You just couldn’t help it, you had to come back for more of my Power 90 Reviews! This time, I have Sweat 1-2 up for grabs! Sweat 1-2 is a fancy way of saying this is the first cardio portion of Power 90. I would just like to add that the word “Sweat” is very appropriate choice for a title word. But, it’s good! As much as I used to despise sweating, I have grown to appreciate it, and quite frankly….I love it. If I am not sweating, what’s the point??? The only piece of equipment that you need for this workout is yourself. But, if you do the Ab Ripper 100, I would encourage you to use a towel at the very least to lie on.

This will be the first in a series of Power 90 reviews. As the title hints, Power 90 is only the beginning. I’d call it a gateway workout program, a stepping stone, if you will. This workout system opens up a whole new world of possibilities for people who want to get in shape, lose weight, tone up, or all of the above. My biggest motivation has been to lose weight, I’ll worry about the tone up later.
To me, losing weight is relative rather than absolute. Some people want or need to lose 50 or 100+ pounds, others may only need to lose 10 or 20. Whatever that weight is, it’s important to the person who wants to lose it. › Continue reading
