Review of Turbulence Training: The Program that Promises Maximum Fat Loss in Minimum Workout Time
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.
