Sorry for being MIA the last week. After I finished my 3-Day Refresh, I was in a little bit of a fog fighting what I am guessing was some remnants of my detox and also just very much looking forward to some much needed time off. I got a little behind with my PiYo workouts, but I doubled up a couple of days and am still on schedule. I finished week 4 and am now on the other side of the hill. I do plan to continue with the advanced schedule once I finish this so there will be another 8 weeks added on to my PiYo journey.
Last week I was introduced to 2 new workouts, Hardcore on the Floor and Drench. Both of which did not disappoint. Hardcore on the Floor was similar to Core, but you never left the floor, hence the name. There were plank exercises working your glutes as well, the typical various crunches and a superman sequence that ended with my new favorite move, the sea turtle. The workout lasts about half an hour and it is definitely another favorite. Drench, on the other hand, is the first workout that left me feeling sore ever since the first week. I could tell my booty was burning all day and yesterday I definitely felt it when I sat down. It is similar to Sweat, but definitely more intense. Honestly, everything was sort of a blur in that workout so until I give it another go, nothing really stands out except this is the workout that you finally do the famous PiYo Flip move. I hope to get a great picture of myself doing this next week on the beach in California. Be prepared to work that booty!

| The PiYo Flip |
Today, week 5 started off with another new workout called Sculpt. I think we've learned by now that Chalene is expecting us to be working it 100% every time with these workouts. This is another workout that I will need to do a few times before feeling like I've found my groove, but just as I was thinking to myself I need to do more upper body, she shows up with all kinds of push ups. You work the entire body, arms, core, legs and butt for sure. I had never had to stop in the middle of the squat/lunge sequences as much as I had to with this one. It is a burner for sure!
I just wanted to say that I am still very much in love with this program. Other programs I grew bored of right around this point in the journey, but I find myself missing PiYo on days that I don't do it. I look forward to continuing to see my progress. I know I am getting stronger and more flexible. I know my body doesn't hurt as much as it did with other high impact workouts. I know that I am seeing better results than I ever have. There really is something to be said about finding your soulmate workout.
