PIYO has absolutely changed my life! I was first introduced to this in June in Las Vegas when I was at the Beachbody Coach Summit. The first day I was in Vegas, I had the opportunity to workout with Chalene Johnson the fitness instructor and creator of PIYO, Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, etc. and let me just say, I knew this program would be golden for me. I had just finished training for a half marathon and I had been working really hard doing T25, 21 Day Fix, and P90x. I truly didn't realize how tight my body was. But after doing the workout with Chalene and then hearing her speak at one of the general sessions, I knew that I need to do PIYO! I am going to describe what PIYO is and then tell you my amazing results that I worked hard for and achieved.

What is PIYO?
PIYO is a low-impact, high-intensity body-transforming program that uses the most effective pilates and yoga inspired moves to sculpt long, lean muscles and burn fat. PIYO is for everyone.  |

My PIYO JOURNEY:
I am not going to lie day one I was unsure of what to expect with this new program. While doing PIYO, I drank Shakeology daily. As well as drank energy and endurance as a pre-workout and results and recovery as a post-workout drink. The first two weeks were very tough, I wasn't strong, I felt uncoordinated, I felt like I wasn't doing it right but when I let go of my fears and apprehensions, that is when I truly began to thrive. By week three, I felt like my core strength and my flexibility increase tremendously. After week 4, I had to do my measurements and I was surprisingly happy with my findings. I had lost 6.5 inches and 9 pounds. and my flexibility was much better.
The next month went by so fast. I learned more about the struggles of as I was getting stronger, the movements and some of the poses were extremely difficult. I learned to challenge myself to push beyond my limits. It might not have been easy but it was so worth it. I followed the PIYO meal plan but honestly, I should have done a better job with it because I think I would have seen better results, not that I am saying that I haven't seen great results.
As I weighed in and took my measurements at the end of 60 days, I lost 6 pounds and 8.5 inches off my body. I leaned out and felt better about myself. I may have gained 3 pounds in the second month of PIYO but I do not believe that the scale should define us and who we are. I had some major non-scale victories. When I looked in the mirror, I loved what I saw, my scrubs fit better. For me, the scale does not and will not define me. I am totally fine with gaining 3 pounds because I gained 3 pounds of muscle.

What is Next for Me?
I plan on completing a second round of PIYO. This time I am going to do the PIYO Strength program and I am going to be very strict in my meal planning and prepping and following along with the PIYO meal plan. I am going to do another round of PIYO and then once Tony Horton's new fitness program called p90 comes out, I will be doing that.
