Bodybuilders are not a fan of Turbulence Training. I don’t know why, but for some reason getting a workout done in less than 45 minutes really ticks them off.

I remember when I first tried out the Turbulence Training 2K3
workout from my TT for Fat Loss manual. It was in the dark and grungy downstairs weight room of System Fitness in the High Park area of Toronto - maybe you’ve even been there.

Anyways, that gym is full of bodybuilders. And hey, I have nothing against them, but they always gave me a hard time when I went in there and finished my supersets and entire workout so fast they didn’t even have time to finish training their biceps.

Perhaps you know how long and slow those bodybuilder isolation workouts are…well no one has time for those anymore.

But the bodybuilders would sit there with their weight belts on
(why did they need a weight belt to do chest exercises?),
sweatsuits, clown pants, and bloated bellies and just stare while I went through my workout and they talked for 5 minutes between sets.

But I still had a lot of fun doing the TT 2K3 workouts back then,
way back in the winter of 2003. It truly is one of my favorite
workouts - and it is one of the TT workouts that gets the most
positive feedback from TT clients.

You’ll get an arm pump just as good as any bodybuilding lunk who spends THREE times as long doing all his isolation exercises. But you’ll get the extra benefits of working your abs and boosting your metabolism with the total body exercises in the TT 2K3 program.

So don’t believe the bodybuilders when they say you have to train a separate body part each day…because that doesn’t work for people who live in the real world and have real commitments but still want to burn body fat and build muscle.

Go in there, and show them just how fast you can get a great workout with the TT2K3 workout from the Turbulence Training manual.

PS - Turbulence Training Beats Bodybuilding Programs for Men & Women

“I have been in love with Turbulence Training ever since I started. I am 6′3″, 28/M and my starting weight/body fat% was 208 pounds and 18.4% body fat. The mix of weight training with the high intensity intervals is the perfect fitness program. I really didn’t believe it would be difficult until I started it. WOW what a burn!! I have finished the TT2K3 and 2K4. In these 5 months, I have upped my dumbell press weight 30 lbs from using 60s to 75s. I can’t wait to start TT2K5 next week and see where I can get my bench up to. After 22 weeks of TT, I am now down to 190 lbs and 10.8% body fat.”
Nick Walters, New York, NY

“I’ve done just about everything from Turbo Jam, P90X, to trying to piece together my own workout, but didn’t get the results I’ve seen with Turbulence Training. My problem has always been my legs. No matter what I tried I have never been able to reduce the size of my thighs. I’ve tried the numerous leg routines featured in countless women’s fitness magazines, but nothing worked. But with Turbulence Training I began to notice that my thighs looked smoother and more toned. Even my calf muscles were a lot more shapely. And I started seeing these changes about three weeks into the program. And I got these result without killing myself. The workouts are efficient and
a lot of fun. I recommend this program to any woman who is
struggling to lose that stubborn lower body fat. It is truly a
godsend. A heartfelt thank you.”
Andrea Dunham

“Been using TT 4 years, love the newsletters. I use the 2K3 all thetime, started off with the original ages ago. I lost 35 pounds in around 2 years & i’m 38 years old!”

For forty five years, only one diet has earned the right to brag about its success.  What is it about Weight Watchers that has made it one of the most popular diets out there?
For starters, Weight Watchers is easy to follow if you are committed to doing the program.  There are now two options for you to chose from.   The first one is the flex plan where instead of counting calories, counting fat, or even counting carbs, you are counting points.   Each food serving you eat is worth a point based on their fat and dietary fiber amounts.  Depending on your weight you will have a set number of points to eat each day.    You can still eat your favorite foods as long as you count the points.   The flex plan is all about portion control. What is even better is  they give you an extra 35 points a week to use however you like.
They have also been doing a no counting plan called the core plan. It is a little more restrictive than the flex plan.   The core plan has a food list to follow.  These foods are low in energy density and they make you feel more satisfied.   These are the only foods you should be eating and you can eat however much you want.   The core plans goal is to also teach you about recognizing the signs of when you are full so that you do not over eat.   With the core, you still get 35 points a week to use, so you can “cheat” and not feel guilty about it.
The freedom with Weight Watchers is what makes it so appealing to so many people.  They are not that restrictive with their food choices as some other diets like Atkins is.   Granted the core does have a list of foods to avoid, that plan still gives you the opportunity to indulge if you should ever feel the urge.   You will not lose weight as fast as you would though on Atkins or other low carbs diets, but your chances of keeping the weight off is greater on Weight Watchers than a low carb diet.
Weight Watchers also believes in a good support system when losing weight and changing your lifestyle.   That is why they offer weekly meetings for their customers.   Most people have seen that if they attend meetings they tend to lose 10% more weight than those that go at it alone.   The secret to the meetings is that the leaders have all been Weight Watcher dieters and are willing to share their struggles and victories so that everyone knows they are not alone.
Between the freedom to chose what sort of lifestyle you want to live and the excellent support system Weight Watchers offer, it is no wonder they have been around for forty five years.

Reality TV has taken on a new angle and it is the diet angle. With shows out there like Celebrity Fit Club and the Biggest Loser, America has become obsessed with watching people lose weight. These shows have capitalized on their popularity and have released their diet secrets for a fee to the public through an online diet program.
The Celebrity Fit Club diet, which has helped celebrities such as Tiffany and Carnie Wilson lose weight over a 14 weeks period. The Celebrity Fit Club diet is really the Fat Smash Diet written by Dr. Ian K. Smith. This is not meant to be considered a “diet” but a change of lifestyle. There are four phases with this diet and the first one is very restrictive because it is considered a detox phase where you can east all the fruits and vegetables you want and then oatmeal, beans and tea. That is it. This detox phase is only for nine days and then the rest of the food is incorporated back in slowly. In Phase two you can add back in lean meats, seafood, cheese, and even cereal though not the sugary kind. In the last stage alcohol and white starches along with sweets are added back in though in very small quantities.
With the Biggest Loser Diet, you have a specific calorie range to stick to. So you do have to count calories but because this program is done online, most of the work is done for you. You will be provided with meal plans, recipes and even a weekly shopping list. This is a diet you can customize to your preferences, for example if you want a low sodium, or vegetarian. The diet itself must consist of healthy fruits and vegetables. You should avoid high fat and high-calorie foods on the Biggest Loser Diet. This is another diet that is a firm believer in portion control and in being able to identify good fats from bad fats.
Both of these however are big advocates of exercise. On both programs you will find that you will be exercising most days. On the Celebrity Fit Club you will be exercising for at least 30 minutes or more five times a week. On Biggest Loser you will be doing between 30-60 minutes of exercise. The maintenance phases for these diet plans work a little different also. It is safe to assume you are going to be following the Celebrity Fit Club diet and exercise routine for the rest of your life. While on the biggest loser you will no longer have to follow a specific plan, but you will have to continue to eat the way you have been and not go back to your old habits.
Both shows attracted a large audience though the Biggest Loser attracts a bigger audience and might have more followers due to the popularity and the dramatic results the players at the ranch see.
