Turbulence Training promises fast fat loss results for men and women who do not have a lot of time for exercise.
This is a bold promise, and the workouts promise maximum results in only 3 workouts per week.
Let’s take a look at this claim and see if it really measures up!
Before we get to the program, let us take a look at the expert behind the workouts.
About Author
I have come across Craig Ballantyne’s name many times in popular fitness magazines.
Such as Men’s Health. Men’s Fitness and even in Oxygen and Shape magazines.
So the program is clearly put together by a trusted fitness expert.
Unlike the trainers with weekend certifications that pop up at large commercial gyms. Craig’s experience goes back to the mid-90s in both the gym and in the research lab.
He has actually led research trials on sport supplements, strength training, and cardiovascular training.
Plus, Craig has been a strength coach and has worked with hundreds of clients in thousands of training sessions.
This is a unique and thorough background.
So it is not surprising he’s come up with a new training system for fat loss.
In fact, Craig’s articles are always pretty hard on traditional aerobic cardio workouts.
So if you are looking for new ways to spend 30 or 60-minutes doing cardio, then this program is not for you.
But if you have 45 minutes to workout a couple of times per week and access to only a bench, dumbbells, and an exercise ball, then you will like what Craig has for you here.
About His Program
According to Craig, its the combination of resistance training and interval training used to boost your metabolism so that your body burns calories and fat between workouts.
From his discovery, cardio does not boost your metabolism after exercise.
Only strength training and interval training do that – while you work, sleep, and eat – your body will be shedding fat.
Fortunately, Craig’s unique system of bodyweight exercises, dumbbell exercises, and interval training can all be done at home, with minimal equipment.
If you are really strong, it might help to have a chin-up bar.
So again, if you are among those people who loves fitness machines, cardio equipment or marathon workouts, then this program is not for you.
Why?
Because no one has time for long workouts!
Or willing to spend huge amount of money on memberships and personal gym equipment.
After 8 or 10 workday, a round-trip commute of 90 minutes, and spending time with my family, I just cannot afford 90 minute workouts every day.
This workout is perfect for busy men and women.
But it is not the type of routine that will transform anyone into a pro bodybuilder.
If you want maximum muscle and want to bulk up, try another one of Craig’s programs.
But the Turbulence Training system is best for burning fat without sacrificing muscle – so you end up lean, defined, chiseled and toned.
And it is fun!
So many workouts are boring (i.e. long cardio) or repetitive.
Such as doing the same bodybuilding workout over and over again.
But the program uses a lot of unique exercises, including some cool, killer bodyweight moves that will make you more athletic and increase your functional and core strength – again, all with minimal equipment needs.
All in all, this is a 6-week introductory and 4-week intermediate program in addition to the 16-week advanced training phase.
Plus the course includes massive amount of bonus workouts for muscle building, bodyweight only, advanced fat loss, and even a female specific bonus.
But each workout progresses into the next.
Craig used all of these workouts with many clients so they are safe and effective.
The program also contains a contract.
Under which, you have to be committed to the program.
It also includes an e-book on Nutrition Guidelines from expert, Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D.,extensive Q and A section, a 21-Healthy Habit Building Plan and complete workouts for beginner, intermediate and advanced level individuals.
All users will benefit from the MP3 audio where Craig goes over the program.
Plus you can find every single exercise explained in detail, complete with photos.
