The accolades come pouring in...I have dozens of testimonials from women thanking
me for saving them TIME while helping them finally breakthrough stubborn fat loss
plateaus (and eliminating the pain from their overuse injuries that occurred due
to high volumes of cardio). Their words make me feel like a million bucks because
the TT workouts are making these women feel like a million bucks.
That being said, I sometimes make small changes in TT workouts to adapt to a woman's
pre-conceived notions about strength training. Some women are very hesitant to lift
weights. But you and I know that is necessary for bodysculpting, fat loss, and health
benefits such as building bones.
So what I do is sub a few (not all!) of the weight exercises out and replace them
with equal intensity bodyweight exercises. Some bodyweight exercises can be classified
as traditional strength exercises (i.e. for a woman that can only do 5 full pushups,
the pushup exercise is almost a max strength exercise). But women "mentally"
deal with this type of strength training better than putting a dumbbell in their
hands.
On the other hand, some bodyweight exercises provide more of an interval training
effect (i.e. bodyweight squats). Either way, bodyweight exercises can put turbulence
(i.e. "stress") on the muscle and boost metabolism and help female clients
get the results they want and deserve.
Q: What differentiates Turbulence Training from other programs?
Answer:
That's a tough question to answer, as there are other systems out there that give
impressive results in an acceptable time frame.
I will say this however, I am extremely dedicated to Turbulence Training and the
entire "fat loss" cause.
One of the factors behind my dedication is that I find the general concept of fat
loss to be so simple, and yet millions and millions of people around the world have
an incredibly difficult time achieving their goals.
I want to give them every possible resource available to them to help them succeed.
So I am constantly tinkering with new workouts, exercises, and interval methods,
and interviewing other trainers and nutritional experts for every single little
fat burning advantage I can find. And that comes through in what I offer to the
readers of my newsletters and clients that use my programs.
I said in a past newsletter that "Fat loss is easy, once you realize how hard
it is." You have to respect that it's not something you put on "auto-pilot".
Taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator, parking 100 extra feet away from
the door, and subbing 1% milk for 2% milk is not going to help you lose 13 pounds
of fat in a year like the politically correct articles
suggest.
You need a politically-incorrect plan to eat right 90% of the time (i.e. saying
"no" when an office-mate brings in doughnuts) and you have to have the
best workout plan available to you if you want to get the most results in the least
amount of time.
And then you still have to have a plan to help you stick to those plans - and that
should involve a social support group. There are many tricks and tips to success,
so you always have to keep learning and trying to improve. And that's what I help
with in my programs and newsletters.
