19. Every move in X3 has a Beginner/Modified, In between move, and Challenging/Hard

PiYo - by Chalene Johnson


When I first heard of PiYo, I had no clue what it was all about. I knew it must be awesome, because Chalene Johnson is awesome, in my eyes at least. She is one of the best fitness experts in the US today and the world seems to agree with that. She created PiYo about ten years ago and says it is like “yoga or pilates for hyper people.”
 
 

She is a New York Times best selling author of PUSH, creater of the FREE 30 day push online (www.30daypush.com) and creator of Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, & ChaLEAN Extreme. PiYo is especially designed to add flexibility and strength to the body. This is a mixture of intense and unique choreography that is fun, challenging and result oriented.
 
 

I’ve done my research on the topic and was surprised to see the benefits of PiYo. This technique by Chalene works on core and abdominal strength while adding stability to the body. I was able to do a PiYo workout at this year’s Super Sunday event through Beachbody. I did it along side 2 friends and we all had a GREAT workout!

There is news about PiYo possibly being available through a DVD program SOON!! Also, you can become PiYo certified if you’d like!!

The mixture of energy with the moves worked well and is a good blend. It will keep you motivated so that you give your best and don’t get bored. It ensures that you STRETCH… which, let’s be honest, most people SKIP that part!
 
 

The exercises are truly unique and are bound to give good results. I was sweating a TON at the end of my first PiYo workout! I am sure you will love it too!

Plus, Chalene Johnson, is just AWESOME!
 
xoxo,
Brittany

Go 1% further!

Have you ever asked yourself if you ENJOY your workout?
 
I know that may be a dumb question to most people. Most people would say.... no I do not ENJOY my workout - I just do it because I know it needs to be done & check it off my list!

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!! I promise!!

I started Body Beast 2 weeks ago - & I am in love!! I have always loved lifting heavy. There is just something about this program though! It is efficient, not too chatty, very challenging, and the nutrition plan is SO complete!

I have honestly enjoyed ALL of the nutrition suggestions as well as the recipes. I have moified my plan a bit as I am still trying to lower my body fat & build lean muscle.
 
I am taking all of the supplements according to my calorie intake goals. YES! These supplements are natural & SAFE for women to take too!
 
So far... my favorite workout is BACK & BI's.

 
Like I said, the food in this program is SIMPLE & tastes so good!! Here is a picture of my BEAST Banana Protein Pancakes I made the other day for breakfast. They are dense, because of the protein (I assume), but they are still delicious!! I am going to play around with the recipe this week & I will update you on any changes I make to the recipe to make them a little bit fluffier.
 
 
My #1 goal in this program is to LEAN OUT my legs and build visible muscle. My legs have always been my "trouble area." They are the body part that takes MUCH longer to respond to intense exercise. So I am lifting as heavy as I possibly (safely) can & pushing myself as hard as I can!

Are you doing the same? I am shooting for a "10" (effort) with every single workout.
 
If you need someone to help hold you accountable or push you to go 1% further... just contact me! I would love to be that person for you!
 
Happy Mother's Day to all of you!
 
xoxo,
Brittany
