Day 1 - RevAbs

Today I started my first workout in the 90-day RevAbs program by Brett Hoebel. The first workout was Total Strength (45 minutes) and Mercy Abs (15 minutes). I really loved Brett's approach to the workouts. He always has 3 rounds for each workout. The first being the starter round to get you going and used to the drills and exercises. Then in the second round, you're able to push a little harder. The third round is called the spice round! This is where he gives you a variation for each exercise and expects you to give it your all. The drills seemed easy at first, especially in the first round, but by round three, I was sweating and my muscles were burning.

The first workout, Total Strength, was great. It included lunges, squats, push ups, glutes and cardio drills. By round three, my muscles really were screaming for mercy. I decided to use a resistance band instead of weights for most of the workouts. On some of the drills, I used a medicine ball.


The workout was followed by an abs routine - Mercy Abs. Again, there were 3 rounds. As expected, the Spice Round was the hardest and he introduced a variation of the V-up (V sit up) that I had never seen before.

I'm looking forward to Day 2!
