Time for a small confession.
As a Beachbody Coach, I DO at least TRY all of our programs when they are released, but some I don’t do the full calendar, or even every workout within the program.
In September, we are offering an amazing savings on the PiYo Challenge Pack from Chalene Johnson. And since my Crew team leader, Coach Jimmy is in Drench, me and 2 of the local coaches on my team decided to give it a try in my garage gym. Well, it IS called Drench, and my garage WAS about 90 degrees last night, but we had 3 fans going and we are tough girls, so we gave it a go.
That’s The Coach Jimmy on the right! 🙂
But THIS is where things get interesting!
If you know my story, you know that I have a lumbar spinal fusion from L3-S1, that was put in during my 3rd back surgery in 1999 as a result of severe instability of my spine from a 1994 work injury when I was 22 years old working as a CNA at a Veterans’ Nursing Home. This is what my back looks like during that surgery and now in X-ray.
Since that fusion, my balance or flexibility have never been even close to what it used to be. Atrophied hamstrings and psoas and a cut erector spinea muscle being the biggest reasons. Fear of moving and hurting myself worse and depression that resulted in a love affair with prescription drugs, booze, and my couch, all while ballooning up to nearly 300# also didn’t help.
But back to my point…
We were all SOAKED!!! We looked like we had gone swimming in our clothes! At one point, I changed my head position, and sweat RAN off the top of my head!
Conclusion of the story? PiYo is an AMAZING all encompassing fitness workout!
Not only does it work on flexibility and stretching and core work like you expect from the name, but also cardio and strength training! WOW! And this girl is a bit sore this morning. I just Thank God that I used my Beachbody Performance Recharge last night, or I may not have been able to get out of bed today! 😀
So, if you are willing to start at the beginning and work up to the more advanced workouts, I am 100% positive that you would get FABULOUS results from this program. I did have to slow down and/or do the modifications for a few things, but maybe with a little more PiYo in my life, my balance would actually improve! 🙂 I am willing to give it a try and plan to add it to my regime more often. Just maybe not DRENCH again too soon 😉

MAKE today GREAT!!!
