PiYo – A Low Impact Workout That Delivers Results
PiYo is Chalene Johnson’s newest workout released with Team Beachbody. I ordered myself a copy the day it was released and it has finally arrived.
Created after sustaining injury after injury, Chalene Johnson created PiYo – a workout that is truly for everyone. PiYo is a combination of yoga, pilates and strength; it uses your body weight along with works WITH your body. It’s low-impact (meaning it’s easy on your joints, back, and previous injuries) and there is a modifier available to take the workouts down a level.
From celebrity trainer Chalene Johnson, PiYo is a low-impact, high-intensity 60-day body transformation program. It uses the most effective pilates and yoga inspired moves set to a fast pace to help burn fat and sculpt long, lean muscles. Carve every inch of the body without jumps, weights, or strained joints.

After finding out that my hormones are all over the place, I am not focusing on weight loss because it will be a losing battle. This summer I am focusing on stabilizing my thyroid levels with my new doctor and becoming healthy. After a recent trip to my new Naturopath, I found out that not only my thyroid levels are out of whack (I had my thyroid removed in 2011 and even though my medical doctor said they were fine – I knew they weren’t) but my estrogen is high, my blood pressure is low and a few other problems.
My focus is to be healthy, become stronger, build some muscle, and work on my flexibility (bonus points if I lose some body fat but I have been told not to expect it until my body is healed). I am also hoping that this workout (since it is based on yoga moves) will help me with stress and help me become more centered.
I will update my progress after each month (twice).

I want this! Love pilates and yoga together that’s what I do. I will do without the hard core on the floor though. LOL. This is serious enough on its own. I wish you have a giveaway Randa! I’d be insanely on that.
Girl you always sucker me in! lol I mean encourage me!! How would you rate this in compared to T25? How long are each session.
Wow, this one packs a punch! I have started my own new regime, but will enjoy following along on yours Randa 🙂
I look at this, I look at the six-pack in my fridge and I look at the six-pack missing from my abdomen and it all gets me wondering — is it time to re-jig my life’s priorities and get back to getting fit?
I know that workout is part mental, part diet and part exercise — this seems like a cool step to getting that balance right.
Who knows. Maybe this year I’ll get back to being active!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Haha. There are many things in life I will NEVER give up (chocolate, Ukranian Breakfast at Christmas and wine). So I live with the “everything in moderation” rule. Sometimes the moderation is a little more then I plan, but hey – it’s still life.
I haven’t heard of this yet, but it looks like a great package of stuff. I don’t know if I could follow along with a program like that. I look forward to seeing how it plays out for you.
Sounds like a cool workout. I love variety in my workouts so this would be a good one to try!
