The
Turbulence Training book focuses on dropping cardio workouts because they are
just not producing the results of losing fat and increasing muscle. The book
emphasizes techniques that involve weight-training regimes combined with
interval training. This is believed to be the key to burning the fat and
increasing muscle mass. The book is designed to keep in mind the busy life
styles that most men are subjected to, and the time constraints that he must
face with work and family. It was one of the biggest considerations when
designing the program to fit an at home regime. It was also a priority to
include women in the program, as their need to reduce fat and tone muscle is
just as great.
About The
Author
Craig
Ballantyne is the founder and developer of the turbulence training program. He
is a certified strength and conditioning specialist that is well known in his
field of expertise. This alone gives the credibility to a program such as this.
In addition to his hands on training of numerous clients, Craig has also
written many advice articles for the major magazines such as Oxygen, Men’s
Health, and Men’s Fitness just to name a few.
What Is The
Program Concept?
This
program focuses on what works best for women and what works best for men using
the same concept but a slight change in technique. Being as men and women have
different body structures as well as different metabolisms so it makes sense
that there would be some slight alterations in the approach.
Where do
I Exercise?
If you
can afford the time to dedicate to three short workouts during the week then
you will benefit from Craig’s program. It certainly is a refreshing thought not
to have spent hours on mundane cardio exercises. The real bonus is all this can
be done right in the home. It is slightly more intense in duration for the men.
What Do I
Need To Buy:
Aside
from Craig’s ebook there is not too much that you will require by way of equipment.
Although
you can participate in this program totally from home, you will require a few
pieces of minor equipment. You will need some dumbbells, an exercise bench and
an exercise ball. In all likeliness if you have been on the fat burning pursuit
for some time, then by now you are probably have a lot more equipment then this
spread out through the rec room. So these few items should not be an issue.
What Part
Does Nutrition Play In This Program?
Although
the turbulence training program does not focus on nutrition, it is widely
recognized that a healthy eating lifestyle is critical to the total success of
any program. Craig has made the decision that this topic would be better
addressed in a separate entity. Therefore, for this reason, he has included a
book on nutrition as part of his bonus package.
Is There Any Support Materials?
Seven
bonus books come with the program. In addition to this is an all important
3-month basic level membership to the turbulence forums. There is valuable
information to be gleaned from this forum, so it really is like an extension to
the package.
What is
The Consensus?
The
consensus amongst the fitness buffs is the turbulence training program
supercedes the long drawn out cardio workouts. These are found to be very time
consuming and in many cases not all that beneficial. Craig’s program is gaining
favoritism because it is geared towards a busy life style that just can not
afford a long detailed training regime.
