Each circuit features one cardio burst the cardio burst is not repeated. The strength workouts are made up of 4 circuits of 4 moves that are repeated. Every workout is set up in “circuit” fashion. This is only for the first week of the program.Įach workout is broken down indivdually below, but here is a brief overview of how the workouts are structured. If you choose to do the Kick Start your food will be tightly restricted and you will add an extra cardio workout to each of your strength days. The only variance to this is the first week of the program-the “Kick Start” week (which is optional). Example: Monday: Push muscles, Tuesday: Pull muscles, Wed.: Cardio, Thursday: Push muscles, Friday: Pull muscles, Sat.: Cardio. You then give the muscle group you worked 72 hours to recover before you work them again. These strength workouts are set up where one day you work the muscles on the front of your body or the “push” muscles: chest, triceps, shoulders, quads and abs, and the next day you work the back of your body or the “pull” muscles: glutes, hamstrings, back, biceps and abs. What this means is that you will do strength workouts two days in a row, but you will be working different muscle groups so that the muscles that you worked the day before are able to recover. The strength workouts are set up on the basis of optimized muscle splits. You will do 4 strength workouts a week and 2 cardio workouts a week. 30 minutes and you do one workout a day, 6 days a week. Phase 2=Cardio 2 and Phase 3=Cardio 3.Įach workout is approx. So in Phase one, you will always do Cardio 1. The Cardio workouts correspond to the phases. The second two weeks you will do Workout 3, Workout 4 and Cardio 1. For instance, in Phase 1, the First two weeks you will do Workout 1, Workout 2 and Cardio 1. Every two weeks you will do the same 3 workouts. Each phase is further broken down into two week blocks. Each phase contains 4 strength workouts and 1 cardio workout. There are 15 workouts: 12 strength workouts and 3 cardio workouts. It is set up in 3 phases which correspond to the difficulty of the program each phase gets more difficult. In order to get the best possible results you will need to follow both the fitness and the diet plan.

Program Structure: Body Revolution is a progressive 90 day fitness and weight loss program. And, of course, being familiar with Jillian Michael’s workouts, books, and podcasts, I knew before even doing them that I would also be getting quality workouts. So it immediately felt like a good purchase. However, the program itself is reasonably priced. This is packaged beautifully and none of the books or equipment or even the DVD “housing” is cheap. If you’ve read my blog, you’ll know I am a program junky, so I own a lot of programs. Though I will go into more detail about the different elements of the program in the sections below, I want to say in the overview that this was clearly a high quality program from the outset. The resistance cable is “Level” one-which means not much resistance. You also get 30 days free to the Jillian Michaels online program. It comes with 15 workout DVDs, a fitness guide, a Fat Burning Meal plan, a 7 Day Kick Start, a resistance cable, a 90 day journal and a book mark. Overview: Body Revolution is a 90 day cardio + strength workout program.
