You’re too smart to fall for gimmicks. You know the weight didn’t come on overnight. You know it’s not going to come off overnight.

And you know better than to fall for yet ANOTHER starvation diet. Or one of those ridiculous plans where they have you eat ONE food over and over and over.

You know the ones I’m talking about. Whether it be cookies, or grapefruits, or ice cream…you’re sick of that phony bologna.

But what if there was an eating plan based on real science that helped your melt off up to 15 pounds in just 30 days?

What if you were 15 pounds lighter by February using a healthy eating plan that you could actually STICK with for life?

Sound too good to be true?

Well, it’s not.

You see, my colleague Jayson Hunter is a REAL registered dietitian with REAL world experience. He has helped thousands of people all over the world lose weight fast with his Carb Rotation Diet.

Now I know what you’re thinking:

“Ughhh. Not another diet!”

Like I said, it’s an eating plan and not really a diet at all. In fact, on Jayson’s program you’ll be eating so much food you’ll always feel full and satisfied.

And best of all, it delivers BIG time results. Seriously, you can lose up to 15 pounds in just 30 days. But the difference between Jayson’s program and all the junk that’s out there in Cyber Space is this:

His Carb Rotation formula is based on actual research.

You’ve got to at least check it out. It really does work. It really is a program you can LIVE with. And it really is safe and healthy.

Losing Love Handles – 3 Keys to Removing Those Stubborn Love Handles

Posted October 11, 2008 by kevin

Tags: , , ,

One of the hardest parts of the body to lose excess body fat is around the mid section, known as the love handles, or spare tire. With all the exercises, all the long cardio workouts, all the painful diet restrictions, the fat remains.

Maybe I’ll try holding a dumbbell in each hand down at my sides and lean to the left then lean to the right a few hundred times. Guess what…..Wrong!

Losing love handles isn’t about targeting a specific body part. Nor is it about restrictive or crash diets that can pose serious health risks you would be wise to avoid. Article continues here==>

7 Weight Loss Transformation Secrets

Millions of men and women want to lose weight because they are sick of their excess body fat and low energy levels. If that sounds like you, then you need to join the Turbulence Training weight loss transformation contest.

There’s already been some powerful, emotional stories told in fitness
magazines, and folks from all over the world are helping one another to
finally change their bodies. Your weight loss transformation is going to be an amazing 12 weeks. So I thought this would be the best time to give you my Top 7 Transformation Tips to help you lose more weight in the next 12 weeks.

Here are my Top 7 Transformation Secrets that you can use to burn fat from all over your body with Turbulence Training.

Tip #1) Clean out the pantry

One of the biggest pitfalls in a weight loss program is added sugar and mindless snacking (especially between getting home from work and dinner).

Get rid of the junk. Toss it. Better the garbage can eats it than you do.

Tip #2) Stop doing slow boring cardio

Increase the intensity of your workouts and switch to interval training. And yes, even beginners can do interval training when using the metabolism- boosting short, burst workout system.

Tip # 3) Use professionally designed, structured workouts such as my Turbulence Training Workouts that have been featured in Men’s Health magazine

You should be in and out of your short, burst workouts in less than 45 minutes, three times per week. On the other 4 days of the week, stay active, getting at least a 30-minute walk in each day.

Tip #4) Set up home gym with ball, bench, and adjustable dumbells

That’s all you need. If you are feeling frisky, you can add a pull-up bar to your home gym.

But to change your body, you only need a little bit of equipment at home. You don’t need an expensive gym membership or one of those colossal home gyms, or even a pricey bowflex.

Your body doesn’t discriminate on price. It simply responds to the turbulence training you put on your body, and you can do that on the cheap.

Tip #5) Use short, burst Bodyweight Circuits at home instead of using cardio machines.

Choose 3 lower body exercises and 3 upper body exercises. Alternate between upper and lower body bodyweight exercises. Watch my youtube video on circuit training for more details.

Tip #6) Plan, shop, and prepare your food

Finding the right nutrition program is CRITICAL to success, and so is planning. You can’t out-train a bad diet, but you can out-plan bad habits. So invest 2 hours on the weekend to prepare as many of your fat burning
meals as possible for the week ahead.

Tip #7) Get Social Support

This is the most important Weight Loss Secret that no one pays attention to.

But the bottom line is…you can’t do this on your own.

You need support from others to stick to your workouts, to make the right diet choices day-in and day-out and to have someone prop you up when you are feeling down and also to “call you out” when you are feeling like cutting corners.

Get social support on your side today with help from Turbulence Training.

Put these 7 Secrets to use today and you can lose 14-30 pounds in 12 weeks just like our past Transformation Contest Winners. And please refer your friends to the contest. You’ll be supporting them and helping them change their bodies & their lives.

I can’t wait to hear about your results in the Turbulence Training transformation contest. For details visit Turbulence Training Contest.

Swedish Weight Loss Secret

For years I’ve been yelling and screaming about the importance of online social support (i.e. having Internet weight loss buddies).

And finally, after all these years, the Swedes have proven this weight loss
secret (and no, it’s not just “eat fewer Swedish meatballs”).

Researchers at the world famous Karolinska Institute wanted to find out why some men and women succeed at weight loss while others don’t.

They studied many men and women using an Internet Weight Loss Club, and found that the people who used the site the MOST also LOST the most weight.

That means that going online for social support in your weight loss program is one of the most IMPORTANT things you can do.

You might not have the perfect home life, office environment, or workout buddies, but chances are you will find someone to help you on an Internet weight loss forum.

And the truth is, you won’t find another Internet Weight Loss Club as
positive and helpful as you’ll find in the Turbulence Training Member’s
area. Just listen to what this Turbulence Training member has to say…

“I have been using Turbulence Training for about 3 months now and am
ecstatic with the results. The workouts require minimal equipment, you get great nutrition information and you get access to the online forum which is invaluable. Being able to actually communicate on almost a daily basis with the person who created the program is one of the best parts of TT, and there are plenty of other people on the site with tons of useful information who may have gone through similar experiences.

Since starting the TT program I have dropped 15 lbs, more than 5% bodyfat and over 3″ from my waist. I feel great and my energy levels are through the roof. I even feel this extra energy spilling over into other aspects of my life and making them better as well. All I can say is thanks CB not just for the fitness change but a great lifestyle change.” Derek Kendig

We’re there to help you lose weight and inches.

You can try out Turbulence Training for a full 3 weeks! That’s 21 days!

The Wonders of Incorporating High Intensity Resistance Training

Posted August 12, 2008 by kevin

Girl exercising

By Carlo Alvarez

We’ve all heard the old adage, “The more you give, the more you get.” Though at times we don’t get rewarded for all of our hard work, there is at least one situation in which this saying holds 100% true — high intensity resistance training (HIT), or for cardiovascular training, high intensity interval training (HIIT).

HIT is weight training that allows for no more than 8-12 reps, for anywhere from one to three maximal effort sets. HIIT is performing aerobic exercise at an interval at 90-100% of max heart rate for a designated period of time on a cardiovascular machine with a 3:1 rest to work ratio. HIIT should be performed at the end of resistance training sessions. It affects the anaerobic energy pathway but has implications for the burning of fat.

This new type of training exemplifies a concept that has been in existence since the dawn of physical exercise and training. It is the idea that “to achieve maximal gains, maximal effort must be given on every rep, of every set, of every exercise.” The benefit of this type of training is that you can get tremendous results with relatively short workouts.

The only problem is that some people simply don’t want to work that hard. But if you are one of the few that has a vision and passion to not let a lot of sweat get in your way — than HIT and HIIT are the highways to achieving ideal health. (And the small rests in between exercise do make it more bearable.)

What are the benefits of giving it your all during your sessions? Better bone density and joint integrity, metabolic increases, improved muscle strength, muscle size increases, and better pulmonary/cardiovascular function.

Preserving bone minerals and joint stability is important for anyone, from athletes to elderly folks. HIT and HIIT force bone osteoblasts to form new bone and the body to adapt in the most dramatic ways producing the most positive results. According to Nelson et al., “High-intensity strength training exercises are an effective and feasible means to preserve bone density.”1

Exercise has always been important for achieving ideal health and body image. Through exercise you not only burn calories during the exercise, you improve basal metabolic rate through preservation and building of muscle. The higher your basal metabolic rate, the more your body goes to work on stored fat while you are sleeping, sitting on a couch, or relaxing by the pool.

What is exciting is the HIT training has been found to be one of the best, if not the best form of exercise for improving the rate at which you burn calories even when you are not exercising. That’s because the exercise is so intense when you are performing it, the maintenance and retaining of muscle tissue requires a lot of work — and the best part is, it all happens when you rest! Performing HIIT afterwards will further boost your basal metabolism.

With regular resistance training, it is not uncommon to hit plateaus in the actual building of muscle size and strength. With HIT, the “strength plateau” or a period when no gains are made, rarely occurs because of all the ways to increase intensity.

So, HIT is superior in this area as well. Whether it’s through more weight, reps, range of motion, slower speed of movement, or rest between sets, your muscle gains will skyrocket.

While HIT and HIIT are intense forms of exercise, they have even been evaluated and found to be effective forms of exercise in cardiac and pulmonary patients. According to researchers in the American Journal of Cardiology, “Interval training provides an effective means to improve the cardiovascular fitness and health status of highly functional patients with coronary artery disease. We also revealed that interval training improves anaerobic tolerance to a greater extent than the traditional exercise training model without increasing the risk to the patient.”2

While this evaluation states HIT and HIIT are beneficial and safe for highly functioning patients, programs can be tailored to individual fitness levels. It is imperative that anyone wishing to begin these types of programs consult a physician to determine whether or not they are healthy enough for exercise.

If cleared, recognizing your own intensity level and gradually improving is the way to go.

3 Keys to Ripped Abs

Tags: , ,

No matter how much you want to believe it, doing thousands of
crunches is not going to take off any inches from your waist or fat
from your abs.

There are times when I’ve gone to the gym and completed an entire
workout in the same amount of time that others spend on only
abdominal exercises. It’s ridiculous.

None of these people are any further ahead than they would be if
they used total body movements and made every exercise an abdominal
exercise with the Turbulence Training lifting technique.

Turbulence Training for Abs – A Brief Review

Posted July 20, 2008 by kevin
Categories: Turbulence Training

Tags: ,

Turbulence Training for Abs Home Abdominal Workouts is written and developed by Craig Ballantyne, Men’s Health Magazine Home Fitness Expert, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, and will be re-released Monday July 21, 2008. I have been fortunate enough to have received a review copy so I can share with my readers of what this ab workout training program is all about.

Turbulence Training For Abs Home Abdominal Workouts

Turbulence Training For Abs Home Abdominal Workouts

The basic approach for Turbulence Training is strength conditioning and interval training. For those of you not familiar with the term interval training, interval training is the alternating of brief periods of higher intensity workouts followed by a slightly longer period of lighter activity. As an example to illustrate: spinning, peddling on a stationery bike at a higher intensity for 30 seconds, followed by a slower peddling for 90 seconds performed in 3 sets.

What interval training accomplishes is to burn more fat calories and burn for longer periods even after your workouts. There is no need for special equipment, and by alternating workout routines, you reduce the risk of injuries caused by repetitive exercises. Interval training also allows you to increase your training intensity without suffering from burn out or over training.

This is what I found refreshing in the Turbulence Training for Abs Workouts. The variety of exercises and workout routines. Having lived a sedentary lifestyle for much too long, this program comes with a beginner fitness level course. Strong emphasis is on taking it easy in the beginning, but most importantly, consulting with a physician and getting a physical. There is also an intermediate fitness level and advance fitness levels.

Turbulence Training for Abs Home Abdominal Workouts is a downloadable ebook that consists of 80 pages containing 14 chapters that includes a goal setting and fat loss contract, fitness level guidelines and workouts and exercises. Proper form and techniques are illustrated of all the exercises in TT for Abs, but should be learned from a personal trainer or certified conditioning specialist for your individual needs.

There are:

  • 30 ab exercises
  • 16 leg exercises
  • 13 back exercises
  • 13 chest exercises
  • and 5 shoulder and arm exercises

This leaves for quite a variety of routines with little chance of burn out or boredom.

There are plenty of exercises and workout routines that do not involve any equipment, maybe just some light dumbbells. However, as one advances through the fitness levels, some equipment will be needed. Such as a stability ball, inclined bench, pull up bar, and a medicine ball. Of course these are needed in the advanced fitness levels.

These workout routines are designed to be performed in under 1 hour, just 45 minutes, for only 3 days a week. The combination of strength and interval training is proven to melt away fat and build lean muscle.

Also included, as bonuses:

  • Turbulence Training Advanced Nutrition Guide – I’m really big on healthy and nutritious foods. I just haven’t learned what the best food combinations are for fat burning and muscle gain. This nutrition guide solves that for me. It even comes with sample meal plans.
  • Turbulence Training Bodyweight Abs – A resource for ab workouts without using any equipment that can be done at home or at a hotel.
  • Turbulence Training Motivational Secrets – What you can do to NOT cheat on your diet or quit your workouts.
