Archive for the ‘Turbulence Training’ CategoryFree Fitness E-Books from the top online trainers. Check it out! CLICK HERE!By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Recently I was down in sunny Mesa, Arizona at a seminar that featured both Sir Richard Branson and Bill Phillips, the author of the most popular fat loss book ever, “Body for Life” (BFL). It looked as though Bill hadn’t aged a day since his book came out about 10 years ago, so he’s doing something right. Now I get questions all the time asking what’s better, “Turbulence Training or Body for Life”? Well, I’m going to be frank with you, and tell you that Turbulence Training is better, hands down. Remember, BFL was written about 10 years ago. And a lot has changed since then. Granted, BFL had interval training in it, but it didn’t use bodyweight circuits (like you’ll find in your bonus workout, the TT DB-BW Fusion program). These small changes and improvements we’ve learned in the last few years are enough to make the TT workouts shorter and better. So if you are stuck for time, you have no choice but to go with the program that is constantly being updated with the latest proven workout methods – and that’s the Turbulence Training program. If you have an old copy of BFL lying around, then that might help you for now. But if you want to beat a fat loss plateau, then you’ll need all the help you can get, and that includes getting the latest fat loss info found in Turbulence Training.

CLICK HERE!By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS I was at a big event last week and was reminded how Often the suggestions are lack any substance, because the writers don’t want to imply you actually have to make a sacrifice to succeed. They make fat loss sound easy, as if all you had to do was park at the far end of the parking lot and you’d burn all the Well it doesn’t work that way…So here are my politically By the way, I “borrowed” a few ideas from contestants in my Click here to get started with Turbulence Training for Fat Loss: Strategy #1 – Green Tea & Almonds One of the most common tips you’ll hear is to “fill up” before you Unfortunately, most people I talk to have no luck with this tip. But recently TT users have told me that having a cup of Green Tea and one ounce of almonds has helped them avoid holiday cravings better than anything ever before. The fiber from the almonds reduces appetite while the small amount of caffeine from the Green Tea seems to increase mental alertness and keep you “energized” at the party. Hopefully that might work for you… Strategy #2 – Don’t waste your time on any fancy cardio programs Listen, the bottom line over the holiday season is that your success depends almost entirely on your nutrition.

If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4 servings per day by the end of the week. And even if you think you are doing great by having 5 servings per day, you still need to double that (take 2-3 weeks to work your way up to 10 servings per day). Stick with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables – organic if possible. 4) Eat 1oz of almonds or walnuts per day (1/2 oz in the AM, and the other half in the afternoon).

In theory, it should work so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up. After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others. British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren’t previously exercising. (Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008). Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That’s a lot of exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great – I was positively surprised by the results. So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it works best in young men, who need the help the least! Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was huge. Check this out… The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds. The scientists think they know where things went sour. They classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the “Compensators” and the “Non-compensators”. The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result consumed an extra 268 calories per day, all but wiping out their cardio efforts. Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and scientists believe that was due to the huge “compensatory” increase in appetite experienced by this group. Does your appetite increase when you do slow cardio? If it does, research shows it will ruin your cardio efforts. So if your cardio program is not working for you, check your appetite and calorie intake to see if you are “compensating” for your efforts. If you are, you might be better off using a program of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence Training) for your weight loss efforts. As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research, interval training increases hormones called catecholamines. And increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-burning benefits. In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds with aerobic exercise. So again, check your appetite, and consider giving high-intensity exercise a go for your next workout program. Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity Turbulence Training. Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS New!!! Now there is a specific course just for women. |
