Download the exercise support app onto your mobile phone
My Exercise Messages is a free mobile phone app and is part of the My Hip Exercise program. It is important to download the app before you start the recommended My Hip Strength exercise.
Sticking to a regular exercise program can be tough. The My Exercise Messages app was developed to help you stick to your My Hip Strength exercise. In the app, you will be asked to input how many days you complete your My Hip Strength exercise. You’ll be asked to record this each week. You’ll also receive tailored messages designed to help you stick to the exercise program. You will be asked to use the app for the next 24 weeks. The app should be used to support all three of the recommended My Hip Strength programs.

- Makes sure to record every day you complete your My Hip Strength exercise in the app.
- The app will send you regular notifications. The notifications will include exercise reminders and tips.
- Under the app’s “Messages” tab you will be able to read and review all of the exercise notifications we send you.
- Under the app’s “Graph” tab you will be able to review your exercise sessions.
- Under the app’s “Settings” tab make sure the “Allow notifications” button is selected (highlighted green). This way you will be able to receive all of the notifications we send you.
- Under the app’s “Settings” tab there is a “Reset” button. This will rest the app and take you back to the welcome tutorial. We recommend you do not use the reset function as you will lose any record of your past exercise days and have to start back at week 1. Only use the reset function at the end of the 24 week My Hip Strength program if you would like to keep using the app beyond 24 weeks.
