Returning Piyo

[dnna]

I am so close to sending my set back. I just cannot get into these workouts. I am a big pilates exerciser- and where is the pilates? I really liked the flow of the short clips I watched but doing these workouts is so tedious to me. I keep trying and "joni-o" the disc. I keep trying at different times of the day to see if it is just fatigue or mood but I guess I just do not like the workouts.
I am going to try next week and see if I can get into it.

Mine is going back too. I emailed Mary about it on Thursday and have been going back and forth since then. I liked Drenched but i yanked a couple of the other discs from the player and could NOT get through the workouts. I would rather do something else.

For me, I do yoga almost every day and I am never going to do the yoga-inspired ones in my yoga time. I don't like my yoga to feel so choreographed. It's weird, I like Chalene a lot in these, there is just not enough variety for me. I did like the beast move but that is not unique (Cathe, Jillian, even Jessica Smith use that or a variation). The most exciting thing I saw was wild thing which they called something else. It seemed like they have a certain menu of moves that are served up again and again.

I was too busy this holiday weekend to get them to the post office and I feel a little guilty too for some reason. But my daughter has a dentist appt today and it is like 3 blocks from the p.o. so I guess today is the day. Now I will start seeing tons of reviews how everyone loooooves these. I will need to remember *I* didn't.

I am still on the fence about returning this set. I have only done a few of the workouts and so far not really loving it. It is just not as fun and inspiring as I thought it would be. I also feel like it is just yoga. I thought there would be more of a pilates feel. Anyway, I am going to try all of the workouts and then make a decision. I may just end up trading the set rather than returning.

There are Pilates rollups. Which is actually my least favorite ab exercise and one I now skip.

It's pretty much power yoga plus lunges, squats, and a little bit of simple cardio moves. I think I like them, but it will wait to do all of them before I decide about selling. They are good as addons, so after trying them all I'll probably save them until I can add them in to something else.

I'm so happy to see this thread! I'd held off on ordering bc I was going to wait and get it as a b-day present (in September). I tend to prefer similar workouts that most of you sending it back prefer. Now I can use the money for something else (because there's always something else on the list ).

I really think it also depends on what you already have in your collection. I don't hate the workouts but I already have stuff that fills my needs better. For someone else they might be just the thing.

I think the reason I don't like them as much is I am not big into yoga. I am more of a fusion person and these just don't feel like that. There really were not any moves that made me go, that was an interesting move. Although I find Michelle Dozois Body 360 workout much harder at least the music is better and the moves are more innovative.

I sold my set. Too many squats, lunges, and tricep push-ups for me (my least favorite exercises). Also the comments about getting legs like "speed skaters" Though I did like Chalene in these.

Well, mine is on it's way back to BB. I hope I don't have any problems getting a refund.

I sent mine back and hope I have no problems too. I bought the set thru Mary and she said she would keep an eye on it. Hope neither of us has a problem
