Meet your Favorite New Metrics in Stridekick. Sleep and Calories Have Entered the Chat 😴🔥

We’ve always believed steps are just the beginning of your health journey. Holistic, lasting wellness is bigger than step count. It’s whether you slept 5 hours or 9 hours last night. It’s the calories you burned on your morning dog walk that nobody saw. Sleep and calories are the building blocks of how you feel, how you perform, and how healthy you actually are day to day.

So that’s why, we're so excited to announce that Stridekick now displays sleep and calorie data right from your connected device.

Why are sleep and calories important to monitor?

Sleep and calorie data alongside your other activity metrics gives you a much more holistic picture of your health.

Sleep 😴

Recovery is what actually moves the needle on your health goals. And the most powerful recovery tool you have? Sleep. No gym required and available to you (for free!) every night. Poor sleep is linked to lower energy, increased stress, and reduced focus. Most adults need 7–9 hours a night, but most adults don’t get close. Seeing your sleep data is the first step toward actually doing something about it.

Active Calories 🔥

Steps tell you how much you moved, but active calories tell you how much your body worked. Together, they give you a more complete picture of your day. A 20-minute uphill hike and a 20-minute stroll aren't the same thing, even if the step count says otherwise. Active calorie data puts a real number on your effort, so you can make smarter decisions about how you move, eat, and recover.

For companies: this is a big deal 🏢

If you run wellness challenges for your team, you already know that engagement spikes when people can earn rewards on metrics that actually reflect their lifestyle.

Not everyone lifts. Not everyone hits 10,000 steps everyday. But everyone needs good sleep and everyone burns calories doing activities they love.

Displaying sleep and calories within Stridekick means your employees get a more complete, more personal view of their wellness. All inside the platform they're already using. No separate app. No new login. 

And speaking of challenges 👀… we're working on something that'll let your team compete on these new metrics. Sleep challenges. Calorie challenges. Win challenges in your sleep… literally. Stay tuned.
