Piyo Meal Plan and Prep! Piyo is FINALLY here!


Exclusive Piyo Test Group

Piyo is here
Piyo is officially here!
Yep, it's official I have started my Piyo journey!! I am extremely excited to share with you my weekly progress and meal plans. I am going all in with this program, giving it 100%, and not missing one workout along the way. I always go for the high intensity type workouts. I even ran my first half marathon last year and plan to do a full marathon in December. This is going to be great to offer my body some flexibility and give it a little care before going through intense training.

Piyo, Day One
Piyo is here - Day 1 
My main goal for Piyo is to tone up, increase my flexibility, and build a strong core. I still have about 10 pounds that I would love to loose but I never focus on the scale but instead in how I feel and how my clothes fit. Seriously, throw that scale out!! 



So here is what Week 1 Looks like: 


Piyo Define, Upper Body
My Booty is sore .. but Excuses don't burn Calories! 

Day 1: Align The Fundamentals. This is 40 minutes long but really breaks down every move so that you can learn the correct form to get the best results from this program. 

Day 2: Define - Lower Body. 25 minute workout that gives full focus on the lower half of your body. YOUR BUM!! HEE HEE! 
Define Piyo Lower Body
Rocking it out

Day 3: Define - Upper Body. 35 minute workout that focuses on the entire upper part of your body, triceps, biceps, and shoulders. 


Day 4: Sweat 35 minutes of fast paced cardio, yoga flow, and body weight resistance training to help sculpt your whole body. 

Day 5: REST

Day 6: Define Lower Body

Day 7: Define Upper Body

Weel 1 is COMPLETE! I got my workouts mixed up a little bit in there but I adjusted! :) 

I am using my 21 day fix containers to portion out my food and am using the Piyo meal plan. 


The first thing I did when I got the program was opened the nutrition guide and in there it has a spot where you can calculate the calories you need daily. Mine came out to 1,135! If it's lower than 1200 you just round up. It's unhealthy to eat less than that a day. So since I wouldn't mind loosing a few pounds, according to the book I will consume 1200 calories a day. I am following the Piyo get lean plan which sets a plan up to gives you the energy you need to POWER through those workouts. 

Don't try and mess with the meal plan. It truly does have your best health needs in mind. If you eat less than the calories it states you should have for too many days you can hurt your body and metabolism. Instead of doing good you will actually be hurting yourself in the long run. Plus, it's not something you can maintain. 

Don't get stressed out about sticking with the exact numbers in the book. As long as you are staying with in 200 - 300 calories in your range you will be good. 


Here is my target range for my eating plan according to the nutrition plan: 

4 servings of primary vegetables 
2 servings of secondary vegetables and grains
2 servings of fresh fruit
4 servings of lean protein
3 servings of healthy fat

What is PIYO?

I can tell you one thing I absolutely ADORE Chalene Johnson. She is the reason that I lost 35 pounds in just 90 days with her TurboFire workout. TurboFire is all about high intensity, kickboxing, dancing, and HITT training. I totally didn't even feel like I was working out with this program. It felt like a dance party in my living room. 

If you follow Team Beachbody or Chalene Johnson you know that anything she provides you with is OFF THE HOOK! It's always simply amazing and will offer amazing results. 

I've never been really big into Pilates and Yoga type workouts but I knew that if Chalene said it would offer results then it was MONEY! I trust this lady and I know that it's going to do so much for my body in flexibility and strength.

This program is an awesome combination of high intensity, low impact moves to improve your flexibility, stamina, and strength. It is Yoga and Pilates inspired but it pulls it all together to give you a cardio workout as well. 

The key is that it gives you results such as defined muscles, abs, core strength without the weights, the pounding of your joints and jumping around.  It's the perfect workout for those with mobility, joint and limitations due to injury or past experiences.

Why is PiYO going to be an amazing program that you MUST have?

I am asked often about Beachbody having a low impact workout program that can be done from home and BOOM this is it. Beachbody is all about ASKING and you shall RECEIVE! This is going to be a GAME CHANGING PROGRAM for so many that have injuries or are just Yoga lovers that want the option to do it from home.
