Review of
Turbulence Training:
The Program that Promises Maximum Fat Loss in Minimum Workout
Time
www.TurbulenceTraining.com
Turbulence Training promises fast fat loss results for men and
women who don't have a lot of time for exercise. This is a
bold promise, and the workouts promise maximum results in only
three 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's take a look at the
expert behind the workouts. I've come across Craig
Ballantyne's name many times in popular fitness magazines
such as Men's Health and Men's Fitness, and even in
Oxygen and Shape magazines. So the program is clearly put
together by a trusted fitness expert.
I've also talked to Craig about his training and education
background, and I'll be honest, it was impressive, unlike the
trainers with weekend certifications that pop up at large
commercial gyms. Craig's experience goes back to the
mid-nineties, in both the gym and in the research lab. He's
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 its 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're looking for new ways to spend 30 or 60-minutes doing
cardio, then this program is not for you. But if you only have 45
minutes to workout, a couple of times per week, and you have
access to only a bench, dumbells, and an exercise ball, then
you'll like what Craig has for you here.
Now one of the biggest questions about the
program is simply, "What is Turbulence Training?" Well
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. He says,
"Cardio doesn't 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, dumbell exercises, and interval training
can all be done at home, with minimal equipment (if you are
really strong, it might help to have a chinup bar). So again, if
you are one of those people who loves machines, or cardio
equipment, or marathon workouts, then this program is not for
you.
Frankly, I've used the program myself
and recommended to many others. Why? Because no one has time for
long workouts! That's why. After an eight or ten hour
workday, a round-trip commute of 90 minutes, and spending time
with my family, I just don't have time to do another 90
minute workout every day of the week.
In fact, I either get up early and do the
workout before work, or I do it just before bed. This workout is
perfect for busy men and women. But its not the type of routine
that is going to turn 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 its fun! So many workouts are boring
(i.e. long cardio) or repetitive (i.e. doing the same
bodybuilding workout over and over again). But Turbulence
Training uses a lot of unique (but not fluffy) 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.
But, I am even able to recommend this
program to friends who are just starting out, because Craig has
put together a 6-week introductory program, and a 4-week
intermediate program in addition to the 16-week advanced training
phase (PLUS, the Turbulence Training program comes with a 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.
He's used all of these workouts with hundreds of clients - so
they are safe and effective. Sure, you can get other programs
that leave you smashed and puking after the first workout, but
Turbulence Training is not like that. Soreness doesn't
matter, only results matter! And you are in expert hands with
Turbulence Training, and Men's Health expert, Craig
Ballantyne.
Craig's Turbulence Training also
contains a contract -- basically, your pledge to being committed
to the program. It also includes an ebook on Nutrition Guidelines
from expert, Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D., and an extensive Q&A
section, a 21-Healthy Habit Building Plan, plus the complete
Turbulence Training workouts for beginner, intermediate and
advanced level individuals.
All users will benefit from the Turbulence
Training MP3 audio where Craig goes over the program, plus you
can find every single exercise explained in detail, complete with
photos.
Okay, so bottom line. Turbulence Training
is NOT....
- Long, slow cardio workouts
- A machine-based exercise circuit
- A bodybuilding program to gain bulk
- A workout with lots of time-wasting isolation exercises
- A restrictive eating plan
Turbulence Training provides NONE of the
above. On the other hand, Turbulence Training is perfect for busy
men and women who want to burn fat in the comfort of their own
homes without spending a lot of money on equipment or space on
exercise machines. Oh, and you'll actually have fun and you
won't "dread" these workouts - heck, they will be
over before you know it!
If you're in the slightest bit
curious, I recommend you look closely at Craig's program. I
was very impressed with all of the Turbulence Training workouts,
the bonuses, the guarantee, and Craig's expertise. For the
money, it's the best deal in the fitness and fat loss
industry - so much better than diet pills! And remember...
Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training
is backed by a 8-week money back guarantee. And this is a real
guarantee... if you are not completely satisfied, you will
receive your money back, no "ifs," "ands," or
"buts." So you really have nothing to lose.

They should focus on gaining muscle instead.
