Mum loses more than 11 stone doing 'wall pilates' at home
Laci Gilbert weighed 19st 9lbs and now fits in one leg of the jeans she wore at her largest A mum-of-two has impressively shed over 11 stone in roughly two years by fitting home workouts around her children's routines without needing any fancy gym gear. Laci Gilbert dropped a whopping 116lbs with the aid of a lifestyle app that kept her on track by offering exercise guidance and nutritional tips. Embracing wall pilates as a key element of her new routine, she claims this simple yet effective workout is a godsend for busy and budget-conscious individuals. Laci explained: "Wall pilates is great for somebody who's limited on time and even financial limitations. All you need is motivation and a wall, and you can do it. It is not difficult. It is low impact on your joints. As somebody who has never been much of a high-impact cardio person, I think it's great. You feel the benefits in your muscles without the impact to your joints." Opting for tailor-made exercise regimes via the Simple App - which offers custom daily workouts, scientifically-endorsed advice, dietary assessments and an AI assistant – Laci found her perfect match in fitness. Speaking about her transformative journey, Laci shared: "It has changed my life and I'm so grateful for it. As working mums, wives, mothers, life takes over and sometimes we don't have time in the evenings to get to the gym or just don't feel like moving. The Simple App gives you a no-excuse reason to get up and move, especially when you can do it at home with no equipment." As reported by Nottinghamshire Live, the Simple App is available on both Android and Apple platforms. It's in good company following a surge in fitness apps in recent years, particularly during the pandemic when gym-goers were seeking alternative ways to stay fit. Lifesum is a similar dietary and fitness habit app, while MyFitnessPal focuses on meal planning and calorie counting. Simple combines features from both of these apps and adds extra functionality. It's currently available with a 60% discount when the code REACH60 is applied at checkout. The Simple App Get 60% off Simple Sign up Upon signing up, users complete an extensive survey covering health goals, preferences, and previous weight loss experiences. The responses are used to create a fully customisable programme tailored to those specific goals, using features like food logging through typing, voice or photo, and a Nutriscanner for meal planning. The app offers workout plans that can include strength training, cardio, or even Laci's favourite wall pilates. Additionally, Simple features its own AI-powered coach, Avo, which provides instant responses, effectively offering round-the-clock access to wellbeing and fitness advice whenever needed. Over 17 million people have embraced the Simple App since its launch, including Laci, who not only transformed her life but also banked some cash from Simple for sharing her genuine thoughts post-transformation. Remember, results may differ, so it's wise to consult a healthcare pro before any big lifestyle shake-up. Sporting an impressive 4.3 out of five stars on Trustpilot from over 29,000 reviews, the Simple App has users singing its praises. One happy user shared their joy: "This is the only plan that has worked for me. Tried several in the past and nothing has worked for me. Easy meal plans based on the foods I like. Workouts are designed for me based on my limitations. If I have a question about serving size or help with my workouts it gets answered immediately." A second wrote: "Love the app, easy to use. Positive helpful AI support. Doesn't over complicate things, eg counting calories or worrying about portion size. If you are dishonest it is only with yourself." Sadly not everyone's over the moon, as one user found the Simple App to be a bit tricky: "Not the easiest to navigate to log food or activity from the day before." Another agreed, simply stating: "It's too complicated." However, someone else was impressed with the app's motivational aspect, stating: "This app is amazing. It has kept me way more engaged than any other dieting app I've tried. It is super helpful and I love the feature of chatting with coach Avo, who always has the answers and suggestions I need to keep going."
