Be The First To Get The New Program PIYO!

You may have heard about this new program called PiYo. This is Chalene Johnson's (Creator of Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire & Chalean Extreme) newest program that will be released today!!! When I first heard about this new workout, I though the name sounded a little funny, until I broke it down.....

 Pi (Pilates) + Yo (Yoga) = PiYo....then it made sense to me!  This program will use YOUR body to make your body stronger! I have always loved cardio but recently have been mixing it up by adding weight lifting into my routine. I love it! I feel stronger by the day. So, I'm super pumped that this program is going to increase my flexibility. When I was younger I was super flexible (weren't we all) but that has decreased with age, so I cannot wait to see where this takes me (and hopefully you)!

 

 

 

So what is PiYo???

 

 PiYo focuses on building strength, endurance and flexibility by mixing yoga and pilates together. The whole program is low-impact and requires nothing but YOU! No weights or bands, it uses your own body weight to sculpt you into something amazing! No jumping, just burning tons of calories! If you have ever done pilates or yoga before, be prepared that you WILL sweat and you will see results!

 

 

Who is this workout program good for??

 

If you are aiming to increase you flexibility and strength this program will be perfect! There is a modifier on screen to follow at all times, so your current fitness level does not matter. Anyone can start with this! Which is great because I am not the greatest at either pilates or yoga! I will be starting a Beta Test Group for PiYo on July 7th. We will work day by day together, encourage one another and hold each other accountable. If this sounds like something you would be interested in learning more about.. shoot me a message or find me on Facebook!

Week 3 Brazil Butt Lift Progress Update

This month is flying by!  I can feel the weather getting warmer each day which makes me super excited for summer!! I pretty much have a routine now, and I look forward to getting up each day and getting my workout in. This is what this weeks schedule looks like:

The Workouts

Sunday-Rest

Monday-Sculpt

Tuesday-Cardio Axe & Bum Bum

Wednesday-Sculpt

Thursday-Cardio Axe & Bum Bum

Friday-Sculpt

Saturday-Hight and Tight & Tummy Tuck

First thing I do when I wake up is drink my shakeology (usually my fav...Choc shake with 1/2 a banana and 1 tbs PB with skim milk).  Then I clean up the house a bit while sipping on my E&E (which is an all natural energy booster).

 Honestly, this has been so helpful!! Since working night shift, I find that when I have my shake then E&E I am full of energy within the next 30-60 mins! We all know I need all the energy I can get to keep up with my little man!!!(YES! that is Shakeology in his bottle! He will steal it from my glass if I don't give him his own lol)

Physical changes I have seen  in the last 17 days: My belly feels and looks smaller, I can feel myself getting stronger with each workout, I now fit into scrubs TWO sizes smaller for work!!!

One of the greatest feelings is when people notice all your hard work and effort. I cant tell you how wonderful it feels to hear people say "wow, you can really tell you have lost weight". Hard work does pay off!!!! 

In the last 17 days I have lost 10.3 lbs and feel amazing. I can finally see a difference when I look in the mirror and put on my clothes. My confidence is increasing and I am so thankful I stuck with it!

I attribute my success in larger part to the challenge groups that I belong to on Facebook. Honestly, they keep me motivated, excited, accountable and when I'm having a rough day, I know there are other people one click away to get me through. We share pictures of us after we workout for accountability, celebrate each others successes (every single one! even the simple things like "My pants feel less tight today"), share recipes & most importantly of all... we make each other stronger. We are a team, we care about one another and whether we succeed or fall short, we will be right there together. 

There is something so special about our challenge groups that I almost cant put it into words. Its PRICELESS when you get back your confidence, self-esteem and become stronger inside & out, you are becoming a BETTER you! 

My next Challenge group starts on February 3rd. I would love nothing more than for you to join us!! What are you waiting for?? The time is now, and I promise we will work side by side and reach your goals. We will walk through the storms and come out the other side stronger!! Email me at savko.christine@gmail.com  to see how to become involved with our groups!  I would love to talk with you!!!

Week 1 of Brazil Butt Lift

 I made it through the first week, YAY!! I finished the first 7 days this past Monday. After the first couple days I was very sore but I did not give up. I have been reading a lot of personal development books and listening to audio recording and I heard something last week that struck a cord with me. Someone simply said,

 "I don't start counting reps until it begins to burn, that's when it truly makes a difference"

Now, I'm sure I may have heard something like this before but for some reason this time was different. It finally all made sense. If you want to make a real change in yourself then you need to learn to not give up at the most critical point. That would just be the easy way out. So I didn't give up when I felt I had hit my breaking point! I often think of that saying when I feel like giving up and it gets me through.

I am thrilled with my week one results! The yellow resistance band the workout comes with is no joke! You use it wrapped around your feet and do different lunges & moves and then you use it wrapped around your thighs for the leg work on the floor. I could feel the burn after only a few reps, but its a great feeling that I am learning to love!

I also enjoyed the addition of using weights. This is the FIRST time I have every used weights! I can literally feel my muscles becoming stronger. Simple things like walking up the stairs or running after my son are becoming easier and its so exciting! Its incredible to do simple daily tasks and stop to myself and think "That's a little easier than I remember it being last time".

I have stuck with my clean eating meal plan and replaced shakeology with lunch everyday. My system is totally cleaned out, I can see my skin slowly clearing up, and I feel rested more than I ever have before. Its one of the most wonderful feelings to NOT be tired and instead run around with my son and still have energy when we are done playing. I feel on top of the world when I spend quality time with him!!! (Yes! that is shakeology he is drinking! He loves it!)

I lost a total of 8.6 pounds in the first seven days and CANNOT wait to see what else is to come!!
I'd love to have you join me in this journey! email me for more information or with any questions! I would love to hear from you!!!!
I cant wait to share my 14 day result pictures with you next Monday!!!

Brazil Butt Lift

So I decided that I needed something new & exciting to do this holiday season. I want to try and focus on something healthy and good for me rather than all the baked goods and holiday treats. I don't want to slack off and gain a bunch of weight over the holidays, just to have to lose it again in the new year. All that work put in and in just a few weeks it can all be destroyed. Seriously, how many of us go to multiple Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners??? It can be easy to get off track, but we gotta stay strong this season!!!

It always exciting to start a new Beachbody program....so I went searching for one and found this!!!

 My midsection has always been a "problem area" for me. Especially after having my first baby last year.....I swear my hips have widened so much!!! This program is designed to slim your thighs, reduce your hip size & saddlebag area all without bulking up your thighs too much! One of the things that I am looking forward to is that this program has music in it! I love music while working out....it makes the time go faster! Plus, its fun!!

So what comes with the program????
-6 workouts on 3 dvds
-Booty makeover guide
-Booty makeover calender
-Bootylicious Fat-burning food guide
-Triangular training workout cards
-Measurement tracker and tape measure

Plus....
-6 day supermodel slim-down plan
