RevAbs

Brett Hobel is a fun trainer. His affirmation statement came off as cheesy at first, but I learned that trying to say it was a pretty good way to judge if I was going hard enough or pushing it too hard. Plus my three year old son heard it enough to start saying “I’m strong, committed, and ready to go!”

This would be a great starter program for anyone interested in Insanity, but afraid of its intensity, or anyone who has given up on Insanity. RevAbs uses interval training and nearly all the moves work the core. Workouts are 30-45 minutes in length, so it takes less time than some of the other 90 day programs. This admittedly spoiled me, and after 90 days it was difficult to go back to 45-60 minute routines. But, for someone starting out, I know that 30 minutes can feel like a long time. Once these 90 days have been completed one should be ready to step it up to the next level.

My only complaint was that all the routines are pretty similar. They have different moves but are all cardio circuits and kind of blurred together for me. Lots of lunges, squats, and plank. There were some pretty fun martial arts moves and variations on plank that kept me interested and challenged.

Will this program give someone ‘ripped abs’ in 90 days?  It’s possible, though following the meal planner would likely be the key determining factor. It will strengthen the core and allow further development. I’ll likely revisit some of these routines, specifically the 15 minute ab supplement.
