You should keep your core tight and work at level that reaches heavy breathing. ### 5/5 — Easy enough to do in front of the television *2020-10-20* I could not ask for more. All in all it’s less than 15 minutes which is quite doable every day. ### 5/5 — Great way to work in some activity *2020-09-14* My job is mostly sitting this really helps to avoid stiffness from sitting so much helps to get you up out of the chair ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-07-15* I have been using the app for 2 weeks and am really enjoying it. Easy to follow and I love the fact you get a different exercise every day ### 5/5 — Good to get started again *2020-07-01* Good for this +70 year old woman to get back to regular exercise. Doable and challenging and I can tell the difference after 16 sessions. Guidelines are clear and I like the option of no one talking to me. It helps to know some of the exercises. ### 5/5 — Back on Track *2020-06-12, version 1.9* I do this every evening. I used to work out faithfully in the past. I stopped because of my job demands. I love the daily variations in the workouts. I really work up a sweat. It is perfect for me at this stage of my ramping up. I like how the little person does the repetitions with you. ### 5/5 — First three days *2020-05-20* I am not very Mobil but this work out does help me to move more freely. It does get my heart pumping ### 4/5 — Motivational *2020-05-11* As a older person this workout is great..different each day! Feel good when I’ve done it! ### 4/5 — Beginners workout *2020-05-07* It is a bait and pay. Free to download but you can’t start a workout without buying a subscription ### 5/5 — Beginners *2019-10-20* I am 70 and have very bad mobility the one I chose is a gentle workout. It’s great ### 5/5 — Great app!!!! *2019-09-16* Doing these exercises every day has made me feel great , supple and fitter thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-03-20* When I pressed SIGN UP it would keep going off of the app ! And I was so looking forward to be using it ### 1/5 — If I could give zero I would. *2020-06-04* Not even got anywhere on this app. The minute you open it it ants you to subscribe. Not free at all, a complete scam. Wanted this for some exercises while being a wheelchair user but obviously we have bottomless pits of cash!!! Terrible making people think it’s free. **Developer response:** Hi there - Sorry the app isn’t what you expected. We don’t market it as free and the in the app description we say there’s a subscription associated with it. This is because we work with trained physical therapists to create the content and we don’t rely on any ads. To create new workouts on a regular basis and to continually improve the app without advertisements, we charge a subscription. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2020-04-19* This app is impossible to unsubscribe from - the unsubscribe buttons do not work and take you on a never ending loop of frustration. They then slug you $10 Bucks even when you have decided this app is not for you during your ‘free trial’ The workouts are a joke, graduating from can walk a few steps to can walk for an hour! **Developer response:** Hi there - sorry you’re not happy with the app. App subscriptions are managed here: https://support.apple.com/and you can request a refund here: https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ - please email us at info@power20app.com if you need further help! ### 1/5 — Not free anymore *2020-01-19* I loved this App and used it a lot to do low impact exercises after suffering ill health. After the latest update I can’t use for free anymore and have to pay a monthly fee. I have looked at the other free apps from the same maker but I can’t use them due to my health. Why are these still free? Very disappointed that the one app designed to get beginners back into exercise is now chargeable. Unless it’s made free again I won’t be using this app anymore, which is a real shame :-( ### 1/5 — Apps broken. *2019-11-24* I really liked this app as I’m disabled and it’s the first app I’ve came across that lets me modify for that. How ever I don’t think the app works anymore and if just keeps pushing me towards buying another app or website. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work. *2015-03-19* Crashes on start. No information about the type of exercises you will be doing before download or attempting to start the app which won't start anyway. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2024-04-07* Days achieved don’t always register. Can’t change workout level. Today won’t load. ### 2/5 — Not free *2021-05-02* One week “free” trial you have to enter payment info to start and select a subscription level. ### 2/5 — $10/month *2020-01-01* Trial only $10/month ### 3/5 — Free app *2020-06-09* I don’t understand how you say free app and then it charges me. I will admit I did decide to try it and accepted the fees, however don’t state you are a free app then to move into the app you have to pay. I was caught off guard by that. I hope it is worth the money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect for beginners! *2023-06-30* I have been so frustrated with attempts to improve my strength. Everything I tried was too hard and defeating. Finally found an app to help me get started and build the base strength to move on to harder workouts. ### 5/5 — mike5 * *2022-09-01* seem to be having trouble downloading the workout the last couple of days ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-06-29* Haven’t been able to do this regularly since an injury but started gently to reintroduce it gently. It’s so useful. I love the stretches and they are really aiding my recovery. Great! Now I’m finally back into a routine with these exercises they are really helping. Such a great combo of stretches and strengthening. Really miss these exercises if I don’t do them! ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2022-05-10* 80 in October. Recovering from Covid. The lowest level is right now highly appropriate, helping to restore energy and strength to normal. _Mark ODDIE ### 5/5 — Doable *2022-02-23* Quick workouts that are my ability. I like the randomized workout. It holds my interest better than the same routine. ### 5/5 — Gets me going and stretching *2021-12-28, version 2.0* At 63, I don’t do a lot and this gets me up and stretched. Wish the verbal instructions came before the actual exercise. It would help if the last exercise ended with a chime ### 5/5 — Totally great out for beginners.l with limited abilities 😍 *2021-08-24, version 2.0* Totally great out for beginners. I am a 50 year old beginner with limited lotion due to hospitalization but this workout is easy to begin I love love love it! Afterwards I am full of energy as well. I highly recommend this work out to anyone with limited abilities😍 ### 5/5 — Like it *2021-01-20* Just started but I think this will work for me. It’s a good place to start since I have been pretty much inactive. I like the characterized figure and no music. That way, there is no judgement about either...just me and the exercise. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-11-29* This is more realistic for me I am 60 so doing burpees for me is not an option at this level **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review. We are continuously working to improve the app. ### 5/5 — Great exercise routines for obese people *2020-10-27, version 2.0* I really look forward to each routine this app has ready for me every day. I have over 100 pounds to lose, and the exercises are challenging enough but very do-able! If I have trouble doing any particular exercise at first, I find it a bit easier to do the next time around. These routines are making me stronger and give me more energy throughout my day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
