Strength and Conditioning: A Bodyweight Fat Burning Workout

Good Morning,

I got this workout from Chris Lopez of The Turbulence Training Kettlebell Workout program. It's a killer so start out slowly but when you get it down it is a great fat burning workout


 Push-up, Burpee, Pull-up Combo


I filmed this after practice last night since I got about 10 emails asking what this was in my previous post.

This is by far one of my favorite "combo" exercises. At the studio I used to train at, they had one of those Keiser racks where the chin-up bar was 9 1/2 feet high. There were only a few trainers at the gym who could do this combo on that rack because you had to be able to jump (yes, I was one of them).

This chin-up bar isn’t nearly as high (maybe 8 1/2 feet), but is still just as effective.





Thanks again to Chris Lopez go check out my review of the Turbulence Training Kettlebell Workouts

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

Interval Training Killed The Cardio Workout


Interval Training Killed The Cardio Workout

Thankfully we have a better way for fat burning than spending hours on a treadmill. RIP old cardio. Welcome Interval Training.

Stop doing the slow boring cardio workouts for fat burning and switch to shorter, more effective interval training for fat burning and weight loss. This will help you get more fat burning results in less workout time.

Research proves that interval training is better than cardio workouts for fat burning, weight loss and fitness.

* But what is Interval Training? *

Interval training is when you do a period of hard work followed by a period of easy work. Although I do prefer weight training, bodyweight exercises or kettlebells for interval training, you can also use the treadmill to do interval training/ fat burning workouts.

A good time to do your interval training is immediately after your strength training session. That way you only have 3 full training days per week.

Interval training can also be done on your off days of strength training.

After you've finished your strength training workout, you'll move into the interval training workout. Start by warming up for 5 minutes at a progressive pace and then you are going to go 45 seconds at a hard 8.5-9/10 intensity level, followed by 90 seconds at an easy 3/10 intensity level.

For another interval training workout, you'll again start with your 5-minute warm-up, but instead of 45 seconds, you will do 60 seconds of hard work followed by 90 seconds of recovery. This time your hard interval training will not be as difficult at it was in the first fat burning workout I described, but still at a pretty good pace that allows you to do 60 seconds of hard work.

As a side note, you always want to be able to finish your interval training and fat burning workout. If you can't, then you need to bring the intensity down.

When you come down to your recovery interval, it should always be at the same intensity, and always be very easy. So, no matter which interval training/ fat burning workout you are going to be doing, you will always come back to the same easy level intensity for your recovery period. Again, you are going to repeat the intervals in the workout up to six times and then finish off with a cool down.

Interval Training better results for So Interval Training means fat burning, lean muscle and fitness. Let's see shorter workouts better results? Sounds pretty much like a no brainer.

Turbulence Training And Kettlebell Training Extreme Cardio


I have some really exciting news today. It is as they say a match made in heaven. Turbulence training and Kettlebell training together. If you read my posts you know I am a big believer in both Interval training (turbulence training and kettlebell training.

But what happens when you combine this revolutionary piece of fat burning exercise equipment with the world’s most powerful and popular home workout fat loss system – Turbulence Training?

The answer is rapid fat loss at any age using the Turbulence Training and Kettlebell training Revolution Workouts.

You’ll be able to workout ANYTIME, ANYWHERE with the NEW Turbulence Training Kettlebell training Revolution Fat Loss System in your favorite location wearing your favorite clothes while listening to your favorite workout tunes…and you’ll still get better results than any machine could ever give you - GUARANTEED.


As you know, Turbulence Training has been used by thousands of men and women through Craig Ballantyne’s website and online videos, plus millions of men and women who have read about Craig’s programs in Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Women’s Health, Oxygen, and even Prevention magazine.

Well now Craig Ballantyne and Chris Lopez have brought them both together. So without further babbling from me I'll let Craig take it from here.( and check out the video of Chris and Craig at the bottom of the page)


Why a Turbulence Training Kettlebell Training Workout?

I got this question a lot last week, 53 times to be exact, but folks want to know...

"Why are you putting together a Turbulence Training and Kettlebell training workout program?"

And the answer is simple.

I just didn't like what was out there for my Turbulence Training members.

Every program seemed to be competing about how "hard-core" it couldbe...but I don't care how hard it is, I just want it to work and be appropriate for TT readers.

So all those other guys bragging about how their program will make"you sick" and "so sore you'll want to go to the hospital" can keep their programs.

Instead, I decided to certify the first Turbulence Trainer, Chris Lopez, and I went to him for Kettlebell Workouts because I know he has been using them for years with his clients.

So today, I want you to meet Chris Lopez, creator of the TurbulenceTraining Kettlebell Workout Revolution.

And don't forget you'll be able to use his workouts in the 6th TT Transformation Contest that starts today!

Welcome to the Revolution,

...already has 4 kids with a 5th on the way (his first boy!).
