I just discovered this video. What I absolutely LOVE about it, even before trying it is that you are so very real! There’s none of the over-the-top yelling “Come on!!!!!! I know you’re doing it!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!” which drives me nuts. You talk naturally, and that, to me is so very encouraging. Thank you. So much!
I have been meaning to comment on this for a while. I have been watching this one video every day for nearly 2 months. I am a size 14-16. I found this video super helpful while getting back into fitness and really embracing loving my body. The results from putting this video into practice have been very visible. I have toned up my sides and really exposing the amazing hourglass shape that I have. I have found so much more confidence in wearing sleeveless tops. My back folds have become less noticeable and my arms have appeared to tone up. I have not recorded any weight loss but I am very pleased with the toning results. I do love the affirmation statement in this video - "I love my strong legs". I end up adding my own through out the video depending on the part of the body you are giving me direction to work. I wish at the end during the stretches you gave a bit more space for me to have my own gratitude statement. I do say my own when I complete the work out. I appreciate this work out and the modifications that you provide and I have in the nearly 2 months changed my modifications as my abilities increase. I am a person of habit and so sadly have not looked at the rest of your videos as I have enjoyed this one and have even memorized every word... oh its threatening to rain... Funny enough I don't watch the video in length because I get involved in the work out and listen to your words guiding me and look up if I have posture questions so I am still after 2 months don't know when Snickers actually walks away. At the end when I am closing the screen I think... oh where is Snickers now? Anyways... long winded but I am grateful for this video and the help you have given me.
Stacy, I am so sorry that I am just seeing this message. I don't know how I missed it. I feel so honored that you have chosen one of my videos to improve your confidence as you get back into shape. Your review was beautiful and I appreciate every word. My goal is to help women fall in love with the process of moving their bodies and how it is such a beautiful form of self care!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you for your sweet words! You just made my day!
I saw the on TH-cam....this cannot be for a beginner who has not worked out in sometime. I was looking for the modified version. Unsure if you were rushing to beat the rain. I did as much as I could for my first very first time. Thanks for trying to help!!!
Hi Alecia!! Thank you for taking the time to comment. This is not a beginner workout, but I do give easier/lower impact options throughout my workouts. It’s good that you did what you could. Keep at it. You will get stronger every time you do it.
Thank you Ruth! I've been doing this workout, about 5 times a week, since January. (It's June now.) I like how it works everything. Moving fairly quickly from legs, to arms, to abs makes it go quickly without it being drudgery. The length is good too. I like to go for long walks, but at 50, I wanted something extra to maintain overall muscle tone. I will look for your other workouts, but I'm happy with this one. :)
OK, day 1! Whew! Made it through.. well most of it anyway. I am 65 years old, and retired, overweight, and very out of shape. Thank you for the motivation, and the easy to follow routine!
Love your videos I’ve been working out with you 2 to 3 times a week and am feeling stronger. The planks are getting easier as well as walking up hills. Thank you!
Thank you so much Shanna!! I appreciate your sweet words. Do you like Piyo workouts the best? I upload new ones each week. so be sure to check them out. :)
Sooo I was only able to make it half-way thru the workout, but plan to keep trying to make it until the end. I'm a beginner & this is the workout I chose to do for the first time since my teenage years. Onward!
Hi Ruth, I would like to sincerely thank you uploading this vid! I have been looking for an exercise as perfect as this one (but not slow as yoga does). Ive seen this advertised on TV but Im not ready to “buy” to get access of those either. A bunch of thanks!
Ariyanna Griffin thank you so much for taking the time for leaving a review. I sooooooo appreciate it. And yes, it’s such a good feeling when you are sore afterwards. You know you did something good for your body. 💗 Hugs! Ruth 😃
Middle-aged momma here. Just did your workout here for the first time. I’m sweating!! Feels good. Especially during this quarantine. Been extra stressful. So right now finally able to practice some “Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Will keep doing this with a goal to improve how much of I can do. Thanks for this and I’ll check out more of yours! Now off to give the doggo a bath and take him for a walk before my “me time” over. Shoot. Supposed to dye my hair too. Maybe tomorrow......😆
ACG P thank you so much for entrusting me to help you on your fitness journey. I sooooo appreciate your feedback! Do keep track of your progress. It is empowering when you see yourself getting stronger! Hugs! Ruth 💗
Ruth Ungerer Health Coach Thanks so much for your reply!! I’m still sticking with this. Feels good even tho can’t do all the exercises full out. I’m planning stay consistent and with that as my goal. Have a great day! Extra challenging with all the latest news. Taking a little time out for ourselves can help us better deal with all the challenges lately. 💞 -Cindy
Layla Van Fossen hey Layla, I hope you enjoyed the workout! Thank you so much for joining me. My hope is that you feel more confident in who you are and realize how important it is to make fitness a priority.
Love this workout! I'm new to PIYO and I had a lot of fun with your routine. Thank you. Also, Since I am new to PIYO can someone tell me what muscles the "hip twist" is working?
Stephanie Thompson hey Stephanie!! Thanks so much for your sweet comments. The hop twist works your entire core which is necessary for functional fitness. You will especially feel this in your obliques. ❤️
Hello, I have osteoarthritis, bone spurs in both heels and I get terrible leg cramps. I am 53 with a lot of body pain everyday. Will this workout help me and is it safe for me to do without injury? I am very stiff. I also had back surgery two years ago (I feel terrible).
This is great. Great to add as an addition to your routine. We also add Misty Tripoli Body Groove. It's fun!! Canceled my Beachbody on Demand. I loved it, but found other things that interested me on TH-cam.
Great workout, thank you so much !! I have a question thou. I've been diagnosed with arthritis, might you have any stretching ect excersizes for the wrists ?? Thanks
Christine Saldana thank you for taking the time to comment Christine. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 😃 Piyo is so good for building lean Muscle in your whole body.
Sera B it can absolutely include more jumping if you want it to be cardio and resistance. Personally, I love adding some cardio based movement to my Piyo workouts.
Piyo can be low impact, but it can also have some cardio tossed in for those that want to kick it up a notch. :) Do you require modifications? If so, just do the low impact variations. :)
@@lenspaulding, really!! You have to be an ugly hearted person to say that to anyone. Who raised you anyhow? Do you think they would be proud much!! Shame on you!!

Amy Diaz Hey Amy, it depends on a few factors. Age, current weight, diet, and activity will all play a part. Diet/nutrition is going to your biggest asset when shedding weight. I personally like a carb Cycling approach to help with weight loss.

Is this good for everyday workout ?
Renee you can do this several times a week.
Always alternate your workouts to avoid repeated stressing of the same muscle group. At least that's what I do.
you'll get far better results if you smoke some reefer before the workout.
Denise Aarons yes, I like a good mix of Tabata, traditional Bootcamp, Piyo and swimming. 😃
