PiYo (pronounced pie-yo) is one of my
absolute favorite programs and I want to share the love with you. Are you
looking to get more flexibility, open your mind, and center your inner self?
PiYo is the way to go!
Developed by my favorite trainer, Chalene
Johnson, this program the combines muscle-sculpting and core-toning benefits of
Pilates with the strength and toning benefits of yoga.
This amazing program requires no
additional equipment. Just YOU! Scared because you aren't as "bendy"
as you think you should be? There is a modifier for you to follow if needed so
this is ideal for any skill level. The workouts are short so anyone can do
them, regardless of a busy schedule or a house full of kids, and it is easy on
the joints. No heavy weights or jumping involved so you do not have to worry
about high-impact moves that will be hard on the knees. The program is completely low impact, but
will deliver results!
My next PiYo challenge group will be
starting in May 4th and I will only be taking 5 participants (either
challenge pack is required and includes a 60 day exclusive challenge group on Facebook).
Contact me to reserve your spot today or click the graphic in the right bar to get your challenge pack right away!
AND: if a healthy lifestyle wasn't
enough to motivate you, you'll also be entered in a giveaway to win a $25 gift
card if you join by 11:59pm cst on April 27th!
PS - I'm currently doing the 60 Day PiYo Challenge myself. Stay tuned for a Week 1 update next week!

PiYo Workouts
As previously mentioned, PiYo workouts
are a combination of influences, which include yoga, Pilates, strength training,
cardio and core training, all combined into one 25 to 45 minute workout set to
a fast pace. They were created specifically to help you obtain the long, lean
muscles, toned abs, firm buttocks and defined arms that yoga can help you
achieve with the benefits of a fat torching, sweat inducing cardio workout as
well. The movements in the videos are fluid so there is little impact on the
joints. Even so, you are constantly moving for the duration of the workout to
keep your heart rate up at an optimal range to burn the maximum amount of
calories. The eight workouts plus the bonus workout that come with all three
PiYo packages include:
Align: The Fundamentals (40 minutes)
Align is an all in one workout that helps you understand the correct form required to perform each of the moves in the PiYo program.

Products Included:
PiYo Workout Calendar
With the PiYo workout calendar, you will
know exactly which workout to do each day of the week for the 60 day duration
that you are doing the program. It will have you do one PiYo workout each day
of the week for six days with a rest day on Fridays. I personally started my
program on a Saturday so my “rest days” fall on Tuesdays. During the first month on the program, PiYo
focuses on improving form, alignment and overall strength. By the time you
reach the second month, you will see that PiYo increases difficulty by
incorporating longer workouts and more whole body workouts each week. If you
still have weight to lose and goals to reach, you can extend the program and
continue it for an additional 60 days.
The “fuchsia” calendar is a great place to start, but if you are looking
to amp up your strength training with the additional strength program, you’ll
follow the “aqua” side.
PiYo Quick Start Guide
The PiYo Quick Start Guide will help you start the program as soon as you receive it. It will give you a brief breakdown of the workouts and nutrition plan, along with tips to help you obtain the best results.

Tape Measure
The tape measure will help track your progress throughout your 60 day journey with PiYo. The scale is not an accurate representation of the results you will achieve since muscle weighs more than fat. It is important to take measurements of various parts of your body while doing the program to see how it is helping to burn fat away and build muscle.

Accelerated Strength Workouts
The Accelerated Strength Workouts included in the PiYo Strength DVD package are intended to bump up the intensity of the program for those that want more. Incorporating them along with the other eight PiYo workouts will help deliver faster, better results by adding additional workouts to your 60 day cycle on the program (the “aqua” side of the calendar insert).

Yoga Mat
The yoga mat is available as part of the PiYo Strength DVD package and can also be purchased individually through Beachbody. I highly recommend a good mat to help reduce pressure on your joints and to help you hands and feet “grip” the floor.

30 Day Supply of Shakeology
Shakeology is included if you purchase PiYo through a Beachbody coach as a Challenge Pack. I credit a lot of my results to incorporating Shakeology in my meal plan. It contains a fantastic blend of superfoods and nutrients that would cost hundreds of dollars if you tried to get this nutrition through other supplements. Shakeology can help you lost weight, reduce junk food cravings, increase your energy, and improve your digestion and regularity.
