PIIT28 1.0 Review + Results

  

Happy Wednesday everyone! So many people have reached out to me asking me about PIIT28, what it is, why I have been doing it, etc! So I am going to address questions that I have received, and tell y’all my results and overall thoughts on the PIIT28 program. So pretty much this is a PIIT28 review of 1.0 (round 1) program. If you’re ready to sign up for PIIT28, click here! If you haven’t been convinced yet, please keep reading this PIIT28 review because you will be by the end of this post. 🙂 I am an ambassador for PIIT28, so I paid for the program myself and am not paid in any way to review or promote it, I really just love it! If you click and sign up through my link, I do get credit. 🙂

Q: What is PIIT28? (these are my own words from completing the program, not scientific or anything lol)
A: It is a workout that is 28 mins & 40 seconds of a combination of cardio and pilates moves. The program last 28 days. Most workouts go as follows: cardio move (think jumping movement, burpee, etc) followed by a pilates strengthening move (targeted for a muscle group so if it is abs – moves focused on engaging and isolating your core ab muscles) and then they switch. So, cardio, pilates, cardio, pilates, cardio, pilates, cardio. You get the picture lol. So there are 7 different moves for each workout, and you just repeat those 7 moves, 4 times. Pretty simple!

Q: Where can I do it? 
A: Anywhere! I still have my gym membership but to save even more time after the first week I rolled out my yoga mat in the spare bedroom of my house, and use that as my “gym!” No weights required. Just you, your yoga mat, and WATER. Lots of water.

Q: How do I watch/do the workouts?
A: I love following along watching the videos on my laptop. I put it in full-screen mode, max out the volume, and it really helps me feel like I am in a class with Cassey. However I have watched on my phone as well,, and they worked great there too. iPads work as well and I am sure other tablets do too.

Q: I am not in good shape, I am afraid I can’t do it!
A: Don’t be afraid. How do you think anyone ever starts working out? Just because you’re not in shape, doesn’t mean you can’t start. Please DO NOT let this keep you from trying. Will it be hard? Yes! It’s hard for me and I like to think I am in pretty good shape. If it was easy, you wouldn’t be pushing your body and you wouldn’t see results! I love that her video walk through for each day shows you how to perform each move. She also says common form mistakes that can hurt you if you are performing the move incorrectly. So if you’re new to this/new to Cassey & blogilates, then definitely watch the how to videos before starting each day! She also provides modifications for most moves, especially high impact, in case you have bad knees or are just beginning working out. Like I said, everyone has to start somewhere & that is why the modifications are great!!

Q: Did you follow the meal plan/ did you purchase PIIT28 meal plan? Did you cheat/stray? 
A: Yes & no. I did not buy her meal plan. I know what I like, and that I don’t have a lot of time to cook meals during the week because I get home late from work. So for me, I ate a lot of grilled chicken, pre-cooked white meat from rotisserie chickens from grocery store, 4-6 egg whites daily for breakfast, kinda peanut butter & dark chocolate protein bars as a snack,  canned tuna, salads (with light or minimal dressing,), smoothies, peanut butter on Ezekial toast, and low sugar greek yogurt 2x daily for protein (Dannon OIKOS or chobani 100). I obviously ate stuff other than this but this is typical stuff I eat day to day. You’re supposed to do no dairy, but for me yogurt really helps my stomach. I actually have a bad dairy sensitivity, so I avoid it. Learn to love almond milk or soy milk or something other than dairy milk. I used to LOVE (still do) dairy milk but it kills my stomach, so I can’t drink it anymore, wah.
Yes, I cheated. I am human, y’all! But not every day. I wouldn’t have seen results if I cheated every day, however once a week aka YOLO meal is totalyl fine to keep your sanity. My brother’s birthday was March 7, and do you think I turned down my mom’s homemade chocholate cake? HECK NO. But, I knew I was eating that beforehand, so I made sure to really stay in check the entire day and the day after I ate it. A sweet treat is totally fine every now and then, but not every day. Try to do 1 or 2 only once or twice a week. It really gives you something to look forward to, too!

Q: Why do you like it?
Because it works. It’s only 28 minutes, which is so doable after work. Finding something that you can commit to and you enjoy is totally key. I look forward to getting home from work and cranking it out after a long day, and before I know it, 28 minutes is up and my workout is complete for the day! It also just makes me happy. When I am about halfway through with the workout, it is so tempting to just quit and be like oh well, I did half. But no! I am like I have done half like come on girl, you’re over halfway there! Having internal drive and motivation will keep you pushing when you want to give up. Because trust me, sometimes giving up seems easy. But, I promise if you give up, you’re just going to keep thinking about that. So just make it easier on yourself and keep going for yourself!
Not trying to toot my own horn but I love the way it has shaped my body. I was lifting very heavy weights 3-5 days a week before starting this, and I really just wanted to slim down and become more defined. This did that for me in only 28 days! I look in the mirror and am so happy and confident in the person I see, because I worked my @$$ (literally) off for this body!

Q: Did you see results? 
A: Yes!!!!! 1,000x yes. I lost ~4-5 pounds (started at 145 and ended around 140), but the scale is always such a poor indicator. This is why taking measurements is so important. Obviously I can tell a difference in my before and after, and hopefully y’all can see it too! I really notice my stomach the most, it’s so much more defined. I lost my back roll (been self conscious about this foreva!)! My legs are way leaner, defined, & less cellulite (seriously maybe TMI but just being honest). My arms are slimmer (they were getting bulky from lifting heavy weights often). I  seriously couldn’t be happier with my transformation. Because I loved the results and the program so much, that is why I wanted to put this PIIT28 review together for y’all.
Measurements Before:
-Waist (smallest part): 28.5″
-Hips (Drew & I measured the same day and our hips were the same size…omg): 40″
-Right arm: 11.875″
-Left arm: 11.625″
-Right Thigh: 22.5″
-Left Thigh: 22.25″
-Bust: 35.5″
-Chest: 30.75″

Measurements After:
-Waist: 27.5″
-Hips: 38.75″
-Right arm: 11.625″
-Left arm: 11.625″
-Right Thigh: 22.25″
-Left Thigh: 22.125″
-Bust: 35.5″
-Chest: 29.5″

Net Inches Lost: 4.125″

Q: What happens when you’re finished with the 28 days? 
A: Start again! No, seriously. We started March 1, and finished March 28. Taking a couple days off and starting PIIT28 2.0 which is round 2 on April 1, so this Friday! It’s going to be the same thing, except that free weights will be added and your goal is to not do as many/any modifications on all of the moves! I am so excited to see my complete transformation after round 2 is completed as well.
This PIIT28 review has been a long post, I know, but hopefully this is helpful to someone! Like I said, these are the FAQs I have gotten about PIIT, so if you have any others PLEASE reach out to me.

    Thank you so much for your review! I’ve been interested in finding out more about PIIT so I’m so happy to see your post. A couple of questions for you: For round 2, do you have to buy a new program? Or is the info about adding weights/making modifications already in the program? Any advice for people who would just be starting the program?

    • 4.2.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      You’re so welcome!!!
      For round 2, you don’t have to buy anything additional! The new content is automatically on the login portal for you to have full access to!
      Advice to anyone starting off– just make sure you are fully committed and ready to make a change! Having internal motivation to make yourself better and pushing through the pain is essential! You will be so impressed with yourself on the improvement just in the first week! I know that I was. 🙂 also make sure your diet is in check! I have figured out what works for me, so I didn’t purchase the meal plan. However just be honest with yourself and track food if necessary. I love using My Fitness Pal! Hope this helps. Xoxox!!!

        That’s super helpful. Thanks!
        One more question for you- I am traveling a lot this summer without internet. Are all the videos and workouts online or can I download them to carry with me on an iPad/laptop?

        • 4.4.16
          morgbullard@gmail.com said:

          Yes definitely!!! There is a printout that you can save as a PDF on your laptop, iPad or phone, or you could print it out as well! So you can take it anywhere. 🙂

    Hi,
    Congratulations on your success 🙂
    Just wondering if the the 11 28piit videos are full length 28 min video or is it 1 video that you have to replay 4 times?
    Would be greatful for a swift response because I am thinking about buying the program and hopefully they are full length:) and also I am going too a weeding July 1st and need to get in shape 🙂 Hopefully it’s possible with piit28 🙂 🙂

      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hi Monika!
      The videos are full videos of the workout, but you do have to repeat them! Its shows the video doing 1 round, and I just restart/replay the video for a total of 4 times! It’s really simple and always loads very quickly. It also gives you a nice little break in between rounds. 🙂 I fast-forward to the start of the workout, and try to keep my breaks 15 seconds or less! I think you’ll love it, and if you do decide to start, please let me know! I am here for any questions, any time. 🙂
      If you do decide to start, here is the link: https://www.piit28.com/a/787/9caeYSRX

      Much love & best of luck!!!

        Hello again Morgan,
        Thank you for your response:)
        Been reading up a little bit about piit28, and read somewhere that when one is done with round 1 and begin round 2.0, weights are incorporated, is that accurate?
        Have a lovely day
        Sincerely
        Monika 🙂

        • 4.4.16
          morgbullard@gmail.com said:

          No problem! That is 100% accurate. All of the details for round 2.0 are automatically on your login portal when you purchase piit28. You start 2.0 after you finish round 1.0 of course. 🙂 You also get a free tank for completing round 1, which is pretty awesome!! I can’t wait for mine to come in the mail. 🙂

          Best of luck! 🙂

    Hi!

    Congrats on your results it’s amazing! I am starting PIIT this month and I was wondering if you continued with other workouts as well and how much physical activity you were doing in addition to the videos. I used to go running but I’m thinking about taking a break due to tendinitis.

    Thanks!

    • 4.5.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hey there! 🙂 Congratulations on starting soon! You’re going to love it!!! I just did PIIT, that’s it! That’s why I love it so much because you do it, and that’s it! I followed the workout calendar pretty tightly, but missed a couple days just due to life! It’s such a great combo of cardio and core/strength training, I didn’t and still don’t see a need to add anything personally for me. 🙂 please let me know how it goes for you and feel free to reach out to me with any other questions!!! Tendinitis doesn’t sound fun. I hope it heals soon! Xoxo

    Dee said:

    Thanks for the review. I try to follow the monthly calendars and am interested in purchasing PIIT28 but I still have a few questions. Are the videos similar to her PIIT videos on YouTube? Would I see results if I just used those videos instead? After the 28 days I need to repurchase again for round 2 or is it just a one time purchase and automatically get the next rounds?

    • 4.6.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hey Dee! I’m glad that you enjoyed it. 🙂
      Of course! Yes they are similar, however there are more, which gives more variation if that makes sense. I’ve done her booty PIIT on YouTube, and it’s the same format. 7 moves 45 sec on and 15 sec rest in between! I feel like you could get results just with her other videos, but it would be harder. She has everything laid out for you on the purchased one, so there is no guess work. You just look at the calendar and go! For me, purchasing the program was worth it because it’s so easy to follow along, and every day is so different from the previous. you just purchase it once and automatically go to next round! All round 2 content is available to you on login portal. 🙂 you also get the PIIT completion tank for free when completing round 1, which is almost worth the $39 in itself!!!!

    So when you access the videos, etc do you have to download it in one spot and can only use it there or can you access it from anywhere I.e I downloaded it on my laptop but want to do PIIT at the gym after work.

    • 4.20.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hey there!!! 🙂
      You can’t “download” it like save it to your computer or tablet as a file. However you may be able to pre-load the video and then watch it somewhere offline. I haven’t tried it! Do you have Internet connection at your gym? If not I would as the office for wifi info!!!! Usually they’re accommodating 🙂 I know my gym did that for me! I explained I needed it to workout and they didn’t have a problem with it at all. Hope this helps! 🙂 xoxo

      • 4.20.16
        Sam said:

        Okay so do you just access the videos on the site?

        • 4.20.16
          morgbullard@gmail.com said:

          Yes! 🙂 they’re very easy to follow, and print offs are available too if you don’t have Internet access for all of the workouts and moves! 🙂

    Hi!! I’m very confused as to what format this program is in. I just bought it but there were instructions on what to do now. There’s no link to download as I read it was an E-book??? I feel like I paid for nothing?! Can you explain to me what this program is? Thanks!

    • 5.1.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Of course!! One you login to your account, you should see a tab or button that says “my program.” Then click on the pic of Cassey that says PIIT28 1.0 or click “view.” That takes you to the page where everything is! The PDF is at the top of you click the pic or cassey, or scroll down and read step 1, 2, etc and it will help you navigate! You get the PDF, GIFs, and videos of all of the workouts! If you keep scrolling down on the main page each daily workout is clickable, and takes you to the video of all 7 moves and the moves below the video in gif form for that day! Hope this helps!! Xoxo

    PLEASE HELP!

    I recently bought PIIT 28 1.0 a few days ago and I haven’t received it! The link to my tracking order leads me to something saying that they received my order – “check for updates on your order”. However, no update has been made. Because you bought the program my question is, am I receiving a physical book that will be delivered to my house? OR Am I to receive an ebook?, I have not been notified by the company AT ALL. Please help! Your transformation is inspiring and I can’t wait to find my order!!

    • 5.2.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hey girl!!! Ok so it’s all over the computer. You won’t have anything physically delivered to you! Even though you signed up paying with PayPal, you should have made an email and set a password for your account. I also received a confirmation email with my login info and the subject of the email was “Your new PIIT28 // Pilates Intense Interval Training Account” use your login info at piit28.com and it will take you to the portal. Click view my library and it will take you to the main content page with all of the workouts and clickable links to each workouts for videos. The PDF win all of the workouts / more info is on this main page as well. You have 3 ways to do the workouts, viewing the PDF, the GIFs in each workout link on main page, and the videos for each workout on the main page. Each day has its own link and video. Hope this helps! 🙂

    What would you say are the most confusing or unlikable things about PIIT? I’ve heard lots of amazing things but I also know that it can’t all be rainbows and butterflies right? I know it will yield results but what are the ways the program falls short?

    • 5.18.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hey there! Ok, the most confusing hmm… For me because I started March 1, she has kind of improved it along the way. In the beginning, I didn’t realize you have to purchase both 1.0 & 2.0. However with the videos the workouts are very straight forward! It’s hard. Like very hard so maybe that’s unlikeable? It’s not rainbows and butterflies at all, and if it was I wouldn’t have seen results! A workout that is constantly pushing you and challenging you is one that will change you. 🙂 you just have to have the internal motivation to stick it out! And for me, working out 6-7 days a week is sometimes unrealistic, so that could be a downfall as well. But I try my best to work it into my busy schedule as best as I can. You also have to be in relatively good shape to start the program as well, bc it’s not easy and not for super beginners. There are modifications tho to help you build your way up. Hope this helps. 🙂 xoxo

    You look great and happier! I just purchased piit28 last night but I haven’t received any instant download for the e-book. How long should it take? It just says my order has been confirmed

    • 5.24.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      You won’t receive the ebook directly on email! You need to click the link sent to you confirming your purchase to login to the account with your email that you purchased PIIT with! 🙂 then it takes you to the portal where you can view all content (ebook, videos, GIFs, etc). Does this help?

      Oh also I got my email confirmation immediately after I purchased and then another within 5 mins!

    Hi

    I am planning to buy PIIT28. Just a quick question. Should we buy PIIT28 1.0 for $40 and PIIT2.0 for another $40. Or is it just $40.

    • 6.7.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hey there! So PIIT28 1.0 is $39, and then after you complete 1.0, you’ll be sent a coupon code and 2.0 is $29. So worth it! Good luck and congrats on starting! Xoxo

      • 7.1.16
        Stephanie Kennedy said:

        When did you get your coupon code for 2.0? Tomorrow I finish 1.0 round 1 and was thinking about buying 2.0 just to give myself something to look forward to as I do 1.0 round 2 this month. I was wondering if I’d get the code around round 1 or round 2.

        • 7.1.16
          morgbullard@gmail.com said:

          Hey! I got it after completing round 2!! 🙂 It was sent directly to my email inbox.

    So. I am not on a regular workout routine but I am VERY interested in PIIT28. Should I try to get into a workout routine before starting or do you think I could start with this? Doing the modifications? I would love to start but don’t want to if a beginner can’t keep up.

    • 6.20.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      I think that this would be a great start to get into a workout routine for you. The modifications will be very helpful for you and just remember, you go at your pace and will become stronger every day. Don’t ever stop in the middle of a workout, but if you need to slow down then slow down! Take a day off as well every now and again if you’re feeling exhausted. Listen to your body and don’t give up! 🙂 this far into the program some days are still really hard for me, but I keep pushing and growing. Best of luck to you!! 🙂

    Hi! I bought PIIT28 1.0 after seeing a friend’s results but I had a super busy week so I couldn’t start it until now. Do you only have access to the videos for 28 days or does the access to the site last longer? I really want to do it and hope to do PIIT28 2.0 after finishing it.

    • 10.10.16
      morgbullard@gmail.com said:

      Hi Jenny! You have access forever!!! 🙂 Good luck!! So excited for you. Please keep me updated on your progress!!!
