PIYO ~ My Soulmate Workout!

PIYO was my first program when I started on this journey to get healthy.  I was SO NERVOUS! I saw an infomercial and thought it looked really cool, but I'll be the first one to say ~ I am not a fan of yoga. I don't like the holding of positions while I'm dripping with sweat, and quite frankly, I sucked at it. I'm thinking "I'm overweight, I'm not flexible and I'll look foolish, etc, etc, etc...". I have since curbed my negative self talk, but if I'm to be honest, this is what was going through my head at this time.

I started researching PIYO because there were so many amazing transformation stories on Instagram and Facebook. I liked that it was low impact and who doesn't love Chalene Johnson! I listened to an interview with her on some show and she said she was also not a fan of yoga and explained that PIYO is NOT like a traditional yoga classes. The moves were similar, but you are constantly moving...I WAS SOLD!

I was ready...really ready...for the first time in a long time to make a change. Here is one of my favorite quotes and one that resonated with me, especially at the beginning of this journey...

I knew I'd be uncomfortable. I knew I'd feel awkward (and look awkward). I also knew that I needed to feel all of those things if I really wanted to make changes and see results.
