Momstrong Move 4+

*update- I’ve been using this app for 6 months now and still love it just as much as when I first wrote this review. I tell any fitness minded friends I have about it because it has made such a positive impact on my workout routines!

I love this app so much. As a previous college athlete I really appreciate having an opportunity to feel like I’m working out and lifting with a team when I do this app. The workouts are challenging and if needed you can always up the weights. I like the variety of the workouts and the fact you have three weeks to choose from so you always have multiple arms, legs, and total body workouts that you can do at your own convenience. As a working mom of three kids I can fit these workouts easily into my morning routine by waking up 30 minutes earlier. I’ve also been known to do them at night after everyone’s gone to bed from the comfort of my own home without needing to go to a gym. I noticed muscle definition within three weeks of starting this app. I’ve always kept up with cardio as an adult but feel like my body changed when I hit 34. I wanted to incorporate more weightlifting into my routine and this app makes it so easy because you really do you have a variety of exercises and you don’t feel stuck in a rut. I’m so glad that I found out about this app from my friend. If you’re on the fence give it a try you won’t regret it!

For almost 4 years I’ve been working out in my basement streaming on-demand programs. I decided to cancel that (nervously) and give Momstrong a try after following her on Instagram for a couple years. I’m now a month + into my (@ home only plan) subscription & I’m really loving it! I love how down to earth Meg is as a trainer. She loves and appreciates her body and encourages us to do the same... to be grateful for our bodies, not take working out for granted, fuel it properly, and be positive about where we are in our individual journeys. It’s nice to feel like a trainer isn’t in the industry just for a killer body to show off (although she definitely has that)! The app is simple to use. The workouts are great, lots of variety in different moves each week so you don’t get bored and I love that there are always new workouts dropping in to the app! The length of each workout is perfect for anyone with a busy lifestyle (30-40 minutes) & I love that not a lot of equipment is required! I think this fact makes it less intimidating for someone just starting out with workouts, but is great even for someone further along in their fitness journey to continue on and challenge themselves! It’s easy to add more weight to make it more challenging if needed. I’m excited to keep using the app as it’s so convenient to do from the comfort of my own home!

I have been using MomStrong Move at-home workouts consistently for almost a year now, and this is the most consistent I’ve ever been with a single workout plan, and I have no plans to stop. I am a person who has always made exercise a priority (and have tried just about everything out there). I love that this app eliminates the planning step for me, and all I have to do is press play and I get a killer workout.
Meg gives little motivational boosts throughout her workouts, and I appreciate her focus on health for the whole self, not just physically. She’s not a results-driven trainer (although I have had some great results since doing her workouts), she just focuses on doing a little better each day, week, etc. And she does all this without being annoying. :) The workouts are not stress-inducing, yet I always get a good sweat and my muscles burn like crazy. There is not a whole lot of cardio in the at-home workouts, so I make sure to incorporate a good jog into my week. Otherwise, all I do is her videos and it’s gotten me feeling stronger than I’ve ever been. I like that I can do the workouts with minimal equipment (5 and 10 lb dumbbells, heavy resistance band) in my living room.
I’m grateful this app exists- it’s the perfect workout plan for my current phase of life.
