This is just 1 of the new 31 TT Bootcamps workouts, and specifically, this is Part 2 of 3 for the TT Abs Bootcamps series.

It’s called “Abs Endurance” because of the endurance nature of the abs circuit at the end of the program, but like all TT workouts, it is a total body fat blasting program.

REMEMBER – Train at your fitness level…take extra breaks if you need them. Do only one round of each circuit if you are have not  been exercising recently.

Train safe, train smart, and have fun.

Enjoy!

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:

Some of you may be familiar with density training. If not, then here’s a little primer: the idea is to perform more work in a shorter period of time. You can do this 2 ways:

• Try to perform more repetitions within a given time frame
• Try to perform the same amount of repetitions, faster

So, for example if you were able to perform 100 pushups in 5 minutes, your goal with the first method would be to perform 101 pushups in 5 minutes. However, if you’re using the second method, you want to perform those 100 repetitions in 4 minutes, 59 seconds.

Either way, you’ll be working harder, hence boosting your metabolic rate and burning bucket loads of fat (well not, REALLY bucket loads, but you get the point!).

We’re going to focus on the first method and try to perform as much work in 12 minutes time. Here are two workouts to get you started:

Workout A:

• KB Swings, 15 reps
• Feet Elevated Pushups, 10 reps
• Gorilla Chins, 5 reps

Workout B:

• KB Front Squat, 15 reps
• Dips, 10 reps
• Pullups, 5 reps

For each of these workouts, set a timer for 12 minutes. Move through each exercise, completing all repetitions as suggested. Rest as you wish, but the time will count against you. Do not stop the timer at any point. The idea is to complete as many rounds as possible.

So for example, in the first workout, the timer stopped after your 6th round. On your 7th round, you were in the middle of pushups. You did 5 pushups. So count the rounds you performed, PLUS the additional repetitions for each exercise. Each round has a total of 30 repetitions. So 6 rounds means you did 180 repetitions. Plus, you did 15 KB swings and 5 pushups. So your total score for that workout is 200.

For next week, your goal is to achieve a score of at least 201 repetitions. If you pushed yourself hard in the first week, getting a few extra repetitions in will be tough. It’s not uncommon to see a DROP in performance in your second week. I have no idea why this happens, but it happens.

As you get used to these sort of workouts, things start to get interesting. You start to look at how to score higher by modifying the order of the exercises. For example, if you feel that KB Swings are the easiest and require the least amount of energy, you might see if putting it at the end of the circuit might help you increase your overall score.

Craig Ballanytne, creator of Turbulence Training actually came out with a whole slew of 12 minute workouts a few months back. Now he has a set of 19 DVD’s that he’s selling for $299. I believe it’s certainly worth the price. And it sucks that I’m not allowed to reveal to you the exact workouts in the DVDs.

But trust me, they’re tough, and they’re unique. Craig always comes up with the greatest stuff! Anyways, I’m trying to get him to drop the price by a $100. I’m pretty sure he’s going to do it. But if you’re interested, you can be one of the first ones to know when he does.

All you have to do is sign up to the list below, and you will certainly have the opportunity to grab his DVD set at the discounted price.

If you depend on classic aerobic cardio for fat loss, you probably spend 30 minutes on a machine trying to burn a set number of calories.

But does that work?

Does burning 500 calories per day cause you to lose 1 pound of fat per week?

Well, according to science, it should. But if it did, you probably wouldn’t still be reading this article.

Back in the day, I used to write a column on fat loss myths for Men’s Fitness magazine. Here’s a classic weight loss topic I covered.

Myth: I need to burn 500 calories each workout to lose fat.

Truth: Possibly one of the worst inventions for fat loss was the calorie-counting monitor on treadmills, elliptical machines, and stairmasters.

Because of these, millions of men and women now obsess about the number of calories burned per session. You’ve probably even been one of those people, watching it creep up ever so slowly during a slow-cardio session. All the while knowing that you can wipe out a 30-minute, 300-calorie treadmill session with one fell swoop of the Krispy Kreme hand.

Too many people are brainwashed into thinking that if they don’t burn 300-500 calories per session, then they won’t lose fat. After all, that is what you’ve been told time and time again in those fluffy fitness/fashion magazines.

The problems with this approach to fat loss are numerous. First off, it’s difficult to say if the calorie counters are even accurate. A story on CBS news showed that cardio machines overestimate calorie burning by up to 20%.

Next, depending on slow cardio for advanced fat loss is relatively useless and at the very least, inefficient. It takes a long time for you to burn a lot of calories and one study showed that men who only used cardio training for weight loss ended up with a reduced resting metabolism. You are basically undoing the calorie burning by depending only on cardio. On the other hand, guys in the same study that used strength training didn’t suffer a reduced metabolic rate.

So what is the solution to burning fat in a faster, more efficient method? The answer is to use strength and interval training to burn fewer calories in less exercise time, but with a more intense form of exercise.

Your body will burn more calories after exercise (when you use intervals) than it does after you do slow cardio and your metabolism will stay high. Some experts refer to this as the afterburn effect. How do you do intervals? Well, you could sprint for 30 seconds and rest for 90 seconds and repeat that for 6 sets – using the bike preferably or treadmill if you are experienced with it.

Within that short time frame the intervals will cause your muscles to go crazy with activity (I call it a metabolic turbulence). This crazy metabolism boost causes lots of calorie burning after exercise to get your body back to normal. The result is you would end up burning more fat and more calories in the post-exercise period as your body tries to get things under control.

Now there is one time where you’d want to count calories, but that is when you are counting up and determining how many calories you eat per day. Again, you can wipe out an entire workout’s work in less than a minute simply by eating garbage. Without some structure and discipline to your nutrition, there is nothing that even my programs can do to help you lose fat.

So exercise nutrition control and interval training. These are the two anti-calorie counting methods that will help you lose fat and get lean.

If you’re wondering what it feels like to perform one of Craig Ballantyne’s bodyweight workouts, then check out this video:

As you can see, this is a great program you can do with ZERO equipment. Here’s a rundown of how to perform “The Crazy 8 Circuit.”

• 60 Jumping Jacks
• 20 Spiderman Pushups
• 20 Walking Lunges
• 20 Spiderman Climb
• 60 Seconds Wall Squat
• 60 Seconds Plank
• 10 Burpees
• 50 High Knees

All those repetitions/seconds add up to 300. After the first circuit, you’ll be pretty tired. Start off with just one circuit, and build yourself up to 3 rounds. Try to complete exercise back to back with as little rest between as possible.

What I like to do is time the entire workout, and try and perform it faster the following week. Just a 30 second improvement in time will take a tremendous amount of work.

This is just one sample of all the unique bodyweight workouts Craig Ballantyne has developed. He has lots of great workouts you can try and he’s giving them away for a discounted price in his Deluxe Package.

P.S.S. You won’t be disappointed! Craig Ballantyne’s workouts are the real deal.

You wake up in the morning. The alarm buzzes at an annoying pitch. Groggy eyed, you somehow find the alarm and shut it off. Then you crawl back to sleep.

The alarm rings again, and this time you know its for real. You stand up with your eyes still half closed and somehow manage to bang the alarm to shut it off again.

You drag yourself out into the bathroom, wash your face, and look into the mirror. You look at your face and notice a layer of fat around your neck. Your face is wider than before.

You used to be so thin before. So fit. What happened?

As you walk out of the bathroom and into the kitchen to grab yourself a cup of caffeine, you wonder how the day will go today. Will there be an accident along the way or construction causing your hour long commute to transform into a 2 hours of laughing at the guy on the radio?

Will your boss pile on even more work on you, even though you’re 3 days behind schedule? Will you come home, tired and cranky, only to have your spouse glare at your for something you did ordidn’t do?

Of course, I’m describing a life that has not yet materialized for me. I’m 23, and I surely hope this is not the life I’ve signed up for. However, for millions of people out there, this is exactly what life is.

It’s all about work work work. You may love what you do, after all, if you didn’t, why would you do it? But, there comes a time in everyone’s life where they are forced to work harder than usual, and things just start to slip away around them.

One of them is fitness. You are once at the prime of your health. And now your weaker, chubbier, slower, and get tired easily. You used to spend at least 10 hours a week at the gym.

Now, you’d be lucky if you can spend 10 hours in a single year. The real reason why people are overweight is not because there is a lack of fitness resources or because people just don’t care.

It’s because people don’t have time.

People don’t have time to drive to a gym.

People don’t have time to perform an hour-long workout.

People don’t have time to worry about their waistlines when they have bills to pay and a family to support.

That’s the reality of the situation, and I’ve realized this earlier on. Luckily, I’ve already made exercise a habit. I know that short, intense, bodyweight workouts work, but do you?

It’s time to transform yourself back into the warrior you once were. It’s time to take your health back into your hands and regain your youth. It’s time to lose the fat, build lean muscle mass, and feel better about yourself.

Imagine waking up naturally in the morning, before the alarm rings. Imagine having the energy to actually enjoy your commute and work once again. And imagine the increased energy you’ll have to spend some extra “special” time with your spouse.

Imagine being that one guy or girl who gets what he/she want’s in the office. You know, there’s always one at the office. That one person who has so much confidence, that they actually have the courage to ask for that raise and for that vacation they so desperately deserve.

You know exercise can do this. We don’t need another study proving the benefits of exercise.

But you just need the right program. My suggestion? Try one of Craig Ballantyne’s short, intense bodyweight workouts. You can do them right as soon as you wake up in your bedroom, backyard, basement, or garage.

Once you ease into it, you’ll make it a habit. Then you’ll see all the benefits for yourself -

- Less Fat
- More Muscle
- More Energy
- More Confidence

Overall, you’ll be so much happier. So, try this guy, Craig Ballantyne’s workouts…in fact, try them all. It’s cheaper if you grab them all at once. He’s giving them away for a discounted price in his Deluxe Package.
