PiYO is absolutely designed primarily for women. Also in the box are the food guide, schedule and… why is she looking at me like that? What you get:ĭVD’s in a package that has a sweaty Chalene looking at you like you’re made of chocolate covered pheromones. This is primarily posture instruction as you’ll spend the first five minutes simply standing. It is unlikely you will visit this workout twice due to it not actually being a workout. Keep in mind that if you’re at all familiar with P90X, Insanity, T25 or the like, you can skip this entirely. Unlike standard yoga with isometric postures, you’ll be switching things fast making it a double whammy of cardio action. Planks, up/down dogs, vinyasas…all in rapid succession.

I have to give credit where its due, this is a killer yoga routine.

The men in PiYO are sporting some amazing wax jobs which look smoother than the spoiler of a Lamborghini. That’s not something unique to PiYO either. Just about every workout video has a policy where if you decide not to wear a shirt, they shear you like a sheep. I guess what I’m saying is, you won’t find me in a workout video any time soon.īuns is as expected: squats, lunges and some floor work. A quick yet solid way to attack the hind quarters. It’s disposable modern love-pop with lyrics and it takes all the pump out of a workout. Women may like it I suppose but most men will turn it off. I had to just about break out AC/DC to overcompensate. PiYo CoreĪn abs/core attack that goes after the obliques harder than most abdominal workouts I’ve seen. I was amazed at how tight I am so I felt satisfied with what I was getting here. PiYo Strength IntervalsĪ cardio circuit trainer, and as such the name is a little misleading. The closet you get to strength is doing a little plyo and some push ups. I felt disappointed with this workout as it was crazy easy. If you’ve ever done PAP or Asylum, this will be more of a warmup in comparison. Therefore I class it as a beginner/intermediate level workout. Programs like T25 are masterfully in sync with a backbeat, but here not at all. I’m starting to wonder why there is a weight rack and push up stands on the set because it seems we’re never going to use them. Sculpt instead uses push ups, lunges, chair dips, and some yoga warrior postures to get the job done. I find the warmup has more in common with awkward Hip Hop Abs moves and dare I say, is somewhat useless. Grab a skip rope for 90 seconds and you’ll be way ahead of the game. Lower Body is very low impact yoga, vinyasas and leg lifts. Again, no weights so don’t expect Body Beast results. If you’re accustomed to other lower body workouts, this will bore you terribly.

Moves are often slow to get the most out of them but to be honest, I don’t feel like body weight is being used to its full potential here. The short timespan doesn’t leave you feeling satisfied either. Like Drench, only now you focus more on balance postures and less speed between moves.

It’s a sweet yoga option, just disable the music soundtrack and supply your own. This is leg lifts, crunches, planks and twists. This one is a highly effective gut buster and a winner for the intermediate to advanced audience.
