PIIT 28 Update – Week 1

Hi guys! As promised…here is an update after completing the first week of PIIT 28! The workouts were all very challenging, but days 3 and 4 were the worst for me (arms and total body). I barely made it through 4 rounds! But my body feels so much stronger even though it’s only been 7 days. I’ve gotten used to always being a little sore, which is a good thing I think. It’s not like I’m dying and not able to move. Like I mentioned in my review post, which you can find here, the hardest part of these workouts for me is pushing that restart button. Not once, not twice, but 4 times!! The first two days felt super long, but after the 3rd day, you start to get used to it. I love how each day targets a different part of the body, and I like how there’s always some cardio mixed in. I was always sweating like a pig afterwards.

Now for progress pictures!! I was actually pretty surprised when I saw the pictures. The results are already starting to show! I haven’t been eating very well this past week though…so I’m excited to see results next week when I start eating cleaner.

The picture on the left is from a week ago, and the picture on the right is from today. Apologies for my messy bathroom. Anyway, for those of you who are thinking of trying PIIT 28, I really recommend taking progress pictures!! I find them to be an extra source of motivation. Your body won’t feel that different from day to day, but when you look back on your pictures, you’ll see how far you’ve come! Of course, your progress is dependent on more than just exercise. Diet, getting enough sleep, etc. all factor in as well. I’ve been eating way too much oily/rich foods this past week, so that’s definitely something that I need to work on over the remaining 21 days.

Once again, I just want to say that I think everyone’s experience/results from using PIIT28 will be different–depending on your exercising background, diet, how hard you push through the workouts, etc. I’ve been following Blogilates’ videos for a while now, I just haven’t been exercising as regularly. For me, my main goal over the 28 days is just to tone my body. That being said, I don’t want these progress pictures to be any more than a source of motivation. Any progress is progress!! That’s why I think progress photos are so important–they’re a way for you to see how far YOU’VE come over the weeks. Don’t compare to anyone else. These 28 days are for YOU to get stronger, and as long as you feel that over the 4 weeks, I think this guide has done its job.

Also, Cassey sent out an email to PIIT28 users yesterday announcing an update for after the 28 days! She’s going to be posting a couple of add-on videos for days 29-56, and we’re supposed to do those in addition to the existing workout videos. So basically, we’re repeating the 28 days again but with some extra workouts for ab/muscle toning. I’m excited! But I still have 3 weeks to go haha.

Stay tuned for another update next week! For those of you who haven’t checked out PIIT28 yet, you can find the link HERE.

  2. Wow! You go girl! Such a great result after only 1 week! I recently posted my first progress photo on Instagram about my weight loss/get healthy journey. I’ve been doing BBG and cardio bar classes.

    • The same thing happened to me back in January! I know how you feel…it was so hard for me to get back into the groove of things. Thank you for reading! 🙂

  8. The definition in your arms after just a week is ridiculous! I’m also doing a continuous workout plan for the next 2 months, so I can relate with the soreness. Can’t wait to see the progress once you’re finished!

      • I’m trying out the T25 program. Finished up with the Alpha and starting the Beta next week. 5 weeks of 5-day work outs for 2 months. I’m surprised I’ve been consistent with them. Slowly losing inches and a few pounds, so it does work.

  10. Hey Ashley, i would like to ask if you ate clean during the PITT 28 to get the progress above? Does the PITT workout calendar changes every month just like her normal monthly workout plan? Or the PITT workout calendar stays the same all the time?

    • Hi Celene,

      I wouldn’t say I ate particularly clean. I ate out a lot last week–hot pot, poke, Korean tofu, stuff like that. So while the food itself wasn’t that unhealthy, the quantity of food was way too much. So I’m trying to eat at home more this week to see if it makes a difference.

      This is the first month that PIIT has been out, so I’m not sure if she’s going to put out a new one every month. It looks like the 28-day guide will stay the same, but she’ll add more videos/workouts to make the 28-days more challenging (no extra purchase required). I know for days 29-56, she’s uploading two more videos that will be worked into the existing plan. So I think that’s going to be how this workout calendar will evolve.

      Hope that helps!

  12. Wow! I don’t see as much progress as yours was in the 1st week. But I think my big belly/tummy is slightly smaller now. I did take a progress pic but I think it wasn’t taken at the right angle. Hopefully I will see more progress soon!

    • I’m sure you will! And yeah I think lighting and angle definitely factor in to progress photos, but as long as you take it in the same lighting/angle every week, you will definitely see a difference! My progress from week 1 to week 2 was much more subtle. I think it’s cause I had a pretty good foundation before I started (at least my abs) from doing blogilates ab workouts for the past year, but I hadn’t been exercising or doing any cardio recently so a layer of flab piled on. But in the first week I think with all the regular workouts, I was able to shed that layer relatively fast. You’ll definitely keep improving. And even if you can’t see it initially in pictures, you’ll be able to feel your body getting stronger 🙂

  17. Hey girl, looking amazing! i’ve been reading up on all your Piit28 posts and it’s got me hooked. a few hesitations though, i have a tiny workout space (literally only fits a yoga mat) and i live on the third floor with wooden floors that seep noise. are the workouts doable in such a small space, and are they neighbour-friendly (in terms of noise)? I would love to hear your thoughts <3

    • Hi Nicole!

      I think space-wise, you should be fine. Most of her exercises don’t require more space than what a yoga mat takes up. There are some exercises that resemble skaters where you’re jumping from side to side but I think that should be doable within your workout space. As for being neighbor friendly…there are a few exercises that she incorporates into the workouts that require lots of jumping. So it’s hard to say. If you’re able to land softly then it might not be an issue. If you can do jump squats without bothering your neighbors downstairs, I think you should be good.

      Hope that helps!
