The 5 Laws of New School Fat Loss

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Author, Turbulence Training

I've just spent another weekend explaining what Turbulence Training
is to new potential clients. By the end of the day I had my speech
memorized, and decided to turn it into a new article for you called,
"The 5 Laws of New School Fat Loss".

Here goes...

Turbulence Training is a structured routine that I came up with
that allows you to get the most results in the least amount of
time, no matter what your goals.

This revolutionary new workout system evolved from both scientific
principles as well as personal experience.

And it originally came to me in a dream in University. (Just kidding.)

The truth is that during my graduate years at University, I was
searching for an efficient and effective way to stay lean while I
was stuck in the lab for up to 16 hours a day doing my thesis.

Obviously, I didn't have a lot of time to exercise...

So I based a new program on what I had read in hundreds of fat loss
research studies, as well as my countless past workouts that I had
recorded faithfully over the years.

And from that research and from my own personal workouts and results,
Turbulence Training was invented and have given rise to the 5 Laws
of New School Fat Loss.

Law #1) Use intense resistance training

NOTE: This doesn't just mean lifting heavy weights...it could also
mean doing difficult bodyweight exercises or even explosive exercises
(like I use in the TT circuits).

Here's why...

Intense resistance training stimulates what is called muscle protein
turnover. This is important for two reasons:

a) It causes your body to burn extra calories and belly fat when you
are not training (so while you recover, etc.).

b) It stimulates muscle re-modeling.

That means it will help you maintain your muscle (and sculpt your
body) even while you are eating fewer calories and burning fat.

However, if you rely only on light weight & high reps, you won't
keep that muscle and your metabolism will decrease.

Law #2) Switch from slow cardio to interval training.

Research shows that interval training is more effective for burning
belly fat than regular cardio - even when you don't change your diet!

Interval training is what separates people with 20% fat from those
men and women with the lean, athletic, sexy abs body type.

Interval training also builds better sport conditioning and
"everyday fitness" that is more practical in life.

For example, how often do you ever need to run 5 miles? Pretty much
never, right?

But how often do you need to climb a few flights of stairs or chase
one of your kids? Those are every day demands...and will be best
improved by interval training, not 30 minutes on the elliptical machine.

Law #3) Use non-competing supersets to do more work in less time.

By using the Turbulence Training system of non-competing supersets,
where you do 2 unrelated exercises back to back, you'll avoid
muscle fatigue and get more work done in less time.

Therefore, you'll burn more calories compared to traditional workouts.

This is one of the major reasons Turbulence Training is so efficient
and effective.

Law #4) Use Total Body Workouts

Skip the classic steroid-bodybuilder method of doing one body part
per day. That will only give you overuse injuries and a big body set
up for more injuries & chronic pain in the future.

Not what you want, right?

Of course not. So switch to three total-body workouts per week,
using a variety of exercises, and when possible, using a variety of
training methods - from dumbbells to kettlebells to bodyweight
exercises. That's what you'll get in the latest TT workouts here:

>>> TAKE THE TURBULENCE TRAINING $5 Trial <<<

Rule #5) Change Your Workout Every 4 Weeks

The Turbulence Training workouts are changed every 4 weeks, and
sometimes every 3 weeks for advanced results.

Why?

To avoid the dreaded fat loss plateau. If you've been doing the same
workout over and over for more than 4 weeks, your results will slow
down and eventually come to a complete stop.

You MUST change your program...and that's why I create not just one,
but TWO new Turbulence Training workouts every month for TT Members,
so that they will always have a new program to keep their fat loss
results moving along.

In fact, the Turbulence Training System is simple to adapt and easy
to modify for the creation of an endless number of workouts - a
great thing to know if you are a personal trainer or simply someone
that loves the body transformation results of a fast workout.

Whew!

Now a lot of this info was new - and even shocking - to the people I
spoke too yesterday. They were still a little skeptical. And that's
fine, it's totally natural.

So I suggested they try out the program for a few weeks, and you can
do that too with the 21-day trial here:

>>> TAKE THE TURBULENCE TRAINING $5 Trial <<<

For less than 5 bucks (that's less than the price of an apple, a
banana, and a water here at the hotel!), you can try out the 5 Laws
of Fat Loss and the Turbulence Training program for 3 weeks.

I promise you'll love the program and the fast fat loss results you
are getting. And if for any reason you don't, just let me know and
you won't pay a penny more.

Say goodbye to the old-school workouts and fat loss plateaus and use
these 5 laws of new school fat loss to finally get results.

Now you know what really works,

5 Big Fat Burning Tips

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Author, Turbulence Training

I was just reviewing a big file of all the new exercise, diet, and
research proven fat burning tips I wrote down for 2009, and I
wanted to share 5 BIGGIES that can help your clients get more
results AND make your awesome workers even better.

So here we go:

#5 - Recent research shows shuttle-running is tougher than running
intervals in a straight line...

...so if you want to burn fat faster than ever, make sure you
incorporate old-school shuttle runs (i.e. classic suicide type
drills) into your fat burning interval programs.

You'll find these new shuttle runs in the latest TT programs,
including the new TT Bootcamps 2.0 System.

#4 - Use a food log.

"According to Men's Health (Feb 2009, p 38), keeping a food log
helped subjects lose 3.5 more pounds than subjects that didn't keep
the log."

#3 - Hit a personal best in each workout.

This is an oldie, but a goodie. There are a few reasons you need to
do this:

a) First of all, everyone loves progress, and if you can achieve a
personal record in each workout (i.e. could be # of pushups, plank
time, etc.), then you will feel a HUGE sense of accomplishment.

b) More personal bests = more results. Plain and simple.

c) You will get addicted to the workouts, and always want to come
back for more attempts at breaking records.

#2 - Get a trainer or join a bootcamp.

"According to Men's Health magazine, (Dec, 2009), beginners who
work with trainers get more results than beginners who workout by
themselves". Guaranteed.

#1 - Read a motivational quote every morning.

I promise you that it will elevate your motivation and inspire you
to reach your fat loss goals.

Here's the first motivational quote you can read tomorrow morning:

"Be loud and proud of the healthy changes you are making in your
life. There are many more folks secretly wishing someone will take
charge and be a healthy role model for them. It might not happen
overnight, but if you continue to lead by healthy example - without
preaching or being condescending - you can build an entourage that
will help you reach the next level." - Craig Ballantyne

Those are 5 unique tips to help you lose fat.

5 Nutrition Tips for Fat Loss

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Author, Turbulence Training

This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is more important than
your workouts when it comes to fat loss.

And since diet is more important than exercise, I've decided to
spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with
these 5 diet secrets:

1) Your nutrition program doesn't have to be extreme.

Hold up on making any extreme diet changes. Make sure the nutrition
plan you've chosen is sustainable. Simple diet changes go a lot
farther than you might think.

Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go
on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?

2) Get the junk out of the house.

If it's in your house, you'll eat it...and trust me, this goes for
me too. When I visit a relative's house for holiday, I always eat the
treats they have sitting around. That's why I keep the junk out of
my house.

So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home.

Success is that simple.

3) Fill in the "diet-killing" gap.

For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and dinner.
For others, it's between dinner and bedtime, but for almost
everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer from mindless
eating.

So make sure you have alternatives...as soon as you come home from
work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That will keep
you full on a small amount of calories.

After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate
protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. That will satisfy
you.

4) Chew your food 5-10 times before swallowing.

Most people eat so fast they only about 1-2 times. You'll really
notice a difference and you'll slow your eating so you feel full.

5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal.

American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of studies
showing that this will help you reduce the food you eat.
Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn't seem to do the same
trick.

So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have for you this year.

Stay tuned for proven secrets to help you lose fat in 2010.

Fat Loss - 1 Mistake All Women Make

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Author, Turbulence Training

*

Following the cardio mentality and depending on the cardio
confessional is the biggest mistake that all women make when it
comes to fat loss. Let me explain...

On Saturday morning I was walking home from the gym when I passed
by a young women - about 28 years old - who was talking on her
iPhone.

And I heard her say, "I'm going for a walk now to get some exercise
because I'm going out for a bad dinner tonight."

And I just wanted to yell, "No - no - no - no - no! That doesn't
work. It never has, it never will."

You can't out-cardio a bad diet.

Every woman I've ever met has made this mistake and had that
"cardio confessional mindset" at one time or another - and it goes
for most of the guys I know, too.

Unfortunately, at best, this poor girl will probably burn an extra
300-500 calories during her walk - if it's a really, really long
walk. But at dinner, she's likely to eat 400-700 calories during
the appetizer or consume that in liquid calories alone!

(NOTE: By "bad dinner", I'm guessing she meant a high-calorie meal,
and not a pity date with a deadbeat ex-boyfriend.)

The bottom line is that a single cardio session will not beat a bad
diet.

Now you might be thinking, "At least it's better than nothing."

But is it?

Remember, as I've mentioned in the past, one British study found
that some people OVEREAT in response to cardio exercise.

So when dinner comes around, this poor girl might think, "Oh, I did
that long walk today, so I can treat myself to a bigger dinner or
dessert."

The only thing that comes close to beating a bad diet is interval
training and resistance training.

Back in 2007, an Australian research study on interval training was
getting a LOT of press for the surprising results. In the study,
women who did interval training were able to lose belly fat without
changing their diet.

In fact, one subject, named Louise, said this:

"My diet was pretty bad back then, with lots of sweets, lots of
junk food...doughnuts and sugar -- it was awful."

And yet by the end of this study, interval training helped Louise
burn 8kg of fat in just 15 weeks - WITHOUT changing her diet.

Perhaps it IS POSSIBLE for you to out-train a bad diet - but only
if you use interval training.

And that's just another reason the best short, burst fat burning
workouts are based on this specific type of fat burning exercise.

So here's what you need to do:

1) Give up the "Cardio Confessional Mentality" and understand that
you can't "out-cardio a bad diet".

2) Stick to your simple lifestyle nutrition plan 90% of the time
and then enjoy your 10% reward meals GUILT-FREE.

3) Use interval training to burn the fat and resistance training to
sculpt your body.

It's that simple - a 3-step system for fat loss success that is
guaranteed to work every time.

Here's the program that shows you EXACTLY what to do:

Enjoy guilt-free eating and fat loss with this mindset.
