Week 4 of Phase 2 of Beachbody REVABS is now in the books.
This week a few things have changed. One is I managed to be able to go out get 2-15 pound dumbbells to use when I’m home.
Previously I was using resistance bands or lighter weight, just because I didn’t have a set to use.
I wanted to try and step it up a bit to get the best results possible which is the reason for making the purchase.
Well it definitely made a difference working with the weights, and something that hit me was, here I am working with these weights getting fatigued with some of the moves was, yet this was the amount of weight I’ve lost with diet and exercise. Now it’s feels alot heavier working with it this way, the when I was walking around with it on my body.
Also I noticed today while working with REV IT UP was my knees were not bothering me as much when doing the jumping jacks which it used to do.

I do feel some of the other moves getting better, and have modified most of the moves to be able to get the best results for me to get my heart rate up to where it should be, so overall I’m happy with this weeks progress and am looking forward to see changes will happen of over the next week.

One thing I’d like to add is if you’re looking to lose weight and haven’t really though about how your present weight may be affecting you is to go to any store that has weights for sale, I went to Target, and just pick up what you want to lose and hold them for a minute or so. Maybe walk with them for a little bit.
For me it really woke me up to see what it like to walk around to have this extra 30 pounds on my body. I’m sure it will be an enlightening experience.

I’ve also while home have been keeping up with drinking my Shakeology and watching my eating to hopefully get the best results possible for the last 3 weeks coming up.

Week 3 of Phase 2 of REVABS is in the books. This weeks schedule consisted of…
POWER INTERVALS 2 on days 1 and 4
FAT BURNING ABS on day 2
STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE on day 3 and 6 and finally
REV IT UP on 5

As with the progress of Phase 1 some things are getting easier as the training goes on.
This week though I felt quite a bit more tired then usual and it seemed like some of the of workouts went on forever because of that.
Tomorrow is a day of “mercy” so hopefully will recharge and be ready for week 4.
With this week complete 21 workouts remain which with the days of rest comes out to just over 3 weeks. I’m looking forward to these last few weeks of workouts and hopefully everything coming together for great results.

Results I’ve seen so far have been, my back not aching like it used to or did at the beginning of the workouts. My arms and thighs getting better definition from all the lunges and presses. There has been some definition around the abs, though not as much as I thought there would be, but some of that has to do with the lack of weight loss which has been at a standstill.

As week 4 begins, the schedule will repeat week 1, starting with FAT BURNING ABS day 1 and 4, POWER INTERVALS 2 day 2 and 5, STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE being done only once this week on day 3 and REV IT UP to close out the week on day 6.

So here’s looking forward to the next 21 workouts.

Well week 2 of Phase 2 of Revabs is in the books and overall I felt it was a much more productive now that I was familiar with the exercises.

The week started off with STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE and MERCILESS ABS. I reversed the workouts around to do Merciless abs first since I felt I got a lot more out of it by doing it that way, and then followed up either right away or later int he day with Strength and Endurance. Merciless abs was a quick 15 min workout and Strength and Endurance about 45.

REV IT UP was done twice this week and and a important note is that in the materials you receive with this it states it’s a 30 min work out and to my surprise it was a 45 min workout. Doing these workouts on the road and fitting in the workouts based on time kinda threw a wrench in the works, so take notice, leave 40-45 min for this workout. In places where Brett mentions about revving high I didn’t feel I was there, however as the workout continued my heart rate did get up to where it should be.

POWER INTERVALS 2, as in the first round does a great job of getting your heart pounding and the sweat dripping, and If I remember right “sprawls” are back… again. As in Phase 1, I had some issues with the sprawls and so it continues. What I’ll be doing though is just staying with the squat thrusts. I get a lot more out of them then struggling through the sprawls.

FAT BURNING ABS also has sprawls which have I’ve changed to the squat thrusts for the reason I already mentioned, and another exercise in this workout is “Mountain Climbers” which gives me problems with my feet and knees, so I will have to find a way to modify those to get the most out them.

I’m still happy with the workouts and like the way they change around a little more then Phase 1 did. This coming week I’ll be doing most of the workouts at home so that should help me stay on a steady schedule of working out and drinking Shakeology.

Well that’s the review for the week, feel free to contact me about any questions about the workout, Beachbody products, or any interest in becoming a Beachbody coach.

Till the next review
