I'm sure upper would be a lot lower. It's only about 20 minutes long and there's less to get my heart rate up. I will try it and see the next time I do it. I imagine mine would be higher than 44 though.0 -
Just wondering what results you all got from this? I just started a week ago after getting cleared to exercise after my C-section. I agree it doesn't seem to burn that many calories, but I really like the workouts.0

HRM are really for steady state cardio so i don't think they are accurate for piyo. Maybe wrong though.0

I love that so many people are doing Piyo on here. I started my second month about a week ago and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this program. When I first started I was really discouraged because I had a lot of difficulties with the routines. I am obese, we will just say obese because that is what I am, lol but within the first month I not only lost weight but you can actually see how I have gained a lot of muscle in my legs and by back side has lost its shelf (big booty people know what I mean). Laying on my back is not painful and the pain I would get in my lower back has gone away. I still get a bit agitated in my lower back because of a car accident I was in a few years back, but Piyo has really helped me build those muscles back up. I still have a little issue with some of the moves, but most of the workouts have become much easier for me to keep up with. Because of weight I can not go so low on my squats because of knee aggravation so I still follow Michell's alternate moves, but needless to say I feel so much better with myself since starting the program. Once this one is done I will do the 10 minute trainer and then I plan to start Piyo over again. I don't do the meal plan because I struggle with eating enough since I have been working on losing weight so much, but with a 7lb loss from the one month, I am okay with that.. Why? Because a lot of my fat has turned into muscle and you can see that my waist is getting smaller, by back shelf is gone and my calves have toned up a great deal. Not to mention my bum is getting tight. If you are starting out and get discouraged, stick it out. Charlene tells you that the moves will get easier and they do..0
