Rev Your Metabolism: Burn fat fast!
June 26, 2008
Hi everyone,
Here is another great workout that I came accross. This is from http://www.self.com/
Learn how to burn more fat, even while you are sitting on the couch!
The workout
These multitasking moves, designed by Kira Stokes, an instructor at Reebok Sports Club/NY in New York City, will create sleek, sexy curves and accelerate your metabolism. How? By building lean muscle, which burns about three times as many calories as fat. Twice-a-week strength sessions, in fact, can rev your engine so dramatically that your body will automatically zap up to 150 extra calories every day, even when you’re sitting on the couch. That can really add up!
You’ll need A pair of 5- to 8-pound dumbbells, a resistance band or piece of tubing tied into a loop and a stability ball
Try it Do two sets of 15 reps of each toner twice a week, giving your body a day to recover between strength sessions.
Include cardio Also do 40 minutes of heart-pumping activity three days a week. It will be challenging, but it’s the ideal dose to deliver a postexercise metabolism boost, a study in Obesity notes. Your body’s calorie-burning furnace will remain fired up for 24 to 48 hours after you swap your sneaks for sandals, says study author Gary Hunter, Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, adding, “You can burn 150 bonus calories a day.” Coupled with our toners, that’s 300 calories daily that are gone, poof, history, in addition to the tons you’ll torch doing the routine.

My Favorite 3 Abdominal Exercises
December 29, 2007
Top 10 Turbulence Training Videos of 2007
Exercise Videos: Six Pack Abs
#5. My Favorite 3 Abdominal Exercises
Hi, my this is Craig Ballantyne today I am going to show you my 3 favorite abdominal exercises for getting six pack abs ,but none of them involve laying on your back, and curling your shoulder blades off the ground, or doing sit-ups or doing any type of that movement where you do hundreds of repetitions, while lying on the ground.The first exercise that I am going to show you, is using the ab wheel, then I’m going to show you the stability ball jacknife, and then a crossbody mountain climber These exercises can be done in a circuit, for an excellent abdominal workout , that really works your abdominals, without putting a lot of stress on your lower back.
So the fist exercise , is the ab wheel . You’ve seen it on TV. You’re going to start in an upright position. Rollout. Sqeeze your abs , and come back up. Then in the circuit you can move immediately into what’s called a stability ball jackknife . Put your elbows up on the bench. Feet on the ball, Tuck in…and out. There’s many variations you can do with this exercise, so we’re are going to a one leg one, and then we’re going to do a bit of a rotation. So with one leg. Then with rotation, you’ll bring your legs up to one side, and then to the other. You can also do this with your hands on the ground, instead of your elbows on the bench. And add a pushup. All types of variations that you can do with that exercise. The final exercise, a mountain climber, with a cross body rotation.
So on this one, instead doing the regular mountain climber, where you just bring your knees straight ahead. You’re going to take your knee to your opposite arm. So that way you get a bit of rotation, and work your abdominals extra hard. So those are my three favorite abdominal exercises. They are exercises that you can do in a circuit. To get great results. Burn fat and get ripped abs.
If there is anything that I can do to help you out, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks so much for your support! 2008 is going to be a heck of a year,Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Author, Turbulence Training

Interval Training
December 29, 2007
Interval Training
Interval TrainingThis is Craig Ballantyne from Turbulence Training and TTmembers. I wanted to take this time to explain the interval training for fat loss portion of the program. Because it is very important for fat loss, but it is also a little bit complicated for people that have not done interval training before. Now generally I recomment that people use the bike for interval training. A stationary bike is nice and easy because you can transition between hard and easy exercise quite simply. And also you don’t have worry about falling off a treadmill. You don’t have to worry about advanced sprinting. You’ll need to actually warm up for sprinting. With a bike it’s very simple. It allows you to do a lot of work, by increasing the resistance, and taking it off quite easily.Let me show you an example using the treadmill for interval training.What I like people to do is to do interval training right after their bodywieght circuit. If you aren’t fit enough, you can do interval training, or cardio training on off days instead. We do interval training 3 days per week. So it fits in nicely right after the strength training cricuits, or other bodyweight workouts that you do later on in the phase. If you want to do it on other days, that is fine as well. But make sure you take full day of rest each week. So we are going to do a couple of the interval workouts from the preparation phase in this next segment.Click on the above video to watch the entire Interval Training for Fat Loss Video.About the

Turbulence Training: More Bodyweight Circuits
December 19, 2007
Turbulence Training: More Bodyweight Circuits
This is Craig Ballantyne from TurbulenceTraining and TTmembers. I am going to explain today what a bodyweight circuit is. We us bodyweight circuits in place of interval training because many people don’t have interval training machines at home, and don’t have the ability to go outside and do sprints.
So what we do for bodyweight circuit training is we use about 6 exercises, and we use 3 upperbody exercises, and we use 3 lowerbody exercises, alternating between the upperbody and the lowerbody exercises. So we’ll start off with the very easy lowerbody exercise and a very easy upperbody exercise. A Y squat is a nice general easy warmup exercise to start the circuit. Your hands are up in a Y position, push your hips back, and just do squatting. Since we’re doing circuits we are going to do about 15 repetitions, we want to obviously fatigue our ourselves with this circuit.
Then we are going into just a basic pushup exercise because it’s really serving as a warm-up exercise for us. We’ll do about 15 repetitions of that too because we are really using these at almost an advanced level, so you should be able to do about 15 pushups. If you can’t…If you are a beginner, then use kneeling pushups. For whatever you do, choose an exercise that’s not going to make you sore the next day.
So our third exercise in the circuit, we use something with the lunge, maybe with a bit of a pause down at the bottom to increase the difficulty. We’ll do 12 or 15 repetitions for each leg because again, because we’re working through the bodyweight circuit, using it as interval training rather than as strength training. Using exercises we can do a lot of repetitions for. Then we’ll going into another pushup. This time we’ll make it harder, so we’ll go with a decline pushup. We’ll do also about 15 repetitions, because after the 15 regular pushups, 15 decline pushups will be quite hard.
The we’ll go into 1 more, lower body exercise, this time I’d like to use something that uses a lot of movement, so I might use something like jumping jacks, and we’ll do about 60 repetitions of the jumping jacks, again because we’re using this as interval training, we’re not using it as strength training, it’s a good way to increase the sweat rate, and the get lots of calorie burned. We’ll finish off with a total body abdominal exercise, because there is so much work here on the chest, holding us in position, we’ll call this an upper body exercise. We’ll do mountain climbers.
We’re doing about 12 for each side. Maybe even 15 for each side. So that’s just a 6 exercise, very basis bodyweight circuit. Very little equipment needed. You don’t even need the bench. You can just put your feet up on anything. That way you can do interval type training, anywere, anytime. All you need is about a 6 x 6 area, and you can still get interval type cardio training, that will help boost your metabolism, and burn fat.
