TKO Whatever It Takes 4-Way Resistance Bands Review!

I hope you all are sticking towards your New Years goals of hitting the gym and living a healthier life. Sometimes though making it to the gym can be rough. What with snow, rain, and just car troubles -- I live in LA I know about shitty weather (totally kidding), but don't let that stop you from working out! The best workouts sometimes come from home. That's why I was very excited when I received TKO's resistance bands.

Resistance bands are a great way to work on core and ab workouts. These are four way resistance bands so you can adjust the resistance and difficulty of your workout. Resistance bands build core muscles while enhancing strength and flexibility.

I am a big fan of putting my feet through two and then holding the other two and doing flies and raises with my arms. Doing this shows that you can also build your arm and back muscles as well as your abs and core. These are perfect for when you're traveling so you can't go to the gym but still want to work out in a hotel room or, usually in my case, your friend that you're staying at's apartment. Or if you don't want to spend money on a gym membership just work out at home.

I use the bands at lot in a Core-X gym class at the gym but the time came when I received these that I kind of forgot a lot of the exercises you can do with these bands. Just gives me an excuse to go back to that class, remember the exercises and take them back at home.

Overall, I am really excited to check these bands out and to just go HAM in my apartment. They're also pretty reasonably priced so check them out, you won't be disappointed!

Revolt Fitness Week 3! (Not really.)

Hey everyone…well this subject states Revolt Week 3 but…honestly I did not complete it. I am failing majorly but it's super difficult sticking to a workout regime during the summertime there is so much going on!

My mom ended up staying another week. We are on the way to Vegas as I type this so…that's how that's been going. I plan to give week 3 a re-do next week and go hard.

Does this ever happen to you guys? I feel like we work hard at the gym and eating right all year but then vacation rolls around and all healthy eating and working out goes out the window. Well, I mean you do walk a lot and go swimming on vacation so…that counts as working out right?

I wrote a post similar to this on my other blog here. But basically I fail at vacations. I eat my weight in ice cream and never hesitate ordering desserts or drinks. It's an issue.

But I mean nobody is perfect right? If you don't want to be a lame vacation slacker like me, check out Revolt. I swear I plan on diving face first into week 3 on Wednesday....so it'll be Wednesday to Wednesday for me. It'll work!

First official week on Revolt Now Fitness!

Well, Week 2 Accomplished! Well, technically it was my first week because I was sick the original first week doing Revolt Fitness and I think I did pretty well.

Revolt Fitness is great because it gives you the options to follow their meal plan or make substitutions, well, at least every week but the detox week. The first week is the "detox week." I did okay. I found it hard to fit in 5 meals in a day and I wasn't really hungry for them all. I actually did have to substitute some though because I am vegetarian and three meals involve chicken and sirloin. But honestly, most days I only did three meals because my work schedule is so crazy I can't really pack my meals because some of my jobs don't have microwaves accessible. I suck at diets, I always have and I need to train myself to commit more. Unfortunately though, my mom is visiting next week and I know I won't be sticking to the schedule...but I do have a month, so hopefully by the end I'll have trained myself to follow it more and maybe my work will be less crazy.

My favorite meal though was breakfast, we had to make Banana Crepes which were similar kind of to pancakes to me and while I did suck at making them they did taste quite delicious. And I did improve on making those check it out.

Day 1 Banana Crepes:


Day 6 Banana Crepes:


Not too shabby right? Too good too! And all they are are egg whites, bananas, 1 egg, and a sprinkle of vanilla!

Working out was a lot easier for me, I managed to fit in most of the workouts and let me tell you I HATE PLANK TO PIKES. In a love/hate way though, I mean I know they're working but I just HATE doing them so much.

Revolt Now Fitness's workout plan consists of 3 days of week doing a Guts and Butts Circuit set, 1 day working on a Lower Body Sculpt, and 1 Day working on an Upper Body Sculpt. The only workout I missed was the Lower Body one because I took a Nike Training Camp class that day which is one of my favorites though don't worry we did do many squats and lunges that made up for the ones I missed. I also included a run workout and I did miss one Guts and Butt Circut because I actually ran the ROC Race 5k today which was super fun.



My friend Karon and I dressed as the Green Monkeys from Legends of the Hidden Temple. Aww yeah!

But I really did love the workouts, it kind of opened up a new world at the gym for me. I usually go for the classes, sometimes if it's bad weather (as if) or hot out I'll run on the treadmill or go in the pool but now I really want to just work on the weights and even just do floor exercises there. Improve my pushups, stuff like that.

Overall, I am really digging Revolt Now, yeah I didn't do it 100% but I think I did pretty well for my first week and although my mom is visiting and we will eat out a lot...hopefully I'll stick to healthier options and stick to the gym still too. But I did notice a difference, I am less bloated, eating full meals really helped me from snacking. I'm pretty excited to see where the changes continue to take place!
