Juna: Pregnancy Workouts

During my first pregnancy several years ago, I was frustrated looking for adequate yet appropriate workouts. At the same time, prenatal fitness and nutrition advice was contradictory and confusing depending upon the source. Finally there is an app dedicated to keeping you in shape (yay! I actually sweat during my prenantal workouts!) and also keeping you and baby healthy during pregnancy. I’m so grateful for my pregnancy this time around I can be supported mind and body through this one stop shop. All the workouts, nutrition information, and recipes as well as information on your growing baby is in one place. The app is so user friendly, the workouts and recipes are awesome and feel tailored to me, and I love the Juna community (Facebook page, podcast etc) that comes along with the app. The best part is, I can use this even after I have the baby as well to help get my body back safely and to talk to other moms in the same stage as me. If you are pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant or postpartum you NEED this app! Thank you Juna!!!! 🙌

The Juna app was appealing to me for the workouts. I was doing higher intensity exercises before I got pregnant and wasn’t having a hard time finding my groove during the first trimester. I’ve got cardio down but lower motivation and inspiration when it comes to strength workouts. Using Juna in my home before a run or before work has helped me immensely. I’m sticking with it! I don’t use the nutrition feature that much since I’m an RD and have a different pregnancy app as well. I will say I felt a little tricked when I was automatically charged for entire year instead of the $20 per month after my 7 day free trial. I decided I will likely use it more than 5 months so it will be worth it and paid the $100 without complaining (until now). I also will mention the workouts changed and there is no longer cardio guidance, just 2 days per week when you are told to do cardio on your own. I kind of liked hopping and running around my room! Anyway overall great addition to helping me stay healthy throughout my pregnancy and I highly recommend.

I loved this app during the trial period! It’s great because it has nutrition needs, information about what week you’re on, breathing exercises, and guided workouts (though Tuesday and Thursday are cardio days which are not guided, and Sunday is rest day). The “manage subscription” button sent me to a broken link, so I was a little worried I’d be charged for the app, but I was able to cancel before my 7 day trial ended by going to my Apple subscriptions in my iPhone settings. I sent an email to support to alert them of the glitch. If I had more disposable income I would definitely have kept the subscription, but I’m about to be a single mom.

Multiple family members of mine have been popping kids out left and right. They’ve always mentioned they’ve wanted a fitness app specifically for the times they’re going through pregnancy but they could never find one that catered to that specific need. Every app out there right now is all about tracking workouts and/or with the goal to make you lose weight. Those are great, but not when it comes to being pregnant. I checked this app and and it’s perfect for those needs. 100% will be recommending this app to them.

Finally! An app that isn’t filled with the same generic info for each trimester, not to mention it actually addresses the fourth trimester, too. I learned it’s basically impossible to find workout programs specifically for pregnancy, so when this came out, I had to try it. The programs are easy to follow and you don’t have to worry about modifying everything since it’s specifically for pregos, unlike every other workout subscription I have. I really appreciate the down to earth style the content is written in, too.
