PiYo - Week 2 RECAP

Finished PiYo Week 2, and I am SHOCKED that I am still feeling sore. It's a good thing, because it means I’m working new muscles and continue to push myself, but I didn’t expect this! BUT I sure do love that feeling because it means I'm getting great workouts!!!

While I follow the workout schedule in the program booklet, I’ve adding running two to three days a week, because I help coach my sons cross country team. But it's only about 5-6 miles each week tops, because I 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!

On Sunday, I created my meal plan for week two, grocery shopped, and food prepped, so I would be successful for week two.

Here’s what my meal plan for the week looked like:

I tend to eat similar items through the week to help save on grocery costs and reduce waste, and to make meal prep easier for breakfasts and lunches.

I've been successfully working out all week either in my office during lunch, streaming the PiYo workout of the day on Beachbody On Demand, or doing it right when I get home from work. I'd really like to start back with early morning workouts.  That's going to be a challenge for me, since I'm a night owl.

Week 2 of PiYO I started off refreshed and from a relaxing weekend.


Monday - SWEAT
I had a few modifications, but I got it DONE – and that’s what matters! The space in my office where I can workout, just behind my desk is tiny! Maybe about 7'x7'.  But that's all I need for this workout! AND, because I don't need any equipment, other than my yoga mat, it's simple and easy to do in a tiny space, away from home or a gym! I had to coach cross-country tonight, but we ran about a 3K, or about a mile and a half.

Tuesday - Define: Lower Body felt good to stretch my legs after Monday.






Wednesday - CORE I can really feel the
exercises in my core, now that I've done this workout before. I'm moving better, and able to feel my core working. Those side planks and PiYo pikes are killer!!

Thursday - Define: Upper Body I LOVE this workout!!  I can feel my flexibility improving along with my strength with every. single. tricep. pushup. AND the whole workout is only 20 minutes long! We all have 20 minutes!! This was perfect, because I helped coach the cross-country team again, and ran another 3K. Below I included a short video with some of the exercises.


 

 
Friday – Rest Day! Okay, maybe this is my favorite!! Haha!!

Saturday - SWEAT This is still a TOUGH workout!! The name says it all! But I had fun, because
my son kept me company!! He was impressed that his mom could do these tough moves!

SUNDAY - CORE 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, and feeling it in my core!


Two weeks are in the books – looking forward to the next two and hitting that halfway mark!!!
