Plus +1: Pregnancy Workouts 12+

Enjoyable but too much for me

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

Loving postpartum!

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!

Love the program, app needs improvement

I love this program. I used it before the app was available during my pregnancy.
However, I find the app to be very frustrating. I’m using the postpartum program and it won’t let me move on from stage 2 week 1. Even though I’ve completed the week.
I wish the app was more user friendly and provided the ability to do the program at your own pace. The weekly notes say things like “if this stage feels like too much, repeat weeks within stage 2 as needed” but it won’t allow me to pick my own week.
In order to choose your stage you have to make up a new due date and go through the list of pregnancy phase questions repeatedly until it puts you in the stage you want. Even so, you have to start at week 1 of that stage.
Please allow the ability to set your own pace and pick your own stage/week as needed.
