Transformation Tuesday: Former Athlete and New Mom Gets Sculpted with PiYo
Katie H. is a busy mom of two who recaptured her athleticism and sculpted her lean and strong body with PiYo! Hear what she has to say about this amazing workout from Chalene Johnson below:
I am a 35 year old stay-at-home-mom of 2 great kids and a part time fitness instructor. I was a competitive swimmer growing up and I have always loved exercise. After the birth of my daughter in 2008, I packed on some pounds and was ready to get back in shape. I lost the remaining baby weight but I wanted more. In 2010 I went to my first PiYo class and fell in love! Since then I really have transformed my body and the way I look at exercise. I love that I get a total body workout without having to use any equipment. It is amazing what a great workout I can get using only my body weight. I also love that I can make anything high or low impact throughout. When I leave class I feel incredibly strong and ready to tackle the day. That is such a great feeling! The moves flow so well and are still challenging to me, even after three years of doing it.
This is the best part! After about 3 months of consistent Piyo, I really started to notice a difference in my upper body and core. There was much more muscle definition and toning. Not only was it noticeable to me but all of my friends and family too. My clothes started to fit better (most of them became too big), and I look better now than I ever have… and that is after the birth of my two kids. I like how I am lean and muscular. My legs are significantly stronger too, now that I do the entire workout high impact. I don’t think most women want to look “bulky” and Piyo is such a wonderful tool to lean out. I hope to continue on this great path of health and I am just so happy to have found PiYo. It is such a great workout!
