By now you should really get the impression your abs are getting stronger as hardly a workout goes by Shaun doesn’t go after them. The moves involve push ups, presses, curls, rows and abdominal work. To give perspective I can do repeated sets of bicep curls at 40lbs. As such the band included in the package is a good choice. As such the average male would probably not need more than a couple 10lb weights. The purpose of this is to accelerate the fat burning process by getting the muscles involved. That means it is nothing like a dedicated muscle routine such as Body Beast. Upper Focus is still circuit training with weights. There are however a few things you should know. Like all things Shaun T, you’re going to sweat your butt off only this time you better get out the weights. That’s probably a very good thing as there is a devoted Core video the same week. Think of it as Alpha Cardio with a bit more kick to it. While Core Cardio does indeed involve the core, it does not do so to a crazy degree. The same 2.5 minute cool-down from Alpha:Cardio follows the main video. There’s lots of compound ( combo ) moves to get the gut involved like Air Plank Jumps. It’s Beta: Core Cardio, and you can tell because they changed the color of the lightbulb on the set to orange. 10lbs for the men and 5lbs for the ladies should do. Some weights are the only addition required.

Along the way I’ll provide some tips and advice along with my partner in fitness and species procreation, Mrs.

Alpha worked on the foundation but BETA Phase is focused on the core. PART 1 covered the Alpha Phase, but now it’s time to crank it up a notch, turn it up to 11, or let our balls drop…I’m really not sure if I’m saying that right but you get the point. The long anticipated Part 2 of 2 has arrived.
