Best Turbulence Training Program For Fat Loss By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Turbulence Training
Beginners will lose a lot of fat with Turbulence Training if they start the programs in the right order. Here's how... Q: Which program should I start with if I am a total beginner? Answer: Total beginners should start with the Introductory Program in the main Turbulence Training for Fat Loss manual or the Preparation Phase in the 6-Month Bodyweight Manual.
Q: Which program should I start with if I am experienced but haven't worked out for a while? Answer: Please start with the Intermediate Workout from the main Turbulence Training for Fat Loss program or the Preparation Phase in the 6-Month Bodyweight Manual. Please note: If you start with the Intermediate Workout, do only ONE SET per exercise in each workout in the first week. Q: Which program should I start with if I am an advanced exerciser? Answer: This depends on your goals. You can use the Workout of the Month if it suits your goals. But here are more specific recommendations... For fat loss, I suggest you start with the "Original Turbulence Training Workout" from the main Turbulence Training for Fat Loss manual. Work your way through each following workout in the manual. Upon completion of this manual, you can move to any workout you desire. For muscle building, you can use the April 2007 "At Home Dumbell Muscle Building
Program", or the Turbulence Training for Mass or Turbulence Training for Muscle (September 2006) programs. For bodyweight training, I suggest you start with at least 1 week in Phase 1 of the 6Month Bodyweight Manual, and then you can jump to Phase 2 if you find that too easy. Q: I don't understand the format of the Turbulence Training workouts. Can you explain how I do the supersets? Answer: Here's how a full Turbulence Training workout looks like...In this example, each superset is done be done (3x8), meaning 3 times through and 8 repetitions per set. Start with a bodyweight warmup and then move onto the supersets. 1A) 8 reps No rest. 1B) 8 reps Rest 1 Minute. 1A) 8 reps No rest. 1B) 8 reps Rest 1 Minute. 1A) 8 reps No rest. 1B) 8 reps Rest 1-2 Minutes and go to Superset 2. 2A) 8 reps No rest. 2B) 8 reps Rest 1 Minute. 2A) 8 reps No rest. 2B) 8 reps Rest 1 Minute. 2A) 8 reps No rest. 2B) 8 reps Rest 1-2 Minutes and go onto superset 3 if applicable. After doing the same as above for Superset 3, then rest as necessary and move onto
Intervals - starting with the warmup. After cooldown for intervals, finish with static stretching for tight muscle groups. Done. Q: What does tempo mean? What does the 2-0-1 beside an exercise mean? Answer: The first number refers to the lowering phase of the exercise, then the next number refers to a pause (if there is any), and the third number refers to the lifting phase of the exercise. For example, in a pushup done at 2-0-1, you would take 2 seconds to lower your body, no pause, and then one second to lift yourself back up. If it said 2-1-2, you would take 2 seconds to lower, pause for 1 second, and then 2 seconds to slowly lift yourself back up.
