RevAbs (Mercy Abs) vs P90x (Ab Ripper X)

So since my start of the new program all I have been doing is comparing it to P90x.  The one that we all hate the most but love the results is Ab Ripper X.  I do think Mercy Abs is just as challenging and the advantage is its not so fast paced.  Mercy Abs consist of these workouts with 3 rounds of action:

Round 1

Crunches

Bencao Kick- Its a crunch but on the way up you kick your leg straight out and twist to the side. (OUCH)

Round 2

More Crunches

Another round of Bencao Kicks

Knee tucks-Its like a Crunchy Frog in P90x but instead of your hands in the air they are on the ground like  your T shaped and dragging your arms across the floor.  The crunch is what kills you and when you hit 15 your ready to break.

Round 3    (Spice Round)

Crunches -With weights

Bencao Kicks- With Weights

V-ups-  Similar to P90x but your using a 10 pound weight or whatever you can manage. 

It seems pretty easy but Brett Hoebel wants you to work slower with a bigger focus on tightening the Abs on every rep.  Im a little annoyed with the repetitiveness of the workout but each round gets more intensified.  Mercy Abs is used in combination with two other workouts in the program which makes the total days workout to be 1 hour.  My final thoughts are that I don’t think this will ever replace P90x but it’s nice to change it up with a different program.  After doing P90x twice I got a little bored with some of the workouts so I’m happy that I made the purchase.  If your interested in trying it out then click here.  It’s $40 cheaper than P90x and the workouts are only 45 minutes or less.
