Fitness Femme: Weight Watchers 4+

I love the layout and approach of this app. I’m just starting with the beginner level since I’m out of shape and coming back postpartum. There are multiple workout options to choose from (prenatal, postpartum, senior, beginner, yoga, etc.) looks like you can select a different type of workout any time or select a “program” for it to plan a daily workout for you. At the beginner level it gives me 4 mini workouts each day to choose from and includes a little motivational quote. They are typically between 8-20 min each. (You can do as little or as much as you’d like). Pairs the workout with music or gives options to link to other music apps or silence it so you can play your own. Shows a little animation of each exercise so I can see what I’m supposed to be doing if it’s one I’m less familiar with. Gives countdown warnings before rest interval and switching to the next exercise. In the settings you can adjust the audio on/off to customize. Been just what I need to get going to push myself to start and so far the workouts have been great for toning but haven’t felt too hard to make me feel overwhelmed in starting (beginner level). And since they’re broken down to small pieces I feel much more encouraged to start as a busy working mom because I can sneak in 8 minutes of quick workout time even with the baby crawling around. So affordable also! I got a “discount” price of $30 for the year subscription. Totally worth it. Highly recommend.

Before the shelter-in-pace, I was going to gentle exercise classes for seniors at the Y. Most of the exercise apps I looked at seemed geared towards people without any of my limitations, or offered very few routines geared only towards seniors. This one is a revelation. I LOVE the wake up stretches workout: who knew you could exercise ON YOUR BED? That allows me to do much more than I could do at the Y, and I can feel how good each stretch is for keeping my muscles in shape. The app has a wide range of workouts (all FREE, with very brief ads) to work on different muscle groups, both stretches and cardio. Clean and useful layout, easy to search. Each workout shows a list of exercises, with clean sketches and links to short videos. When you start, a voice guides you through the timing for each exercise, counting down to start and stop and announcing when you’re halfway through. You can customize the sound to turn off any of these voice features and/or background music. I love that I can choose workouts for my current ability, and see the details of what else I may be able to do as I get stronger. I love that I can follow a good pace, without watching a video that might get boring. I love that the illustrations use simple female figures, so that I don’t focus on body type. I would encourage anyone to give this a chance. If you want an exercise app that doesn’t focus on women, look at the other apps from the same developer.

I really love this work out app!! I had not used it in a long time, when I opened it again they had completely updated and redid the app. And I love the new updates. There is a little bit of everything. If you are new to working out, or have been working out for years no problem there are TONS of beginner workouts and they cover everything from yoga to full body workouts, and they start you out slow and work you up to faster and harder exercises. They cover each part of the body and then some. There are so many I can’t even get a routine or order to start. They make it so easy to find what you are looking for with sub categories. If you are not sure how to do something there is a video that will show how to do that exercise or what ever it is you are doing. There is also a category for programs that you do some many days a week for how ever many weeks. And it again it has a beginners problem as well. We can pay a monthly or yearly subscription to open up everything. There is so much that you can do without a subscription. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone looking for a at home workout app. This is my number one app that I always go too. I have deleted all the others everything I need or would want is right here in this one app. Awesome job to the creators!! Don’t take my word for it try it yourself you will love it.
