How to Burn Belly Fat Fast In Time For Summer

If you still have ugly belly fat and flabby trouble spots that you need to firm up before summer, then this is the most important email you're going to read all year.

Another winter has flown by, and I've been talking to a lot of men and women who aren't happy with the progress they've been making in their fat burning programs. And yet summer is only weeks away!

Everyone's been asking me for the fastest way to...
1) Burn belly fat fast, permanently
2) Get rid of the flab covering their arms and thighs
3) Flatten their abs
4) Fit into the smaller clothes and swimsuits they bought last year
5) And get this all done in only a couple of hours per week

You see, none of these folks have 90 minutes to spend at the gym each day, like most magazine workouts require.
But there is a way to lose belly fat and fit back into your old swimsuit, and it doesn't require you to even go to a gym at all.
I stumbled across a convenient program that will help you lose as much fat as fast as humanly possible with simple workouts that can easily be done in the comfort of your own home, without endless hours of BORING cardio, fancy equipment or expensive supplements.
So let me introduce you to my friend, Craig Ballantyne, who is the inventor of these fast fat burning workouts. He's been recommended by Men's Health magazine, Oxygen magazine, and even by Jillian Michaels, the Personal Trainer from the Biggest Loser TV Show...
Not only is Craig one of the top experts on short fat loss workouts, and a celebrity trainer featured on the Men's Health website, but it's also his BIRTHDAY this month.
And to celebrate he's giving away an outrageous amount of fat burning bonus workouts and meal plans to help you lose your belly fat and fit into smaller clothes before swimsuit season.
C'mon, don't you deserve better results than what you've been getting with slow cardio workouts?
Craig's Turbulence Training workouts have helped tens of thousands of men and women escape the prison of long workouts, crowded gyms, and more importantly, the shackles of unwanted, ugly body fat.
For years, Craig worked with men and women who had tried everything, including 90-minute workouts everyday and in some cases up to SEVEN hours of cardio per week, only to be left in frustration and near tears because these workouts just weren't burning fat.
But Craig knew there was a better way.
So he packaged his years of research and over 11 years of hands-on training experience into Turbulence Training, a routine that you can do at home, in only 45 minutes, 3 times per week, sparing you more time to live life and spend with your family and friends.
And as I mentioned, Craig turns 33 this month, but he's the one giving away the gifts. In fact, he's giving us over $537 of fat burning workout bonuses and meal plans to help every busy man and woman burn belly fat fast.

But these 10 bonuses will only be available for the next THREE days.

After Wednesday, May 7th, at 11:59pm, you won't be able to get all of these bonuses together again.

Now you've probably heard me talk about the Turbulence Training workouts before. In fact, I use them and I love them. They are so fast and let me exercise at home if I need to, so I can free up at least an extra hour in my day.
Plus, I've compared the results to long, slow boring cardio workouts, and Turbulence Training wins hands down.
In fact, the 1st-ever Turbulence Training Transformation Contest just finished, where the Grand Prize winner of $2000 lost 15.5 pounds of fat and 4 inches of her belly fat in only 12 weeks - and she didn't do long cardio workouts!

Plus, the second place finisher lost over 33 pounds of fat and 7.5 inches from his gut in only 84 days. Again, all without cardio.
And there were dozens of other success stories. In fact, it was so successful that there's another Turbulence Training Transformation Contest going on right now, and you can join to win up to $2000 just by losing your belly fat and changing your body.
It's a "lose to win-win" situation. All you need to do is get started with the Turbulence Training workouts today.
And I truly believe that the Turbulence Training workouts are the most efficient and effective fat burning programs available.
After all, if these workouts weren't the best, would the biggest fitness magazine in the world, Men's Health, feature Turbulence Training workouts on the Men's Health website?
Of course not, they have too much to lose. It's also no surprise to me that Jillian Michaels recommended Craig Ballantyne and Turbulence Training to the listeners of her radio show this past January.
(You can hear what she had to say when you visit Craig's site.)
With Turbulence Training, you have nothing to lose (except for fat!) and everything to gain (including more time for yourself, rather than spending your time indoors in your home gym in the basement or at a crowded, stinky, overpriced commercial gym).
Not only are the Turbulence Training workouts proven by both research and experience, but you also have a hundred percent satisfaction guarantee that you'll love the workouts. Or just return the program for your money back.
Now let me tell you more about the Turbulence Training workouts.

First of all, they can easily be done at home with a bench, an exercise ball, and dumbells (plus, a chin-up bar is also helpful if you are strong enough for bodyweight rows, chinups, and pullups).

Second, Turbulence Training features dozens of bodyweight-only exercises to burn your belly fat.

Third, thousands of men AND women (yes, women too!) have used the Turbulence Training workouts to burn fat in a very short amount of time and without long, slow boring cardio.

Craig has PROVEN time and time-again that you don't need to be at the gym everyday for 90 minutes.

In fact, the Turbulence Training workouts will only take 45 minutes, three days per week, and you can do everything at home.

No need for fancy, expensive gym memberships, or long commutes to an annoying "mega-club" where you have to compete for equipment (or worse, wait for a machine covered in the nasty sweat of the hairy powerlifter that used it just before you).
Turbulence Training is as straight-forward as any fat loss program could be.
You'll get the workouts done fast, avoiding useless exercises or any waiting around twiddling your thumbs.
Craig has cut the fluff so that you are using ONLY the best exercises that give the most results in the least amount of time.
That's why you burn more fat in less workout time. It's perfect!
If you've ever struggled to figure out what to do for your fat loss program, then worry no more. Turbulence Training spells it out, workout by workout, exercise by exercise, set by set, and rep by rep, for a full 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts.
Turbulence Training also includes 10 weeks of workouts for the absolute beginner to help any newcomer, no matter what your situation, get started on the best fat loss plan.
Remember, Craig has used this program with hundreds of clients in person, including many men and women who were beginning their fat loss journey at over 200 or even 300 pounds. It worked for them and it will work for you.
Craig's program also gives you dozens of weeks of bonus workouts that help you take your lean body to the next level of definition.
(Not too mention all the cool new ab workout bonuses and the fat blasting Kettlebell workout you can get in the Birthday Bonuses available until Wednesday night.)
So while your New Year's resolutions might have fizzled out long ago, and you didn't lose the holiday pounds like you thought you would, you still have time to make dramatic changes in your body before beach season officially starts next month.
All of of your fat loss problems and body's troublespots will be fixed by the Turbulence Training program.

And you owe it to yourself to get Turbulence Training because you deserve a program that gets you results fast, not a program that makes you spend an hour on the treadmill each day while summer passes you by...You don't need to live in the gym to look great!

With all of the beginner workouts, regular TT bonuses, 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts, AND these 10 limited-time bonuses, you will have all the info you need to burn fat fast - and permanently.

The body you've wanted for so long can be yours, and in less time than you've ever thought necessary.

Get ready to experience a new body thanks to all the inches you'll lose, the pounds you'll shed, and the energy you'll gain in the next few days with the Turbulence Training fat loss program.

So let's get back to Craig's Birthday Celebration Giveaway, and the gifts that he's offering up for you...

PORTABILITY

PORTABILITY

I received a comment from Mark Fu on a previous post about his kettlebell workout at a car wash, it reminded me of one the great things about kettlebells. They are extremely portable and also allow flexibility. I keep one at work. I occasionally bring heavier ones to work or bring one to the park. I like to alternate jumping rope with swings and/or snatches. You can also do swings, jog a lap, do snatches, jog a lap, etc...When someone says they have no room for exercise equipment, answer = kettlebells. You do not need 2 of every weight just one. Of course you will eventually move up, but that is a good thing, right? If you haven't tried them pick one up what have you got to loose?

LEARNING THE TYPES OF MUSCLE FIBER

TO HAVE A BETTER KNOWLEDGE ON BUILDING MUSCLE IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSCLE FIBER

By Vince DelMonte
One factor that many people overlook when they do all their research about the best type of muscle building strength training program to go on is the various types of muscle tissue and what type of training is best suited to them.
While you can’t differentiate between muscle fibers from your outside appearance, on the inside of the muscle tissue body, there are three main different fibers present.

Type A Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers
The first type of muscle fibers are known as Type A Fast Twitch and are responsible for the most forceful contractions generated, however, will fatigue the fastest.
For example, if you were to perform an all out set of 3 reps for bench press, you would predominately be using these type A muscle fibers.
They tend to have very large motor neurons and very low mitochondrial density. They also have a low oxidative capacity, meaning they will not be able to utilize oxygen very well. It is for this reason that they are not suited to endurance type of activities, because during these exercise variations, oxygen must be present in order to sustain the muscular contractions.
The major type of fuel that these muscle fibers are going to rely on is creatine phosphate and stored muscle glycogen (glucose). They will not utilize stored body fat at all due to the fact that they are only able to continually contract for between one and about 20 seconds.

Type B Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers
The next muscle fiber is also classified as a fast twitch muscle fiber but not to the extent that type A are.
This muscle fiber type is mostly utilized in activities that are relatively short in duration, but are not at an all out pace.
For example, if you were to sprint 100 meters, you’ll be using mostly type A. If on the other hand, you are to do a running interval at about 80-90% of your max capacity for 30 seconds, this would utilize the type 2A more.
Some of the characteristics of the type B are that they still have a large motor neuron (not as large as Type A though), they are on the intermediate scale as far as being resistant to fatigue, and they have a high degree of mitochondrial density.
These muscle fiber types are also able to use oxygen to a great extent, as demonstrated by their higher resistance to fatigue and longer duration of contraction abilities.

Slow Twitch
Finally, the third type of muscle fiber that you have in your body is classified as slow-twitch.
This is the muscle fiber type you would use if you were to run a marathon or any other extended duration, medium-to-low intensity activity.
These muscle fibers have a very high ability to resist fatigue and have a large oxidative capacity. They are also relatively slow to contract, therefore you cannot expect a great deal of force generation from these muscles, thus, will not be intended for exercises requiring a high degree of power.
They are very high in terms of mitochondrial density and have a large number of capillaries running throughout their bodies. This is to enable sufficient oxygen to get to the muscle tissues so that they can carry on the extended duration of muscular work they are intended to do.
These are also the muscle fibers that will also rely more on fat as fuel, as opposed to strictly using carbohydrates or creatine phosphate.

Training The Muscle Fiber Types
So, now that you’re familiar with the three major classes of muscle fiber types, it’s time to recognize how you would train each effectively.
Since type A are your primary force generators, if you wish to get a higher performance from them you’ll need to train using exercises that require you to max out your effort for a short period of time.
Think sprinting at full speed, 1-5 rep sets for lifting, and any type of plyometric activities.

Next, to train your type B muscles fibers, you’ll want to slightly decrease the force with which you are to contract while simultaneously increasing the time over which you contract ever so slightly

For example, perform 30-45 intervals repeated ten times with about a minute or a minute and a half at a low to moderate pace. For your weight training activities, aim to target the 6-10 rep range to utilize the fact these muscle fibers have a higher oxidation ability.
Finally, to improve your slow twitch muscle fibers, think endurance. This type of fiber will usually require the greatest amount of time to train for improvement because you’ll want to focus on simply going ‘longer’. If you’re a runner, try and run longer. If you’re a biker, bike longer. If you’re a swimmer, swim longer – you get the point. This type of muscle has the ability to go for extended periods of time so this is exactly what you want to train it to do.
So, next time you are trying to sort out your training plan, make sure to take the various muscle fiber types into consideration.
Doing so will allow you to make the most out of your training program so you get the exact results you’re looking for.

OHHHHHH I REACHED MY GOAL

TRANSFORMATION CONTEST NEEDS YOUR VOTES +ABS

Craig Ballantyne at Turbulence Training needs help choosing the winner of his TT “Transformation Contest” so go help him out and VOTE!

Alwyn Cosgroveand Craig Ballantyne had a long discussion covering everything in the
fitness industry (from Valslides to Jay Ferruggia's workouts and all the sport-specific training in-between), but what was most interesting was Alwyn's latest recommendations for ab training.
So I twisted his arm to get him to reveal a long list of ab exercises for you to use in your workouts...
Here's what Alwyn had to say:
********
A recent study testing abdominal activation with various exercises
showed an interesting trend. The most activation occured when the abs were used as stabilizers as opposed to prime movers.
In other words - planks and the ab wheel type exercises worked the abs HARDER than crunches or reverse crunches.
Therefore, you need various types of stabilization work in your routine to get maximum results. Start with an isometric variation and then add a dynamic stabilization version.
Here are 21 ab stabilization exercises from my staff training manual
at his gym, Results Fitness:
1) Plank
2) Plank with single arm support
3) Plank with single leg support
4) Plank with single arm and single leg support
5) Plank on Stability ball - elbows on ball
6) Plank on stability ball - hands on ball
7) Plank on Stability ball - elbows on ball & single leg support
8) Plank on stability ball - hands on ball & single leg support
9) Plank on Stability ball - elbows on ball & feet on bench
10) Plank on stability ball - hands on ball & feet on bench
11) Stability ball knee drives
12) Stability ball cross body knee drives
13) Side Plank
14) Side Plank with single leg support
15) Side Plank on Stability ball - elbows on ball
16) Side Planks from hand
17) Side Planks from hand with single leg support
18) Alternating side planks to elbow
19) Alternating side planks to hand
20) Alternating side planks to elbow with single leg support
21) Alternating side planks to hand with single leg support

Jillian has one more recommendation for you on how to get flat abs.

You watch a lot of TV?

I don't, especially now that the batteries are dead in my remote
control. But I do try and sneak in a bit of "The Office" and "My
Name is Earl" each week. One show I don't watch - which maybe I
should - is "The Biggest Loser".

On that show, two expert trainers, including Jillian Michaels, help
overweight men and women make dramatic life changes in their health
and bodies. Kind of like the Turbulence Training Transformation
Contest....

So today, Jillian Michaels, one of the celebrity trainers from the
"Biggest Loser" TV show, gives her advice on burning the last bit of
belly fat to help you get flat abs...

*******
"Crunches don't equal abs.

You can't do crunches and expect to see abs if they're trapped under
a layer of fat.

Taking off the last problem pounds requires discipline. You're
fighting you're body's natural chemistry. Your body wants to keep
on an extra 10-15 pounds and losing the last 10 pounds isn't always
about getting healthy in the same way losing 30 or 40 is.

Sometimes, it's about vanity, and for vanity, you have to make
sacrifices. Your body doesn't want to shed that weight just because
you are a narcissist and want to wear size two jeans.

You have to trick your body into thinking it's a safe weight, and
that means plowing through the program without giving your body the
chance to rebound back to its old weight.

If you can read In Touch on the treadmill, you aren't working hard
enough."

********
I couldn't agree more.

Jillian has one more recommendation for you on how to get flat abs....Do you remember it from a previous post????

A NEW RANT

Here I go again, I’m going to rant, vent, whatever you choose to call it. Normally when I choose to workout at the gym, [Retro Fitness] there is a regular amount of people there. This past Friday, Good Friday, it was packed! Fine I understand people were off. I realized I would not be able to do the workout I wanted and changed it up on the fly. I was going to do my normal “Turbulence Training”, but do to the crowd I couldn’t. I did do a “round” consisting of deadlifts with a”trap-bar”, upright rows and dumbbell snatchs. I did 4 rounds after a warm up. Then I wanted to do a little chest work to finish my whole body. I decided to do crossover being I hit my chest real hard on Wednesday; I just wanted to get some blood into it. The gym has this great “cable station” a sort of right angle, made by Life Fitness I believe. Each side, leg if you will, is about 15’ long. On each end there are 3 stations, 1leg has 2 adjustable press down or curl stations and a lat pull down, the other end has 2 low cable rows and 1 adjustable press down or curl station. Each center part of each leg is the adjustable cross over area, also with a pull up bar. The corner has a lat pull down and an adjustable press down or curl stations. {So that makes 4 adjustable press down or curl stations!!!!} There was 2 people doing crossovers at the one station, and would not allow me to work in, which I asked to do because 2 guys were doing tricep press downs on the other crossover station and would not switch to one of the 4 open adjustable press down or curl stations!! I did ask very nicely on both counts the thing that really got me was the 2 doing triceps could have benefited more if they just stuck with the basics, they both looked like beginners [very skinny]. I would have gladly gave them some advice, but you know what they were extremely vulgar and rude when I asked them to switch. There are ways of saying “no” like for example “we only have few sets left” or something to that effect. Not “We were f%$*n here first wait your turn as@%^e”. Is it me? Maybe I should have just not bothered to ask????
Jillian Michaels, one of the trainer's on the hit TV show,
The Biggest Loser, mentioned Turbulence Training on her radio show
recently. Did she trash it and bash it? She recommended it!!!

5 FAT LOSS MYTHS...

Just a quick note to let you know that fat loss expert Craig
Ballantyne has just posted a shocking new article on his website.

It's called, "5 Fat Loss Myths: Why Long, Slow Boring Cardio is not
the Best Fat Loss Program to Increase Your Metabolism and Burn Belly
Fat..."

And the article is sure to surprise you, I didn't even know all of
these myself!

So head over here for Craig's latest article on fat loss myths: TURBULENCE TRAINING

DRAGONDOOR ANNOUNCES A NEW KB SIZE 73lbs (36kgs)

One of my goals this year is to clean and press my 2, 40kg (88lbs) kettlebells 15 times, this new size will help. The way I am going about attaining this goal is at the end of my workouts I have been “greasing the groove” this is taught in “Enter The Ketlebell” {which is included if you order before 4/11} and I add the clean and press to my pressing rounds or when doing Turbulence Training.

Dragon Door and Pavel Tsatsouline have designed this 79lb cast
iron kettlebell—for those men wishing to develop severe overall
strength.

The 79lb kettlebell brings another level of nastiness to those
require it to stay on top of the heap: martial artists, football
players and other athletes for whom explosive power and
egregious strength are a MUST.

Want to make the Greek Gods look mediocre? Regular practice
with 79lb kettlebells will give you the etched magnificence and
physical proportions of the old-time strongmen—and have
Hercules crying "Uncle!"

Men: you will probably start with Dragon Door's specially
designed 35lb kettlebell, and then move up to the 53lb
kettlebell, which will become your staple. However, if you wish
to move into the front ranks of physical excellence, make it
your goal to incorporate 79lb kettlebells into your workout
programs.

Nothing will earn you more respect and fear from your fellow

Lady Doc Gets Death Threats for Revealing TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret to General Public

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life!
A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered -- and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.
Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she's marching to the beat of a different drum.
And no, nothing about her "secret" is difficult -- nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural.
Instead, the Arizonian boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results."
This same woman medical practitioner went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity -- and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.
Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites -- and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.
She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons -- only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn't nearly as much as those obese patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight).
So powerful is her secret that she's able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases.
Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by "conventional doctors" that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a "normal" existence -- yet after applying Dr Suzanne's treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors' prognoses.
Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.
In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature 'protection agents' scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants -- but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world's worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it -- or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).
Now to everyone else's great gain, whether suffering from just a few extra pounds and inches, to those extremely fat and overweight, this brave, bold lady doctor is releasing to the general public her secret for forever destroying the tight unrelenting closed-fist of obesity's stronghold over the now more than 40% of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide.
But she's not promising any of us for how long.
Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use.
One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever "truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK."
It is currently available at:
Top Secret Fatloss
...so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or "something" gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least.
It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.
While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us? -Tom

Lady Doctor Blows the Lid Off of the World's Most TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret!

TRY THIS IF YOU DARE

When I left work last night I was going to follow my scheduled “Turbulence Training” [TT] for the night, but as I entered my garage I was inspired to be different.. I started thinking how I liked the way with TT you superset between 2 exercises. I also like the rounds I discussed in a previous post. So I decided to experiment I created 2 rounds, 1 push & 1 pull. The push was clean and press kb for 2 reps each hand followed by incline dumbbell presses for 5-8 reps, then I hit the heavy bag 10 times each hand did 10 kettlebell presses one hand repeat hitting heavy bag and press with other hand. The pull round was heavy rows 1-2 reps, followed by kettlebell renegade rows 5-8 reps per side, then kettlebell swings 15 reps. Having a garage gym make this workout efficient because I have the freedom to set everything up and alternating between rounds. I did 4 rounds of each, then I realized I slighted my legs, so I finished off with interval training consisting of 30 seconds of hindu squats, then 30 seconds jumping rope, then 1 minute active rest, 5 times – total workout was @45 minutes. I felt completely spent and exhilarated at the same time, an extremely good workout. I don’t know if I could do it 3 times a week, or need to do it that often. If you can set up to do this work out give it a try let me know what you think!

Recovery

In the past when speaking of recovery I discussed nutrition and the 2 hour window post workout. As a quick reminder this 2 hour window is extremely important for your body to receive its material for the rebuilding process. An example is I like to drink @30 grams of protein within 30minutes – 1 hour post workout then another meal or shake before the 2 hours is up.
Another key aspect to recovery is sleep. This would seem like a simple enough factor to accomplish, but in our self imposed hectic world it is not always easy or possible to get 8 hours a night. Yes I said self imposed, you made the choices in your life that put you where you are as I have. I know I work 12 hour rotating shifts so I am not on a normal schedule, so it is not easy to get 8 hours all the time, plus sleeping during the day can be hard at best.
One thing I have found that helps get the most out of my sleep and helps with the change in times [it also works for jet lag!], is supplementing with melatonin. What is melatonin? Here is the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services definition

[http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epcsums/melatsum.htm]: Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a neurohormone that is primarily produced by the pineal gland, located behind the third ventricle in the brain.4 In the synthesis of melatonin, tryptophan is hydroxylated to 5-hydroxytryptophan, which in turn is decarboxylated to 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). Serotonin is converted to the melatonin precursor and metabolite Nacetylserotonin by the enzyme N-acetyl transferase.5-7 N-acetylserotonin is methylated via the enzyme hydroxyindole-o-methyltransferase to produce melatonin.8 Approximately 90 percent of melatonin is cleared in a single passage through the liver. A small proportion of unmetabolized melatonin is also excreted in the urine.8 Commercially available melatonin may be isolated from the pineal glands of beef cattle9 or chemically synthesized.

Hmmmm …Got it? Good Ok well enough of the scientific mumbo jumbo, it works! You can buy it at GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Walgreens, almost anywhere. It is fairly cheap, start with the smallest size. You might not even need to take it every night. I take it all the time with only good side effects I wake up more well rested when I take it then when I do not. When I work nights I get only @ 4-5 hours sleep and have no problems with energy during the day. If sleep is a problem give melatonin a try, but as always check with your DR. 1st!

“Jay Ferruggia is one of the few guys I trust in the industry. Back in December, I flew down to Newark, New Jersey to train with Jay. We did a hardcore muscle building workout for legs. During the workout, Jay showed me techniques that 99% of trainers don't know. Simple tips for exercises that most people do wrong. It was a real eye-opener - and his 1 huge tip below will help you get more results than ever before. After all, unlike most trainers, Jay has spent years training regular folks from 6am to 1pm, and then training young athletes from pm to 9pm. Day in, day out.

Low intensity VS Hi intensity and interval Training

UPDATE

Just wanted to give a status updat I am down 22lbs, with 18 to go!
Somethings I have been doing besides Turbulence Training are as follows. I have been supplementing daily with @20 grams of additional fiber, thats besides what I get in my diet from food. Speaking of diet I have been following the "Warrior Diet", eating 2-3 apples a day and raw almonds. Been drinking 50-75 grams of Whey a day [75 on workout days]If anyone is interested in more details let me know and I'll give more....

ROUNDS.....

I am going to add the following workout to my rotation. When I go to the gym I will still follow the “Turbulence Training Workout” {by the way this months TT Members workouts are some great circuit training sessions TTMembers.com} but my garage session will be “rounds”. For which I have to thank Bud Jeffries @Strongerman.com, thank you! He goes into great explanation on a lot of what I am going to say in his newest DVD.The reason for this switch is my garage workouts are usually on days I work the day shift [6:30am-6:30pm] and I never get to the interval training. This workout will hit both anerobic and aerobic, plus functionality. Each round will have 3 exercises a heavy (1-3 reps) a medium (5-10 Reps), and a light (10+ reps) with little rest between each one.You will do each round 3x adding weight to the heavy each time and stretching as your active rest between each time.
So here goes:
Start off by warming up your whole body, you know your body better then anyone else, when warmed get started.
1st Round Heavy = Squats, Medium = Pistols, Light = Hindu squats

2nd Round Heavy = Barbell Push Press, Medium = Kettlebell [or DB]Bench Press, Light = Hitting Heavy Bag, 0ne Armed KB Press, Hitting Heavy Bag, One armed KB Press

3rd Round Heavy = Deadlift, Medium = Renegade Rows, Light = KB 1 Armed Snatches

Time your self doing these, then beat your time next time around! As usual if you have ANY questions ask, it will give me something to write about!

PS anyone trying to gain muscle be on the lookout this Wednesday,2/13/08, Vince DelMonte will realese his NEW DVD. He just let me check out his NNMBDVD and this is one of the most educational, inspirational and entertaining muscle building footage EVER.His muscle building DVD is officially 4 HOURS (that's 4 spelled F O U R)!

Tiger Woods Does It Again

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Turbulence Training

Tiger Woods is off to an incredible start in 2008, winning 3 tournaments in
3 starts. He did it again this weekend, winning another tournament, but its
no surprise based on his physical strength and mobility.
Not only does Tiger look like he gained even more muscle in the off-season,
it looks like he has Mark McGwire's arms, almost. Although again, Tiger is
doing this all without steroids.
Tiger is physically dominating the sport. Heck, he's even driven Phil
Mickelson to start exercising and to lose weight. Phil looks so much better
now that he has lost 20 pounds.
I'd be very interested to see Tiger's workout program. Is there anything
fancy in it? Or is it just the basics? How does he gain strength without
sacrificing mobility? That is one of the biggest mistakes
most "bodybuilding" type routines make...if a golfer did bodybuilding type
training, it would most likely ruin his game just as easily as getting fat
and out of shape.
Does Tiger use a lot of bodyweight exercises? Does he do cardio or interval
training? If anyone has the inside scoop on that training program, let me
know.
Now you certainly don't need to be a powerlifter, bodybuilder, or gymnast to
be a good golfer...as you can see by the physiques on many other men and
women on tour. However, you can't let your strength or mobility be the
limiting factor in your game. So you need to train...
The best things to do are...
1) Use a variety of bodyweight exercises to work on your strength and
mobility. This can be part of your warmup or can compose your entire
workout. Like I said, you don't need to be a powerlifter to be a golfer.
First, start with the basics like pushups, bodyweight squats, inverted
bodyweight rows, stick-ups, lunges, and the plank and side plank for your
abs.
Then once you've mastered those, move on to spiderman pushups, spiderman
climbs, mountain climbers, one-leg romanian deadlifts, stability ball leg
curls, hanging leg raises, pullups, chinups, and decline pushups.
There are dozens, if not hundreds of bodyweight exercises you can do to burn
fat, get stronger, and improve your mobility. This will help you hit longer
and more accurately on the golf course.
Plus, it will increase your stamina and focus late in the game - combined
with good nutrition of course.
2) Work with a good golf coach to identify your weaknesses. Is your lack of
hip mobility messing up your swing? Is your work posture ruining your
shoulder mobility? Etc.
3) Eat right for fat loss and mental energy. You won't get tired on the
course. I believe this is one of the most under-rated aspects of Tiger's
game. If you watch him play, you'll see him snacking at various points in
the day. And he ain't eating junk, unlike many of the older players on the
scene. Plus, good nutrition allows him to recover between rounds and between
workouts.
If you follow these three steps, you'll have a better body, you'll burn fat,
and you'll golf like a champ. Use your bodyweight, not machines, to become
fit like Tiger Woods.

HINDU SQUATS

After my post "Home Gym" on 1/22/08, I was going to write on how to do "Hindu Squats" today but as luck would have it John Wood, of bodyweightbasics.com sent the following email- thanks John!!

Hi Thomas,

I mentioned Hindu squats in a recent email and to change
things up a bit, decided to add them back in to my program.

It was a good idea and one of the other great advantages that
Hindu squats have over other forms of squatting that I
neglected to mention earlier is that the involvement of the
arms means more muscle is worked, and therefore will
increase the potential conditioning benefits to an appreciable
degree.

Also, at the top of the movement you can stretch and really
focus on opening up your chest as you breath which is
another great advantage.

As for my form, I like to maintain a more upright posture and
keep my knees over my feet moreso than the traditionally
taught method.

My fingertips brush the ground on each rep, - I was doing them
in the snow and you could see the two grooves on either side
of my footprints.

Also, its very important to have a guttural "breath" on the
upswing which not only strengthens the lungs but the abs
as well.

Yes, the breathing is a very important part of this exercise.

The great thing about Hindu Squats is that you can make
them as challenging as you want - a set of just 50 can put
be easy as pie or put you on the floor depending on how
you do them.

Try em and youll see.

Train hard,
John Wood

P.S. If you still dont have a copy, Id recommend grabbing
your own Combat Conditioning book where youll find all
kinds of info on Hindu Squats and 50 other great bodyweight
exercises:

7 Ways To Get Motivated For Your Workout

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Turbulence Trainig

There will be days (everyday?) when you don't feel like doing your workout.
Sometimes you don't want to get out of bed.
Sometimes you don't want to leave your office because you feel like there are too many deadlines (but this is when you need a workout the most!).
Sometimes you don't want to end story time with the kids only to head down to the basement gym.
It even happens to me.
But I knew how I'd feel like a million bucks after the workout.
And in the end, I know I can't let myself become "soft" and start skipping workouts. I have to lead by example.
But if you are set on achieving a goal, then when it's workouttime, come heck or high water you've got to bear down and do the job.
So here are 7 ways to get motivated for your workout and to get you inspired to get through your workout.

1) Reward yourself. Finish your workout and treat yourself to a magazine, a TV show, some extra time with your family, some new songs for your IPOD, or even a little extra time for yourself.

2) Or set up a punishment for missing workouts. Skip the workout, put $20 into a jar to spend on home repairs. Make sure your spouse controls the jar.

3) Review your goals everyday and every night. Keeping your goals fresh in your mind will help you stay on track.

4) Realize that the hardest part of the workout is often getting your butt to the gym. Once you get 5 minutes into the workout, you will be over the hump. So tell yourself, "I'll just go in and do 1 set of the first 2 exercises, then I can go". Next thing you know, you'll have done the entire workout.

5) Visualize yourself doing a great workout and finishing strong. Get yourself mentally prepared and you will literally have better workouts each time.

6) Crank the tunes. Seriously, nothing motivates like music.

7) Get social support. If you have a workout partner, you'll feel like crap if you let them down. Or become accountable to everyone in the Turbulence Training workout forums...if you don't post your workouts, they'll track you down and demand to know why you've fallen off track! So online or offline, get everyone on your side!


Now get out there and kick the fat to the curb,

Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTATION

I had somehow let my "IronMan" subscription run out after having it for ++15 years! After finally straightening it out, and reinstating my subscription I was thumbing through the latest "IronMan" magazine, and I noticed there seems to be alot of recycling of articles/pictures there, must be the whole "green" thing. Granted I do enjoy the obvious ones like reprints of Arnold interviews but some of the other stuff not so much. I really do like the newer stuff, training and nutritional info is still tops.
I wanted to touch on pre-workout supplementation, there are alot of recommendations out there. Fat burners, protein [shakes,pills, bars, etc], NOx increasers, secret potions....
There is also the school of thought that training on an empty stomach is best. The empty stomach works well for burning fat, but some can not work out on an empty stomach. I like to workout on an almost empty stomach. What is an empty stomach, if you work out 1st thing when you wake up your stomach is empty. Or at least 2 hours after a meal, more if you just sit on your but during that time. I used to take fat burners or energy pills. I now have been taking NOx Xplode by BSN. It gives energy plus a pump. I just mix 3 scoops @30-40 minutes prior to my work-out and I am good to go


If you are looking to save money on supplements and mix/make your own, try "Homemade Supplement Secrets". It not only tells you the ingredients, it gives you information behind the reason for each one and where to purchase them.

Home Gym

How do you "build" your own home gym?

You have to take in a few factors, then prioritize them.

-Goals: Decide if you want a space for conditioning, power lifting, bodybuilding, etc

-Space: how much, or how little space do you have?

-Budget: $$$$, again how much or how little

I built, Way I feel, is a nice home gym in my garage, but it took a few years to get there. I bought a little bit at a time, and I am still adding. See photos.

If you are short on space and cash there are 2 ways to start, that I'd recommend.

1. Body weight work-outs, you can do them in your living room, yard, basement, anywhere.

2. Kettlebells, you can start out small and grow as you do. Also you really do not need a heavy bell unless that is part of you goals [If you are buying some bells and would like some information, I have some files I can share with you, just let me know]

If you have the budget and space you can get a power rack, free weights, dumbells, etc, all at your own pace. Just remember what makes you happy won't always please others, it is your home gym.

COMBAT THE FAT

If you are looking for information on burning fat from your body while gaining muscle, here is a webinar with LIMITED seats left starting Monday 1/21/08, Check it ou now!!!

Study explains how protein keeps hunger at bay - Yahoo! News

Study explains how protein keeps hunger at bay - Yahoo! News

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Diets high in protein may be the best way to keep hunger in check, U.S. researchers said on Thursday in a study that offers insight into how diets work.

AN EXAMPLE TO USE FOR INTERVAL TRAINING

Tabata Intervals are names for research from a study conducted by Dr. Izumi Tabata and his research colleagues. The study was published in the journal, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. A Tabata Interval consists of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest. The cycle is repeated 8 times, for a total of 4 minutes, that is 1 cycle. After only 6 weeks of training like this, [doing 1 cycle] Dr. Tabata noticed a 28% increase in the anaeorbic capacity in the athletes. Tabata intervals are also very effective for fat loss. This type of interval training will raise metabolic rate for several hours after the workout session is completed. You will continue to burn fat several hours throughout the day. A Tabata I like to do is as follows:
Cycle 1 –hitting the heavy bag
Cycle 2 – Hindu squats
Cycle 3 - hitting the heavy bag
Cycle 4 – kettlebell swings
This is an intense interval workout which has the advantage of taxing both your anaerobic and aerobic energy systems.

Happy Belated New Years

Happy Belated New Years!!!
So I started my quest to lose 40 by 4/1/08. I started off with a cleansing/detox/flushing, whatever you want to call it. I was going to try the “Lemonade Diet” as recommended by my chiropractor but did not receive the information in time on how to do it, so maybe next time. Instead I used “Detoxatrim” based on another recommendation, started Sunday night and I am coming back to normal gradually. I will be following the “Warrior Diet” to continue losing. The 24 hours were the hardest as far as hunger. Tuesday was good, energy was actually up! Today I’m starting to feed again fruits, and salad. Tomorrow some protein. Then on to the diet, I will be using Turbulence Training For Fat Loss with some modifications. By that I simply mean I’ll be exchanging exercises for ones I can do at the gym or in my garage, and I will be adding 1 set on the first superset. Also on Saturdays I will work on my goal of getting 10 clean and presses with the 40kg bells, at the same time.
I was given an interesting idea for interval training from Bud Jeffries [join his newsletter at http://strongerman.com/index.html ] If you played some football you may remember doing Green Bay Sprints, these are similar but with a nasty twist! Take a kettlebell to a field do 10 swings, sprint 10 yards, do 10 push-ups, jog back, rest as little as needed. Then do 20, 30, 40….as much as you can, then do more the next time. What I’m going to do is limit my time to 15 minutes start with 10 the 1st time and see how it goes. If it is too easy next time I’ll start with 20, and so on. If I have time left I’ll just go back, [40,30, 20, 10]

Turbulence Training + BONUSES!!

CHECK OUT THE 5 BONUSES AT THE END
If you are interested in losing fat as quickly as possible in the comfort of your own home, then I have a guaranteed way to help you burn fat and sculpt your body. Just by using simple workouts that can easily be done first thing in the morning or after your children go to bed, without endless hours of cardio, fancy equipment or expensive supplements, then this will be the most important letter you ever read in your entire life. Here's why...
Craig Ballantyne is a fat-loss expert, publishing his fat-burning workouts in national magazines such as Men's Health and Oxygen, along with online newsletters EarlyToRise and Total Health Breakthroughs. You've probably come across his videos on Youtube and Men's Health, as well.
Craig has also created a trademarked fat loss system called Turbulence Training. And as a fitness expert with a sincere interest in your success for 2008, I've taken the time to evaluate all of your training options to help you reach your New Year's Resolutions. And you know what? After painstakingly reviewing the Turbulence Training workouts and fat loss philosophy, comparing them to the common long, slow cardio workouts that so many people are doing (unsuccessfully, I might add), I've found that Turbulence Training could be the most efficient and effective fat loss program on the market. With all of the "lose fat fast" programs and snake-oil supplements out there, I have a strict criteria that a program has to meet before I even consider recommending it to my friends. But Turbulence Training is the real deal - after all, if these workouts weren't, would the biggest fitness magazine in the world, Men's Health, feature Turbulence Training workouts? Of course not, they have too much to lose. On the other hand, you have nothing to lose. Because not only are his workouts proven by both research and experience, but you also have a hundred percent satisfaction guarantee that you'll love his workouts. Or just return it for your money back.
Let me tell you more about the Turbulence Training workouts.
First of all, they can all be done at home with a dumbbells, a bench, and an exercise ball (a chin-up bar is also helpful for those that are strong enough).
Second, thousands of both men AND women (yes, women too!) have used the Turbulence Training workouts successfully to lose fat in a very short amount of time. He's proven that you don't need to be at the gym everyday for an hour or more. In fact, the Turbulence Training workouts will only take 45 minutes, three days per week, and you can do everything at home. No need for fancy, expensive memberships, or long commutes to an annoying "mega-gym". Turbulence Training is as straight-forward as any fat loss program could be. There's no BS, no magic pills or powders to buy, and no expensive gym memberships required.
If you've ever struggled to figure out what to do next in your fat loss program, then worry no more. Turbulence Training spells it out, workout by workout, exercise by exercise, set by set, and rep by rep, for a full 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts. Plus, the program also includes additional beginner workouts that will help any newcomer get started on their fat loss plan.
How badly do you finally want to succeed this year?
Maybe you got off to a great start last year, but your momentum fizzled out because you lacked the time to train 5 or more hours per week as per last year's instructions. Or maybe you just got tired of doing the same workout week-in, week-out, but your program didn't have any variety. Well, all of those problems are fixed by the Turbulence Training program. With all of the introductory workouts, regular TT bonuses,16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts, AND these 5 limited-time bonuses, you could have enough workouts for over 6 months of fat loss. Imagine how you'll look in 6 months if you lose a pound of fat per week with Turbulence Training. Wait, don't just imagine. Visualize. Believe. And then achieve. Picture yourself on the beach, at long last enjoying the body you've always wanted. The body you've desired can be yours, and in less time than you've always thought necessary.
In addition to all of the workouts, you'll get Dr. Chris Mohr's TT Fat Loss Nutrition Guidelines, and Craig will tell you the #1 secret for sticking to a fat loss program. Get ready to experience a new body thanks to all the inches you'll lose, the pounds you'll shed, and the energy you'll gain in the next few days, weeks, and months with a structured, professionally-designed, fat loss workout that you can do at home. With Turbulence Training's efficient and effective exercise selection, and the use of time-saving, metabolism-boosting interval training, you'll get all of your workouts done in 45 minutes, three times per week. That's right, in less time than it takes to watch an episode of American Idol or Dancing with the Stars (even if you TIVO it!), you can make massive improvements in your body.
So here's why I'm writing:
Craig is quickly becoming an international fitness and fat loss expert. His on-line clients now span the entire globe, and he no longer has space for new clients. And those that are lucky enough to work with him one-on-one pay over $200 per session for his guidance through their personal Turbulence Training workouts.
But now the good news. Craig's put together the ultimate Turbulence Training package that contains not only 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts and 10 weeks of beginner programs, but he's also added 5 new bonuses that are available only for the next three days.

My Goal

"People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going." — Earl Nightingale: Author, The Strangest Secret, Lead the Field

Well I figured since I brought up goalc and accountability, I should share at least one of mine [I have 4] I plan on losing weight this year, a lot. I want to lose most of it fast, losing mostly fat, sparing as much muscle as possible. Then start building back up muscle, while still losing but slowly. I am shooting for 40lbs by 4/1/08, yes that is a lot. As per the S.M.A.R.T goals is it Attainable and Realistic? It may be borderline, but as they say shoot for the stars!!! At the end of each of my posts I’ll place a number which will be the count down, starting at 40. [Beginning in 2008]
Anyone looking for free info to help with a weight loss [or gain] goal Bodybuilding.com has a FREE personal trainer program and you can set up a page sort of like Myspace there to meet others. If I can be of help to you let me know!
