Q: How much
fat can I lose with Turbulence Training?
Answer:
The
short answer is, ?a lot?.
But to be more specific, you
should be able to lose one pound of body fat each week (in addition
to following sound fat loss nutritional practices). At the same
time, you should expect to gain or maintain muscle.
Turbulence Training for Fat Loss gives you at least 16 weeks
of fat-blasting workouts, so expect a two-digit fat loss by the time
you get through the program.
Q: Why should I only use
each version of Turbulence Training for 4
weeks?
Answer:
We want to keep the element of variety
in the training program to achieve consistent fat loss. Nothing,
except poor eating, halts fat loss like staying on a training
program for too long. By switching it up on a frequent basis, you?ll
avoid fat loss plateaus and keep making gains in strength and
fitness at the same time.
Q: Can women use Turbulence
Training? I don?t want to bulk up.
Answer:
Yes, they
sure can. Many women have had Turbulence Training Success
Stories.
As well, women don?t have to worry about ?bulking
up?. Unless you are over-eating, it is hard for women to gain
muscle. So by using the Turbulence Training for Nutrition
guidelines, along with the interval training to burn fat, you will
not bulk up when you do the strength training exercises (which are
essential for boosting your metabolism ? to burn even more
fat).
Q: Which Turbulence Training Workout should
I use?
Answer:
With Turbulence Training for Fat
Loss, there are a lot of workouts
to choose from.
So why
did I create so many fat burning programs?
Because you need
to have variety in your workouts to keep on
boosting your
metabolism, and burning fat month after month.
If you did
the same workout program for 3 months straight, your
results
would screech to a halt after 5 or 6 weeks.
With the
Turbulence Training fat loss program, you will be able to
change
your workouts every 4 weeks. Each time you do that,
you'll
kickstart your fat burning and your metabolism to a new
level.
You must change your workout every 3-4
weeks.
Unfortunately, with so many Turbulence Training
workouts, people
often ask, "Which program should I start with?".
So here are the
fat burning guidelines you need to get the most
out of
Turbulence Training no matter what your fitness
level...
1) The Best Program for a Total
BEGINNER
Overweight, sedentary beginners should start with
the Introductory
Program in the main Turbulence Training for Fat
Loss manual.
If you haven't been doing any exercise, you must
start there. No
exceptions.
The bodyweight exercises will
prepare your muscles for all future
workouts, and will prevent
the overuse injuries people usually get
when they start a
high-volume cardio program (which is the worst
thing an
overweight person can do for weight loss).
2) The Best
Program for an Experienced Lifter Who Has NOT Exercised
in the
Last 4 Weeks
Please start with the Intermediate Workout from
the main Turbulence
Training for Fat Loss program.
BUT
NOTE: Do only ONE SET per exercise in each workout in the
first
week.
This will prevent you from being excessively sore from
the
exercises, which can occur when you have been away from
exercise
for so long.
3) The Best Program For ADVANCED
Fitness & Fat Loss
I suggest you start with the
"Original Turbulence Training
Workout" from the main Turbulence
Training for Fat Loss manual.
Work your way through each
following three advanced workouts in the
manual.
Upon
completion of the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss workouts
from
the main manual, you can move onto the bonus workouts in
this
order:
A) If you are a women that wants to put the
final touches on
a female physique, use the Turbulence Training
for Women
workout.
B) If you are a man that wants to build
muscle, use the TT
for Muscle program.
C) If you want to
keep burning fat, move to the DB-BW Fusion
Workout.
D)
Follow that with the 30-Day Advanced Fat Loss program.
E) And
finally, finish with the Advanced Fusion Fat Loss
4-Week Program.
At any time you are traveling or want a break from the
dumbell
workouts, you can use the beginner, intermediate, or
advanced
bodyweight program from the Original Bodyweight 4-Week
TT workout.
Q: What repetition range is best for fat
loss?
Answer:
Despite the common belief that high-reps
are best for fat loss, research has shown that performing multiple
sets of lower reps is more effective for burning calories and fat.
In the Turbulence Training workouts, you?ll use 6-8 reps per
set for most exercises, and this will give you the most ?bang for
your fat loss buck?. Using a variety of repetitions trains the
muscle through the full range of metabolism-boosting stimuli. If
combined with proper nutrition, this approach offers the greatest
opportunity for growth.
Q: Why do the Turbulence
Training workouts use Supersets?
Answer:
By pairing
exercises together in Supersets (where you perform two exercises
back to back without rest), you are able to get more work done in
less time.
That gives you two benefits. First, you get the
workout done in half the time. And second, you get more results in
less time, plus you can do more work. Supersets are the way to go,
and that? why they are the cornerstone of the Turbulence Training
workouts.
Q: When is the best time to
workout?
Answer:
In general, there is no best time to
workout. A guy that trains in the afternoon should get the same
results as a guy that trains in the morning, all other things being
equal (i.e. nutrition, workout intensity, etc.).
The two
most important considerations for determining your workout time are
that:
a) You are able to train with sufficient intensity
b)
You are able to train consistently
Q: I don?t have a
full hour to workout. Can I still use the
program?
Answer:
Absolutely. First off, even if you
follow the full Turbulence Training workout plan, you?ll be done in
less than 45 minutes. And second, if you have less time than that,
simply reduce the number of sets performed for each exercise. You?ll
still get the majority of the benefits by doing as little as one set
of each exercise ? and you?ll get the workout done in even less
time.
Q: Can anyone use Turbulence
Training?
Answer:
Adult men and women of all ages have
achieved success with Turbulence Training. We do recommend however,
that you check with your doctor and have a full physical examination
prior to starting a new exercise regimen if you meet any of the
following qualifications:
Q: What is an e-book and why
is Turbulence Training for Fat Loss only available as an
e-book?
Answer:
An e-book is a PDF file that is
available for immediate download after your purchase. You will
receive download instructions for the Turbulence Training e-book, as
well as the bonus reports. You will be able to download them and
print them within minutes of ordering.
Having immediate
access to these files is a major benefit of e-book distribution. If
you want to start your fat loss workouts within the next hour, you
can do so simply by ordering your e-book and downloading the
information.
In addition, it is much easier to provide
customers with updates to their e-book. We will alert you when new
bonuses or workouts are available.
Q: I don?t belong
to a gym, and I don?t want to go to a gym. What equipment do I need
for Turbulence Training?
Answer:
The Turbulence
Training for Fat Loss workouts can be done at home with a simple
home gym set-up that includes dumbbells, a bench, and a Stability
Ball. A barbell can also be used for many exercises in place of
dumbbells. You do not need fancy machines or expensive gym
memberships to succeed on the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss plan.
In fact, you will also receive a bonus 4-week bodyweight training
manual that will give you an advanced fat burning, muscle-building
bodyweight-only workout when you order.
