Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky...
Unfortunately I am going to have to press pause on my Piyo review series.
Disc one in my set skips and freezes. (Serious bummer!) I tweeted Beachbody customer service and they said I need to call about a replacement. Am I the only one that would so much rather send a quick tweet or email than call and sit on hold? Lol.
Anyway, I don't know how long it will take to get a replacement and I haven't been able to do the full calendar because of the defective disc, so I am going to have to postpone my Piyo review series.
Boo!
However, I will give you my first impression of the Piyo set...
Piyo First Impressions
I like the diet plan. It is easily tweaked Paleo and I don't feel like I'm starving. I could definitely see myself able to stick to it for the 8 weeks.
I LOVE the workouts. They're right up my alley right now. They're definitely yoga-esque, but nothing like the yoga I'm used to. I would describe it more as a body weight workout with a fair amount of focus on core, balance, and strength.
I'm sore after, but not feeling like I'm going to die. It's not crazy hardcore, but not a cinch either. It's perfect for me at this stage! Love the focus on my core, and of course love Chalene as instructor.
If you have issues with doing high impact workouts or just need a break from the same old, same old you've been doing, you will love this.
Like I said, I'm pressing pause on the Hype or Help review of this and with my editorial calendar, I'm not sure when I can fit it back in (sadface), but hopefully before summer.
Have you ever tried Piyo?
