			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I near the end of <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/revabs-dvd-set" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">RevAbs</span> </a>I am very pleased with the results I have gotten so far.  In this post I will share my thoughts on how I feel this workout is compared to others and what Fat Burning Abs really entails.  It consists of a serious Ab workout and by far the hardest DVD of the RevAbs set.<span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-ab-ripper-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ab Ripper X</span></a> is a joke compared to this workout and I thought I would never say that.  If you thought 15 minutes of straight Ab workout was difficult then try Fat Burning Ab&#8217;s.  The best part of this workout is that you get a few breaks and your strengthening your back and your Abs.</p>
<p>The workout is just under 39 minutes and consists of 3 rounds just like all the other RevAbs DVD workouts.  Each round consists of 6 exercises that are intensified after each round.  It starts with a little stretching but mostly 3 minutes of cardio routines like a ton of jumping jacks and side steps.  <img class="alignright" src="http://www.ironmagazine.com/images/ab_anatomy.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Moving Plank</strong> is first and it seems really easy but it really kills your external obliques.  You start out in a plank position with your forearms on the ground and when Brett says go you move left 4 times and then back 4 times.  The key is to move the same arm and leg together so there is less confusion.  Brett has you do this for a minute and 5 seconds so good luck.  <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90x </span></a>did prepare me for this exercise.</p>
<p><strong>Cobra</strong> is a favorite because It helps strengthen your back and your posture.  It is used in many of his workouts so if you don&#8217;t know by now I will quickly explain.  Lay down on stomach with legs together and arms shaped in a U and lift your chest off the ground and keep your arms above your head with chin down.  1 minute hold!</p>
<p><strong>Leg Drop Splits </strong>are my least favorite but help the Abs the Most.  This consists of laying on your back with feet together and positioned at 90 degree&#8217;s.  It is a 4 move process for a 1 count and a total of 12!  So from the starting position you bring your legs down then open into a Y, then close and go back up into a 90 degree for a 1 count.  OUCH!  My frustration is that I cant complete all twelve and my back always lifts off the ground and that&#8217;s not good.</p>
<p><strong>Jackknifes </strong>are next and no you still don&#8217;t get a break!  Very simple move and you don&#8217;t use weights until the spice round.</p>
<p><strong>Mountain Climbers</strong> are a heavy favorite for any sport and are really an old school exercise.  For 45 seconds your in a push up position and then when Brett says go you start climbing in place rotating each leg.  I am still trying to get through the whole 45 seconds,  almost there.</p>
<p>Mercy! -  Finally a 30 second break and no matter what don&#8217;t stop moving even if your just toe tapping from left to right.</p>
<p>Before round 1 is over you have a quick 50 seconds of <strong>sprawls</strong> and there a little different than in the other <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/revabs-dvd-set" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">workouts</span></a>.  See you run fast in place and then hit the ground for a 1 sprawl count, then quick run, a two and so on until you do 4 sprawls in a row.  Yes this one is a killer and I want to fall after this is over but wait you still have 2 rounds to go!</p>
<p>In round two the only big difference is instead of cobra you do a superman.  It is a leg and arm raise just like superman, Duh!  The other difference is an extra 15 second Mercy or a break.</p>
<p>Spice Round is a pain because at this point Im already feeling like I got my butt kicked and now Brett wants to add intensity.  So a quick modification for all the exercises looks like this:</p>
<p><em>Moving Plank</em>- Add a kick after each four reps</p>
<p><em>Superman</em>- From a U to a Y(positioning of your arms)</p>
<p><em>Jackknife</em>- 2 legs instead of one(I still can&#8217;t complete this one)</p>
<p><em>Mountain Climbers</em>- Add push-ups</p>
<p><em>Sprawls</em>-Add a jump in between each stand up.</p>
<p>When your done you have a wonderful 4 minute cool down of which I never do.  No particular reason besides time and I don&#8217;t really like the cool down.  Please get the <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-recovery-drink" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">recovery drink </span></a>as you will be sore as hell the next few weeks.  If your looking to stay healthy then make sure your eating the proper <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-healthy-meals" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">foods</span> </a></span>as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t written on my blog in about a month due to several reasons but I am still working out with the RevAbs program and find that it is helping me stay tone.  I will be posting some before and after pics but Im only in day 40 of 90 so hopefully soon.  The workouts are less time and more cardio based and like I said before you really don&#8217;t feel like your getting an AB workout but you really are.  This post will be mainly on one of the Discs called Fire Up your Abs.  Remember that half the battle is your diet so if you would like some help click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-healthy-meals " target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">here</span> </a></span>or continue reading.     </p>
<p>It consists of 5 workout routines and repeated 3 times for about a total of 40 minutes with stretching and cool down.  Not bad when all you have to do is follow the program and 40 minutes later you have burned like 600 calories.  When was the last time you went to the gym and burned that many in that quick of time. </p>
<p>PLANK-  Is the first position after the stretching and its pretty much a push up position but your forearms are flat on the ground, head in your chest and back flat.  You hold this position for a minute and yes if you do it correctly and squeeze your Abs then it will be a painfully good feeling.  </p>
<p>COBRA-Is a position that helps strengthen your back because doing this helps your posture and of course your Abs.  In this move you lay on your stomach with your legs together and arms in a T position.  Then for 1 minute you lift your arms so that your shoulder blades are touching and then lift your chest off the ground.  You will definitely feel this in your shoulders and back 30 seconds into the exercise.  OUCH! </p>
<p>DUMBELL JACKKNIFE- Is a favorite of mine because it really kills the ABs.  Sit up position and knees bent with a dumbbell in hands.  Then you pretty much lift one leg in the air and the dumbbell going all the way up to the top of the foot.  Just picture your body bending like a hinge and your objective is to touch your toes with the dumbbell.  You alternate sides until the minute 30(sec) is up.  I use 20 pounds and its tough and barely get through it. </p>
<p>SIDE PLANK-  Is fairly simple but gives your obliques a great tight feeling when your done.  Its like a regular plank but your only using one forearm and lifting the other hand in the air.  Your feet should be staggered for better support but for a challenge stack them on top of each other.    You do 30 seconds on each side.</p>
<p>STRIDERS-This is a 30 second routine that gets the whole body involved and I think a little more fun than just doing a plain old jumping jack like the majority of his other videos.  Picture hugging yourself and crossing your legs at the same time but only really fast.  So your opening and closing your legs and arms while jumping in between.  I&#8217;m trying to explain this correctly so I hope it doesn&#8217;t sound confusing. </p>
<p>These steps are repeated two more times as the 3rd round is called the spice round and Brett adds a little spice to it.  What he means is changes it up a little bit to make the last set more challenging.  I didn&#8217;t see much difference but once again I did do <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90x </span></a>twice before this workout.  If your a beginner to beach body and are trying this for the first time then no more than 10 and 15 pound weights will be fine for this workout.</p>
