I am so excited about this new workout program I started last week. It's called Piyo. NO WEIGHTS< NO JUMPS, JUST HARDCORE RESULTS! Many people have heard of Piyo and it has been taught in gyms across the country for years. But now, you can do it at home in your own living room! This is a DVD workout program from celebrity trainer Chalene Johnson. She is the creator of other programs such as Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, Chalene Extreme, and more!
If you have ever suffered injuries from participating in sports or high impact workouts, Piyo is for you! If you are a cardio junkie and need to stretch out and recover, Piyo is for you! If you love to lift heavy and need to loosen up, Piyo is for you! If you need an excuse for new workout clothes, Piyo is for you! If you have tried everything else and need something that really works, Piyo is for you!
Piyo is a fusion of Yoga and Pilates, but is also functional strength training for your body. It contains yoga inspired moves with an up tempo pace for serious fat burning cardio, strengthening, and lengthening. This program is 60 days in length with workouts from 20-40 minutes per day. Who can't fit in a 20 minute workout?? In these 60 days you will begin to develop intense core strength and lean muscle development like in a Pilates class, but also the body sculpting and stretching benefits you would see from regular Yoga. Let's not forget the heavy-duty calorie blasting of pure all out cardio! And the best part about Piyo, is it is completely low impact!
Here are some examples of some of the moves you will be doing in Piyo:
This is called beast. You will get on all fours and then lift your knees a few inches off of the floor, holding your body weight evenly between your hands and feet. From there you will touch right hand to left thigh and left hand to right thigh alternating without shifting your hips. Trust me, this is harder than it sounds!
Another move Chalene likes to use is the tricep pushup! These are done by getting into high plank and turning your fingertips outward slightly so your elbows are press into your sides. From there you will lower down keeping your elbows pointing back and close to your rib cage. These can be modified on your knees when starting out because they are difficult!
One other move that is a real scorcher is the Piyo pike. Here she has you go from a side plank, one arm in the air, bringing it under your body to the opposite ankle all in one fluid motion forming a one-arm downward facing dog type of move:
And when you are finished with just 20 minutes...you will look like this:
SWEAT DRIPPING EVERYWHERE!!
Finally, for the month of July only, You can literally get this program for $10 if you are already purchasing the Super Food shake, Shakeology!
