Interval TrainingThis is Craig Ballantyne from TurbulenceTraining 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.

Top 10 Turbulence Training Videos of 2007
December 30, 2007
Tis the season to give…so I wanted to share with you the top 10 fat burning Turbulence Training workouts that we’ve put up on Youtube this year.
Next year, I want to add 2 new TT lessons per week to Youtube, so send us all your video requests and we’ll help you burn fat faster than ever with our exercise instructions.
Now on with the countdown…
#10 - TT in the Pool Here’s me giving some Pool Workout suggestions while on a trip to New Zealand…this was filmed in Auckland, while visiting an old buddy who works for Cirque du Soleil.
Watch: Pool Workout
#9 - TT Hotel Room Workout before I went and walked 30 km around the beautiful city of Sydney.
Watch: Hotel Room Workout
#8 - Fat Loss Interval TrainingHopefully this video answers a lot of your questions about the right type of “cardio” for fat loss. Watch: Interval Training
#7 - TT Bodyweight 500This pair of videos will likely shoot to #1 in 2008, thanks to the promotion MensHealth has planned for this program. But for now, be among the few insiders who have watched and tried the TT Bodyweight 500.
Watch: Bodyweight 500
#6 - Bodyweight CircuitA nice bodyweight circuit you can do at home in place of interval training to burn fat.
Watch: Circuit Training
#5 - My favorite ab exercies You can do these at home: Ab Exercises
#4 - Bodyweight Butt ExercisesYeah, a little different than normal, but this one is for the ladies I guess…
Watch: Butt exercises
#3 - Pushup Variations
One of our earliest vids, as you might be able to tell…this one is almost a year old, but its a few pushups you might not have done before.
Watch: Pushups
#2 - Back Exercises at Home
This is one of my most educational videos, since so many people train at home without access to a pullup bar or pulldown station, so you need all the ideas you can get for your back exercises.
And here they are: Back Exercises
#1 - And the winner is, the “300″ video.
First, I want everyone to know that I didn’t come up with this workout. I only filmed it for Men’s Health to put on their site.
Anyways, here it is…help me push it to 500,000 views this year, and then over 1 Million in ‘08. That would be cool. So give it a view and then tell all your exercise buddies to watch it too…
Watch the 300 Workout
So there you go…I hope you like those vids, share them with your friends, family, and co-workers, and help them lose fat and make exercise fun again - all while getting your workouts done faster than ever.
Here’s to 2008 being your best year ever. If there is anything I can do to help you out, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks so much for your support!

“I have been using it for about 6 weeks now. I have reached my lowest weight yet and more importantly I didn’t starve or over work myself. I can now do 10 pushups on my toes for each set and I have noticed muscle development in my chest which I could not get before TT. At 46 years old I feel that I can reach a level of fitness that I didn’t think was possible and I don’t have to be a slave to working out. It is true that your workouts can be done in 45 minutes which leaves a lot more time for enjoying life.”
Cindy Casella
“I went from 15.6% down to 11.7% and MAINTAINED my lean mass (and strength actually increased a little). The TT for Muscle workouts are awesome. I have worked muscles I didn’t know I had and I didn’t expect to get stronger, but I have! To date, I am 5 lbs more muscular than I was 5 weeks ago - that’s not bad for a guy who’ll turn 38 next week!”

Interval Training: High Intensity
December 19, 2007
Exercise Videos for Fat Loss
This is Craig Ballantyne from TurbulenceTraining and TTmembers Today we are going to cover High Intensity Interval Training for fat loss . You’ve probably heard of Intensity Interval Training because it’s been used in a lot of programs these days for fat loss cause smart trainers know that it works a lot better than slow boring cardio. You get results faster, with much shorter workouts, and you actually get results, compared to some of these cardio workouts that aren’t getting you any results at all.High Intensity Interval Training means any type of spring exercise that lasts from about 0-90 seconds. Anything longer than about 2 minutes can get into what’s called aerobic interval training. Generally High Intensity Interval Training sessions are about 90 seconds or less.So usually even about 15-30 or even 45 seconds. That just means that you sprint for that designated period of time. Then you go down to a very easy period of exercise. That’s one of the big mistakes people make when they are doing their interval training, they don’t drop the intensity down low enough during the recovery period.If you are running at 10 miles per hour during your interval, and you drop it down only 8 miles per hour, then you’re really just still doing cardio. You’re not doing High Intensity Interval Training because that will not allow you to recover, and you won’t be able to sprint hard again at 10 miles per hour. So make sure you go from hard to easy.That means from going from a sprint, to a walk. It’s OK to walk during interval training. That’s the whole purpose so that you can work really hard.We are going to start with our warm up. Then we will get into our first High Intensity Interval Training.
So after I am fully warmed up, as you see in the exercise videos above, doing our regular specific 5-10 minute warm-up, then we’ll go into our High Intensity Interval Training. So now I am sprinting. This is a pace that I can maintain for 30 -45 seconds. I’ll do my interval after 45 seconds. I’ll take it all the way down to a very low recovery pace. So all the way down to 3.5 MPH on the treadmill. Make sure that you’re walking. So it doesn’t matter if you run you intervals at 8 MPH or 10MPH or even 12 MPH, you have to come down to this walking pace. That’s one interval. You’ll do about 6 intervals in a workout, and finish with a cooldown. That’s High Intensity Interval Training. It’s going to give you more results in terms of your fat loss program, also in sports specific conditioning. It’s also going to make you fitter for your everyday activities.

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.
