Turbulence Training Review: Gain Muscle, Burn Fat

While some people may be interested in learning about how Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training program will help them become fit, this review takes the approach to this training from the standpoint of weight loss. Many times weight loss information products don't include an exercise program in the information they provide. Participants in those programs are expected to find a program that fits them or to design their own exercise regimen.

This review has been provided to assist those people who are seeking a quality exercise plan that will assist them to burn fat while not losing muscle mass. If you need a program that will help you jumpstart your efforts to lose belly fat while promoting overall fitness, you won't find a better program to follow than Ballantyne's Turbulence Training.

Craig is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and personal trainer who has a Master’s Degree specializing in Exercise Physiology. He is therefore well qualified as an expert in the area of physical conditioning. In fact, other professional personal trainers (like Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper of "The Biggest Loser" fame) have personally endorsed and used his techniques and approach with their own clients.

To begin with, Craig's exercise system doesn't require an inordinate amount of time to complete. That is, unless you consider 45 minute sessions three days a week to be time consuming; that's only two and a quarter hours a week. You do, though, need to be consistent, but any exercise program requires consistency of its participants to be effective. So, there's nothing new in that department.

One of the advantages of Craig's method of training is that it can be done at home using body weight exercises or in a gym using exercise equipment. This flexibility means that it's up to you how you approach it. So, there's no need to spend money on acquiring exercise equipment if you don't want to.

The key concept behind how this system of exercise works is highly intense, short burst workouts. Additionally, the exercises are completed in intervals, which Craig calls Interval Training. There's very little rest time between exercise intervals, which keeps the body in a constant state of turmoil. This is the "turbulence" part of the program.

The idea is to achieve a peak performance from the body several different times throughout the exercise regimen. These short burst workouts are done to achieve maximum efficiency in burning calories using short intervals. This is something that slow cardio exercises (like jogging) won't ever achieve! This approach also helps to build endurance, so you're killing two birds with one stone: burning calories and extra fat while increasing endurance.

At the same time, if you are taking a protein supplement (like a whey shake) after your workouts, your muscles can recover the protein they expended during the workout, helping you to maintain muscle mass while burning the fat for energy. And for someone whose trying to sculpt a leaner, meaner body, this is a perfect workout to use in combination with any weight loss plan. You'll not only lose that extra fat much quicker, you'll feel physically better for doing so!
