Cize Review

John Paul Parrot in his Cize review says that in order to do Cize one has to be seriously committed. He says that it goes way beyond Hip Hop Abs or Rockin’ body. The cardio component is off the charts as moving to dance steps makes you try harder to keep up and makes every workout result in a flop-sweat. According to him, the workout is generally aimed at women and men below 35 yrs. Being 44, the Cize workout was a significant challenge to break out of his shell and go Flashdance. He believes that it is an advanced workout that develops inhuman levels of co-ordination and should not be mistaken for Mom’s waltz instructional VHS tape.

Though it is an amazing product, John doubts it will last beyond 5 years before revising it to match current trends. In his opinion there is nothing that quite matches a Cize workout. Since it requires concentration in solitude, it is not for those without a private place and kids are running about. He would not recommend it to someone who just loves to dance as the workout has the benefits of insanity with the bonus of learning a new skill.

PiYo Review

Gina Harney in her PiYo review says that she really loves the workout as it always keeps her moving. Since she is not very comfortable staying still as is the case in yoga practice, PiYo seems like a good choice. Moreover it is a fun way to change her routine since her teaching schedule is quite minimal. As the PiYo workout is based on body-weight, it is a great option to improve flexibility and a variation in your strength training method. The choreographed moves by Chalene Johnson makes the workout interesting and motivates you to work harder without going crazy.

With the PiYo workout, you don’t need any equipment and it is also low impact which means you can do it within the comfort of your own home or even enjoy a workout while you are travelling. Also there is a lack of cardio exercise and the workouts are really short. As far as challenge is concerned Gina says that she didn’t really find the PiYo workout very challenging and it was exactly what she was looking for. For a more cardio or challenge oriented workout, she recommends TurboFire (kickboxing + dance), Insanity (the classic never dies), or the new 21dayfix Extreme.
