Learned something new and want to share it with you...

Stepping outside your comfort zone and learning something new isn't easy but it's important to find your talents and passion!  Last year I took a leap of faith and decided to become a group fitness instructor.  It was scary walking into a room of 900+ people and learning how to do the moves and talk about them throughout the course of the day.  However, in the end I realized it was something I knew I could do and would REALLY enjoy doing!!

The certification class didn't teach me everything.  It was a good foundation, but then I had to watch videos and practice and then do classes with friends before I was ready to officially start teaching.  It's been 10 months now and I continue to get more and more comfortable each time I lead a class. 

Of course, getting more comfortable with the first class meant it was time to add another class format to my knowledge base. I decided on PiYo because I loved the home workouts and the fact that anyone can do it with no equipment.  I actually still thought PiYo was a combination of Pilates and Yoga, even though I had done the workout DVDs and via Beachbody on
Demand.  Then thing is I'm not an expert on Pilates or Yoga so I really knew NO difference :)  But now I know, that PiYo is it's own workout program....it's unique and I LOVE it and can't wait to share it with you so you can love it too.....here are more details about it....

PiYo is REALLY a strength and flexibility workout.  It is tough...especially LIVE!! PiYo is a low impact, high intensity program. 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.You get your strength, your cardio, and your flexibility training all in one program.

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 throughout the workout. 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.

There’s no complicated choreography to learn. And, you can follow the modified moves as you build your strength and stamina. 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.

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.

I am a PiYo Certified Instructor and I can't wait to share this workout with others and lead you through a class!! What day and time would you recommend I add a class to the UK Health and Wellness weekly class workout schedule?  Would you attend class with me if I offered them outside or at my church? 

Let me know your thoughts about when and where to host classes and I'll try to get added to the schedule!!

Does this sound like fun but you don't live nearby or your schedule wouldn't allow for a lunch time workout?    You can do PiYo through your phone, tablet, computer or even a TV device like an Apple TV or Roku.  I can get you setup with the home workouts or help you find a group fitness program in the are that might work with your schedule.  Email me for more info!!
