Turbulence Training - Fat Burning Workout Tips

Enjoy!

1) Change the tempo, baby

Slower lowering tempos often lead to more soreness. But it is a differnt training stimulus. I think it is worthwhile to go up to 4 seconds on the lowering phase. I don’t like to use slow lifting, but I don’t mind slow lowering. So next time you did dumbbell chest presses, take 4 seconds to lower the weight to your chest. Alternatively, when doing squats, take 4 seconds to lower yourself to the bottom position. This will make you hurt so good.

2) Opposite workout approach

If you are doing weights, try using bodyweight exercises instead, and vice-versa. So let’s say you are doing dumbbell chest presses, switch to an advanced pushup instead. Or maybe you are doing db rows, so switch to pullups, chinups, or bodyweight rows. Doing lunges? Switch to bulgarian split squats and use the 1 & 1/2 rep style.


3) Do ONE strength before…

Turbulence Training 5 Kettlebell Abs Exercises

You’re already aware that doing endless crunches or situps will NEVER get you six-pack abs, right? Let’s understand why and how Kettlebell training can help you get a 6-pack that works.

One of the many functions of your abdominals is to stabilize your spine and torso - to hold you upright, not allowing your torso to collapse.

That said, by swinging, snatching or doing any Kettlebell exercises where your center of gravity is being moved around, you are using your abs to resist rotation or any excessive lateral flexion (bending sideways). Doing this forces your abs to contract or brace and protects your very sensitive lower back area forcing your abs to not only work the way they were meant to work, but doing it at every conceivable angle.

Kettlebell training is interval training "on steroids".

Interval training, usually done at the end of a workout, involves bouts of high intensity exercise (sprinting, bodyweight circuits, complexes, etc) followed by recovery periods.

Research has shown that training of this type creates an amazing fat burning response and will spare your hard-earned muscle.

Traditional Kettlebell training usually involves doing a series of full body exercises and movements continuously without any rest until we reach a certain time or until we finish our required number of repetitions. These "circuits" or "drills", as they are sometimes called, give us a more of challenge simply because we adding KB into the mix. The result is one of the gut wrenching interval sessions you’ve ever done in your life. And the beauty of it is the variety of movement that will reduce the amount of overuse that occurs with traditional sprinting on a track or bike.

Kettlebell training, although it’s history is rich in tradition, is the wave of the future. It’s the hottest 6-pack-abs generator of the moment and will definitely help you get those rock hard abs you’ve been looking for.

Forget the crunches and sit-ups watch the video for your six pack abs solutions with kettlebells.

Six Pack Abs Solutions 21st Century Ab Training

This article and video takes you through the evolution of 21st century ab training.


You'll find 6 different ab exercises where the focus isn't on crunching or spinal flexion, but instead is geared towards providing a core workout that offers stabilization and resistance rotation.

Just because these ab exercises aren't your traditional crunches, doesn't mean that you won't get that great ab burning feeling following your workout.

These core exercises will still help build 6 pack abs, but in a much safer way that will reduce the incidence of low back pain.

The first ab exercise in the evolution of ab training is a simple plank.

This exercise needs to be mastered by beginners and those at risk of low back pain. The goal here is to work up to a 90 second to 2 minute hold in the plank position.

The next core exercise is the side plank or side bridge. A little more difficult than the regular plank, the trick here is to keep your body in a straight line and keep those hips raised.

Once you've mastered those ab exercises, try the plank with your elbows on the stability ball.

According to Men's Health magazine, this exercise works your abs 30% hard than a regular plank. To increase the difficulty of this ab exercise, try moving the ball further away from your body.

The fourth ab exercise to work your entire core is the stability ball jackknife.

Here, you will place your feet on the stability ball and your hands on the floor or elbows on a bench. Then you will bring your knees to your chest, while maintaining the plank position, and then return to the starting position.

Similar to the ab wheel, the next exercise in the evolution of ab training is the stability ball rollout.

Place the ball in front of you, with your hands on the ball, roll the ball out, stretching and maintaining your back in a straight line, and contract to return to the starting position.

The last ab exercise is a plank rotation.

When you take a regular plank and combine it with a side plank, the subsequent resisting rotation works to provide a total body workout.

So to perform this exercise you will start in the side plank position, and without moving your hips rotate to a regular plank, and then over to the opposite side plank position.

Continue to do this, while keeping your back straight and hips raised.

Crunches are old news. You just won't get the same total body benefits of this new type of training.

Try out these 6 ab exercises that will provide not only an exceptional core work, but a total body workout as well.

Six Pack Abs 5 Odd and Effective Ab Exercises

Good Morning,

this morning I have a guest article from Craig Ballantyne of the  Turbulence Training program. This morning Craig is going to give you some of his favorite Abs exercises (and not a crunch in sight). Craig is also promoting the sale he has going on for his Turbulence Training for Abs program.

Don't worry about that right now read the article there are some great tips and surprises. You may take a very different (and more effective and efficient) approach on how to train your abs. When you go over to Craigs site (hit the link at the end) you can get some nice freebie workouts and video. Okay so enough from me. Here's Craig.

In the last week I've been asked three times on Facebook for my top 3 oblique exercises...so today I'm going to give you my top 5.

Is that okay if I give you 5 cool ab exercises instead of 3? Oh, and none of them involve useless pain-in-the-neck crunches.


Here they are...

1) Cross-Body Mountain Climbers

One of my favorite ab exercises in general, this provides an intense contraction in those muscles that show up on the beach running down into your swimsuit. These are eye-catching muscles...as you can see in my "so famous it's infamous" abs photo on my site.


2) KB or DB Renegade Rows

It doesn't matter if you use a kettlebell or flat/hexagonal dumbbells for this one, the renegade row requires an intense ab contraction to maintain proper form.


Both of these exercises are hard to describe but you can get them on DVD and do them with me here:


=>Turbulence Training For Abs dvds


3) Spiderman Pushups & Spiderman Climb Pushups

In the past 5 years I've made these two exercises extremely popular in the fitness world, and even though they are a push-up, they still both work your obliques extra hard.

4) High Rep DB Rows

Another "non-ab exercise", but high-rep dumbbell rows done with  perfect form and a challenging weight will give you tremendous soreness the next day.

I should mention that all top trainers now understand that the purpose of your abs is NOT to violently twist and crunch your torso, but instead to hold it straight and stable, RESISTING the rotation that "out of touch" trainers are telling you to do.

So with these ab exercises, not only are you getting a set of amazing abs and obliques, but you're also saving your back and neck from the pain that comes with crunches and situps.


5) Stability Ball Cross-Body Mountain Climbers

Finally, an advanced version of the regular cross-body mountain climber. This adds more upper body work but still does a number on your obliques and your six pack abs. This is another one you'll need to do with me on video.


* Honorable Mentions: *


a) Planks, Stability Ball Planks, & Side Planks


Not exciting but quite effective...& if you think these are "too easy", you ain't doin' them right. Research shows side planks to be more effective for your obliques than many traditional crunches.


b) Hanging leg raises & Chin-ups+Knee-ups


These are advanced movements, but they work your "lower abs"...and your lower abs are, as Dr. McGill explains, really just where your obliques insert onto the iliac crest...so that's why these are great oblique exercises as well.


c) Stability Ball Jackknives & Stability Ball Jackknife Rotations


These are similar to the cross-body mountain climber variations, although both legs move up together.

Again, words just can't do these exercises justice, and unfortunately I can't fly to everyone's house to take you through a workout.


That's why I've put together all of my favorite ab exercises, for both beginners and advanced in my complete Turbulence Training for Abs DVD program.

It's like having me in your home training you in person...and going through each and every rep of every exercise together.

And as part of my 35th Birthday Month, I'm celebrating by knocking another $35 off the price...or you can take advantage of the $35 payment plan here:
