Moves App workout programs are built to accommodate a variety of workout environments. Built into our exercises are alternates or modifications that can be swapped for injury, equipment, or fitness levels.

To maximize your workouts and ongoing progress, we would recommend access to the following equipment:

  1. Dumbbells: We recommend a variety ranging from 5-30 lbs, but the specific weight will vary depending on your fitness level.

  2. Resistance Bands: Resistance bands are extremely versatile. They are great for upping the intensity of a leg day, substituting a cable machine, warming up, or completing workouts on the go. We recommend investing in 2-3 different kinds:

    • Mini Loop Bands: These wrap around your legs and typically come in a pack with light to heavy resistance.

    • Long Loop Bands and/or Cable with Handles: these can wrap around anything stationary, support pull-up progression, or replace a traditional cable machine. We recommend a variety of 5-65 lbs of resistance.

  3. Medicine Ball: We recommend a ball between 10-15 lbs. Alternates will be included if you do not have access to one.

  4. Elevated Surface: This could be a study chair, bench, box, or anything that would support your full weight.

Optional Equipment

  • Kettlebell: weight can be anywhere from 15-40+ pounds – you can always substitute with a single dumbbell

  • Barbell and Plates

  • Squat Rack

  • Adjustable Workout Bench

  • Jump Rope

  • Cardio Machines

Equipment does vary by program, so we suggest reviewing the unique program descriptions here. And check out some of our favorite equipment here!
