Review of Turbulence Training (Lose-weight, tone-up, or get ripped)

Craig Ballantyne CSCS,MS, the author and creator of Turbulence Training is a world-reknowned Strength and Conditioning Specialist with a master's degree in Exercise Physiology. Craig has written numerous articles some appearing in Muscle & Fitnes Hers, Men's Fitness, Oxygen, Men's Health and more. He has created an amazing fat loss and muscle building program. One of the most comprehensive I've come across on the web.

Turbulence Training was developed out of Craig's years spent as a top trainer, his personal experience, and university studies.You can be assured that with Craig's impeccable credentials and solid reputation that he knows what he is talking about and is more than qualified to do so.

It may appear to be geared towards men (after all the author is a guy), but trust me it is designed for both men and women.

Ladies please don't be alarmed be the terms "build muscle" or "strength training" you will will tone-up, firm-up, and lose weight without bulking up.

Gentlemen, you too can lose weight, tone-up, and get ripped (if you're so inclined).

It works for men and women of all fitness levels.

Turbulence Training is time-efficient (30-45 minutes), research-proven (numerous studies), high intensity combination of resistance and interval training to lose fat and gain muscle.

I said high intensity, but high intensity in this program depends on the person performing the exercise. Turbulence Training was developed with all fitness levels in mind from the couch potato to the most active individuals. There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of the program and the intensity is all relative.

Turbulence Training is ideal for people (like me) with busy lives because it can be done in just 3 quick 30-45 minute workouts per week. The workouts can be performed in a gym or at home without any equipment (using your own body weight to perform the exercises) or with very minimal equipment. Which is great if you're short on time and short on money.

The workouts include a 5 minute warm-up followed by 15-20 minutes of strength training and 15-20 minutes of interval training.

Craig stresses the importance of changing/varying your workouts to constantly challenge your body. So depending on the level of fitness you're at you will only do each workout for 2-4 weeks. Which also means you won't get bored which has made it easier for me to stay with it.

Craig provides clear and concise descriptions along with photos of each exercise so you know that you are performing them properly.

Also included in the program are nutritional tips, an extensive FAQ section, and an easy to follow 21-Day Step-By-Step guide to fat loss, each day you incorporate one small tip into your program so you are not completely overwhelmed at the beginning as with so many other programs. You just need one small change a day for 21 days. The little changes made it much less intimidating. You don't have to change all your bad habits overnight.

When you order Turbulence Training you also get approximately 1 hour of audio clips with Craig discussing the Turbulence Training Program and Lifestyle and several bonus reports including one pack with nutritional info and a turbo fat loss program.

I found the audio clips to be informative and a great overview of the entire program and the concept, but I must be honest at times portions of the clips sounded a little monotonous. Nonetheless, they were a big help.

Overall, I have to say that I was extremely impressed and pleased with the entire program. It is working great for me. I've put on a few pounds and have lacked the motivation to do anything about it until now. I see the results in my jeans and in the mirror. My goal is to wear a swimsuit this summer for the first time in about seven years.

Craig offers an 8-week money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. So you have nothing to lose.

I wrote this article to try to help other people in situations similiar to mine. I am a single parent and don't have much money and I have very little spare time. Who has time to spend an hour a day on a treadmill or if you have been spending all that time doing cardio are you stuck in rut or at a plateau?

Craig Ballantyne has been my answer to weight loss and understanding exercise. Hopefully, you'll allow him to help you too. Good Luck!
