PiYO Review !

As some of you may have read, i recently tried the at home work out PiYO from Beach Body.

The trainer Chalene Johnson put together a all new work out based on some of the elements from Pilates, and Yoga.  I am a total YOGA junkie, however Pilates is something that i have never excelled at, so i was a bit hesitant. But due to an injury, i was needing a low impact work out, that would get me back into enough shape, and flexibility so i could function! 

Anyways, PiYO is a 2 month program- in which you don’t need any required equipment because you are basically using your own body weight as weights ( which for me, thats enough weight to start off with lol ) … Although, i do recommend some type of yoga mat…A cheap one will work ( i personally have a higher end one cause my feet sweat…. a lot, sexy — i know ;) ). 

So far, the ‘DRENCH’ work outs are my favourite…and i have lost 10 lbs so far. Unfortunately, i don’t feel that successful because that 10 lbs only got me back to my regular weight because since i injured my back… i happened to blow up, quite large. 

Now that i have gotten through most of this work out, i have decided i will probably run through it one more time to strengthen up a bit more, and then maybe move on to something a little bit more challenging. With that said, PiYo is a GREAT work out for people who are just beginning to work out, or are crippled like me - and need something that more low impact ! 

Have you tried out PiYO? What’s your favourite section out of the work out ? 

It's Been A Minute, But - I'm Back

I totally fell off the bandwagon this summer- and my body is really starting to show it... Between all the summer festivals, parties, and simple just being a social butterfly. I found it really hard to stay on track as per my diet, and especially as per working out.

Another issue, is i started having severe back issues in july, and that really had things come to a screeching halt... Because there are some days i find it difficult to walk.

That being said, now that.... I'm starting to blow u like a blimp, i have no choice but to push through the pain.

With that, i have to say that PiYo has been the BEST choice for me to get back on track with since it is a low impact work out- i feel like i am doing something but my back isn't crippling me beyond the point of return.

Anyway, i thought i would drop a quick line here saying that i am BACK and ready to attack (LOL).
And i will not fail this time around... Especially as i have joined a challenge group this time to help hold me accountable!
