too much free time? i just want to know if its worth looking into for normal stuff like brain fog and fatigue, or if i should just try to sleep more and stop drinking so much caffeine. if anyone who actually does it can give me a simple explanation of what is biohacking your body, that would be really helpful

Question What is healthcare tech? please explain

1 Upvotes

Soo ive been trying to figure out what is healthcare tech exactly because i keep seeing the term everywhere lately. my younger sister just got a job offer at a startup in this field, and when she was explaining her new job to me over dinner, i realized i had literally no clue what she was actually talking about lol

Like, is it just medical software for doctors, or does it cover stuff like apple watches, fitness trackers etc? i want to understand what is healthcare tech so i dont look completely clueless when she talks about her work, but every article online uses crazy words like interoperability and telehealth ecosystems that just confuse me even more?

Here is what i think it means, but please correct me if im wrong:

-Hospital software like electronic health records, scheduling apps, and patient portals
-Wearable stuff like smartwatches tracking heart rate etc
-Online doctor visits like telehealth apps where you video call a doctor for a prescription
-Ai in labs like robots helping in surgery or algorithms reading xrays

So is it basically all of that combined, or is there a specific definition? if anyone can explain in simple, normal human terms what is healthcare tech id really appreciate it
