Turbulence Training 2010 Fat Burning Frenzy
Hi,
Yesterday I told you about the Turbulence Training $1,000 transformation contest by Craig Ballantyne. Today I wanted to give you a sample of what Craig has in store for all the turbulence training members for 2010. It will be the year for permanently getting rid of that excess bodyfat.
That all being said here is what Craig has in store for his turbulence training members.
2010 is going to be a big year for you…partly because of the amazing 24 Turbulence Training fat burning and body sculpting programs coming your way.
These workouts - like TT Addiction and TT Adrenaline - are going to be so cool, so fun, and so effective that you’ll have your best year ever.
Two programs will be released each month - and the tentative schedule is below…
Sit back and check out my calendar for 2010…I’ve got a few trips planned I wanted to tell you about, but mostly I couldn’t wait to get you pumped up for these amazing workouts that are on the way…
And if you aren’t already a TT Member click the link
Now for all the cool stuff you’ll experience with me in 2010…
January 2010
We’re going to kick-off the New Year with a special audio program…I’m recording it this week, and it will be one of the most powerful motivation and inspirational fat burning audio programs you’ve ever heard.
To go along with the motivation, TT Members also have access to the January programs already. You can now download “TT 2K10″ and the “TT Beginner Total Torso Training” programs in the member’s area.
Then on January 15th, that’s the last day to enter the 7th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest. That’s your chance to win up to $1000 just for losing your belly fat.
And right after that I’ll be in Tampa Bay, Florida for Joel Marion’s first ever Transformation Domination Live event. I’ll be leading a TT workout on the Saturday morning. See you there.
Speaking of Transformations, you’re going to get a bonus 3rd workout this month called “TT Transformation“. Based on the most popular programs used by our contest winners (including TT for Buff Dudes & Hot Chicks), this is going to be an instant classic.
Finally, to finish off a busy month, I hope to launch the TT-TV program. We’ve filmed a few really cool episodes, but we have so much going on they haven’t been edited yet…but soon, I promise.
February
Look out Miami, because I’ll be there for the Super Bowl and back again two weeks later…The Super Bowl weekend is going to be insane, and I’ll be filing workout and video reports from South Beach. Look for me on TV - you never know.
Then on February 14th, we’re going to celebrate Ballantyne’s Day with some type of crazy Turbulence Training promotion…I’ve got 6 weeks to come up with something good…
And then there are the TT Workouts of the Month:
1) TT Adrenaline
2) TT 15-minute KB Express
What’s TT Adrenaline all about? Well, it’s about skyrocketing your adrenaline of course, and that is just one hormone in the body that helps the fat burning process…you’re going to love Adrenaline.
March
I’ll star the month in Washington, D.C. - at my friend Yanik’s seminar - and finish the month with a quick work trip to Vegas (low-key, I’m sure). After all, I have to prepare for some big news happening in April…
But first, big workout news for March:
1) I hope we’ll release the first “follow along” Turbulence Training DVD workout set. We’re just finishing up filming the TT for Abs Follow Along programs, and it should be ready for you sometime in March. Hopefully earlier.
2) The first TT workout of the month will be the follow up to another TT classic, so look for the “The Big 6 Circuit” to help you burn fat with a fast circuit workout - featuring a new, explosive 6th component.
3) The TT Bootcamp 2K10 Program will feature all new NO-equipment bootcamp workouts and more tips to help personal trainers help more clients achieve maximum body transformations and fat burning.
April
So my big plans for April are to move to New York City for 3 months…I found a real good deal on a sublet in the Upper West Side so it will be a fun little adventure.
Maybe Bally the Dog can get a role on Broadway.
Again, I’ll be filing lots of video and workout reports from the Big Apple, plus researching what the gyms and fitness experts there have to offer…and of course, commuting out to Wachtung, New Jersey to train at The Renegade Gym with Jay Ferruggia.
And to add to the excitement, the 7th TT Transformation Contest will be finishing in mid-April, so we’ll be crowing a Men’s and Women’s Champion.
Nothing in the TT world is more rewarding than reading the essays that come in with your entries. I just want to thank you for all the effort you put into your Transformations - it’s really cool to see how hard you work and the powerful changes you go through. So thank YOU!
And to give back, you’ll be getting two awesome workouts in April:
1) TT Addiction (trust me, it’s healthier than it sounds)
2) TT Booty for Life 2K10
May
Well, for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere, we’ll all have Spring Fever and be ready to kick-off the “unofficial” start to the summer with big holiday weekends?
So will you be ready? I hope so, especially with all of the great workouts on the way…
Plus, the 8th TT Transformation Contest SHOULD be a go for May…unless something changes, we’ll keep rocking 3 contests per year…stay tuned for details.
I’m not sure how I’ll be rocking out my first Memorial Day Weekend in the USA, but I know you’ll be rocking these two workouts:
1) TT Hardcore 2K10 - The sequel to one of the top 3 most popular - if not THE most popular - TT workout of all time…can I top the original? I guess we’ll find out…
2) TT Bodyweight Cardio 3.o
June
Well, my little NYC adventure will be coming to an end, and hopefully I worked enough to create the TT Certification…that’s the plan…so keep kicking my butt to get this done.
I even had this cool logo made, so I better use it for something.
When I finally get back to Toronto, I’ll be heading to my good friend Vince Del Monte’s wedding…should be a great time…lots of fitness experts there celebrating, and I’m sure we’ll be filing some (embarrassing) wedding videos for everyone to enjoy. Congrats to Vince and Flavia, looking forward to your big day.
And don’t worry, you’ll be getting some good gifts in June as well:
1) TT Bodyweight Bodybuilding 2.0
2) TT Hybrid Trisets Fat Burning Workout
July
Well, I’m not sure if I’ll be doing much in July, just relaxing back in Canada and enjoying the finals of the World Cup. You’ll be getting…
1) TT for Runners
2) TT for Meatheads “Old School”
Wow, could these programs be any different? But both are in high-demand…so I know you’ll be looking forward to them.
August
I am officially out of ideas as to what I’m going to be doing for the rest of the year, so I’m just going to pump you up with the names of the coming workouts…For August, you’ll get…
1) TT 2K10 Abs
2) TT 3-Day Depletion Workouts
September
1) TT Gain Muscle Lose Fat 2K10
2) TT Female Bodyweight Bodysculpting 2K10
October
I might be taking a Secret Agent Trip this month, I’ll let you know - if I’m allowed - when I confirm…but the workouts should be:
1) The TT Bodyweight 500 2K10
2) DB Mass at Home 2K10
November
1) TT Yoga (I’ve been trying to do this for over 8 months…hopefully I get this one done by November…or sometime in 2K10)
2) TT Tempo Training
December
1) TT 15-Minute Express 2K10
2) TT Christmas Circuits (I have no idea what these will be, but it sounds cool, right?)
Whew…
And that brings us back to planning for 2011…(I’ve already got 7 programs listed out for 2011).
BUT…
Is there anything that you’d like to see this year or next?
Please let me know in the comments section below.
Looking forward to your best year ever in 2010,
Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

4 Useless Exercises You Probably Do
4 Common But Useless Fattburning Exercises
You may be wasting your time in the gym or at home if you are trying to shape your body or get rid of bodyfat.
Most people are. That is when it comes to exercise for getting rid of bellyfat and getting into better shape.
I was in the gym today (nothing new... ; ) and I saw all 4 of these exercises being performed by various gym members (again... nothing new.)
And they are useless for 99% of the people on the planet.
Here they are...
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 1: Walking Dumbbell Lunges
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Okay ladies, this one is for you... although I see guys do this exercise as well.
This is where you take a pair of dumbbells and kneel with one leg, then the other, and so-on, walking around the gym as you go.
The idea behind this exercise is to work the butt, and to some extent the thighs... but it's a joke. It's something invented by trainers who should know better.
If you want to build and tone your butt, exercise one leg at a time. Lunges are a great exercise for this, but save your energy. Do them on a Smith Machine or with a barbell. Work one leg at a time, too. Do not alternate legs. This just wears you out aerobically before it has a chance to get to your glutes.
Here's how I perform lunges: On a Smith Machine, with pretty heavy weights... one leg at a time. I will do 2-3 sets, or do them in my 7 Minute Body-style workout fashion. I will finish one leg (and one butt cheek) before moving to the other leg.
Why? Again, to focus on the muscle more intensely and to avoid turning a leg/butt workout into a cardio session.
Jon Benson covers exactly how to work the butt area for the best results in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle, found right here:
click.here ----- > 7 Minute Muscle
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 2: The Sit-up
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm shocked that people still think sit-ups done the old-fashioned way actually work the abs. Even worse, most people have been fooled into believing this actually helps get rid of bellyfat.
Nonsense. Bellyfat is burned off when you have a good nutrition plan and through general exercise, not using exercises for the abs. Ab exercises are fine, but guess what?
I never train my abs more than 3-5 minutes. Today my ab workout took 3 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. And my abs are sore!
But without the nutrition plan, forget it... I'd never SEE my abs at all. I'd just have a nice wall of muscle with a bunch of flab covering it up.
The best nutrition plan for abs is The Every Other Day Dietplan, found here:
click.here ----- > The Every Other Day Diet
The best exercises to do for the actual ab muscles are hanging leg raises, done slowly, crunches (if you do them right)... and that's really all you need.
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 3: The Bench Press
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm going to get a lot of flack from the guys out there who love to bench, but I'm here to tell you that this exercise for bodyshaping is all but worthless.
Why? Because most people are not built right body-wise to bench press on a flat bench with a barbell. I am not, that's for sure.
Bench presses work if you have short arms, a relatively short torso, and your shoulders are genetically strong.
Protect your shoulders and really work your chest by doing incline dumbbell presses with your palms facing OUT, not in toward your head. This protects the rotator cuff, a part of the shoulder that is often injured using barbell bench presses.
Combine this with a good cable fly or press movement and you're set. Again, you only need about 7-14 minutes of chest work tops to get the job done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 4: Most Cardio Exercises
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Yep... saved the best for last.
Here's a fact: Most cardio (bike, treadmill, glider, whatever) is a waste to time... UNLESS you do it at the right time with the right nutrition plan.
The calories you burn from cardio will be easily negated simply by eating a bagel! Hardly effective for getting rid of bodyfat. Weight training and/or resistance training at home or with your body weight, as covered in 7 Minute Muscle, is your best bet for exercise that burns-off mega-calories and keeps on burning long after the exercise session is over.
Here's how to use traditional cardio wisely:
1. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach;
2. Keep your heart rate down to 75% of your max (220 minus your age x .75 will give you this number, at least approximately);
3. "Burst" for 2-3 minutes in your session up to 85-90% of your max heart rate.
4. OR, do cardio right after weight or resistance training when your heart rate is already elevated and your blood sugar is lower. Your body burns blood sugar first during exercise.
Cardio for most people only needs to be performed 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes. The only time I break this rule is when I want to get my bodyfat below 10%. Then I will do more, but only using the rules above.
Hope this saves you a ton of time with your workouts.
Enjoy your holidays!
Joseph

Build A Muscular Chest Innovative And Results Producing Workouts
So yesterday, I told you about Nick Nilsson's new book "The Best Chest Exercises You've Never Heard Of". Well, the response has just been TREMENDOUS.
If you are having trouble building your chest muscles you may need to change your approach. Nick Nilsson has come up with a solution to your chest building problems. As Nick always say's it's all about results.
----------
Innovative Chest Building Exercises
----------
And Nick told me the most frequent comment he's been getting about these exercises...
"How do you come up with these insane exercise?" (and yes, people DO use the word insane when they write him!)
Here's his response:
---
"Well, to me, it's all about results. I don't create exercises just for the sake of creating exercises. They've gotta have a purpose and they've gotta get RESULTS.
Sometimes I take equipment and look at it in completely different ways. Where one person sees a bench press machine, I see a shoulder press, a leg press, a calf raise machine, curl machine, row machine.
Sometimes, I'll challenge myself to work every single bodypart while limiting myself to just one piece of equipment.
And then there are times when I just say what the 'heck' and go all mad scientist and just see what happens.
The real key to remember is that these crazy exercises I come up with aren't crazy for no reason...they're extremely targeted to their purpose, whether it be increasing the resistance on a bodyweight exercise like the push-up (i.e. my Rack Weighted Push-Up exercise), or focusing on the peak contraction position of the pec using a free-weight-only exercise (i.e. my Lying Side Dumbell Flye exercise).
Plus, I want you to have FUN when you're in the gym, while getting better results! You're going to put a lot more effort into things and have a WAY more motivation to train hard when you're trying new things and having a good time doing it.
I have to say, the #1 thing people tell me after using the exercises from my books is that their motivation to train simply went through the ROOF! Some people have literally had to STOP themselves from spending too much time at the gym because of how much they're enjoying the new exercises!
---
That pretty much says it all!
And the cool thing is, you can actually check out and try out three exercises that Nick mentioned above (the Rack Weighted Push-Ups and the Lying Side Dumbell Flyes) right on his site - no need to sign up for anything!
So if you want to build a GREAT chest and the regular exercises just aren't getting the job done, you really have GOT to check this book out:
Get Results
Sincerely,
Jag252

Chest Training Explosion
Hi,
I wanted you to know about a new product out for building your chest muscles. It's by Nick Nilsson and is called The Best Chest Exercises You Never Heard Of.
Nick is a very innovative guy when it comes to taking an old standard exercise putting a new twist on it making it more effective.
Check out the sample exercises at Nick's site and you will see what I mean.
So if there was just ONE bodypart that you really wanted to improve...one bodypart that ALWAYS ends up first in your training routine...what would it be?
I think chances are pretty good that it's your CHEST!
I mean, having that thick gladiator-like chest just screams power and strength (unless you're female, of course, then you want to work your chest for a whole different reason!).
So if you're in a chest training rut...gains on bench press have come to a screeching halt...or maybe you're just plain bored with your chest training right now...
I've got some EXCELLENT news for you!
And if you like insane, new exercises that will not only give your muscles a shock but ELECTRIFY your motivation to train hard again...I've got even BETTER news for you...
Nick Nilsson (a.k.a. the "Mad Scientist" of exercise) has just come out with a new book called "The Best Chest Exercises You've Never Heard Of."
I think the name says it all :)
----------
Want to know more right now? Click here to check it out:
Building Your Chest Muscles
----------
So here's the deal...
Right now, Nick's just released this book and is only charging $29.95 for the full 53-exercise book. This is just DIRT CHEAP for the sheer volume of innovative exercises you'll find in it. Exercise descriptions, pictures, even an entire VIDEO LIBARY that you'll have full access to so you know exactly how to perform every exercise.
If you've got access to free weight and bodyweight and a few basic pieces of equipment, you'll be able to use the VAST majority of these exercises.
And here's the cool thing...Nick has posted THREE sample exercises taken directly from the book right on his site for you read to and try out RIGHT NOW. No need to sign up for anything - just go the site and learn 'em.
I think he thinks once you've tried these samples, you'll be hooked...
Me? I think he's right...
Go check it out here:
Building Your Chest Muscles
Sincerely,
Jag252
P.S. When you get to the site and read through the sample exercises, you'll notice he's got a sign-up box where you can actually sign up to get ADDITIONAL exercises. Definitely sign up for this - he told me he's also going to be sending out even MORE sample exercises to the people who do.

Your Fat Burning Workout How To Burn Fat Faster
Fat Burning Workout How To Burn Fat Faster
By the end of this article you will have the information you will need to set up your own fat burning workout.
Let's look at How To Burn fat and Your Fat Burning Workout.
Fat Burning Fact
In order to burn one pound of fat, you have to create a total caloric deficit of 3,500 calories. Aim for 500 calories a day so that you total the 3,500 calories over the course of one week.
Many people underestimate just how long it can take to burn fat and calories contained in many of their favorite foods. For three minutes of eating pleasure, you may have to spend an extra hour working out. For fat burning, look to make small changes in your diet.
In order to burn fat, however, you must be in a caloric deficit, which you can do by reducing the number of calories you eat each day or increasing your energy expenditure through exercise. For fat burning fast do a combination of both.
Your Fat Burning Workout - Burn Fat Not Muscle
Fat Burning Fact: the more lean muscle you have the higher your metabolism. The higher your metabolism equals more fat burning.
When it comes to your fat burning workout what's your first thought? cardio training. Good for fat burning but there is more to it. Cardio training with circuit training and interval training is great I highly recommend them for a fat burning workout. To get the permanent results in fat loss we want don't under estimate weight training.
Weight training for fat burning boosts your metabolism during and long after your fat burning workout is over. Weight training will help you not only maintain but gain lean muscle, creating an increase in metabolism and fat burning.
Cardio training will only cause a short rise in metaboliism for an hour or two after your fat burning workout, burning less calories compared with weight training.
Overdoing cardio will decrease your lean muscle, your metabolism can slow down decreasing your fat burning efforts.
Weight training will help change the way you look, replacing fat with muscle, changing your body composition.
A weight training fat burning workout is a great alternative to cardio and will give you better, more visible results...
Your Ultimate Fat Burning Workout:
* Do 3 weight training workouts a week.
* Concentrate on compound exercises squats,deadlifts, presses, rows etc.
* Do 3-5 exercises 3-5 reps and 3-5 sets per
* Do 2-3 Interval training/Circuit training workouts a week
keep your fat burning workout to about 20 minutes.
while cardio may make you lose weight, weight lifting will help you lose body fat, altering your body composition.
Weight training will help change the way you look completely, giving the impression that you’ve replaced fat with muscle and are actually working at improving your body and changing your body composition.
