Brett Hoebel starts out with a 3 minute warm up which consists of quick stretching and two sets of 30 jumping jacks.  I think the biggest issue I have with RevAbs is the warm up is too quick so I tend to stretch a few extra minutes before I push play. 

 So Round 1 you start out with 2 minutes of frontward lunges with a set of dumbbells above your chest.  So all your doing is stepping forward and bending your legs at a 90 degree angle and coming back up for a
