Lovely to meet you and thank you for your awesome introduction! I'm a newbie runner and my goal for 2015 is to step out of my comfort zone and complete a 5k race. I love how PiYo helps to stretch me out after a nice jog or an elliptical session. I must admit this week has been a little off track with both my eating and…

For the classes like Sweat/Drench that are a little more intense, I log it as low impact aerobics also. It shows a greater number calories burned and I definitely feel like that is accurate for those classes vs like Define: Lower Body etc.

Core and Lower Body today. That was the last session of the Lower/Upper body workouts on my schedule, now I'm on to the full workouts!

Yes, all in good time! Please don't get frustrated. I am still having wrist issues when it comes to the side bends and pikes, but other than that my wrists are finally getting used to the pressure. I just completed Week 2. Tomorrow is Upper Body and I might add in the Hardcore on the Floor DVD just to see what it's all…

I weighed in this morning for the start of a 2 week challenge I'm a part of, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a 2 lb loss from 8 full days of PiYo and cardio. Normally I average about a 1/2 lb loss in a week, so I was very excited to see that. My goal now isn't really weight loss, focusing more on building some…

I've been adding in cardio afterwards, either running or the elliptical just to get an extra burn also. Also am adding in weights 3X a week just to really help get those muscles building.

You're right, the lower video is first and she says you can go right into the upper video. I combined them both on Saturday then did all cardio on Sunday to really get a good burn in.

Yeah, I combined them on Saturday then just did all cardio on Sunday. So not technically 2 days of rest, just 1 rest day, and one solid cardio day since overall the cardio element is a little low.

I am friends with her on Facebook also, that's how I knew that she ordered it. Wasn't trying to cause any problems, was just saying! Not trying to promote my coaching business here on MFP. I know we are not allowed to do that on this website. I merely started PiYo myself and created a Piyo group also to try and get some…

I use Endomondo on my phone, which I know still isn't completely accurate, but until I can afford a HRM (or hopefully find one in my stocking this year for Christmas) it's what I have to use. They have a Pilates option for a workout so I just wear my phone in my arm band while I'm working out and use the calories burned vs…

First off, welcome :-) Secondly, 6 lbs in 5 days is awesome!! It's always exciting to see that big weight loss in the beginning. So congrats on that! It sounds like you have a plan which is the most important part.

I totally agree. It seems like it should just have been made into one class in the first place since there is no true warm up to upper body. I definitely am going to start combining them also. Now, in combining them, do you take a second rest day since it shows Lower Body one day and Upper Body one day? Not quite sure how…

She already ordered the PiYo program and is working with her Beachbody coach. Please remember, we are not allowed to promote any outside promotions/businesses here on MyFitnessPal.

While I definitely am not a doctor, I do agree that you should be able to do this with no problem. I did two dvd's last night with no issues. Just can't believe how many pushups I did combined!

That's awesome!! I can't wait to see where I am by the end of December. Feel free to join the PiYo group I created and post about your experience/transformation! It's called PiYo - Lean & Mean before 2015

I sent you an invitation to the group! It's called PiYo - Lean & Mean before 2015

Hi there! No, I'm not an instructor, just a fan of the program. I follow Chalene Johnson's Beachbody PiYo program so I workout in my living room. She always has a modifier on screen though so you can see how to take it easy if you're just not at the level yet. I would say definitely give it a go a couple times and see if…

Yay! Would you like to join the PiYo group I created?

Feel free to add me on here! I created a PiYo group but wasn't sure how many people I'd get to join in, but I will definitely get you ladies into it. I thought we could all post daily what class we did, how we felt, how we did with food/water intake etc!

I think you are going to really enjoy the program. Low impact, no jumping, not to strenuous, always a modification shown and the classes are relatively short in time.

I know, its crazy how fast you feel it start to work! Oddly enough I am really feeling it in my core. I feel like the balancing acts are really making me focus more on stabilizing with my core. I especially love that I can workout barefoot now!

My boyfriend is very supportive of me and always takes pride in my successes. That being said, he DOES NOT eat healthy. I got him off drinking soda for a little over 6 months, then he slowly started drinking them again and put back the 15 lbs he had lost from going "sober", lol. When we go grocery shopping I stick to the…

When I'm at home and my scale is readily available, of course I do! At work I keep measuring cups (which I know are not as accurate as a scale) so if something comes up that I didn't plan for I can at least measure it out and log it more accurately then say, trying to log in a handful of something. Obviously I don't do…

Everyone's view on this is different, in my opinion. To me, I count plain water, water flavored with Kool-Aid drops/Mio/other flavors, and tea as water intake. I log that in in my diary. Of course, I try to only drink plain water and save a glass of flavored for my dinner or when I'm really craving something else.

My boyfriend and I have a very busy weekend away from home schedule, which means eating out at restaurants. I've started weighing in on Friday mornings which leaves me room for a cheat meal (meal being key word), usually dinner out on Friday and Saturday. That being said, I still try to pick the best option while we are…

Weigh! Typically the weight is usually less than when you measure it out, meaning more accurate. When I measure things, I use my eyes and most times overfill the measuring cup, when really it shouldn't be overflowing. My food scale sits out on my counter and gets used multiple times a day! Quick and easy and takes no more…

5 minute elliptical intervals X 3 Random weights 100 crunches 1 minute plank (30 seconds high, 30 seconds low) Total of 30 minutes.

I don't follow this "plan" as I love food too much to go without it for two days. However, my boss has been doing it for about 3 weeks now. The way she explained it to me is on your fasting days you can eat 500 calories whenever throughout the day, and that she was choosing to eat a 250 calorie breakfast and a 250 calorie…

So according to Scooby's TDEE calculator, here are my stats: BMR is 1,538 TDEE to maintain is 2,115 Calories based on exercise is 1,692 So the third one takes account of my exercise (I entered 1-3 hours of light exercise/week) so that is how many calories I should be eating all together? Do not eat any exercise calories…

I could honestly eat a whole jar to myself in a sitting. Generally I'll have three spoonfuls but then I feel miserable. So I've learned to stick to the 2 tbsp. serving size ONCE a day. I plan out my meals the night before so I decide if I want my peanut butter for breakfast or save it for dessert.
