Keto Desserts to Lose Weight
A Way To Accelerate your Weight Loss On The PiYO Workout
This goes great with trying to lose weight with any of the beachbody.com programs. I love this cookbook and it's super easy to make desserts I can love but yet lose weight and they are seriously low in sugar and carbs. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies. :_)
Here is a PiYo workout schedule that you can follow
Monday
Alignment - this 46 minute workout provides you with fundamental techniques that help you familiarize yourself with the tools to take full advantage of the program.
Tuesday
Upper Body Definition - this 20 minute program targets arms, triceps, shoulders and chest. You will sculpt, shape, and carve definition in your upper portion.
Wednesday
Lower Body Definition - this 25 minute workout you will work your calves, hamstrings and glutes to help lengthen and strengthen your lower portion of your body.
Thursday
Sweat - this section has fast tempo ab workouts that combine cardio yoga and body weight resistance for getting the most sweat from your body. This section lasts for 35 minutes.
Friday
Core - this exercises all areas of the middle of your body from obliques to your back. You will create a strong core that is flat and sculpted that will also help improve balance and strength throughout the body. This section lasts for 30 minutes.
Saturday
Drench - this 40 minute workout will help you induce sweat and endurance by involving every muscle in your body. It will be able to reduce fat deposits while increasing your metabolic rate.
Take Sunday off for to let your body rest. There are two more sessions to include in your PiYo workout schedule. You can continue these on the next Monday and Tuesday as follows:
- Monday - Strength intervals that last for up to 25 minutes. Strength is designed to tone your muscles while burning calories in a short period of time.
- Tuesday - Sculpting that lasts for up to 30 minutes. This places pressure on your muscles to sculpt and chisel to make your muscles more defined and a longer leaner appearance.
Ultimately, you will spend no less than 20 minutes and no more than 45 minutes a day in exercising. Changing up the workout sessions with the amount of time spent by following the PiYo workout schedule will help prevent leading your body to a plateau where you have a harder time losing weight.
Below you will see month 1 and 2 of the basic and strength plan. You can copy these into excel or word if you want and print them out.
