Hi, I am going to start PiYo/Body Beast hybrid on August 4th. I need the accountability and MFP gives me the opportunity to log in my meals and exercises in one place.

If you are interested in joining me let me know.

    That sounds like a really interesting hybrid! I've only done the shoulders workout from Body Beast but I enjoyed it.

    The workouts from Body Beast are great, and although I prefer to push my limits with heavier weights, I think this time I will stay with a moderate weight and just focus on improving my form and being better with my meals. I have lost some flexibility so thought the pilates/yoga would help with that.

    This does sound like an interesting hybrid! I should be recovered from surgery by then so I would love to join you!

    I was just googling Body Beast/Piyo hybrid and this discussion came up - too funny! I'll actually be starting mine this week. Have you found a schedule for the hybrid or will you be making it up?

    As short as the Body Beast workouts are (30-40 minutes), it should not be too difficult to add the 30-minute Pilates or Yoga workouts from P90X3, possibly on the same days as a cooldown.

    Please let me know as well. I will be done with P90x3 on 07/26. I was planning to start Body Beast on 7/28 amd I am thinking about adding PiYo for continuing to work on flexibility. I just ordered BB Friday and will likely order PiYo Monday. Initially, I am just planning to do PiYo in the morning and BB after work.

    Must admit that I prefer the P90x3 yoga and Pilates to Piyo.

    I have noticed there seems to be a trend toward hybridizing different things. I suspect it is just a way of squeezing more money out of people by hybridizing two or three things together and then floating it on the market as something new.

    I guess the trend will come full circle and eventually people will be seeking the pure elements again and so on.

    A quick question are body beast or piyo lower impact? I have severe plantar facitiis and can not do a lot of jumping moves.

    I would like to join this group as well. I've been doing PiYo and running for a few weeks but want to swap the running for body beast.

    PiYo is definitely low impact. It's a mix between Yoga and Pilates. I am doing it right now and have no problems.

    Sorry I was MIA - I was out of the country for a few weeks and just able to get to the message board again. If you want in the group please friend request me so I can add you. I have a couple hybrid calendars you can use. Unfortunately, my Piyo was not shipped yet so I will be doing Beast until it arrives.

    Thanks!

    you can modify all moves so it does not affect your feet. I use a ice water bottle and roll them when mine flares up. I also found that a good support shoe during the workout prevents additional discomfort.

    Body Beast is a weight training program whereas Piyo is a combination of Pilates and yoga so as with any exercise program or routine, you go at your own pace and your body will tell you when to stop.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!

    @yogicarl - I hybrid my programs because I get bored doing the same thing all the time. I love weight training but feel that I could benefit from adding a program/routine to incorporate flexibility also. You can hybrid anything, even Jillian Michaels with other flexibility DVD's. These two are just programs that I wanted to hybrid together as I feel they will give me more of what I am looking for.
