I've been doing C25K (starting week 3!) and can't decide which to do on my active rest days... PiYo or Zumba.

Right now it's random Xbox Fitness workouts on my off days but curious about doing either of the above to maximize my results.

(please no Beachbody sales people :tongue: )

    I'm not a sales person, but I am a runner and I am doing PiYo for cross-training. I think it's a great complement to running. Zumba is super fun too, but it doesn't have the strength-training component. You could also do yoga, Pilates, lift weights, etc. Good luck!

    Agree with piyo if it's active rest.

    Definitely go with PiYo
    ZUMBA is more of a dance cardio

    Definitely PiYo, I don't even own this myself, but the muscles it works and stretches will enhance and benefit your running. Zumba is fun, but it won't effect you the way PiYo will!

    I was thinking that the Zumba would help my cardio endurance and breathing... but looking like PiYo has greater benefits for a runner.
