I have something very special to share with you today. It’s a poem that Dr. Kareem Samhouri wrote for you… it’s pretty inspirational, so I recommend you take a moment to really soak it in and see how you can apply this to your life:

*The Desire For Change*
by Dr. Kareem F. Samhouri, CSCS, HFS
*Neuro Metabolic Fat Loss Expert*

I am who I am, but I want more.

I want to be the person I promised myself I’d be, the example for my children, the motivation to succeed.

I desire to act graciously with the temple of my own body, be the example of health and the illustration of purity.

I often find that I compare myself with that which does not matter, while in my heart I know that true happiness lies inside of me.

It’s not the materialistic things that I want so badly, it’s the inner satisfaction I’ll gain from yielding success.

I believe I can be more than I currently am, and I believe I can live better with each day.

I can be the difference for my future family, and I can restore the goodness in my life.

I desire to change, for all the right reasons.

I desire to believe, as I once did.

I will change. I will believe.

I am.

Make the right move!

Can you picture yourself thin, lean, and in better shape than everyone else around you?

If you can’t, I want you to practice the following exercise:

Step 1) Take a deep breath – focus on ‘channeling out’ your mind and close your eyes

Step 2) Visualize your favorite vacation you ever took to the beach…except “change yourself in your mind’s eye” so that you notice everyone catching glimpses of you as you walk by the ocean with the warm sand touching your toes, the waves crashing right next to you, and the sounds of the seagulls in your surroundings… what’s the temperature like? Are you sweating? Are you proud of yourself? Who is with you?

Step 3) You’re still not quite sure why everyone is giving you ‘looks’ so you’re a bit confused… then, all of the sudden, as you pass by a mirrored building with your favorite new outfit on you, it dawns on you that you’re in the best shape of your life…. a smile breaks from your face, and feeling of calm pride rises over you…

Step 4) You get home, and your spouse/partner can’t stop staring as you take off your shirt. You feel ‘sexy’ for the first time in years… you’re overjoyed with this feeling and you nearly ‘attack’ one another, as you throw your arms around her/him…

You’d be surprised just how many great, fat burning foods you can find in your kitchen. If these foods are not currently in your kitchen, then I suggest going to the grocery store and purchasing them. What you carry in your kitchen is absolutely crucial to your fat loss.

My cousin recently told me about a very interesting study. They did a survey across the U.S. asking people if they ever felt extremely hungry. They found that the fatter the city, the hungrier the individual. How could this be?

Fatter people tend to feel hungrier because of mal-nutrition. They might consume a lot of calories, but the quality of the foods is to poor, that your body keep telling you your hungry. It’s searching for vital nutrients that it is not getting.

Hence, one of the most important keys to fat loss is to focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods.

Here is a list of foods that you should keep in your fridge to help kick-start your fat burning plan:

Spices

Now you know why some Indian people are so skinny. Ginger, garlic, cinnamon, mustard, and hot peppers are thermogenic foods. This means that they generate heat within your body and temporarily increase your metabolic rate. They also help add taste to your food without adding on empty calories.

Complex Carbs

The Low-Carb fad failed to acknowledge just how important carbs are for energy and recovery. I did try the low carb diets and they failed for me. Sure, I lost weight, but I also felt slow, sluggish, and tired. Instead, stock your kitchen with complex carbs such as brown rice, whole grain breads, beans, and oatmeal.

Vegetables

Veggies are extremely important for your body, and yet people avoid them. Veggies such as cauliflower, tomatoes, asparagus, and Brussel sprouts help regulate your metabolism and normalize your insulin levels. If you don’t like eating vegetables, then get yourself a good cook book and learn how to prepare them in a way that you enjoy.

Essential Fatty Acids

Essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Omega 6 can not be naturally produced in your body, so they must be ingested through your diet. Salmon and tuna are great sources of Omega 3. If you are unable to consume seafood, then you can supplement with capsules.

Lean Meats

Lean meats refer to muscular, larger-framed animals. Compared to 30 years ago, meat is 8-10 percent leaner. Many individuals avoid beef because of the high fat content. However, you need to search for leaner meat.

Fresh Fruits

Fruits contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Plus they taste good! I love my bananas, apples, and grapes and usually eat them as snacks throughout the day.

White or Green Tea

Unlike Black Tea, White and Green Tea undergo very little processing and no fermentation. White tea tastes extremely light and sweet compared to other types of tea. Green tea has been linked to greater fat burning and some fat burners even include green tea extract.

Nuts

I started increasing my intake of nuts when I learned about the benefits of healthy fats. Several studies have confirmed the benefits of increased intake of healthy fats, including increase fat loss.

Avocados

Avocados are one of these foods that people tend to avoid, but should actually consume more of! It is fruit high in monounsaturated fat, vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, and antioxidants.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is extremely high in protein. You can try it with chopped nuts and berries for a great snack. It is a rich source of calcium and vitamin K2 for your bones.

There you go! See if you have any of these super foods in your kitchen. If you don’t, then go to the grocery store and grab them. You may also want to get rid of your fat-gaining foods (but not by eating them. Give them to your neighbor).

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.
