Mila by Camilla Lorentzen 4+

I simply love this wellness app. As someone who has tried so many times to get into improving my wellbeing through fitness this app is truly different. My favourite thing about it is that it adjusts your activities based on your reported energy level. Often you get a plan in place but some days that is just not attainable. I like that it allows you to maintain the habit as well as gain the benefits while also listening to your body and what it needs day to day. The learning sessions are also great because it helps shift your perspective on fitness and goal setting. I wouldn’t explain this as fitness app to friends but instead a wellness app. It is not just focused on getting you in the gym but instead looks at the situation holistically and supports your well-being not just fitness goals. I definitely think wellness is more desirable than fitness :)

I was really excited for the app as I follow Julie and Camilla online and Camilla has actually helped my body image and now I view myself tremendously so I was very excited to see her app only to be disappointed when I discovered that you have to pay to even try it. Unlike most workout apps that have a free version that understandably has locked features behind a pay wall, this app doesn’t even have a free version, it’s just pay as soon as you make an account without even trying to app out. For people who don’t have the extra money for apps like this or the gym, free apps are the only thing that could work and most workout apps are just trying to show you how to get “skinnier”.

I love that this app focuses on creating good habits and improving yourself for you! Opening the Mila app never feels like a chore; instead, I feel energized and proud of the work I am putting in for myself.
