Overview of Body Revolution Weeks 5 – 8
The warm-up sessions in Body Revolution weeks 5 – 8 are harder and more dynamic than weeks 1 – 4. The cable is also used for some of the warm-up exercises.
Weeks 7 and 8 are particularly tough with intense moves one after the other so no breaks and your arms and legs are screaming by the end.
Workout 8, circuit 3 is very very tough so be prepared. The good thing is by that time, your body is much stronger after workouts 1 – 7.
You can also double time on each workout i.e. do the move much faster with higher repetitions within the allotted time.
If for some reason, you find any of the moves too easy, you can be sure there’s someone in every workout doing a more intense version you can follow.
And if you can’t keep up, there are modifications to follow as well.
