Well week three of Revabs is complete and what a challenge it’s been this week.
Between early wake-ups for work and feeling sore from the workouts it made for a challenging time.
MERCY ABS was done twice this week and the second time had lots of problems because of feeling it mostly in my upper abs.
My knees are still giving me problems and may try to find my knee support braces to use during the POWER INTERVALS workout.
I’ve been trying a few different things eating wise. I just got some more P90X Protein Bars and have been using them a bit before working out on the road and having a meal after working out to see if that helps in any way of keeping up my energy on these early mornings.
When at home I’ve been drinking my Shakeology after working out to try and give my body that extra boost it may need after the workout. I’ve had a few stomach problems with the Shakeology but find putting in a banana in the shake seems to do the trick and my stomach is fine. Still working on the best combination of things to say what is my favorite shake.
As a Beachbody Coach getting discounts on these products makes them more economical to purchase.

So week 4 about to begin in 2 days and POWER INTERVALS will once again be done twice this week, so hopefully things will become easier with it, though still having some problems with the “sprawls”.

Well week 2 of Revabs is complete, and what a week it was.
I did get in all the workouts, but as mentioned in my last Revabs post POWER INTERVALS was done 3 times this week in place of one of the TOTAL STRENGTH/MERCY ABS workout.

Overall I feel I have seen an improvement through the week, some of that being because my back is feeling better. Doing POWER INTERVALS and extra time kinda really did me in as I really felt it in my legs with all the squat thrusts and crossovers.
The day of rest was definatley needed too because of the schedule during the week of early wake-ups for work and not sleeping the greatest on the road.

So now here I am beginning week 3. The schedule this week is the same as week one starting with TOTAL STRENGTH/MERCY ABS, followed by FIRE UP YOUR ABS, and POWER INTERVALS.

TOTAL STRENGTH I felt I did a bit better making it through the “spice round” with the push-ups which has been a challenge previously.
Also since I don’t have heavy weights I used some bands today which gave me some really good resistance for the rounds of exercises, along with the spice round. this workout has quite a bit of cardio and felt I did a good job making it through without feeling as winded previously.
I immediately followed it up with MERCY ABS, which again was a challenge, but also felt it alot more in the abs this time then previously, so I know I was working the exercise properly.

After the workout this time I followed up with a Shakeology within 30 min of working out. I’ve been trying out using Shakeology, though haven’t taken it on the road with me, but having it while at home. So that’s another thing I’ll be seeing if it will help in the way I feel along with trying the P90X bars as some snacks while in the road. The good thing about being a Beachbody Coach is I get a discount on these products too.

So tomorrow is FIRE UP YOUR ABS and I intend on doing that in the morning, and keep on pushing play during the week, hopefully seeing some more improvements as the week goes on.

Revabs is complete and now beginning week 2.

The biggest thing I’ve just noticed with the program is the workouts changes with week 2.

The odd weeks 1,3,5 and 7 are TOTAL STRENGTH/MERCY ABS, FIRE UP YOUR ABS, and POWER INTERVALS.

Even weeks 2,4, and 6 Start with POWER INTERVALS, then FIRE UP YOUR ABS, and TOTAL STRENGTH/MERCY ABS, however for the second part of the week POWER INTERVALS is done twice instead of TOTAL STRENGTH/MERCY ABS.

I’m guessing this to help build a good foundation of strength and endurance for phase 2.
What I’ve noticed is some definition that I haven’t noticed before, however I’ll take a pic after Phase 1 is complete and compare so I know if just my imagination or not.

The end of week 1 ended with POWER INTERVALS and week 2 started with POWER INTERVALS which had you doing this workout twice in a row, though there is a rest day in between which after taking it I realized was needed.

So now week 2 has started and hopefully my back which was bothering me during week one will be getting better as the week goes on.

Also my knees were bothering me a bit, which I think with all the lunges, jumping jacks, squat thrusts, and crossovers didn’t help, but will hopefully become easier as the training progresses.

Also diet wise when home I’m incorporating Shakeology, and been having some
P90X performance bars as snacks.

Being a Beachbody Coach I also get 25% discount on all these products.

I’m also doing some video reviews of the workouts on You Tube if you care to check them out.

Till next time
