Lose Your Fat - Turbulence Training Program Review

Meet the newest, most popular weight loss workout routine...Turbulence Training. Turbulence training is based on research completed by Craig Ballantyne. Turbulence will help you lose your fat by introducing a unique weight training style called interval training. This sets and reps training will help you reduce time spent during your routines and decrease boredom which can occur from weight training, which is a sign of most effective diet programs.

The workouts outlined are intense, but shows why it is one of the most effective diet or weight loss programs out there. Since the workouts are so intense, you may need to be in some initial shape to be able to keep up. In most cases, this program is ideal for those who have already started some sort of healthy weight loss program, however, not always necessary. As with all self-guided programs, you can always repeat sections until you can continue with the program.

Because of this, some of you may not like my next suggestion...introduce cardio into your workout, such as regular cycling, running, stair climbing, etc. as part of your weight loss program. This type of exercise is not part of the Turbulence Training program, but combined with, you will beat the hours most others spend in fitness centers. Safe to safe, no need to be a 'gym rat' to be successful with this program.

This program is truly the foundation of information in magazines such as Mens Health and Mens Fitness. Granted, the articles in those magazines are more for toning and getting into better shape, not the intense structure of Turbulence Training for weight loss.

My Personal Experience

I found this program very well rounded. It mimicked mostly what my personal trainer had outlined. I recall my PT stressing the fact about time spent during the routine; not to let your whole body rest between sets; keep the pace going and as with Turbulence Training, keep up the intensity. This program does really kick your butt and boosts your weight loss.

Using this program should cut your workout times down to around 30 minutes. Unlike with running, where time on your feet is most critical, weight work is more about how much you do and dispel the myth about between sets rest. Not only will you reduce your workout times, but you will lose your fat at a higher rate of speed.

As you have probably noticed, there is no true diet plan with Turbulence Training. This is okay; it is better to get the proper information on the topic the author is known for, rather than some weak, by-product. My suggestion would be to also look into a nutrition-based program to help with your eating habits. All-in-all, if you are looking to lose weight, you need to change your workout AND your eating routines.

Pros: As I stated above about stay the course as an expert in your field...that is what Craig does; there are plenty of different workout options; the workouts are quick, no requirement to spend all day in the gym, with most of the exercises can be done at home.

Cons: The workout is so intense that you will need to make personal adjustments to the schedule, based on your level of fitness; if you are already 'skinny', this is not the program for you, nor is this the program for you if you are looking to build big muscle mass.

Overall, the program does what it says and it is an ideal weight loss program.
