I've always worked out but never been much of a yoga student. It was always difficult for me to do the exercises and I found my mind wondering during classes. However, I know it's important to overall wellness, mind-body connection and to improve flexibility. In 2014 I found PiYo and now incorporate the workout into my fitness program. It's an athletic, pilates, yoga type of workout. Most workouts are 30-minutes or less which is perfect for me!
Below is a small sample and beginner move. Add this into your routine ... when you awake in the morning, during work or in the evening before bed. It will improve your flexibility, help you relieve stress and feel better overall! Complete 3-5 series.
I've had success with the 21 Day Fix and often share my personal story but I love seeing other mom's and busy women have success too!
Kristy had always been fit, but after having a child she found it tough to include exercise back into her routine, as a lot of moms do! But she decided to get back in the fitness game starting with with the 21 Day Fix and was hooked! She has now completed 3 rounds and lost 8 lbs, and 12 inches. Way to go Kristy!
"I didn't just lose weight. I lost inches and became more toned. I have learned I am a much happier person when I work out. I also feel healthier and am proud that I now cook healthy meals for my family." - Kristy B, 39
