I am a self professed PiYo nerd. After the baby was born, I hit a plateau. I had terrible Postpartum Depression, and Baby B had terrible reflux so I was getting absolutely no sleep. And as we all know, no sleep leads to no energy, which leads to no working out. I was miserable. After crying for a few days (weeks) over my body I started going for walks and jogs with the baby in the stroller. I knew I needed more though, and so contacted my friend Gabriella Harrison who is also a Beachbody Coach, letting her know I wanted to check out PiYo, which I had heard her talk about on her coach Facebook page. She hooked me up with the challenge pack, which included the PiYo workout series and Shakeology.
I had done Shakeology before, but had gotten off the wagon for various reasons during the previous year.
Within a week of drinking Shakeology every morning on my way to classes, and fitting in PiYo after the baby went to bed, I started feeling better. Within two weeks I started seeing some definition in my waist and thighs. Within a month, my pre-pregnancy clothes were starting to be less tight, and I didn't want to cry or kill myself every time I put on a pair of pants. Combined with walking 2-4 miles to and from classes each day, and not having time to eat because of studying and a demanding baby, I dropped about 12 lbs. Then life got in the way, and my workouts dwindled. I could tell a difference in how I felt emotionally, and how my clothes felt. But, the great thing about PiYo is that is comes with a workout schedule so if you fall off track you can always pick back up in the program where you left off, or start the program back over.
The program is so easy to follow; a mix of yoga and pilates (hence, PiYo) and is challenging enough that you can always work on your form and moving up to a new level instead of just going through the motions over and over and over. Rarely do I get bored with this program, even with starting it over.
