Plus +1: Pregnancy Workouts 12+

I really enjoy weightlifting and though this app was fun for the duration I could do it. I’ll start off by saying that I was NOT regularly lifting weights before I got pregnant. I had in the past but before pregnancy it was more of a here or there type of exercise I did. The rep ranges and weight in this app were too much for me and I did end up experiencing some vaginal bleeding after doing deadlifts. Like it’s typically recommended, if you’re already doing these types of exercises before pregnancy you can prob still do them. If you’re like me and didn’t really do them on a weekly basis, only every now and then, then it may be too much. However, they do have body weight options for the entire workouts which I could totally do and because of the versatility of movement, education and app layout I give this a five star. Totally worth trying and relatively affordable too

I bought the pdf version when I was pregnant and used a little bit was hard to read/ follow while also trying to reference the technique for the moves. The app came out at the end of my pregnancy and I have been using it for postpartum to get back into shape. It’s been great! I haven’t used the stronger by the day app so I don’t know how they compare but this is really basic, kinda like the peg in app for. Doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as other apps I use but the meat is there which is tell me what to do, show me how to do it, and I can check off reps and see how many reps I did last time! It’s feels like it’s meeting me exactly where I’m at, so I want to keep working out!

Thank you for your review and feedback! We are happy to hear we are having a positive influence in your postpartum journey!

I followed the app program for about eight weeks. Some things I liked:
- good warm ups, about ten minutes with an emphasis on the connection breath
- good content on the resources page
- I liked the two lower body days and two upper body day focus
- the workout content was there in terms of how to do the exercise and the description of it and the exercises were conducive to things needed in pregnancy.
- modifications for body weight and for a growing belly

Some things that could be improved:
- I felt like the week to week changes were random. There was no explanation on how things would change for one week or the next, such as a mesocycle format with a rest week.
- Some things were glitchy in the app.
- couldn’t move days around. It would have been switch to switch Day 3 and make that my Day 2, etc.
- wish you could switch just one day to body weight rather than the whole week for days when you don’t have access to a gym.

Overall, I’m at a point where I have some other issues, and I need to tailor my workouts differently to fit some of my existing injuries. I still prefer three full body workouts 3 days a week instead. I might consider renewing my membership again as there’s definitely some value there, but for now it’s not a good fit for me.
