fit52 with Carrie Underwood

Fit52 is everything I was looking for in a workout. I’ve been a “gym junkie,” you could say, since early 2016, so I’ve been through many different styles of workouts. For the last 2 years or so, I’ve done my normal cardio routine at the gym on an elliptical, then strength training for an hour or so. It wasn’t only time consuming, but it didn’t break a sweat. I had a rut going and didn’t know it. Fit52 is formatted for every person, beginner to advanced, and your body doesn’t have time to adjust to the exercises bc they’re always changing. If your body adjusts to an exercise, it’s not a good thing and form is everything. You have easy demonstrations, break periods (but not too long), and a bunch of variety. I got the book by Carrie too, which has helped me live a healthier lifestyle. I’d highly recommend this to anyone I know (and, I have).

I’m so sad because I have been LOVING doing the six days of workouts in Carrie’s book. I’ve gone through them a number of times. I love using the cards variety and unpredictability of what’s coming next. And they are amazing workouts!! I downloaded the app to get some new workouts to switch it up. I hate the way the app works. I like using my own cards and going at my own pace. But the app sometimes is too slow, sometimes too fast. I had to pause it multiple times then press the fast forward button and then it told me I couldn’t skip anymore exercises even though I didn’t actually skip any workouts. I felt like I was on my phone half the time. Plus none of the moves were any different from the ones in the book. I love the concept so I’ll probably just find some workouts online and adapt them to use the cards because I have loved that. You can’t even look through different workouts without starting and going through the whole thing. It keeps giving me notifications that I’m changing “my path.” I’ll stick with it for another week until my trial runs out, but then I’m out.

The app works very well in it’s simplicity. While there are multiple avenues for improvement the biggest issue I’m having right now that’s making me stop using it is the variety. I fit a quick workout in in the morning, the half workouts are fantastic for this, but doing 2 to 3 exercises for a half hour just doesn’t work for me. You finish lunges and it tells you to get ready for lunges, Repeat that three times. Or maybe throw superman in the middle but then you’re doing lunges again. With 52 cards you would think you wouldn’t get the same exercise 2! 3, or 4 times in a row or not even with one different one in the middle and then again. One addition I would love to request is the ability to set what equipment you have for the possibility of harder or more advanced exercises. I love being able to get a half workout in on the two days a week I don’t have a lot of time in the morning and then get a full work out but something more advanced the than the other days.

Let me start by saying that I love Carrie Underwood and have always thought she was #bodygoals. So when I saw this app I jumped at the chance to use it. There are some definite good things about it, but also huge room for improvement. The great things are that you can get in a good workout in less than 30 minutes and I always end these workouts dripping in sweat, which is a great feeling. The room for improvement lies in the repetition of the workouts. Much like other reviewers, I liked the idea of the card deck and not knowing what you get, but when you get 5 sets of burpees (or any other exercise movement) in a row it ruins that enjoyment. I would like a little more variety in the daily workout (ex: a set or two of burpees, then some arms, then abs, then burpees again, etc.). I need to give that specific body part a longer break than 10 seconds and I hate pressing pause in the app. I also feel like I’m doing the exact same workouts each week. I’ve done so many lunges in the last two weeks that I worry they aren’t actually challenging my body much anymore. There are also some exercises that I physically am not coordinated enough to do, so I would appreciate if if there was an alternative/simplified version of the workout in the info tab. I’ll continue to use this app during the remainder of my free trial, but I don’t think I’ll be renewing it after.

Hi there! As most other folks, I’ve tried workout apps (successful to most) that charge $100 plus. Were they pretty good, sure. Did I see the results like I am with Fit52? Nope. Those other apps were focused on having specific ‘leg day, back day, chest day etc’. With Fit52 you have every muscle group in each work out. This is why I’ve seen personal changes within the short amount of time this application has been deployed. I don’t like complex exercises (even though those Hindu push ups are still to be mastered) I want to focus on how I’m working my body and muscles vs new confusing movement. This workout gives that, plus more. Thank you everyone on the bank end of this workout app, the teachers within the workout and Carrie for sharing!
