I previewed Drench last night and did the workout this morning. I wanted to compare this workout with the Buti workouts that I do at the end of my workouts, so I did Drench after my other workouts. I found it tougher than Buti, and I burned more calories than I do with a Buti workout. I was sweating buckets, and my legs were actually shaking. This never happens with Buti.
As far as comparing Piyo to any other workout that I own, I would say that it is more similar to Les Mills' Body Flow, but much tougher. It isn't anything like Buti, which I actually like. Piyo will definitely compelement my Buti workouts nicely. I get the benefits of a yoga workout without actually doing a pure yoga workout, and I get the sweat factor which is what I am aiming for. Piyo is also more focused. Each segment has a focus for a certain length of time. One thing that drives me crazy about Buti is that there is no real focus in the workouts. Both sides are often not worked equally, and most of the time it looks like they are winging. Then out of no where she'll throw in a yoga pose that is super hard, do it once, and move on. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoy my Buti workouts, but there definitely are negatives. As I mentioned before, Chalene mirror cues, her form pointers are excellent, her form is excellent, and there is a modifier. Brian Howe does the music, so anyone who has been around long enough knows he has quite a good reputation for putting out really good music. This is the only workout that I've done and previewed. I'm hoping that the rest are just as great! Big thumbs up from me.
