Rev Abs – The Program

Rev Abs is a complete fitness program that includes all of the necessary components for success. It includes the workouts, a nutrition guide, and online support, which are all necessary for a healthy transformation and overcoming obstacles that can get into the way of your goals.

Workouts

The program is broken into two phases. Each phase is 45 days long. Phase 1 focuses on increasing strength and endurance, which will be needed for Phase 2. Phase 2 is much more intense. Each workout is broken down into three rounds. The last round is the most challenging in an attempt to push you past your personal limits.

Nutrition Plan

A huge part of the success of this program is following the nutrition plan. While you can strengthen your abs, they will not be seen under a layer of fat. It is absolutely essential that you follow a healthy nutrition plan to eliminate fat so you can see the results of your hard work.

You will start the nutrition plan with the 14-day Jump Start. This is where you will begin the process of eliminating certain sugars, fruits, and starches. You will also reduce your caloric intake dramatically, which is designed to force your body to use your fat for fuel. Do not continue this low caloric diet past the 14-day program.

After the 14 days are up, you will increase your caloric intake based on the nutrition guide included with the program. You can create your own menu based on the foods you like as the foods you can eat are all listed.

The plan calls for three meals and two snacks per day. Here are some samples of the foods you can eat:

Veggie Omelet
Hard Boiled Eggs
Mexican Scramble
Shrimp Salad
Turkey Roll-Ups
Shrimp Cocktail
Dijon Pork Chops
Sirloin & Salad
Lemon Chicken
Protein Bars
Almonds
Shakeology

Shakeology can be purchased through the Beachbody website.

Rev Abs Pros/Cons

While the program is intense, it is simple to follow. It combines cardiovascular exercises with strength training. While the focus is on the abs, the entire body can be transformed with the types of routines the workouts provide. All you need are some resistance bands or weights; however, they do not come with the program. Expect to be on the floor a lot, which can be an issue for some people.

The nutrition guide does provide some tasty recipes making it easier to follow. Having a list to follow also makes the decision process much simpler. Counting calories can be annoying; however, this is necessary if you truly want to lose that weight.

Bottom Line

If you are ready to work hard to transform your body, then this could be the program for you. If you are looking for a fun and easy program, you may want to look into other options. For the quality and amount of workouts you receive, the one-time cost of $89.85 plus $14.95 S&H is not a bad investment. You can also purchase Rev Abs by paying three monthly payments of $29.95 plus $14.95 S&H (processed on the first payment).
