PiYo Sculpt
Reviews from VideoFitness
I've found that the time breakdowns for all of the Piyo workouts online are incorrect. Here's the breakdown for Strength Intervals, which alternates between unweighted strength work and brief cardio intervals:
23m
Warm-Up, 4m
Legs, 6.5m
Squats & Sumos, 5.5m
Tricpes Biceps & Chest, 3.5m
Cool-Down, 2m
This is one of my favorite routines in the Piyo set, as I like going between the strength work and the very basic cardio, like jogs and skiers. I'm not fond of the last segment prior to the cool-down, which includes jumping from down dog into a move she calls "Beast," which has you on all fours with the knees lifted; this does not feel good on my shoulders. But I love that this is a short routine which I can use as an add-on.
Chalene is not my favorite instructor. I find her tolerable in these workouts, although I don't like her tendency to say "thank you!" when she asks you to do something, like go lower. There is a modifier in all the Piyo routines, Michelle. She generally does a good job, although she looks more like she is holding back versus modifying.
