PiYO Week 2 has wrapped up and I am SHOCKED that I am still feeling sore. I guess its a good thing – and it means I’m working new muscles and continue to push myself but I honestly didn’t expect this – but I sure do love that feeling!!!
I am following the schedule in the book although I’ll admit I’ve considered adding some cardio in here and there just because its so different from what I had been used to. But…I am going to trust the program, the creators, and all those who put forth a lot time to make this amazing program available to us – all from the comfort of our own homes!
I started the week with the 3-Day refresh but was able to continue my daily PiYO workout!
Here’s what my meal plan looked like:
Week 2 of PiYO started off with the 3-day refresh and ended with the 4th of July weekend!
I do tend to eat similar items through the week to help save on grocery costs and reduce wastes!!!
A few months ago I really decided to commit to my health and fitness and with that went my “I’ll wake up when the kids wake up and workout later” attitude….to a “5:00am daily alarm” attitude. Its been an adjustment, but one I am thankful day in and day out that I made.
Its no secret my kids are far from “amazing sleepers” but when you’re as cute as they are, I guess it doesn’t really matter 😉
Colt decided he needed a few stretches and joined me for the last half of my workout. I was happy to have the company!
PIYO Week 2 Day 1
I had a few modifications but we got it DONE – and that’s what matters!
Tuesday was relaxing and I was able to complete it start to finish with no interruptions – victory for me!!!
I can really feel my flexibility improving along with my strength with every. single. tricep. pushup. Thanks again Chalene!
Ok – I know – this says week 3 day 3…but its really week 2 day 3…chalk that one up to the less technologically inclined 🙂 Man those side planks are killer!!!
PiYO Week 2 Day 3
Usually once a week, I trade in my home workouts for a hot yoga sweat session at a local studio, Yoga Flow. I love the flexibility of being able to workout at home when I want around MY schedule but there’s still something about doing yoga in 102 degrees and sweating your heart out! I love my Thursday morning yoga class and look forward to it weekly!!! I also love having someone else help me with my form and push me to try new things! I can already see several improvements in my strength since I started PiYO!!!
Friday – Rest Day – Thanks again Chalene!
Saturday was a tough one for me. We had gorgeous weather and were enjoying lots of family time outside. Thankfully the kids needed a rest which forced me inside and in turn allowed me to squeeze in the workout I postponed from the morning. Kind of made putting that swim suit on later a bit more enjoyable!
I workout for several reasons, one being the way I feel when its DONE – those post-workout endorphins are hard to beat. And this sweat session was no different! Thankful for pushing play!!
Week 2 wrapped up with a great CORE workout. This time I didn’t put it off. Although it was Sunday and my daughter’s 3rd birthday I still got up at 5:00am, pushed play, baked her cake and was showered before the rest of the house was up!
Two weeks are in the books – looking forward to the next two and hitting that halfway mark!!!
