What is PiYo?
PiYo is a low-impact, high intensity body-transformation program. It uses the most effective Pilates- and yoga-inspired moves set to a fast pace to help you burn fat while you sculpt long, lean muscles.
You'll carve every inch of your body without jumps, without weights, and without straining your joints. And rest assured, there's no complex choreography to learn. Chalene Johnson takes you step-by-step through the moves where you'll use your body weight to lose weight and get intensely defined! You get your strength, your cardio, and your flexibility training all in one program.
Why is PiYo effective?
PiYo delivers the muscle-sculpting, core-focused benefits of Pilates along with the flexibility and power of yoga. PiYp's low-impact compound exercises engage multiple muscle groups at the same time - while keeping your body in constant motion. As you progress from one fluid movement to the next without rest, you'll maintain an optimal heart rate to incinerate calories throughout the whole workout!The result? You get a low-impact, high-intensity, total-body workout, giving you a physique that's long, lean, and powerfully defined.
Who is PiYo For?
- Women and men who want to lose weight - PiYo's high-intensity compound exercises engage multiple muscles at once, while keeping them in constant motion so your heart rate remains in the optimal range to burn calories through the workout.
- People who want to build lean muscle without bulk - You'll use your body weight as your primary source of resistance - loading multiple muscle groups at once to perform functional, everyday movements. This will help you sculpt long, lean muscles without building bulk.
- Fitness Beginners - There's no complicated choreography to learn. And, you can follow the modified moves as you build your strength and stamina.
- Extreme Fitness Enthusiasts - PiYo's pace of continuous movement, nonstop transitions, and carefully selected, powerful athletic moves allow you to burn calories at a high rate. So, if you like extreme programs, you can get the same type of results from PiYo while you give your joints a break. Plus, you can restore your flexibility and core strength, which can improve performance in other sports.
- People who like the benefits of Pilates and yoga, but feel these programs lack the cardio they need to burn calories and fat - PiYo helps you develop the muscle endurance and core strength from Pilates and the power, flexibility, and balance of yoga with flowing movements using your body weight. And because PiYo speeds everything up with constant motion and nonstop flows, you'll get your cardio and burn calories at a much higher rate.
- People who want to get the results of an extreme program without jumps, weights, or straining their joints - PiYo will help you get your body ultra-lean and intensely defined. And, it's actually restorative to your body. You won't have to lift heavy weights or perform jumps that are tough on your joints. Instead, while you burn calories and sculpt lean muscle, you'll also enhance your flexibility, core strength, and ability to perform everyday, functional movements.
- People who want a workout that doesn't require a lot of equipment - No equipment is required but a yoga mat is recommended.
How is PiYo DIFFERENT From Traditional Pilates and Yoga?
Traditional Pilates or yoga programs don't provide the fast weight loss PiYo provides with its dynamic flowing sequences that burn calories and elevate your metabolic rate to burn more fat. So people who do traditional Pilates and yoga have to spend extra time - and extra money - to supplement their routine with extra cardio to burn calories and fat. But with PiYo there's no need, because PiYo puts it all together so you can sculpt your body, scorch calories, and improve your flexibility - all at the same time! It's your one-stop shop to a full-body transformation.

PiYo gives you the best of both worlds and more. Now, with the PiYo home fitness program, she's making this popular class available to you at home!
What Will I Eat?
PiYo follows what is called the GET LEAN EATING PLAN. Like all Beachbody meal plans, it follows clean eating. Mathematically speaking, it follows a 40% carbs, 35% protein, 25% fat lifestyle. Unlike programs like the 21 Day Fix, the PiYo diet counts calories.
The first step is calculating how many calories YOU need:
Then, you'll match your number with the correct meal plan:
You may be thinking: what in the world is a primary vegetable? This is just a term that the plan uses to classify its food groups to give a general calorie calculation. For example, it estimates that one serving of a primary vegetable equals 45 calories.
I also provide some excel sheets to my challengers, specifically tailored to PiYo, that you can use to track your food, if you don't like using apps like MyFitnessPal.
And just to give you an idea of what the PiYo diet looks like, here's a sample day in the life meal plan for someone on Plan B:
Breakfast: Egg Fritatta, Sliced Strawberries (1 Lean Protein, 1 Fresh Fruit)
Snack: Hard Boiled Egg , Celery with PB (1 Lean Protein, 1 Primary Vegetables, 1 Healthy Fat)
Lunch: Chicken Stir Fry (1 Lean Protein, 1 Primary Vegetable, 1 Secondary Vegetable & Grains, 1 Healthy Fat)
Snack: Salad (2 Primary Vegetable, 2 Healthy Fat)
Dinner: Lemon Roasted Salmon, Brown Rice, Steamed Veggies (1 Lean Protein, 1 Secondary Vegetables & Grains, 1 Primary Vegetable)
Snack: Shakeology, 1/2 Sliced Banana(1 Lean Protein, 1 Fresh Fruit)
