Love this idea, yay. I made a thread for the “Basic Strength” calendar. It helps me preplan my workouts,

I think this is a great idea. My moves this week are gonna be hella modified because I have somehow managed to Jack up my hand. I guess between doing this Monday and seeing my trainer yesterday, who had me doing upper body, which also included planks.....*sighs*3

Please don’t over do it, I have to modify some moves still. Do your best and it’s a win in my book, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!! 2 -
Tomorrow should be interesting, my husband is off,
. I forgot what moves are in strength intervals so I might have to go to the gym for my workout, lol.
Piyo workouts
1) Drench (
I was only able to do 3O mins BEFORE passing out, lol)
2) Buns (Not too bad, this was actually fun,
)
3) Strength Intervals
4) Drench2 -
Totally agree with modifying poses to our present capabilities. We are where we are and we get just a little better every time we do it. I really choose to believe that.
Some of these moves are killer, like the Beast pose that she makes us move side to side and kicking the leg at the end. I die. Every time. I mean come on !!!! But I try it always. I think the idea is to push ourselves to try and keep up with Chalean and then fall to the Modifier girl if need be. The more we do it, the less modified we need to.
The feeling of strength we get from this is my absolute favorite thing.
Makes me stand a little taller
Now this week I had:
Drench
Buns
Strength Intervals
Drench
Which means I have to do Drench tonight. Oh la la. My workout nemesis. I will do it. And I will get through it the best I can by trying my hardest thinking of you guys doing the same ! I was telling Bianca, the first time I did Drench, I paused it 5 times to gather myself. This Monday, doing it again (3rd or 4th time total I think) no pauses, only a stop and rewind time to try again to figure out the confusing piYo flip.
We are stronger together. I truly believe that !
So happy to have you guys as a team

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA @KrystinaMTL !! Thank you for setting this up!
I am ready to PIYO my butt into shape with you ladies!
I did strength intervals today and haven't done this one too often so it was a workout. This is the only workout I see in the set that has any kind of jumping. They specifically advertise no jumping so I was surprised when I first tried it. I don't mind jumping now but when I was 200+ pounds and lived over my landlord, I could have really used PIYO. I used to hate doing any workout DVDs back then because I felt like I was going to vibrate my house to ashes. Lol.
I have one more workout left for the week....DRENCH! Will do tomorrow.1 -
@bianca616, glad to see you found us, yay. Today is strength intervals, getting my running around before hitting the gym.2

When I first started PiYo my wrist was killing me! Its funny because she even mentions it in one of the workouts and says it will improve. Its tough on the hands and wrists but it has gotten better.
I also modify every Tricep pushup she does. I am just not at the place to be able to do regular tricep pushups especially since its a big part of her PIYO pushup sessions. In the more advanced workouts she really speeds up the tempo and I just focus on getting in all the moves, slowly and steadily. If I miss one because I am behind is fine with me.1 -

Me too !
I do ALL my tricep push-ups modified.
I dream of the day I can do ONE on my toes.
Totally agree wit the wrist thing. Totally gets better.
I sweat more during piyo than I did some cardio workouts I've done.
I think that says it all.0 -
So since we ONLY have ONE television I can do my Piyo workouts on, I might have to this on my iPad......someone is hogging it, go figure,
. Triceps push-ups are the only way I can do them, too

LOVE IT!!
Did Drench this morning and it lived up to its name. I had to put my knees down several times (that beast sequence is ridiculous) and went into childs pose once or twice. Again my tempo was not great at the end but I did those flips and all. Will take a post workout sweat shot next time!2 -

You BOTH are killing me, hehehehe. I’ll do Drench too, lol. The beast sequence is a killer.......not brave enough for pictures, though, lol1

Alright guys I joined this group to cheer you on. I have access to PIYO though beach body on demand so I am going to try and do it once in a while so I know what you guys are talking about. A couple months ago I told my husband my mind wasn't right and it would help me a lot if he would workout with me. He has been an angel and we have been doing workouts on beach body but I'm thinking of not pushing the PIYO with him. Right now we are doing Hammer and Chisel. I am obsessed with being on myfitnesspal and I will be checking in on your posts often!!!! Go Piyoritas!!3

Jamie, how cool to have your husband do any kind of workout with you, welcome aboard, Btw, my bones are sore, a good sore though. 3

Thank you @Jamie6636!! That is so great that your husband works out with you. My husband has been procrastinating on working out and will only weight train, no workout routines. How is hammer and chisel? @KrystinaMTL and I have been discussing which exercise series we should move to after PIYO and would love any input you may have since you have access to them all. Since we are talking about incorporating weights or bands we were looking at Chalean Extreme. How do you like Beach Body on demand?0 -

Awesome Jamie !
Welcome to the PiYoritas !!
I did Hammer and Chisel last year around this time for a little less than a month. It is good and hard, like we like it right? It is definitely an option for @bianca616 and I’s next step in January. That, or Body Beast or Chalean Extreme (although I have done that one completely already). Any thoughts ?
I already have the DVDs but if I didn’t I’d totally go Ondemand.
Exciting !
Goooooo strength training !
I love the feeling of getting stronger, tighter, and fiercer by working my body hard.
Arghhhhhhh (double flexing) lol3 -

Well here is my beach body story:
I bought the original p90x when it first came out on an infomercial. I never got through the whole thing but I was very close. It is much too time consuming. I have never regretted buying the program. The workouts are excellent and I still use them often.
I bought Hardcore 22. I absolutely love it! We got through 2 rounds before my husband became bored. I loved that all the workouts are short but it really kicks your butt. All the workouts are great cardio. Disadvantage is that it is a lot of burpees, pull-ups, pushup so not that great on the body if you have any knee/ shoulder issues.
I did the free trial for beach body on demand and then cancelled. I was doing other things at the time. More recently I resubscribed. I paid $99 minus 5$ because I used ebates. It is about $9 a month. I could spend the $95 taking my family to Applebees one time so I think it is totally worth the price for the year. The amount of workouts I have access to is awesome and they are so easy to access.
Hammer and Chisel is OK. A ton of strength training. I have found that I need more cardio so I have been hopping on my elliptical after my workout. You also need a bench, pull up bar dumbbells, ect. The workout is about 30 minutes and it goes fast. My husband thinks its perfect. He just wants to be sore after a workout. He is a janitor so he gets plenty of walking for the day.
I am the most uncoordinated person I know. Any thing that has dance and coordinations moves are not fun for me at all. I think PIYO may even be too hard for me. I have not tried anything with Chalene yet. I look forward to trying out PIYO, Insanity and maybe even p90x 2 and 3. There is a lot to choose from which is fun.

Hi guys !
Alright, a new week, let’s get this done !
@Jamie6636 I just saw you replied about the B.B. programs. I’m running out of time so I’ll read it carefully and reply later....
Ok
I am off work today and it’s a rainy November day.
I am off to the Movies (going to walk to the subway station, about 45 mins there) and then I am having a small popcorn. Yes I am cause it’s gonna be burned off my getting there and back. I call it balance.
But before I get out the door, must get the Piyo done ! Of course
Core. In 5 minutes.
Later PiYoritas !3 -

CORE DONE!
I use my Fitbit to track my calorie burn during a workout and it says I only burned 61 calories for the half hour. Have to believe that the muscle I am building will burn more calories when I am not working out!0 -

Mon: Core (Finished completely better form next time)
