Turbulence Training Mini Bodyweight Circuits

⋅ Leave a Comment

Here’s another great bodyweight workout program from Turbulence Training. It’s called Mini Bodyweight Circuits. These are really great workouts you can use when you’re EXTREMELY short on time.

In the following video, Craig Ballantyne shares workout A from the full program. You start the workout with Chinups. Perform just 2 repetitions short of failure. This means that if you can do 10 chinups as your maximum, do just 8 repetitions.

If you don’t have a bar, then substitute the chinups for pushups instead. Perform 2 repetitions short of failure. Follow up with 25 prisoner squats. Try to do these all in a row, but you can take breaks in between if you can’t do all 25 in a row.

Finish off the circuit with reverse lunges. Perform 15 repetitions each leg. You can use weights if you have access to them, but only for the reverse lunges. This is one circuit.

Perform the circuit 2-4 more times, depending on your fitness level. Check out the video:

Burn More Calories By Adding Bodyweight Calisthenics Exercises To Cardio

⋅ 2 Comments

By Eddie Lomax

Adding bodyweight calisthenics exercises at different intervals to your cardio will up the intensity of the cardio session… and burn more calories!

I know, I know… you were told the best way to burn calories was in the “Fat Burning Zone”, 65-85% of your Max Heart Rate.

In real world terms, this mean long, slow, boring cardio.

I have never seen a research study so widely accepted by the exercise community as the “Target Heart Rate” or “Fat Burning Zone”.

Why?

Because it is actually a prescription to work less!

Unfortunately for those who like to do their cardio while talking to friends, reading a magazine or catching up on the latest gossip on the TV… higher intensity exercise burns more overall calories during the session, and keeps on burning more calories after the session.

Just think about it this way, higher intensity exercise causes more disturbance in the body compared to its normal resting state… and therefore will require more energy to return the body to this normal resting state.

More energy used means more calories burned… and more calories burned means less fat!

Up The Intensity With Bodyweight Calisthenics Exercises

Here is an easy way to up the intensity for your cardio session… add bodyweight calisthenics exercises at different intervals.

Every once in a while, jump off the bike, treadmill or whatever you are using for your cardio session and perform some bodyweight calisthenics exercises like jumping jacks, mountain climbers, push up, free squats, etc…. then jump back on for more long, slow cardio.

This will accomplish a few things…

- Adding bodyweight calisthenics exercises will challenge your body in different, dynamic ways that breaks the monotony of long, slow, boring cardio… more challenge means more calories burned!

- Adding bodyweight calisthenics exercises will break your breathing and heart patterns, forcing your heart and lungs to work more… meaning increased cardiorespiratory improvement!

-Adding bodyweight calisthenics exercises will force you to recover from the more intense bodyweight calisthenics exercises while still under stress from the cardio you are performing… improving your recovery abilities!

- Adding bodyweight calisthenics exercises will create more metabolic disturbance in your body both during and after the cardio session… meaning less unwanted fat on your body!

If it your intention to get fitter, improve health and look better through exercise… adding bodyweight calisthenics exercises to your long, slow, boring cardio sessions is what your need!

Low Fat High Protein Foods – How To Get Your Lean Protein

⋅ 2 Comments

by Mike Roussell PhD(c)

All the foods that you eat greatly impact your ability to lose weight. Protein, carbohydrates, and fats each have important roles and specific qualities that make them essental to a fat loss diet. What is interesting this is that the USDA, National Cholesterol Education Program, American Heart Association, and many scientists have previously essentially written off the benefit of protein above the body’s minimal requirement.


“15% of calories or 0.8g/kg is all you need” We’ve heard that before.

However, there has been a surge of research and buzz around the importance of increased protein intake for not just weight loss but cardiovascualar disease reduction, blood sugar control, and lowering blood pressure.

If you are looking to maximize fat loss then you are going to need to make sure that you get more than ‘adequate’ protein levels. When you increase your protein intake and decrease your carbohydrate intake, from a biochemical perspective you are removing an insulin stimulating nutrient (carbohydrates) and replacing it with a nutrient that has a much lesser effect on insulin (protein). Protein also causes your body to release another hormone called glucogon which counteracts insulin. Control insulin and you control the rate in which you burn fat.
Here are some great tips for choosing and maximizing lean protein consumption for fat loss (surprisingly from the US Government).

Start with a lean choice:
*The leanest beef cuts include round steaks and roasts (round eye, top round, bottom round, round tip), top loin, top sirloin, and chuck shoulder and arm roasts.
*The leanest pork choices include pork loin, tenderloin, center loin, and ham.
*Choose extra lean ground beef. The label should say at least “90% lean”. You may be able to find ground beef that is 93% or 95% lean.
*Buy skinless chicken parts, or take off the skin before cooking.
*Boneless skinless chicken breasts and turkey cutlets are the leanest poultry choices.
*Choose lean turkey, roast beef, ham, or low-fat luncheon meats for sandwiches instead of luncheon meats with more fat, such as regular bologna or salami.

Keep it lean:
*Trim away all of the visible fat from meats and poultry before cooking.
*Broil, grill, roast, poach, or boil meat, poultry, or fish instead of frying.
*Drain off any fat that appears during cooking.
*Skip or limit the breading on meat, poultry, or fish. Breading adds fat and calories. It will also cause the food to soak up more fat during frying.
*Prepare dry beans and peas without added fats.
*Choose and prepare foods without high fat sauces or gravies.

Use these tips to add high quality, low fat, high protein foods to your diet. The quality of your diet will improve, your weight loss will increase, and you’ll be an all around healthier person.

Does Drinking Lots of Water Help You Lose Weight

⋅ Leave a Comment

by Mike Roussell PhD(c)

Water is essential to life and a healthy body. Dehydration will wreak havoc on you and your fitness goals. If you are dehydrated your body cannot function at its optimal level. For example, your muscles will loose strength, you won’t burn fat as quickly, and you’ll feel tired and fatigued.

There are lots of rumors and claims out there saying that drinking water will help you lose weight. Are these claims justified? Does it really work? Yes and No.

The water-weight loss connection has been around for a long time but in December 2003 a study entitled Water-Induced Thermogenesis was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. This study showed that drinking 2 Liters of water spread throughout the day burned up to 400KJ (~100Cal) a day. Pretty interesting, but not the magic bullet.

You do need to be drinking a lot of water during the day. Not for the calorie burning effect but to ward off dehydration. Dehydration is just a bad situation. By properly hydrating your body you will be less fatigued, more alert, perform better, think straighter, and just feel all around great.  Water is the best performance enhancing “drug” out there.  Numerous studies have shown the detrimental effects even mild dehydration can have on performance.

Maintaining a proper level of hydration before, during, and after exercise has been shown to help maintain performance, reduce exercising heart rate, and reduce heat stress.  More specifically, in one study, just a 1.5% reduction in body weight due to dehydration was enough to significantly decrease the one-rep maximum bench press of ten young men.

How much water do you need to drink? You should shoot for 2 clear urinations each day – this is a good marker that you are well hydrated.

The Shocking Truth about Dietary Fats and Saturated Fats

⋅ 1 Comment

You’ve been deceived into thinking that saturated fats are bad for you, but let’s look at some facts below…

by Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

I’ll preface this article by saying that it will help if you have an open mind and accept that some of these facts are a slap in the face to politically correct nutrition in this day and age where fats are admonished by many doctors, health “experts”, and the mass media.

To start, eating an adequate supply of healthy dietary fats is vitally important to your overall health. Fats are one of the main components in all of the cell membranes throughout your entire body. If you eat enough healthy natural fats, your cellular processes will proceed normally.

On the other hand, if you eat man-made, heavily processed, chemically altered fats (damaged fats) that are found in most processed foods, your cellular function will be impaired as these damaged fats become part of your cell membranes, the body will have to work harder to operate correctly, and degenerative diseases can develop.

In addition, healthy dietary fats are necessary for optimal hormone production and balance within the body and are therefore essential for the muscle building and fat burning processes.  Other important functions that dietary fats play in a healthy body are aiding vitamin and mineral utilization, enzyme regulation, energy, etc.

I cringe every time I hear so called “health experts” recommend restriction of dietary fat, claiming that a low-fat diet is the key to good health, weight loss, and prevention of degenerative diseases.  Restriction of any one macronutrient (protein, carbs, or fat) in your diet works against what your body needs and can only lead to problems.

All three basic macronutrients serve important functions for a lean, healthy, and disease-free body.  As Dr. Mary Enig, Ph.D, and one of the leading fats researchers in the world, notes in several of her books and articles, there is very little true scientific evidence supporting the assertion that a high fat diet is bad for us.

For example, if these so called “health experts” that admonish fat are correct, and a low-fat diet is the solution to good health, then why did traditional Pacific Islanders who typically obtained 2/3 to 3/4 of their total daily calories from fat (mostly from coconut fat), remain virtually free from heart disease, obesity, and other modern degenerative diseases (that is, until Western dietary influences invaded)?

Also, why did traditional Eskimo populations, consuming up to 75% of their total caloric intake from fat (mostly from whale blubber, seal fat, organ meats, and cold water fish), display superior health and longevity without heart disease or obesity?

Why did members of the Masai tribe in Africa remain free from degenerative diseases and maintain low body fat percentages on diets consisting of large quantities of raw whole milk, blood, and meat? What about the Samburu tribe of Africa, which eats an average of 5 times the quantity of dietary fat (mostly from raw whole milk and meat) as overweight, disease-ridden Americans, yet Samburu members are lean, healthy, and free of degenerative diseases? What about traditional Mediterranean diets, which are known to be very high in fat in some cases (sometimes up to 50-70% fat), and are also well known to be very healthy?

These examples of high fat diets and the associated excellent health of traditional populations around the world go on and on, yet it seems that many doctors, nutritionists, and media outlets still ignore these facts and continue to promote a diet that restricts fat intake.

Well, the problem is that the good fats (the natural unprocessed health promoting fats) have gotten mistakenly lumped together in nutritional advice with the deadly processed fats and oils that make up a large percentage of almost all processed food that is sold at your local grocery store, restaurant, deli, fast food joint, etc. These deadly processed fats are literally everywhere and almost impossible to avoid unless you know what to look for and make smart choices in what you feed your body with.

Take note that I’m not recommending following a super high fat diet. Active individuals that exercise on a regular basis certainly also need adequate supplies of healthy carbohydrates for energy and muscle glycogen replenishment as well as good sources of protein for muscle repair. The above examples of the high fat diets of traditional populations and their corresponding excellent health were simply to prove the point that you don’t need to be afraid of dietary fats as long as you make healthy natural choices and stay within your daily caloric range to maintain or lose weight (depending on your goals).

Following is a list of some of the healthiest fatty foods (some will surprise you!) as well as some of the deadliest fatty foods to try to avoid at all costs:

The Healthy Fatty Food Choices:

  • Coconut fat: Coconut fat is approximately 92% saturated fat, yet surprisingly to most people, is considered a very healthy natural fat. The health benefits of coconut fat lie in its composition of approximately 65% medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Specifically, about 50% of coconut fat is a MCT called lauric acid, which has very potent anti-microbial properties helping to enhance the immune system. Also, MCTs are more easily utilized for immediate energy instead of being stored as body fat.  Coconut oil is also an excellent cooking oil for stir-frying, etc. since saturated fats are much more stable and do not oxidize like polyunsaturated oils when exposed to heat and light, which creates damaging free radicals. The best sources of healthy coconut fat are organic coconut milk, virgin coconut oil (available at http://coconut-info.com), or fresh coconut.
  • Extra virgin olive oil:  Olive oil is approximately 71% monounsaturated, 16% saturated, and 13% polyunsaturated. Choose “extra virgin” olive oil, which comes from the first pressing of the olives and has higher quantities of antioxidants. Unlike most other oils on supermarket shelves, extra virgin olive oil is not extracted with the use of harmful industrial solvents and is one of your healthiest choices for liquid oils. Try making your own salad dressing by mixing a small amount of olive oil with vinegar. This is healthier than most store bought salad dressings, which are usually made with highly processed and refined (chemically damaged) soybean oil extracted with industrial solvents.

  • Dark, bittersweet chocolate (>70% cocoa):  The cocoa bean is a very concentrated source of antioxidants and responsible for part of the health benefit of dark chocolate. The fat portion of the cocoa bean (cocoa butter) is a healthy natural fat, composed of approximately 59% saturated fat (mostly healthy stearic acid), 38% monounsaturated fat, and 3% polyunsaturated fat. I’ll limit the description of healthy chocolate to ONLY dark bittersweet chocolate with >70% cocoa content. Most milk chocolates are only about 30% cocoa, and even most dark chocolates are only about 55% cocoa, leaving the remainder of those products composed of high amounts of sugar, milk fat, corn sweeteners, etc. Look for a quality dark chocolate that lists its cocoa content like Chocolove Extra Dark (77%) or Dagoba New Moon (74%), which contain mostly cocoa and very little sugar. Keep in mind that although dark chocolate can be a healthy treat, it is still calorie dense, so keeping it to just a square or two is a good idea.
  • Avocados or guacamole:  The fat in avocados (depending on where they’re grown) is approximately 60% monounsaturated, 25% saturated, and 15% polyunsaturated. Avocados are a very healthy natural food that provides many nutrients, fiber, and healthful fats, while adding a rich flavor to any meal. Try sliced avocado on sandwiches or in salads or use guacamole in wraps, sandwiches, or quesadillas.
  • High fat fish such as wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, trout, etc.:  Just about any fish or seafood are good sources of natural omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, but the higher fat fish listed above are the best sources of omega-3’s. Due to the radical switch to a higher proportion of omega-6 polyunsaturated fats like soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, etc. in our food supply during the middle of the 20th century, the average western diet is currently way too high in omega-6’s compared to omega-3’s, which wreaks havoc in your body. This is where good omega-3 sources like high fat fish, walnuts, and flax seeds can help bring you back to a better ratio of omega-6/omega-3.

  • Nuts (any and all – walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews, macadamias, etc.): Nuts are great sources of healthy unprocessed fats as well as minerals and other trace nutrients. Macadamias, almonds, and cashews are great sources of monounsaturated fats, while walnuts are a good source of unprocessed polyunsaturated fats (including omega-3’s). Try to avoid nuts that are cooked in oil. Instead, choose raw or dry roasted nuts.
  • Seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds):  All of these seeds are great sources of natural unprocessed healthy fats. In particular, flax seeds have received a lot of attention lately due to their high omega-3 content. However, keep in mind that omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are highly reactive to heat and light, and prone to oxidation and free radical production. Therefore, freshly ground flax seed is the only way to go. Instead of using the store bought ground flax seed, you can buy whole flax seed and use one of those miniature coffee grinders to grind your own flax seed. Try grinding fresh flax seed into your yogurt, cereal, or even your salad.  If you’re using a flax oil, make sure it’s a cold-pressed oil in a light-proof refrigerated container, and use it up within a few weeks to prevent it from going rancid. NEVER cook with flax oil!
  • The fat in organically raised, free-range animals:  This is where most people have been misinformed by the mass media. Animal fat is inherently good for us, that is, if it came from a healthy animal. Human beings have thrived on animal fats for thousands of years. The problem is, most mass produced animal products today do not come from healthy animals. They come from animals given loads of antibiotics and fattened up with hormones and fed un-natural feed. The solution is to choose organically raised, free-range meats, eggs, and dairy. At this time, the price is still a little higher, but as demand grows, the prices will come down. I’ve found an incredible website that actually offers free-range grass-fed meats delivered right to your doorstep at very reasonable prices. Believe me, it’s very hard to find grass fed meats at any grocery stores, so I was pleased to find this site.

The Deadly Fatty Foods:


  • Hydrogenated oils (trans fats):  These are industrially produced chemically altered oils subjected to extremely high pressure and temperature, with added industrial solvents such as hexane for extraction, and have a metal catalyst added to promote the artificial hydrogenation, followed by bleaching and deodorizing agents…..and somehow the FDA still allows this crap to pass as food. These oils aren’t even worthy of your lawnmower, much less your body! They’ve been linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and more. Even small quantities have been shown in studies to be dangerous. If you care about your health, check the ingredients of everything you buy, and if you see partially hydrogenated oils of any kind, margarine, or shortening, protect yourself and your family by choosing something else.
  • Refined oils:  Even if the oils are not hydrogenated, most oils on your supermarket shelves are refined, even most of the so called “healthy” canola oils. Most refined oils still undergo the high temperature, high pressure, solvent extraction, bleaching, and deodorizing processes. Anything labeled vegetable oil, soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, and even many canola oils have been damaged by this refining process (unless they say “virgin” or “cold expeller pressed”). This damages the natural structure of the fats, destroys natural antioxidants, creates free radicals, and produces a generally unhealthy product. Take note that the explosion of heart disease in the middle of the 20th century coincides quite nicely with the rapid increase in the use of hydrogenated and refined oils in the food supply.

  • Anything deep fried: including tortilla chips, potato chips, French fries, donuts, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, etc. All of this crap shouldn’t even pass as real food in my opinion!
  • Homogenized milk fat – Milk fat is a very healthy fat in its natural raw state. Milk and beef from grass fed organically raised cows is known to have higher quantities of healthy fats like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty acids compared with grain fed cows. Traditional populations around the world have thrived in perfect health while consuming huge quantities of raw, non-pasteurized, non-homogenized, full fat dairy products.  Once again, food processing ruins a good thing by pasteurizing and homogenizing milk fat, rendering it potentially dangerous inside the human body. Unfortunately, you will find it almost impossible to find raw milk in the US unless you personally know a farmer. Check out http://www.realmilk.com for more info on the benefits of raw milk and to find out if it’s available near you. As an alternative, cultured dairy products like yogurt have at least had beneficial microorganisms added back to them making them better for you.  Realistically, since you probably won’t find raw milk, sticking to skim milk is the best option to avoid the homogenized milk fat. If you use butter for cooking, your best option is grass-fed butter.

I hope this article has shed some light on the truth about dietary fats and made you realize their importance in a healthy diet.

A fully comprehensive analysis on dietary protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and how to compile all of this information into a diet that promotes a lean healthy body with a low body fat percentage is provided in my book “The Truth About Six Pack Abs”.  Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!

Finally! Lose Fat and Build Lean Muscle Mass in the Comfort of your Own Home with Just your Bodyweight

Workout Without Weights is a bodyweight training manual written by Coach Eddie Lomax. It’s a step-by-step plan that features exercises, workouts, and intensity techniques to help you improve your body with bodyweight training alone.

The most interesting aspect about Workout Without Weights (WWW) is that it’s a blueprint to help you improve your fitness level, not just a handful of done-for-your workouts.

 

This means that if you effectively implement the techniques taught to you in the eBook, you can literally develop intense workouts for the rest of your life. Hence, it’s a complete resource.

Here is what People are Saying about this manual:

“I just want to touch base with you. I started the program in January and it is GREAT!!! I have really made significant changes in my body by using your program and a healthy diet. I was pretty out of shape (which was confirmed during the first workout) but I get more reps and/or sets with every workout. If I get bored with an exercise, there are so many others to choose from and substitute for the one the isn’t working anymore. I also like that I can do it on my schedule at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this program together!!”

Unsolicited Feedback

“I did some of the drills this morning. I am impressed with the broad range of bodyweight drills and the varying levels you included in the book. I am now a huge fan of the book. The book is so good in that it has something to offer fighters and the general workout population. For someone teaching class’s your book would be a goldmine of information.”

Unsolicited Feedback

“Dear Coach Lomax, I purchased your product in early February of this year. My wife started a diet last Thanksgiving and has lost 35-40 pounds since then. I “tagged along” (started at 6’3″, 215 lbs) with her and lost about 10 pounds by the time I purchased your program.

Since then I’ve lost an additional 5 pounds (I now hover in the 199-202 range) but more importantly I’ve gone from a 36 inch waist to a 34. Also, co-workers and people at church have made many comments about how much trimmer I look.

Your program is doing what many years of weight lifting was supposed to do for me and didn’t, namely rearranging my body. I look forward to trimming down even more!

The money I spent on your program has by far given me the “best bang for the buck” of any fitness program or equipment in my 53 years.”

Unsolicited Feedback

“I have been exercising at a moderate level for years now, but needed a change, some additional motivation, and more of an overall fitness plan. Your system appears to be the answer for which I was searching. I’m anxious to begin a new chapter in my personal fitness.”

Bodyweight Exercise Revolution Review

I recently came across a great bodyweight training resource called Bodyweight Exercise Revolution. This amazing program, developed by Coaches Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock, features some of the most unique bodyweight movements I’ve seen.

Is Bodyweight Exercise Revolution Worth Spending $47?

Before I purchased my copy, I thought of the same thing. $47 is a lot of money, especially for a 23 year old with no steady income.But, after purchasing Bodyweight Exercise Revolution, I’m glad I made the purchase. In fact, I would happily pay 3 or 4 times as much. Here’s why:

The biggest problem with traditional bodyweight programs is that they lack variety. Coaches Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock have included the most innovative bodyweight movements I have ever seen in an eBook. Exercises such as quad hops and trinity jump squats will immediately take your workouts to new levels of fitness.

In addition, most eBooks lack detail. They give you exercises, they give you workouts, take your money, and say good luck. The Bodyweight Exercise Revolution goes into so much detail, that by the time a complete beginner is finished with the 4×7 program, he will be transformed into an advanced trainee.

Again, most eBooks give you the program, and say goodbye. You actually LEARN from the Bodyweight Exercise Revolution. It makes you think. It makes you understand what it is that you have been doing wrong with your bodyweight training. And the knowledge is applicable to any other form of training – whether it be with Kettlebells, Dumbbells, or Barbell training.

Yet another problem with traditional bodyweight programs is that they lack an innovative progressive strategy. Most programs include a linear progressive strategy, meaning you either add reps or sets to your movement. We all know that you can not keep adding sets and reps to your workouts indefinitely. Coaches Steer and Murdock introduce a unique method of training progression I have yet to see talked about in the mainstream.

The system I’m talking about is 4×7. Without giving away too much detail, I can simply say that this unique strategy will prevent burnout and lead to greater and faster results then ever before. Now, everyone claims that their system is the best, right?

That’s true. I’m not sure if the 4×7 system is the best out there, and I’m certainly not claiming it is. But it is innovative and unique in that it takes advantage of your body’s natural tendency to peak. For example, in the past, I would train at a high intensity level for months at a time, then experience an intense burnout.

This burnout featured some sort of overuse injury or just mental burnout. The burnout prevented me from working out, and it would take weeks and months before I was able to start again. Hardcore fitness enthusiasts and athletes have all experienced this cycle.

And it sucks. You want to get in shape and stay in shape without experiencing this burnout. Well, that is exactly what Coaches Steer and Murdock are going to teach you how to do. In addition to this progressive system, the workouts that they provide you with is based on the 6 degrees of Freedom.

Of course, I can’t tell you the details of this concept. However, what I can say is that the 6 degrees of Freedom idea takes advantage of how our bodies naturally move. Pushups, pullups, and squats are only scratching the surface. There is so much more you can do with your body (think gymnasts, dancers, and yogis)

Gladiator Body Workout

Fat-Loss-Workout

In these tough times, for most people one of the first things to go is a gym membership. You don’t need to sacrifice your health just because of the bad economy. A home gym can help you easily lose weight and increase lean muscle mass.

I actually got better results when I started training in my garage than when I was pounding away the weights at a gym. One of the reasons why I love training at home is privacy. You can yell and scream without anyone coming up to you and asking you to lower your voice.

That is why I recommend…Gladiator Body Workout

What is the Gladiator Body Workout?

The Gladiator Body Workout (GBW) is a home fitness program which combines dumbbell and bodyweight training into highly intense workouts. What separates GBW from other fitness eBooks is that it is one of the only programs which truly shows you how to workout with minimal equipment in the comfort of your own home. Whats more, the workouts are fast, intense, and very effective.

I enjoy Coach Lomax’s “Anti-Bodybuilding” approach to training. I personally worked out for 6 months using the workouts I found from bodybuilding magazines. I did get big, but I also became fatter.

Traditional bodybuilding workouts only work for bodybuilders. They make the rest of us fat and slow. On top of that, they are extremely boring. In my quest to become a better athlete, I decided to download Coach Lomax’s eBook and was absolutely impressed by the workouts (not to mention challenged)

GBW includes 27 different programs which last 4 weeks each. Each and every workout is unique and focuses on a different aspect to training. You have the basic general fitness, fat loss, and strength & size workouts.

Coach Lomax also incorporates 3 other high intensity workouts including “Rounds of Fury” “Juggernaut” and “Utterly Nasty Interval Training” workouts. I have never seen anyone give away so many workouts at such a low price.

On top of all this content, Coach Lomax also gives you a special “Build Your Own” Workout which shows you how to create your own high intensity in home workouts. I truly believe that this is one of the most unique, no-nonsense home fitness products on the market today.

For a better understanding of the Gladiator Body Workout, Coach Lomax has Put together this video, which is also featured on his website:

5 Reasons Why I Love Gladiator Body Workout:

  1. All the workouts are high-intensity, which means you’re guaranteed to boost your metabolic rate and in turn burn a lot of fat. There’s no room for boring strength workouts or cardio with this program. In fact, CoachLomax is somewhat “Anti-Bodybuilding.”
  2. As mentioned in the first point, there’s no boring, steady state cardio to perform. When you combine bodyweight and dumbbell training, you get the effect of cardiovascular training. These workouts will really make your heart rate go crazy.
  3. All the workouts can be performed with only your bodyweight and a dumbbell. Dumbbells can be purchased for cheap from Craigslist or eBay. The average price of dumbbells at your local sports equipment store is about .50 cents per pound.
  4. High intensity workouts means that you can perform them within a short period of time. I love short, intense workouts. Short workouts will save you a lot of time and you’ll find yourself spending less time working out, but getting better results than if you were to go to the gym and follow a typical bodybuilding workout.
  5. Finally, the workouts are fun and challenging. The key to really taking your training to the next level is keep using different intensity techniques, and that is exactly what CoachLomax does with this program.

7 Reasons Why You Should Perform Intense Dumbbell and Bodyweight Training

So, I went over the benefits of the Gladiator Body Workout. 

But you’re still reading this page, which means you’re not yet convinced why you should even combine dumbbell and bodyweight exercises.

Well, I’ll give you 7 really good reasons why:

Reason #1: Save Time

By combining bodyweight and dumbbell exercises into high intensity superset, circuit training, and interval workouts, I save a lot of time. I’m getting the strength and size benefits of dumbbells, plus the fat burning and athletic fitness benefits of dumbbell training within an extremely short period of time.

Reason #2: Build Functional Strength

Functional strength is all about improving your ability to move. This is by far the most important thing to me because the last thing I want is to be 70 years old and unable to move. Train your muscles through their natural range of motion and you’ll be fit for the rest of your life.

Reason #3: No More need for Endless Situps

Because I focus on multi joint, compound movements that stress the core with every workout, I no longer need to do endless situps, crunches and back extensions. Instead, high power moves such as dumbbell windmills and swings are more that enough to build a strong core region.

Reason #4: Train Anywhere!

I have a home gym which consists of bodyweight training and free weights. That’s all I need to get a great workout. My gym is also portable. I usually take one to two road trips per year. All I need to do is place a pair of adjustable dumbbells in my trunk and I can have a great workout anywhere. Don’t forget the fact that pushups and squat variations can be performed anywhere as well.

Reason #5: Forces you to Work Hard

In order to achieve your goals, you need to work hard. Most people just go into a gym, hit up a few machines, talk to their friends, and pretend like they’re working hard. Combine Bodyweight and Dumbbell exercises into high intensity workouts and you won’t have time to talk to your friends.

Reason #6: Saves Money

Gym memberships will cost you over $400 per year. On top of that, they charge you for times when you don’t even go to a gym (say you took a break or went on vacation). Instead, start building your own home gym with cheap adjustable dumbbells and a pullup bar.

Reason #7: Convenience

Imagine getting up in the morning, and getting a great workout right there in your own bedroom. Or what about coming home from work and getting in a great workout right before dinner. When you have your own home gym, you can train at your own time and convenience.

BBFL Review

Now You can Have a Great Body, Better Health,

and Amazing Fitness by Exercising with Just

your Bodyweight in the Comfort of your Own

Home!

I’ve been training with my bodyweight for almost two

years now. For a long time I stuck to primarily pushups,

pullups, and bodyweight squats. But once I purchased

Coach Steer and Murdock’s, Bodyweight Blueprint for

Fat Loss, I’ve been incorporating a lot of their unique

exercises and workout programs.

For just 77 bucks Coach Steer and Murdock have developed a three – phase fat loss system that will literally blow torch your fat. But not only are the exercises unique, but Coaches Steer and Murdock are the first Coaches that actually include video demonstrations with their products.

What! $77? Is Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat loss REALLY worth your $77?

Benefit #1: Unique Bodyweight Movements

Well, eBooks are half hazardly put together. That is why I will usually purchase a program, and then rely on YouTube to show me how to perform the exercises.

But, most of the exercises in Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss (BBFL) are not featured on YouTube. This is why the video descriptions that they include are so valuable!

Here is a sample unique exercise from Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss:


Benefit #2: Full Recovery Resources

Another drawback to most bodyweight programs is that they provide you with intense workouts, but don’t teach you how to effectively recover from your training. Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss is different.

First, Intu-Flow is a special set of mobility drills designed to loosen up your body after a hard training session.

Before purchasing, Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss, I only went through some very basic dynamic stretches. I thought this was enough to get me through my workouts.

Boy was I wrong! Once I started implementing Intu-Flow into my overall workout program, all those aches and pains I was experiencing slowly began to disappear.

Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss goes very deep into Intu-Flow with lots of exercises and detail. The same is true for the Prasara Yoga. In fact, the Prasara Yoga video is very simple to follow.

Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss gives you a very clear picture of how to perform the Prasara Yoga poses. I’m still working on my flexibility, but the point is that these two sets of videos will guarantee you better recovery from your intense bodyweight workouts.

Benefit #3: Incredible Nutritional Information

This package features 4 separate audios from experts in 4 separate niches on nutrition. This gives you 4 effective options to better eating habits.

So you have a vegetarian eating expert, an intermittent fasting expert, a primal eating expert, and finally an expert who teaches you how to lose weight while “cheating.” Understand that each of these experts have then own individual eBook.

You’re getting extremely good advice from experts who know what they’re doing. And you don’t even have to go and buy their individual eBooks! You get all the information as part of this incredible fat loss package!

Enough waiting. I suggest you go and grab your copy of the Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss today. You won’t be disappointed!
