Moms Into Fitness 4+

I’m 43 and after jumping from workout program to workout program working out 6 days a week almost an hour a day, seeing little to no progress, sleeping horribly, and having awful low back pain I found my way back to Moms Into Fitness. I had worked out with this app several years ago and loved it, but felt like I was not seeing results like I thought I wanted and started the ongoing program jump for the past 3 years until I made my way back after seeing an article Lindsay wrote about her body being stressed and having to change her workouts in her 40s…for the past month and a half I’ve been doing the 3 or 4 day workout program following the 35 min workouts and getting my daily walk and I feel amazing. I’m SLEEPING so much better, at least 7 hours a night and not waking up at 2 or 3 in the morning and laying there for hours. I don’t feel worn down and exhausted and my weight is staying consistent despite not feeling like I’m killing myself. I do feel like my clothes fit better despite my weight not changing and my husband says he has noticed my bum looks perkier so there’s a win :) If you’re struggling with the challenges of the 40s I recommend giving this a try, for me it has impacted all aspects of my health. I would really encourage you to look into nutrition as well, really focus on making sure each meal has protein, fiber, carbs, and fats (healthy fats help support our hormone health). Good luck ladies, forties are no joke!!

I started using Moms into Fitness 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. I was an athlete in college and an avid runner, swimmer, and cycler pre-motherhood. I would easily spend 2+ hours a day working out and I loved it. But then, I had children, I was working, my life was a fast moving train that never seemed to slow down and I couldn’t figure out how to work out. Enter MIF.
I was feeling pretty down after baby #2. I felt like I had no time and there was no way I was ever going to lose any of the weight. A friend recommended MIF and I lost 30lbs in 12 weeks with (what was then called) Postnatal Slimdown. But even more than that, I learned I could get a killer workout in 30 minutes or less. Even better than that? I learned proper form for the exercises and learned how to work out in a way that would reduce risk for injury and maximize benefits. Five years later and another baby later and MIF is still go-to workout source.

Honestly, I feel like I have my own personal trainer when I work out with MIF. If you want to get a great workout into your day in under an hour, from the comfort of your own home, with someone who will actually teach you how to properly perform the exercise and why you do it- MIF is for you and this app makes it easy and convenient to access from anywhere.

There are plenty of workout program options based on your ability level and the amount of time you have to workout. If you are someone who likes to have a plan, Lindsay has calendars you can use, but if you want videos based off the amount of time you have or the type of workout you want, her videos are well organized. I am on my third program and really enjoying Lindsay’s workouts. She is constantly correcting form and encouraging you throughout the video. There are modifications as well to help with certain conditions or to take it up a notch. I have needed minimal equipment - a chair, towel, several sets of weights, a yoga mat, and a pilates ball. Instead of the pilates ball, I have used one of my children’s kickballs and even substituted some canned goods for light weights. I am feeling better and more in shape than I have in years. My children also enjoy watching the videos and attempt to workout along with me. The workouts are all “G” rated in my opinion and all about you physically becoming a better version of yourself. I highly recommend!
