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

By phattyfit On November 5, 2009 No Comments

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.  I do think that RevAbs is fun and challenging with several tough workouts.  I’m still getting results with the program so don’t let this review stear you away.  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

Phase One Workouts

So far I have only completed 3 days but have done all the first phase DVD’s.  The first phase includes Total Strength, Power Intervals, Fire Up Your Abs, and Mercy Abs.  From doing this workout only 3 days I can say its
