Motherhood is a workout—both physically and mentally. But as challenging as it is, it didn't help me shed those stubborn pounds. Time and time again, I'd embark on various workout programs, only to plateau or see no change at all. So, as a last-ditch effort, I turned to Tempo Move.
This program caught my attention with its different approach, using heavier weights than I’d ever dared to try. Admittedly, I was hesitant. Lifting weights? I’d always associated that with bulking up, which wasn’t my goal.
But I learned lifting weights builds lean muscle, increasing my metabolism and burning more calories in the long run to bust through plateaus.
And guess what? Lifting weights with Tempo is what finally worked for me.
It comes with the whole setup
One of the challenges I often faced with many workout programs was the unexpected need for specific equipment mid-way. They'd suddenly say, "Okay, now grab your 10 lb weights," and I’d be left scrambling. It had taken so much to get myself to do the workout in the first place, any roadblock was enough to make me walk away from it.
That's where Tempo stood out. Not only did it introduce me to weightlifting, but it also provided everything I needed in one neat package. I no longer had to guess what equipment I might need or go searching for it during a session.
The $395 investment in Tempo equipment brought me a 20-piece set, including a storage cabinet, four weight collars, two 7.5lb adjustable dumbbells, 35 lbs of mixed weights, and an HDMI + USB-C cable pack. All you need is a little over 1 square foot to store this stuff, really. This all-in-one setup meant no more mid-workout surprises, making it much easier to stay consistent and motivated.
My daily readiness score meets me where I am
When I got all set up, I had another potential barrier: I wasn’t sure how to get started. But I found that Tempo Move hooks it up with really clear, easy-to-follow instructions. I found an adaptable training plan on the app that felt good for where I was. The app tracks details of my workout so I can see progress toward my goals, and it generates a daily readiness score to modify my plan in real-time, taking into account my sleep quality, workout data, heart rate, and muscle recovery.
To put it lightly, I felt cared for by this system. I still feel like it’s looking out for my body and keeping me honest.
It works with my iPhone camera for real-time guidance
While I’ve never liked group workouts—the watchful eyes!—one thing that was lacking during all my failed attempts at home workouts was guidance from a pro. I had no idea if my form was the problem. Tempo actually has responsive guidance through the app that gives in-workout feedback through your camera. Mind blown.
Ensuring correct form means optimizing my range of motion, rep targets, and meeting those goals. Ultimately, it equals more effective weight loss for me. This is just one of many reasons why Tempo Move is working for me, and showing me the results I hadn’t been able to achieve before.
Looking and feeling my best, all thanks to Tempo
I’m still in disbelief that Tempo changed my life the way it did. By setting aside cardio, introducing weights, and then amping up the intensity, I now see I had been doing it all wrong before. My workouts feel like part of my lifestyle, and my weight loss is no longer preoccupying my thoughts.
