5 Fat Loss Tips!

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:47:59 +0000

At this time of year, we can use every last tip to help avoid
holiday weight gain.

So here are 5 more fat loss tips for beginner & advanced readers.

1) No liquid calories (with the exception of a post-workout drink).

Get rid of all the juices, the sodas, and the sports drinks. Liquid
sugar is the last thing you need when you are trying to lose fat.

You must also limit your alcohol intake – especially if you are
adding mix to drinks…that is a double calorie bomb! A single “Jackand Coke” is over 200 calories (100 calories from booze and 100 calories from mix).

2) No fast food.

Do not eat at fast food restaurants. Even if you choose what you
think is healthy, remember this:

Fast food restaurants are all about profit.

And in order to profit while giving you cheap, quick, and easy to
prepare foods, the quality of the food ingredients will be poor -
especially the protein.

Now you might have read that you can still make healthy choices at fast food restaurants. But you know what, that’s just
politically-correct opinion. If it’s fast food, it’s poor food.

Walking into a burger joint and grabbing a chicken breast on a
white bread bun with a piece of old lettuce and a half-green,
half-pink tomato is “barely” healthy eating.

The politically-incorrect truth is that it’s going to take time and
effort to eat properly. You will have to plan, shop, and prepare
healthy meals. You will have to spend time cleaning, cutting, and
cooking your food. That’s the truth.

But believe me, it will taste so much better than fast food, and
healthy eating will make you more alert. Eating fast food will make you feel terrible, and will make you want to have an afternoon nap at your desk.

Make one small improvement to your nutrition everyday for the rest of your life.

3) Eat more fruits and vegetables.

If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4 servings per day by the end of the week. And even if you think you are doing great by having 5 servings per day, you still need to double that (take 2-3 weeks to work your way up to 10 servings per day).

Stick with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables – organic if possible.

4) Eat 1oz of almonds or walnuts per day (1/2 oz in the AM, and the other half in the afternoon).

Most nuts are roasted in oils (possible source of trans fats), so
stick to natural or dry-roasted nuts.

Don’t panic…this small amount of nuts won’t make you fat, but will fill you up and help you lose weight.

5) Be consistent with your workouts.

And make sure the workouts are efficient and effective. To make it easy for you to follow, stick with the Turbulence Training fat burning workout system.

It doesn’t matter if you train in the morning before or after
breakfast, or at night before or after dinner, or at 1pm on days
when the moon is in line with Saturn…don’t worry about the
details, just train consistently.

6) BONUS TIP: Go for a walk after lunch or dinner (or anytime you eat a big meal). Research shows this will help you control your cholesterol and triglycerides, plus any movement is better than sitting around watching the TV and snacking.

Improve your lifestyle everyday,

PS – Change your workouts to beat a fat loss plateau.

“The constant shakeup is amazing. I look forward to my workouts. I feel so much better than I did 6 weeks ago. I had almost given up on fitness as I was becoming very frustrated with my plateaus. I started out at 233 lbs and am already heading for 225 in only a few short weeks. Thank you for developing this truly amazing program and for sharing with the rest of us. It’s very refreshing to enjoy working out again!”
Dave Heffernan

“Turbulence Training is AWESOME! I started working out in 2004 first time in gym at 39 yrs. Then I discovered T.T. in 2006 and started receiving unbelievable info on xercises/nutrition. Immediately I started incorporating T.T. in my busy schedule which is improving my strength, definition, flexibility and nutrition. Craig is quick to reply to questions and supportive. My confidence and strength has definitely improved. If I only knew of Turbulence Training in 2004. The gym crowd is really checking me out now.”
Kimmie Clark

“I lost 14 pounds this month and the weight is just falling off me.
My wife says I now look like when we first met and I still have
more to go. I can fit into my old jeans again which is a big deal
for me. I just cut back on starches and bread and do your routine 2-3 times a week. I never thought in a million years that just 10-20 minutes of weight training followed by some cardio would get me such steady results. I even cheat a bit on the weekends.”

I can already inclined bench 85, and I do a few other things that I’ve seen other people doing.

Strength Training Exercise routine ?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:00:12 +0000

Cardiovascular exercise is recommended after lifting weights so that your stored energy and fat gets burned up first. But is working out and lifting weights daily a better routine or every other day is better? Because for abs exercise it is recommended that we do it about 4 times a week so that the muscles have time to heal . .

What is a good strength training workout for creative people?

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 17:55:58 +0000

I have no trouble get cardio exercise—I love walking, swimming and dancing—and I get flexibility with my belly dance routine but I can’t find any strength training exercises I like. I’m not a weight-lifting type person and I’d like more variety than just plain pushups. I’d love to find some strength training exercises that offer the same creative expression I get from dancing. Thanks in advance.

How much time should be spent on cardio, strength training, or other exercise?

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 12:03:41 +0000

I am going to start working out this week but I don’t know how much time should be spent working each area. The gym I am going to (at my college) has weights, eliptical machines, bikes, rowing machines, a track, a pool, probably more stuff than that. If I exercise an hour a day, how much time should be spent in each area? Or two hours or whatever would be most affective for weight loss.
Okay, but how much time on each thing? 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes strength, 30 minutes swimming every day?

I need a Strength Training Exercise Program…?

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 12:11:20 +0000

I’m looking to get stronger and a lot more toned and defined. I have strong legs, but I want them more defined. My arms are really small, but they hold their own. I want to be able to get my arms bigger, as well as gain some pectorals and stomach abs. I’m about 5’9" 160 lbs. I used to run track and play soccer, but I just ran on pure talent, not really a strength program to help me with that extra push (small school, so not enough resources to do that sort of stuff). Is there anything I can do at home to get stronger? I work like 12-14 hours a day, so going to a gym is a can’t do. It’s about 22 miles to the nearest gym. Is there anything I can do to get my legs more defined, stronger and more toned arms, pecs, abs, and a stronger, more defined back? I’m also looking to get stronger by October 15th, when I go to basic Training for the Air Force. Thanks for your help!

Teenage boy needs a fitness training program to lose weight & train muslces? Read for details pls!?

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 10:51:54 +0000

My weight is around 68-72kg, and my height is 163cm.
In about 4 weeks, I need to be 64kg or less. That means 1kg per week. I hope that by 1st May, I would be about 58kg after losing fats and putting on some muscles.

However, I have a packed timetable. Every weekday, I’ll go to school at 6.00am and usually will only reach home at 5.00 exhusted. My college has arrnaged for me to do weight training every monday and friday for an hour. I am trying to arrange for time afterschool to exercise about, one hour every other day, meaning Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope to have two hours each on Saturday and Sunday to workout as well(one of which will be for swimming, most likely).

Either than losing weight & toning my body, I also like to train my NAFFA test which consist of pull-ups, standing board jump, shuttle-run, sit-up and 2.4 run.

I do not have any equipments at home and I’m not allowed to buy them. Please help!
