Mind Body Spirit: PiYo
Hey hey friends!
I'm super stoked to tell you about one of my favorite workout programs... the ONE that brought me to Beachbody!
Confession: I hate exercise! Yep, I said it. The thought of jumping jacks, tuck jumps, and running makes me want to vomit! However, I am a die-hard yogi! I love to stretch and can stay in Downward Facing Dog all day!
So when I heard about Chalene Johnson's new program, PiYo, I HAD to give it a try. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love going to Yoga classes, but when you add up the travel time and class time, it takes about 2 hours total. As a busy lady, I need a daily workout that is quick (45 minutes or less TOTAL) and effective. So PiYo is the perfect solution!
It's a low-impact workout that uses your own body weight to sculpt long, lean muscles. Think of the muscle sculpting of Pilates + the flexibility of Yoga + the dynamic, fluid movement of professional athlete training.
The best part: NO equipment is needed! But don't think that just because it's not a high intensity program, it won't deliver amazing results. I lost 10 pounds and 13.5 inches in one month of the program...and to be honest, my nutrition wasn't totally on point since I celebrated my 30th birthday for about 2 weeks while completing the program ;) !
Plus, PiYo Drench was the first workout I did when I returned home from our European trip over Christmas. We walked an average of 10 miles per day, so I thought I was still in pretty good shape. Well let me tell you, after this one workout, I literally couldn't sit on the toilet for a week! OUCH! The inner thigh pain was something fierce! And while I love Autumn and the 21 Day Fix, there's just something special about PiYo that I love! Yes, any exercise will give you that after-workout endorphin high, but PiYo delivers that times 10!
The Core, Buns, and Sculpt workouts are by far my favorites and I can't wait to get back to them on a regular basis! Sean and I will be doing PiYo this month and I highly encourage you to give it a try! I have a new accountability group starting on September 14th and would love for you to join so that I can guide you through the program and help you overcome all those tempting fall treats... #pumpkinspiceeverything. Plus, the PiYo Challenge Pack is on sale this month! You will get a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the DVDs, a shaker cup, and ME as your coach for less than one month of Pilates or Yoga classes alone!
This the perfect program for anyone who wants to lose those summer ice-cream pounds, release stress and overcome anxiety, build long lean muscles, or break through a plateau with a different type of exercise.

Namaste,
