The website Fitness Blender has great workouts you can do at home with minimal equipment. You can follow one of there programs or just pick an exercise. I am not sure if they have an app. 

https://www.fitnessblender.com/

It is also free.

I have a similar issue, but on the other side of my body.  Hip bones during double leg kick in pilates?  Ugh.  I have to alternate single leg kicks instead.  :/ 

Things you can do - for the chair, consider a ****yx pillow.  You can order one from Amazon and it helps a lot.   It will get better.  I used to need one for movies and long car trips, but I noticed that I forgot it and would be fine at some point.  

For sit-ups, consider adding padding like sitting on a pillow, or a pilates mat.  Or a folded yoga mat.  

It will improve as your body changes.

That's a good point about the annoying factor. I'll check out fitlist, thanks!

I have an app called fitlist-- I think it will do what you are looking for. Truth be told- it's annoying to use-I don't want to be bothered stopping after each machine (or even each workout) to log what it just did. I see it as the equivalent of walking around with a clipboard/notebook- just a nuisance. And I get annoyed that the gym will call a machine one name, the app calls it something else.

When I do strength- I just rotate between arm & legs with abs/core. 15reps, twice on each machine.

Topic: Ouch!

Hello.  I am 6 mos. Post rny surgery and have just successfully lost over 100lbs.  Here is my issue...  when sitting in a chair or performing sit-ups,  I feel as though my spine i****ting the surface.  Sit-ups have almost become impossible.   Has anyone experiencedown this and if so has it improved?

Wierd though eh? I've spent a lot of time this weekend pitching this as an app that needs developing to my husband haha. I'm going with fitocracy for now, but I'm not a fan.

I have yet to find a good app for this, sorry :(  I've looked around a lot.
