...Craig Ballantyne is the expert behind the workouts. Craig writes regulary for Men's Health, Men's Fitness, Oxygen & Shape. His fitness education goes back to the mid-nineties, in the gym as a hugely popular strength and conditioning coach as well as in the research lab. He's actually led research trials on sport supplements, strength training, and cardiovascular training, so he really knows his stuff.

If you have read any of Craig's articles you will know he is not a fan of traditional aerobic cardio workouts - the 'Cardio Confessional'. If you're looking for new ways to spend 30 or 60-minutes doing cardio, then this program is not for you. However, if you only have 45 minutes to workout, a couple of times per week, and want maximum convenience combined with maximum results, then you'll love Turbulence Training.

Turbulence Training combines resistance and interval training to boost your metabolism so that your body burns calories and fat between workouts. "Cardio doesn't boost your metabolism after exercise. Only strength training and interval training do that - while you work, sleep, and eat - your body will be shedding fat."

I have trained like this for a long time, but had no resource to give to the many people who asked about my training methods.  When I found Turbulence Training I was really pleased to be able to share my style of training with my friends, colleagues and clients without having to write a book myself (I will do soon, and it will be even better than Turbulence Training, but in the meantime this is the next best thing!)

Using bodyweight exercises, dumbell exercises, and interval training means you can train at home, with minimal equipment.  But this is not a cop-out programme, using baked bean tins and water bottles for endless pointless reps (like many mags & articles would like to promote). These exercises are hard!!!  There are plenty of cool, killer bodyweight moves that will make you more athletic and increase your functional and core strength - all with minimal equipment needs. Don't panic if you are a beginner, you can build it up at your own pace (there's a 6 week intro programme and a 4 week intermediate one) but as for how hard you can work, there are no limits! 

It's the intensity that gives you the results - not the time spent - so these workouts are perfect for busy men and women or people who don't want to spend their lives in a gym. Don't worry about bulking, its not the type of routine that is going to turn anyone into a pro bodybuilder. (If you do want maximum muscle and want to bulk up, try another one of Craig's programmes). Turbulence Training is best for burning fat without sacrificing muscle - so you end up lean, defined, chiseled and toned.

The Turbulence Training program comes with a massive amount of bonus workouts (muscle building, bodyweight only, advanced fat loss, a female specific bonus), a contract, an ebook on Nutrition Guidelines from expert, Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D., an extensive Q&A section, a 21-Healthy Habit Building Plan and an MP3 audio (where Craig goes over the program). Every single exercise is explained in detail, complete with photos.

Turbulence Training is NOT...

• Long, slow boring cardio workouts
• A machine-based exercise circuit
• A bodybuilding program to gain bulk
• A workout with lots of time-wasting isolation exercises
• A restrictive eating plan

Turbulence Training provides NONE of the above. On the other hand, Turbulence Training is perfect for busy men and women who want to burn fat in the comfort of their own homes without spending a lot of money on equipment or space on exercise machines. Oh, and you'll actually have fun! You won't "dread" these workouts - in fact, they will be over before you know it!

If you're in the slightest bit curious, I recommend you look closely at Craig's programme. For the money, it's the best deal in the fitness and fat loss industry - so much better than diet pills! And as it is backed by a 8-week money back guarantee (a real guarantee - if you are not completely satisfied, you will receive your money back, no "ifs" "ands" or "buts") you really have nothing to lose!  Can you afford not to?!
