Before starting a fitness program, you should spend ample time studying the movements and make sure that you perform each exercise with near perfect form.

However, things happen and you never really know when something will go wrong. You might just be having a wrong day, or perhaps you were just careless that day.

You might have been lifting in the wrong manner, and this improper lifting technique caught up to you. One day you bent down to tie your shoes, and your back gave out.

It happens. But, especially with heavy lifting, if we follow some basic lifting techniques, we can avoid extreme back pain. But understand that your back has physical limitations

Proper Lifting Technique – Basic Points:

• Always keep your feet apart to help your balance. Bend with your knees first, not the waist. Keep your feet flat on the ground at all times. Do not extend your knees beyond your toes.
• If you lean forward, keep your back straight. Hold the object close to your body, and lift slowly. If you are unable to lift a heavy object without using momentum, then the object is too heavy for you.
• Lift with your legs. However, if the object is to heavy for you, lifting the weight with your legs can strain your knee joints. Make sure to have a spotter at all times.
• Make sure the weight is evenly distributed. Don’t try any fancy stuff with heavy weights. If you are performing a carrying movement, keep the weight close to your body.
• Pushing objects are easier on your back than pulling objects. However, if you have knee pains, realize that pushing a weight can strain the knees.

These tips will help you tremendously in movements such as the squat, dead lift, and bent over row. Even if you are training with a Kettlebell, make sure to keep your weight balanced and back straight.

If you are following a program that requires you to use momentum to lift the weight, make sure that the weight is easy to lift. Momentum training does not mean you lift as much weight as possible.

If you have further back problems, or are interested in back pain prevention, then Eric Wong is coming out with a Back Pain program in April. The name of the program is, “Bulletproof Back.”

I’ll tell you the exact dates when he releases the program and what it entails as soon as I receive the information. If you’re interested in this program, then enter your name and email to the list below so that I can keep you in the loop:

By now you all know who Craig Ballanytne is. He’s the creator of the original high intensity home program – Turbulence Training.

Over the years, he’s come out with some great workouts. The most famous of which is his 6-month bodyweight training manual.

Using this program, he’s put together an incredible deluxe package using only his bodyweight workouts to help you get the most out of your bodyweight training.

I had a little chat with Craig about his bodyweight workouts:

Parth: Craig, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to me. Lets get right into this. Tell me, what exactly is the Turbulence Training Bodyweight Deluxe package?

Craig: The Bodyweight Deluxe program is my famous 6-Month Bodyweight Training manual showing you how to lose fat and gain muscle with only bodyweight exercises. It includes some of the most challenging workouts I’ve ever created. You’ll love it, it’s a lot of fun.

Parth: I’ve tried some of those workouts, and I must say they are tough. But with a new fitness product coming out everyday, people get confused on where to start. What is one tip you would give to people starting out?

Craig: If you are completely beginner with no current workout history – or interest in working out – then simply find something you like to do, and do that activity. Combined with eating less, you’ll lose fat.

But if you want a structured workout for maximum bodysculpting, then you need to get a professional program. If you want to workout for 6 days per week, I don’t recommend that and you won’t like my program.

But if you want to get results in just 3 short workouts per week, with exercises you can even do at home if you want, then Turbulence Training will work perfect. We have a beginners program for people who aren’t working out, and an intermediate program for people who are experienced – but I make even my advanced clients start here.

Parth: Nice. Love the variety. Like I said, there are lots of fitness products coming out every single day. But people still prefer Turbulence Training over all the others. What makes Turbulence Training so special?

Craig: It’s proven. A lot of new programs are copycats but don’t have all of the magical ingredients that Turbulence Training does…and the biggest thing all these copycats don’t have is massive, massive, massive proof like Turbulence Training.

There are very few programs that can say they’ve been used by millions of Men’s Health, Women’s Health, and Shape magazine readers, plus all of the folks online and the good people in the TT Transformation Contests.

It’s really just Body for Life or Turbulence Training, and Turbulence Training is based on the most recent science and gets updated all the time.

Parth: Well, I like Turbulence Training because I can do it at home without any equipment. Speaking of which, lets talk about bodyweight training. What are the benefits of bodyweight exercise?

Craig: Most bodyweight exercises are a combination of resistance training and interval training, so they work to burn calories and sculpt muscles. You won’t become a massive bodybuilder with bodyweight exercises, although if you’re a gymnast and you train hours per day, it’s obvious that you can gain a lot of muscle mass.

But most people are going to get lean, athletic, fit bodies with bodyweight exercises, and as much as I love weight training, I have to admit that bodyweight exercises are easier on the joints.

Parth: True. You have a lot of different bodyweight programs out there. Just curious to know. What’s the main difference between training a man and training a woman?

Craig: Most women can and will work as hard as a guy, but they are fearful of getting bigger.

This won’t happen unless they eat too many calories, but I make two small changes…

First, I have women use more bodyweight exercises. Whenever possible, we’ll choose an equally difficult bodyweight exercise rather than using the dumbbell or barbell version. Women prefer this, and it might be slightly better for bodysculpting.

Second, we could also use fewer sets. Remember, getting big is all about volume – eating more and doing more repetitons. So we’ll only do 1 set per exercise with some women rather than 3 sets. That cuts back volume, and eliminates any fear of getting bigger.

Parth: Ok. This actually leads to my next question – why is muscle building so important in your quest to drop fat?

Craig: It’s not mandatory. You can lose fat without gaining muscle, and most women just want the fat loss.

But most guys need to gain some muscle if they want to look amazing, so that’s why I use muscle-building programs so much.

Plus, it’s important for everyone’s health to be as strong as possible in their old age.

Parth: Ok, so what’s the difference between Turbulence Training for Fat Loss, and Turbulence Training for Mass Gain?

Craig: The fat loss program is more of a home workout program focused on metabolic resistance training to sculpt the muscles and burn calories, along with interval training to burn more fat.

The mass program is supersets of heavy lifting focused on building strength and mass.

Parth: Makes sense. Alright, so what’s your background Craig? What motivated you to create the Turbulence Training bodyweight workouts?

Craig: Like most folks in the fitness industry, I played a lot of sports when I was younger. That led to weight training. From there, I realized I wanted to be a strength coach in professional sports.

I went to school for Kinesiology, which then led to a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. Along the way I studied what made a good NHL Strength Coach (they had Master’s Degrees and were Certified Strength And Conditioning Specialists – CSCS).

I also started training athletes, along with men and women for fat loss. Then I started working with Men’s Health in 2000. And I invented Turbulence Training in 1999, and finally put it online in 2001. The rest is history.

Parth: Yup, and it’s looks like it’s been a great run. Hopefully I’ll see some more great Turbulence Training workouts for many years to come.

So, as I stated in the interview, Craig has some great workouts. To learn more about each of his workouts, click on the links below to read their reviews:

The Fat Burning Kitchen is a nutritional eBook written by Mike Geary and Catherine Ebeling. Lets take a look at some some pros and cons of this ebook:

Pro: Easy to Read and Apply

Most eBooks get too scientific, especially nutritional eBooks. Well, the Fat Burning Kitchen is extremely easy to read and implement. Mike goes step by step and tells you exactly what to eat, and what to avoid.

Just take a look at the contents to see how simply this eBook is organized:

• Chapter 1 – Foods made with refined flour and corn products
• Chapter 2 – Food and drinks containing high fructose corn syrup
• Chapter 3 – Margarines, vegetable oils, trans fats, Crisco
• Chapter 4 – Artificial Sweetners – Splenda, NutraSweet, Saccharin
• Chapter 5 – Commercial Pasteurized Dairy
• Chapter 6 – Commercially raised meats; farm-raised fish
• Chapter 7 – Soymilk, tofu, TVP
• Chapter 8 – Sports/Energy Drinks
• Chapter 9 – Energy Bars
• Chapter 10 – Processed Foods, Weight-loss meals, Diet Snacks, and Diet Desserts

• Chapter 21 – Herb Teas
• Chapter 22 – Items to Keep in Your Kitchen
• Chapters 23 – The Transformation Has Begun!

Wow, Mike doesn’t joke around. He tells you everything about everything!

Pro: Exposes certain “Healthy” foods that are really Unhealthy

Food makers seem to be able to do anything they want with very little regulation. There are hundreds of foods that people are consuming regularly that are marketed to you as healthy, but really are not.

Right on the 6th page of the eBook, Mike talks about the processing of foods. Do not skip over this section. You absolutely know how the foods that you eat are being processed and how it effects your body.

Whenever a company tells you something is low-carb, non-fat, low-fat, high protein etc., the food is processed. Our ancestors ate unprocessed foods. We don’t. (Mike will tell you why this is an important distinction).

Con: You May need to Drastically Change your Diet

Most people reading this will be shocked at what they’re eating. I know I was! I thought I ate pretty healthy, but there were a few things I was eating that were absolutely not healthy for me.

For example, the American diet is very heavily based on corn. Corn is a type of grain. Our ancestors who’s diets were heavy on grain suffered from high rates of anemia, arthritis, and osteoporosis.

Pro: Written by Two Experts

Another thing I like about this eBook is that it’s written by Mike Geary and Catherine Ebeling. Mike Geary is a world-renowned certified trainer and nutritionist. He is also the author of Truth About Abs (you’ve probably heard of it).

Catherine Ebeling is another certified nutritionist. Now, not one person knows everything. So, it’s a good idea to team up with someone and create a complete product that answers all of an individual’s questions.

As you can see from the contents posted above, the eBook certainly is packed with a lot of great information. It’s true what they say: two heads are better than one.

Con: Gets Too Scientific…Sometimes

I stated this book was easy to read. It is. But sometimes, actually at a few points, the book gets a bit too scientific. Push yourself through these areas because they are very vital to read.

I suggest reading the entire eBook from front to back, chapter by chapter, line by line. At the end, if there’s something you don’t understand you can always review it.

If there is still something that you need to be cleared up, you can always ask me or shoot an email to Mike. Mike has a great support team ready to answer all your questions.

Pro: You’ll Achieve a leaner and healthier body

It’s not going to be easy, but with Mike’s help you’ll certainly be that much closer to achieving a healthier body. He’s constantly giving you incredible tips throughout the book.

For example, most individuals avoid fats completely when trying to lose weight. The truth is, eating certain fats can actually help you get leaner. Eating the wrong kinds of fats (which most people do) will lead to fat gain, and other health issues.

Another thing people do when trying to lose weight is to switch to artificial sweeteners. These sweeteners can be extremely harmful to the body and have caused numerous side effects (one of the caused excessive urination..what!)

Pro: Includes Video Lessons

The last thing that is so incredible about Mike’s eBook is that he also includes video lessons. Reading something and visually seeing something are two different things.

Mike has teamed up with Isabel (author of The Diet Solution) to give you a series of videos that can be used alongside with the Fat Burning Kitchen. These videos are only for people who purchased the Fat Burning Kitchen.

Overall, Mike’s created an amazing product!

If you’ve signed up to Dr. Kareem Samhouri’s mailing list then you’ve been getting a lot of his emails to the video’s he’s posting up on his website, DoubleEdgeFatLoss.com. Well, I’ve been keeping a close eye on those videos and have tested out some of his workouts.

For those that are still a bit confused as to what exactly Double Edged Fat Loss is, then let me sum it up for:

What you’re doing is using movements that place the greatest amount of stress on your body, and work the most amount of muscle at once. This is exactly why burpees work so well with fat loss.

I believe that we are moving into a new phase of fitness. We learned many unique movements through Scott Sonnon’s TacFit Commando program. Now it seems we are in for a real treat with Dr. Samhouri’s program.

• The first phase of fitness involved basic movements such as Pushups, Pullups, Deadlifts, and Squats. These are one-dimensional, compound movements.
• The second phase of fitness involved Hybrid movements such as burpees, thrusters, sumo deadlift high pulls. These are usually two-dimensional, compound movements.
• The third phase of fitness involved incorporating Olympic lifts into our training. Snatches and cleans were done using dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, and barbells.
• The fourth phase of fitness involved multi-dimensional movements with your bodyweight or a single piece of equipment. Programs developed by Coaches Scott Sonnon, Adam Steer, and Ryan murdock revolve around these movements.

Now, Dr. Samhouri is introducing the next step up: multi-dimensional, compound movements on unstable surfaces. The idea of unstable training is to condition the working muscles in three planes of movement at once, and to work stabilizer muscles.

Over the years, trainers have taken this concept and spun into their own, ridiculous methods that don’t do anything at all. But Dr. Samhouri’s exercises are a bit more down to earth and realistic.

Unstable training is supposed to do one thing: make the movement harder. It’s something I’ve been talking about many times before. Unstable training does not mean that you stand on a bosu ball with one leg and try to press a heavy dumbbell over your head.

That will just get you hurt. What it does mean is taking a basic movement such as a pushup, and doing it on a stability ball or other unstable surface. Dr. Samhouri has taken some great hybrid and compound movements and combined them with unstable training.

But the movements are safe and their practical. That is what really impresses me about Dr. K’s program.

If you haven’t yet signed up for Dr. K’s mailing list, then you can still do so here.

So you want to reveal your six pack abs? Well, you need to start off by choosing the right exercises. The right exercise will challenge you and help you improve your fitness level. Long are the days where you did hundreds of crunches and sit ups daily.

Crunches are not a very efficient abdominal exercise because they do not work the entire main ab muscle (rectus abdomonis). Also, if you have back pain

Now we’re smarter. We realize that excessive, high-rep abdominal training is dangerous and causes lower back pain that can potentially derail you from achieving your goals. Instead, try and make a movement more difficult, instead of just adding repetitions.

Here are some great movements you can try:

Stability Ball Roll outs

• Place your knees on a mat and your hands outstretched on a stability ball. Roll the ball out. You should feel a stretch in your abs. Keep your back straight and abs tight. Roll the ball back to starting position and repeat.
• You can also do this movement with an ab wheel.

Stability Ball Jackknives

• Place your elbows on a bench and your feet on a stability ball. Keep your back straight and abs tight. Bring you knees into your chest, and back out.

Side Plank

• Lay on your side and place one forearm on the ground. Raise your body up, keeping a straight line from your head to your toe. Rest your body on your forearm and the side of the foot.
• Make sure to keep your back straight and abs tight. Lower back down and repeat on the other side.

One of the best ways to create intense abdominal workouts is to organize them into supersets. Supersets are where you perform two exercises back to back with little to no rest in between each set.

This is also a great way to get your workouts done faster. A sample superset using the above exercises would be to perform 10 roll outs, immediately followed by 10 jackknives. This counts as one set. Rest 30-60 seconds, and repeat.

Once you get stronger, you can use some other high intensity techniques:

Trisets  – perform 3 exercises in a row with no rest in between.

Giant Sets – perform 4 exercises in a row with no rest in between.

Bonus Tip: Interval Training

Just doing ab workouts isn’t going to give you a six pack. You also need to perform cardiovascular exercise. The best form of cardio is interval training. Interval training is better at raising your metabolism and burning fat than steady state cardio.

Interval training is where you perform a movement at a high intensity level for a short period of time, followed by a period of rest. For example, you can do an all-out jump rope for 30 seconds, followed by 60 seconds of easy jump roping.

I’ve actually come across a great, 4-week fitness program developed by Craig Ballantyne which includes some great superset ab workouts. Click here to get this free program.

Want to finally reveal those six pack abs? Well, I’m going to show you how to design some great abdominal workouts. The technique like to use is super sets. A super set is where you perform two exercises back to back with little to no rest in between each set.

So, here’s a template you can use to design your super set workout:

• 1) Exercise 1, Sets x Reps/Time
• 2) Exercise 2, Sets x Reps/Time
• Rest x Seconds

To start off, simply take the two abdominal exercises you wish to use in your workout and plug them into the template. Here is a short list of some great abdominal movements. Beside each exercise, I’ve posted a recommended amount of repetitions/time that you should perform:

1. Plank (45 seconds)
2. Stability Ball Jackknives (15 repetitions)
3. Side Plank (30 seconds)
4. Stability Ball Cross-Body Mountain Climber with Feet on Ball (10 repetitions)
5. Plank with Arms on Ball (30 seconds)
6. Ball Rollouts (15 repetitions)
7. Hanging Knee Raise (10 repetitions)
8. Dumbbell Renegade Row (10 repetitions)
9. Ball Jackknife – Pushup Combo (10 repetitions)
10. Cross-Body Mountain Climber (15 repetitions)

Once you’ve chosen your two exercises, decide how many repetitions or time you want to perform the movement. I’ve already posted the recommended repetitions/time beside each exercises, so you can simply start from those recommendations.

Next, decide how many total sets you wish to perform. My suggestion is to start off with 2 sets, and build your way up to 5 total sets.

Finally, you must decide how long you want to rest after each superset. Beginners may need to rest as long 2 minutes. Advanced trainees can get away with a 30 second rest period, or no rest at all.

I’ve actually come across a great, 4-week fitness program developed by Craig Ballantyne which includes some great superset ab workouts. Click here to get this free program.
