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.

A nice bodyweight circuit you can do at home in place of interval training to burn fat.
So the first exercise that I am going to show you is a Y squat followed by a spiderman pushup. Then we are going to a reverse lunge, and then a prone tuck in with push-up, and the 5th exercise is a prisoner sit squat, so it will be on the balls of the feet. Then the 6th exercise is what is called a cross body mountain climber. I am going to do 6 repetitions for each, just so that I can show you the exercise. For you, you can do 8-12, or 15 repetitions per exercise depending on how strong and fit you are. Going through the circuit with no rest between exercises. Rest 1 minute at the end, and repeat the up to 3 times.The first exercise is the Y squat with the hands up in the Y position.
Next up spiderman push-up. Reverse lunge, you can keep your hands at your side, or do them prisoner style to increase the work on your upper back. Keep the elbows back, and shoulder blades together. Whenever you are doing an exercise with your hands up in the prisoner position, you have to keep your elbows together. Your elbows back, and shoulder blades together. Otherwise there is no point in keeping your arms up there. Prisoner sit squat on the balls of the feet. Last one is the cross body mountain climber.
Ok so you can see how a lot of this stuff involves forward flexion for the abdominals, but also a bit of hip flexion, there is a lot of work done by the quadriceps as well in the workout. Also a lot of pushing. So not a lot of upper back or hamstrings, so make sure and get some extra exercises in after, or in another workout to make up for that. That’s it for our fist circuit workout TTMembers.com Looking forward to bringing you more in the future.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! 2008 is going to be a heck of a year,Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Author, Turbulence Training

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.

#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…

“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!”

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

Hi, my this is Craig Ballantyne. This is a bodyweight series to build a better butt. Exercises are going to work you glutes, and they are all going to be done standing up. The first exercise that we are going to do is the wide stanced squat. Wide stance allows you to push your hips back more which helps you work the back or your legs more when you squat. So the first exercise just pushing your hips back, squatting down, squeeze your glutes and come back up. See that from the side, with the wide stance, you push your hips back nice and deep, at the bottom, squeeze your glutes, and come back up.The next exercise we are going to do is a weird one called waiter’s bow. With this one, take one hand, pinch your skin of the lower back, take the other hand and put it across your chest, and what you are going to do is bow forward, as if you are a waiter at a table, and then squeeze your glutes to come back up. Only go so far over as you can while still squeezing an inch of skin, of your lower back. At the bottom with my hips pushed back, squeeze my glutes, and come back up. So you are going to feel a stretch in your hamstrings as well if you are inflexible.
The next exercise that we are going to do is a split squat. One foot forward, one foot back. Also known as a stationary lunge. You are just going to drop your hips straight down, and then squeeze the glute, and the quad of that front leg, and come back up. Just use your back leg for balance. Drop your hips straight down, and come back up. From the side, drop your hips down, not forward, drop them straight down, squeeze your glute, come back up.
The next exercise, just a little more dynamic, we are going to do a reverse lunge, step back, drop your hip down, squeeze the glute, pull yourself back up. Down, up, just like that.
Next exercise we are going to do a step up, stand far back from the bench. To many people stand too close, you use too much of your quadriceps to come up. So stand back, Drive through your heal, and use the back of your leg, to come up, and back down, and up. Unlike the first repetition, go really slow on the way down, and use that back of the upper leg. Step back nice and far, don’t go straight down. Again, pull yourself up using your glute, and then you come back down.
The last exercise, we are just going to switch it over, do what’s called a Bulgarian split squat, or a split squat with your back foot elevated. Again drop your hips straight down, squeeze your glute, and come back up. Down, and up. Just like that. So that is a progression of exercise that are from easy to harder, and also a set of exercises that you can do as a circuit. So you can either use the weights as well, or you can do them again, all as one circuit and go through that from easiest to hardest. Do that 12 repetitions per exercise, 8-12, and do that up to 3 times, with no rest in between exercises, and a minute at the end of each circuit. That’s a beginner bodyweight series to build a better butt.
