I've been seeing a lot of ads for PiYo on my Face Book feed. Does anyone here have any feedback about the workouts?

Hi SydneyH, I have been doing the program and absolutely love it! There isn't any pounding on your joints at all if that is something that you would be concerned about. She has modifier as well if you feel you just can do a move yet. If you aren't too flexible yet, you will be. You honestly think that you wouldn't get a good workout with this just because of the name but it's no joke. Did I mention that I love it? I have a PiYo Challenge Group going on FB if you would be interested joining if you decide you would like to try it. I also have an accountability group here if you would like to join that too and I can help answer more questions and you can get support and motivation from the other ladies on here and elsewhere. It's a great group!

Blend of pilates and yoga.

I do Barre3, which is a combination of ballet inspired moves, pilates, & yoga. You wouldn't think you'd get a good workout but I'm usually sweating like crazy within the first 10 minutes. For upper body work, you use light weights (2-3 lbs is suggested) & all moves are slow, controlled, & very small.

glmama, I started seeing changes in my flexibility within a few days. I was really shocked that I could do a little more so soon after starting. I love way it gets my heart rate up as well and I know that I'm getting a good cardio workout as well.

Just ordered mine a couple of days ago. I stink at Cardio so I'm hoping this will be just the ticket to get me exercising again. I've seen great reviews on it!

Thanks, Boyds. I'll definitely check it out. Haven't purchased any fitness videos in a looong time--and then it was from Collage Fitness, which is no more.

glmama you are very welcome! I am running over with videos but I love them all. Being a coach makes it hard to say no because I want to try them so I can tell others about what I think instead of getting it second handed.

FYI, CollageVideo is back. They were bought out. The site has a new look, but favorite features are still there. New stuff is being added, so check often.

Same link as before http://www.collagevideo.com/

Thanks for reminding me of this! I NOW remember that they are back--and that there were huge discussions here when the company was supposedly "going out of business".

Collagevideo has been redesigned, they are still selling workouts. I saw a quick clip of Piyo on Chalene's site, looks like fun.

hey luvboyds I would like to order this! I see that you are a BB coach - are you selling them now with the free shipping? I see other coaches on various websites but I would rather buy this from someone I trust. Not that I know you personally but I do know you're a regular here so I would feel comfortable with you. I'm not on facebook though - is there another way for me to order this?

Re: PiYo by Chalene Johnson

luvboyds — Sat, 26 Jul 2014 16:38:35 GMT

Hi olive59! Yes, there is free shipping until the 31st. . Lol...I guess you can say I go WAY back on these boards. Do you have an email address that I can reach you at. After I message you please delete it from here.

I wanted to add to what I posted above and so thank you so much for trusting me. That means a lot to me along with being comfortable. That's the main thing to me is those two elements. Thanks you!
