“I sat around for weeks and told myself I was going to start going on daily walks outside/around my neighborhood. Every day I would have the same excuse – that I didn’t have enough time. Finally, I started downloading a bunch of different ‘workout from home’ apps hoping that would motivate me. I found that so many tricks you into paying for a subscription to even access half of the workouts or they aren’t very easy to navigate.
7minutes is by far the best workout app and so useful! It’s completely free, it targets what areas you want to work on, and lets you choose what fitness level experience you are.
Within the first few days, my legs and abs were burning because the workouts were so effective! The app is so descriptive in what to do and easy to use. Best of all, it’s only seven minutes.” – Liz

It motivates me to work out and gives me checking points on my personal workout – this is just what I needed to turn my workout goals into a habit.

Thank you so much for this list! With my gym closed it is so hard to find the motivation to workout from home, but now I have some new apps to try! Thank you 🙂
You’re SO welcome! Glad this list was helpful!
I loved and used ClassPass when we weren’t in a pandemic. It allowed me to have a variety of work outs and ‘try out’ new places. I actually had forgotten I had the membership as I had stopped going. Luckily I was only being charged their lowest membership cost at the time.
I have been using the Female Fitness App – its free -and I really like it -I feel like it is totally maneable – what I really like is that I can skip the rest time if I need to.. then I can complete the workouts faster… I am doing the beginner ab workout and the Full body 28 day challenge – just another app idea 🙂
Thanks so much for the helpful suggestion, Denise!
Love,love,love the Nike workouts. The ones I am doing right now are fast and fun! There is even an option for kids!
FitOn for the win! 🙌 I have been using this for 1.5 years now. I love the workouts and being able to find exactly what kind of workout I’m wanting based on time, intensity and target area. It’s fantastic!
Yes, me too!! I just started this. I stumbled on it on Instagram as an ad. I was going to share it if she didn’t mention it. I love how well organized it is. I get so overwhelmed by other workout apps that you have to pay for. I even downloaded this to my ROKU in order to workout using my TV.
I LOVE Sydney Cummings workouts.! There is a new one every day and they are free!
Wasn’t free?
Hey there! Are you having trouble grabbing one of the apps above?

Thanks for the tip Stanton Hottle!
