At-Home PiYo Workout to Stretch, Sculpt, and Strengthen
At-Home PiYo Workout to Stretch, Sculpt, and Strengthen
From Shape Magazine, by Caitlin Carlson
Get the most out for your exercise bucks with a high-intensity, low-impact routine that combines Pilates, yoga, strength training, and cardio.
When you're overwhelmed, it's hard to fine time to squeeze in a workout session into your already overpacked scheduled—even though you know any amount of physical activity can help you deal with both of those things. And nothing beats yoga when it comes to squashing down anxiety or stress, and an intense cardio or strength training routines to torch fat and rev your metabolism, so how do you fit it all in? This genius PiYo routine, created by trainer Chalene Johnson combines all of those elements, and gets the job done fast. The moves are inspired by both yoga and Pilates, and you use your own body for resistance, so you’ll build lean, fat-fighting muscle while getting a deep stretch. Plus, the short rest periods and quick pace mean there’s also a cardio component—so while you lengthen and tone your entire body and calm your mind, you’ll rev your heart rate to burn fat and calories. So if you’re looking to maximize what little time you have to get sweaty, this workout is for you.
How it works: Starting with the first exercise, complete 10 reps, then immediately move on to the second move without resting in between. Continue this pattern until you've finished all 6 exercises.
Rest for one minute. Then, repeat the entire circuit two more times for a total of three rounds
