All you<br />need is a simple medicine ball, although a soccer ball or stability<br />ball will work for most of the exercises as well.<br /><br />In Workout A, you'll do 3-4 supersets of medicine ball exercises<br />followed "interval training" with this cool exercise called Power<br />Swings.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CDEhekunkj4&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CDEhekunkj4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />In Workout B, you'll do more advanced strength training exercises<br />with the medicine ball, and finish off with med ball burpees as<br />your interval training.<br /><br />Finally, Workout C is a 10 exercise med ball circuit where you'll<br />go back to back to back with med ball exercises and no rest. You<br />can do that circuit up to three times.<br /><br />With over 25 different and unique medicine ball exercises to help<br />you burn fat during busy times without going to the gym or using<br />fancy, bulky equipment, you'll do fun supersets and challenging<br />circuits, with every single exercise working multiple muscle groups<br />- including your abs.<br /><br />So if you have family coming over, or a work Christmas function all<br />night, you can still do a workout at home with just the ball. It's<br />fast, fun, and effective.<br /><br />No ball? Put it on your Christmas list!<br /><br />Once you get access to the member's area, go to the TT Workout of<br />the Month area to download the Med Ball program.<br /><br />If you want a crack at these TT Med Ball workouts, you'll get free<br />access to the program in the TT Member's area when you grab your<br />copy of Turbulence Training.<br /><br />=> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6dhv9c"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Turbulence Training Program</span></a><br /><br />You'll also get access to the TT Bodyweight Cardio and TT Meathead<br />2.0 programs for a few more days until December 1st hits...<br /><br />Helping you burn more fat in less time,<br /><br />Matt Taylor<br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/6dhv9c"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Turbulence Training Program</span></a><br /><br />PS - This program is perfect for...<br /><br />...when you want a break from the ordinary workouts, or when you<br />are sick of cardio machines, or during the holidays when you only<br />have time for 10 minutes of medicine ball exercis es in your<br />bedroom.<br /><br />Not sure if these are for you?<br /><br />Take the Turbulence Training $4.95 trial option for 21 days.

After you read this article... be sure to leave a comment or two what YOU think about it!<br /><br />-- Matt --<br /><br />The latest Men's Health magazine comes down on elliptical machines hard.<br /><br />Now I know elliptical machines are often the only option for people with bad knees, but if your knees are healthy, think twice before using the elliptical machine for these three reasons.<br /><br />First, on page 52 of the December, 2008 issue, Men's Health warns, "Never trust elliptical machines".<br /><br />They quote a study that found elliptical machines <span style="font-weight: bold;">over-estimated</span> the number of calories burned in a workout by 31%!<br /><br />Ouch.<br /><br />So if your "elliptical cardio workout" burned 400 calories, the truth is you really burned closer to only 300 calories.<br /><br />Second, later in the Dec. issue, Men's Health magazine interviewed Biggest Loser contestant Ed Brantley. Ed lost 73 pounds on the show, but had this to say about elliptical machines, "I hated the elliptical. It was too easy, I didn't feel like I was doing anything."<br /><br />Exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself.<br /><br />But that's EXACTLY why elliptical machines are so popular...<br /><br />You see, the third reason elliptical machines are inferior for fat loss is because they fail my "human nature" test.<br /><br />Put it this way...<br /><br />Take 100 people and put them in a gym with 100 treadmills and 100 elliptical machines.<br /><br />Tell them they have to exercise for 30 minutes at a hard pace, and they have the choice to use either the treadmill or the elliptical.<br /><br />Guess where 90% of folks are going?<br /><br />The elliptical!<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because it is human nature to take the EASY WAY out. And that is why elliptical machines are so busy at the gym and you rarely see anyone doing intervals on a treadmill or bodyweight circuits in the corner of the gym.<br /><br />Often I see folks using the elliptical machine only to say they "worked out", but without getting any REAL work done.<br /><br />So if you are stuck at a fat loss plateau, and you've been counting on the elliptical machine to help you out, then forget it.<br /><br />To burn fat and get more out of your workouts, do interval training outside, on a bike or treadmill, or with kettlebell exercises or bodyweight circuits.<br /><br />For more interval training and bodyweight workouts, visit:<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/5bo4jk"><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://tinyurl.com/5bo4jk</span></a><br /><br />These are all better options in your fight against the fat,<br /><br />Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MSMatt Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07921477585481651019noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860234404955233743.post-24667573582484029992008-11-12T07:22:00.000-08:002008-11-12T07:30:55.294-08:00The God-Awful Truth About Cellulite...

By <a href="http://tgb789asdf.nkdbeauty.hop.clickbank.net/">Joey Atlas</a><br /><br /></span>Do you know this type of woman?<br /><br />She looks great in her 'sexy jeans... She looks amazing in a form fitted skirt... and she actually looks like a 'hottie' in her workout gear... But when she's naked - she can't stand to look at her trouble spots in the mirror because of her cellulite...<br /><br />A bikini is out of the question... the short little dress won't see the light of day... and her man is only allowed to "see her" with the lights off...<br /><br />She doesn't know why she has it. She's heard so many different 'theories'. And she's wasted hundreds, if not, thousands on supposed 'cellulite treatments' - only to find more disappointment and frustration when her cellulite got worse, instead of better...<br /><br />She may have even tried "the gym thing" - doing the same routine every other members does - again only to find the cellulite is still there...<br /><br />She loves her weight, her size and even her shape... All she wants is to be cellulite free...<br /><br />Truth be told there is only one proven way to get rid of cellulite. And yes, it is 'exercise' - but it's not just any old fitness routine... The effective way to banish cellulite is with a specifically structured, laser-targeted cellulite reduction exercise program.<br /><br />In order for the program to deliver the desired results, it must include these six principles called, R.E.D.U.C.E.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">R.E.D.U.C.E.</span><br /><br />1 - Replace all 'weight and machine' lower body exercises with bodyweight exercises -- this may seem counter-intuitive to the mainstream 'fitness' approach to cellulite reduction - but its the main reason why it actually works...<br />2 - Emphasize the slowness of each repetition - This allows the whole muscle to be involved and properly engaged in each exercise - a key to lower body cellulite reduction<br />3 - Don't get caught up in the 'No pain - no gain' mentality -- this concept forces women to think "doing more is better" which is not the case. This actually prohibits the desired result of cellulite reduction and this is also where exercise related injuries occur...<br />4 - Utilize 'items' in your home for a complete lower body, anti-cellulite exercise program -- items such as a cushioned chair or couch, a firm ottoman, and a pantry step stool are ideal...<br />5 - Concentrate on moving from one exercise to the next with no more than 20 seconds between sets -- this is an important element for the cellulite reduction effect...<br />6 - Expect visible cellulite reduction to start within 2 - 3 weeks if you get your lower body sessions in three times per week (some women can get away with just two sessions per week).<br /><br />It is widely know that cellulite affects women of all ages, body types, and body weights.<br /><br />Unfortunately this allows for a lot of unscrupulous marketers of 'hyped up' products, to take advantage of desperate and hopeful women. They employ sneaky advertising tactics that prey on the emotional pain of this large target market - bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits year after year - WITHOUT delivering the promised results...<br /><br />But even when a woman tries the 'exercise' approach to cellulite reduction - she usually falls victim of simply not being on a cellulite-specific exercise program... Hence perpetuating her constant battle with all the ways her cellulite affects her daily life, attitude and happiness...<br /><br />If you've "tried everything" with no results to show for your efforts -take a close look at your exercise program (if you are on one right now) and see how you can incorporate the principles of R.E.D.U.C.E. outlined above.<br /><br />Most of all just be aware that the only way to get rid of the 'orange peel' look of your 'problem zones' is by proper stimulation of the muscles directly beneath your cellulite areas - not with some 'bodybuilder' routine, not with a magical rub-on cream and not with a vibrating toxin releasing massage treatment.<br /><br />Joey Atlas is the Publisher of the controversial <a href="http://tgb789asdf.nkdbeauty.hop.clickbank.net/">'<span style="font-weight: bold;">Cellulite Reduction Report'</span></a>.

I get an email from Tom Venuto answering the question...<br /><br />Now for those of you who aren't familiar with Tom Venuto... he is a competitive bodybuilder who just hit the big 40 and is also the author of <a href="http://tgb789asdf.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle</span></a>. I find him an authority on nutrition and how to lose body fat. And he didn't disappoint me here...<br /><br />So I posted it on my blog for my readers can read what he had to say about this subject and discuss at the end of the post. Don't forget to leave a comment at the end of this blog what you think...<br /><br />================<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Is fruit making you fat? The FINAL word on fructose and fat loss</span><br /><br />Does fruit make you fat? Are bodybuilders right when they cut out fruit before competitions or is that unnecessary? These and other questions have been hotly debated for decades. Kevin Larrabee of the Fit Cast show puts this question to Tom Venuto, who puts everything in perspective and gives you the final word on fruit, fructose and fat loss...<br /><br />--------------------------------------------<br />TRANSCRIPT:<br />--------------------------------------------<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">KEVIN LARRABEE:</span> Well, let's jump right into the questions. The first one we have comes from Chris. He says, "I'm just curious, what are your thoughts about fructose? Should the average person avoid a lot of fruit? I tend to avoid starchy carbs altogether, instead focusing on lean protein, fruit and veggies, in addition to healthy fats. Should I be worried about the fructose stuff? I eat 3 to 5 pieces of fruit a day, and that includes apples, grapes, bananas, oranges and really whatever is on sale at the store."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TOM VENUTO:</span> I saw this topic got stirred up again just a few weeks ago. There was a study published in June, and it got written up in The New York Times, about fructose getting converted into fat. And you know how good the media is at reporting scientific research. Right? <span style="font-style: italic;">[sarcasm]</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">KEVIN LARRABEE:</span> Oh, it's great. It's fantastic. I go to The New York Times for all my nutrition information actually.<span style="font-style: italic;"> [more sarcasm!]</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TOM VENUTO:</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">[laughs]</span> Well, it was The Journal for the American Nutrition Society. The title, right off the bat, was really damning. It said, "Dietary Sugars Stimulate Fatty Acid Synthesis." Then The New York Times' article says, "Does Fructose Make You Fatter?" And everybody saw<br />that and they're like, "Oh, my God! Fruit turns into fat!"<br /><br />To tell you the truth, having started in the bodybuilding world, I believed that too. That's what I was taught. I was taught that fruit turns to fat, and when you go on a contest diet, you have to cut the fruit out. So when I was just starting out in bodybuilding, in my first few contests, I cut the fruit out. And then I started to really analyze it and it didn't seem to make any sense to me, so I put the fruit back in. I didn't see one shred of difference.<br /><br />If you really go and look at these studies, like this new one, they were talking about high fructose corn syrup, not whole fruit. We know that the fructose goes to preferentially restore the liver glycogen, and the liver has a limited storage capacity. Some of the studies suggest that about<br />50 grams of fructose before it starts to spill into fat, at least in the context of those studies.<br /><br />But does anybody know how much 50 grams of fructose is? I mean, in terms of soda, or high fructose corn syrup, I don't think it's hard at all to get 50 grams. And in that study, they didn't give people whole fruit. They gave them a big liquid dose that had 85 grams of carbs in a 75% fructose solution. That's like 64 grams of fructose all at once. So there you have it. That's consistent with what you'd expect based on the research.<br /><br />Now, if you look at whole fruit, everybody saw the headline and they thought, "Fruit equals fructose." But fruit and fructose aren't exactly the same thing. A lot of people think that all the sugars in fruit are fructose. But a typical piece of fruit has what? About 6-7 grams of fructose?<br />Maybe you'd get about 10 in a big banana, and some of the berries that are really high in fiber, have only 2-3 grams of fructose. So it would take almost an impossible-to-eat amount, especially if you're trying to stay in a calorie deficit, for that to cause any fat storage. And if you're<br />in a calorie deficit for the day anyway, should we really be worried about it?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">KEVIN LARRABBE:</span> Yeah.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TOM VENUTO:</span> I think fruit is good for a fat loss diet. You could actually make an argument that you should include it because it's high in nutrients, it's high in fiber; it's high in water content, and we know that's a combination right there (high fiber, high water) that's good for reducing appetite and making you feel fuller. So maybe the pre-contest bodybuilder or the low carb dieter is going to pull back on fruit a little bit. But that's mainly a function of cutting down on everything across the board -- cutting down calories across the board and cutting down carbs across the board. Fruit is just too nutritionally valuable to get rid of.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">KEVIN LARRABEE:</span> Exactly. I think something that Craig Ballantyne said was that he's never had a client that got fat by eating fruit. They got fat by having breads, like pastries, junk food,<br />pizzas, things like that. You're not going to get fat by eating fruit. I think people are just focusing on the wrong things.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TOM VENUTO:</span> Yeah. Absolutely. Eat your fruit.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tgb789asdf.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.buildmusclefastreviews.com/images/tom_venuto_%28150_x_150%29.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Visit Tom Venuto's website for more information about </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://tgb789asdf.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net/">body fat loss and nutrition</a><br /></div><br />Comments?

Dietary Evil or The New Superfood by Tom Venuto<span style="font-weight: bold;">Question for Tom Venuto...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">QUESTION:</span> Tom I’m really confused about eggs. I’m not even sure if youre going to be able to answer this or not, but to me and I’m sure others, it’s a very confusing and important topic. I only use egg whites because I did believe that the yolks are bad because of cholesterol and saturated fat. But with the studies coming out saying we are missing all of the best nutrients by throwing the yolks out it is very confusing. Could you please help clarify this issue and I have attached an article I got from another e-book author for your reference about what I’ve been reading, which spurred my frustration to contact you.<br /><br />-Michael<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tgb789asdf.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 136px; height: 179px;" src="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/images/venuto5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tom Venuto comments on whole eggs</span>...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ANSWER:</span> It’s overly simplistic to say that the saturated or animal fats cause heart disease. It’s even more simplistic and incorrect to say that foods high in dietary cholesterol such as egg yolks, will always lead to an increase in cholesterol in the blood.<br /><br />Many other factors are involved, including the type of saturated fat, individual genetics, current health status, exercise and the big picture of what else is consumed in the rest of the diet.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Research Says Eggs Are Not Evil</span><br /><br />Recent research has been showing that the cholesterol in eggs is handled by most people’s bodies in a way that doesn’t cause heart disease and that dietary cholesterol does not necessarily translate to increased blood cholesterol or an unfavorable ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol.<br />After a recent study published in The Journal Of Nutrition, Dr. Robert Nicolosi at the University of Massachusetts said, “Our data show that eating an egg a day is not a factor for raising cholesterol.” A study reported at the 2006 experimental biology meeting in San Francisco made similar findings. The researchers discovered that when people ate three or more eggs per day, the amount of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in their bloodstream did in fact increase as previously reported. However they also found that the subjects actually made bigger LDL particles which were less likely to enter artery walls and build up as artery-clogging plaque. As a result of these and similar findings, head researcher Christine Green said that a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that eggs should not be considered a “dietary evil.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whole Eggs Have “Super-Food” Qualities</span><br /><br />Whole eggs have a lot going for them nutritionally speaking. The egg yolks contain a highly bioavailable source of lutein and zeaxanthin which are carotenoids that protect against cataracts and macular degeneration.<br /><br />Eggs are a great source of high biological value complete protein and the protein is split almost evenly between the yolk and the white. One large egg contains 6.3 grams of protein with 3.5 grams in the white and 2.8 grams in the yolk. Although whole eggs appear to have been exonerated, it still may not be wise to suggest that anyone can eat eggs in unlimited quantities, for both health and body composition reasons. Dr. Udo Erasumus in his book, Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, said that in 70% of the affluent populations of the world, increased cholesterol consumption decreases cholesterol production in the body through a regulating feedback system that protects them. The other 30% of the population may not have adequate feedback, and are wise to limit their dietary cholesterol consumption.<br /><br />Unlimited egg consumption is also not wise from a caloric perspective. In a fat burning program, you need to consider calories as well as nutritional value and health impact.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whole Eggs And Fat Loss</span><br /><br />Eggs are fairly calorie dense, while egg whites are extremely low in calories, which is why egg whites are one of the top choices for lean protein on calorie-restricted fat loss and bodybuilding diets.<br /><br />Now that this news about the health value of whole eggs is starting to become more widely circulated, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have been criticized for their long held practice of throwing away the egg yolks. However, In all my years of training, even back in the late 1980’s, and 1990’s I’ve never thrown away all my yolks. My menu plans typically contain one or two whole eggs with 8-12 egg whites. I know that’s a lot of whites, but that’s a man-sized bodybuilder meal. For non bodybuilders or people with lower calorie needs, it might be one whole egg and 3-6 whites. Why not ALL whole eggs? Well you could do that, but using more whites than yolks provides the high protein without so many calories. Using all whole eggs would be more appropriate in a low carb diet, and I usually use more balanced diets with moderate amounts of natural carbs to fuel my training.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take a look at this egg white - egg yolk comparison:</span><br /><br />3 whole large eggs: 225 calories, 18.9 g protein, 15 g fat 8 egg whites & 1 whole egg: 211 calories, 34.3 g protein, 5 g fat<br /><br />Do you see what was accomplished here? I didn’t remove egg yolks because I’m afraid of cholesterol. I removed most of the egg yolks because I was on a calorie budget and I was on a higher protein diet and I wanted more protein with fewer calories. Make sense?<br /><br />Another reason that bodybuilders use liquid eqq whites so often is for convenience. They can pour them from the carton right into the fry pan and they don’t have to do all that shell cracking and egg white separating.<br /><br />Let me leave you with a funny story. vince gironda<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whole Eggs - “Better Than Steroids???</span><br /><br />When I started bodybuilding as a teenager, I latched onto the teachings of a bodybuilding guru trainer from North Hollywood named Vince Gironda.<br /><br />Gironda trained all the top movie stars back in his day including Erik Estrada, Clint Eastwood, Tommy Chong, Carl “Apollo Creed” Weathers and too many others to mention. He was also the Trainer of bodybuilding champions such as Larry Scott the First Mr. Olympia, and believe it or not, he was Arnold’s first trainer when Joe Weider sent the budding young star to America from Austria.<br /><br />Gironda had been saying from day one (back in the 1950’s and 1960’s) that the whole egg was “nature’s perfect food” and he compared them to “natural steroids.”<br />On some of his low carb “muscle definition” diets, he said you could eat as many whole eggs as you wanted and even scramble them in butter. He said that he had some of his champion bodybuilders on up to three dozen eggs a day!<br /><br />I didn’t really understand what a ketogenic diet was at the time, but being an obedient, guru-following teenage bodybuilder, desperate for muscle, I did what he said. I ate up to 3 dozen whole eggs a day for months on end.<br /><br />Well, there was no miraculous steroid-like effect, and I didn’t drop dead of a heart attack either.<br /><br />One thing I did notice is that I DID NOT LOSE FAT like Gironda said I would.<br /><br />The reason should be obvious: three dozen whole eggs is 2700 calories (more if you use extra large or jumbo eggs). I was at nearly maintenance calories from the eggs alone, and eggs weren’t the only thing I was eating.<br /><br />Gironda, like many other low carb gurus, did not place any restrictions on calories, only on foods. Gironda was a genius, years ahead of his time, but this was one little flaw in his program. Even on low carb diets, you STILL need a caloric deficit to lose body fat.<br /><br />Thus, my approach changed and I went back to more “normal” quantities of eggs and I started removing some of the yolks to keep me more easily within my caloric deficit without losing the high quality protein… but I never cut all the yolks because of their excellent nutritional value… To this day, I still keep one or two yolks in my omelettes and scrambles… sometimes more, as long as it fits in my calorie budget. Get crackin!<br /><br />Tom Venuto<br /><a href="http://tgb789asdf.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Burn the Fat</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PS.</span> One last thing. Keep in mind that the quality of the egg is only as good as the quality of the bird it came from. This is why many health experts recommend free range eggs and or omega-3 eggs<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PPS</span> For more information about fat burning nutrition, visit: <a href="http://tgb789asdf.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Burn the Fat</span></a>Matt Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07921477585481651019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860234404955233743.post-53425092732617592232008-10-02T16:21:00.000-07:002008-10-02T16:24:15.141-07:00Turbulence Training Transformation Contest - Lose 7-12 Pounds in 28 DaysHi,<br /><br />Who will be the winner of the 4-Week Rapid Weight Loss Turbulence Training Transformation Contest?<br /><br />Will it be the guy who lost 12 pounds in 28 days or the gal who lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks?<br /><br />You get to pick the winner with your vote here:<br /><br /><div>=> <a title="" href="http://tinyurl.com/6ce2yb"><strong>http://tinyurl.com/6ce2yb</strong></a></div><br />But hurry, voting ends Monday, October 6th at midnight!<br /><br />I've made my vote, now it is time for yours.<br /><br />Check out these guys and gals who have lost up to 7-12 pounds in just 4 weeks with Turbulence Training.

If that sounds like you, then you need to join the Turbulence Training weight loss transformation contest.<br /><br />There's already been some powerful, emotional stories told in fitness magazines, and folks from all over the world are helping one another to finally change their bodies. Your weight loss transformation is going to be an amazing 12 weeks. So I thought this would be the best time to give you my Top 7 Transformation Tips to help you lose more weight in the next 12 weeks.<br /><br />Here are my Top 7 Transformation Secrets that you can use to burn fat from all over your body with Turbulence Training.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #1) Clean out the pantry</span><br /><br />One of the biggest pitfalls in a weight loss program is added sugar and mindless snacking (especially between getting home from work and dinner).<br /><br />Get rid of the junk. Toss it. Better the garbage can eats it than you do.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #2) Stop doing slow boring cardio</span><br /><br />Increase the intensity of your workouts and switch to interval training. And yes, even beginners can do interval training when using the metabolism- boosting short, burst workout system.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip # 3) Use professionally designed, structured workouts such as my Turbulence Training Workouts that have been featured in Men's Health magazine</span><br /><br />You should be in and out of your short, burst workouts in less than 45 minutes, three times per week. On the other 4 days of the week, stay active, getting at least a 30-minute walk in each day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #4) Set up home gym with ball, bench, and adjustable dumbells</span><br /><br />That's all you need. If you are feeling frisky, you can add a pull-up bar to<br />your home gym.<br /><br />But to change your body, you only need a little bit of equipment at home. You don't need an expensive gym membership or one of those colossal home gyms, or even a pricey bowflex.<br /><br />Your body doesn't discriminate on price. It simply responds to the turbulence training you put on your body, and you can do that on the cheap.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #5) Use short, burst Bodyweight Circuits at home instead of using cardio machines.</span><br /><br />Choose 3 lower body exercises and 3 upper body exercises. Alternate between upper and lower body bodyweight exercises. Watch my youtube video on circuit training for more details.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Tip #6) Plan, shop, and prepare your food</span><br /><br />Finding the right nutrition program is CRITICAL to success, and so is planning. You can't out-train a bad diet, but you can out-plan bad habits. So invest 2 hours on the weekend to prepare as many of your fat burning meals as possible for the week ahead.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #7) Get Social Suppor</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">t</span><br /><br />This is the most important Weight Loss Secret that no one pays attention to.<br /><br />But the bottom line is...you can't do this on your own.<br /><br />You need support from others to stick to your workouts, to make the right diet choices day-in and day-out and to have someone prop you up when you are feeling down and also to "call you out" when you are feeling like cutting corners.<br /><br />Get social support on your side today with help from Turbulence Training.<br /><br />Put these 7 Secrets to use today and you can lose 14-30 pounds in 12 weeks just like our past Transformation Contest Winners. And please refer your friends to the contest. You'll be supporting them and helping them change their bodies & their lives.<br /><br />I can't wait to hear about your results in the Turbulence Training transformation contest.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />About the Author</span><br /><br />Craig Ballantyne is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and writes for Men's Health, Men's Fitness, Maximum Fitness, Muscle and Fitness Hers, and Oxygen magazines.

How Expensive is Your Workout?Written by Holly Rigsby, Author of the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial">Fit Yummy Mummy</a><br /><br />What is your workout costing you?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/fat-loss-for-busy-moms/"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 95px; height: 136px;" src="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/images/7StepStartGuide_eBook_4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Time, money, energy, your sanity....?<br /><br />Ready to turn the tables and create the expense of FAT LOSS?<br /><br />That is what everyone desires in the first place, right? As you lose the fat, you reveal a new, lean, toned and beautiful body.<br /><br />However as you begin a fitness plan, it can be quite confusing, for many plans lead you to believe that the best, fastest and most satisfying results are found in "Weight Loss" - only perpetuating the very unhealthy relationship we have with the scale.<br /><br />Leading us to make the choices that causes the numbers to fluctuate which only drains our mental energies as we fret over what we are doing wrong to make the scale and our bodies so uncooperative with our efforts.<br /><br />Time to stop the insanity! (once again).<br /><br />Change your focus to Fat Loss and try what DOES work when it comes to effective and efficient workouts -and stop wasting your time, money, energies and sanity on a system that is not delivering the results you so badly desire.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The System:</span><br /><br />Intense Full Body Resistance Training<br /><br />Intense = Challenging<br /><br />No lolly gagging, no chatting while working out, no hour long workout sessions.<br /><br />Just simple, to the point, compound movements, performed in super set fashion. You just have 6 exercises that you perform in pairs, back to back with little to no rest.<br /><br />This allows you to work the largest muscle groups in your body to the point of CHANGE - initiating the increase if lean muscle.<br /><br />The more intense your workout, the more EXPENSIVE it is for your body - therefore your body must PAY in the form of FAT LOSS.<br /><br />Muscle is essential to Fat Loss!<br /><br />The more lean muscle you have, the more fat your burn, the more inches you lose, the faster you get back into your skinny jeans.<br /><br />One of the great reasons why the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit Yummy Mummy</span></a> workouts deliver results so quickly is due to the intense nature of a Full Body Workout.<br /><br />The more muscles you work, in a short period of time not only allows you to burn a significant amount of calories WHILE you are working out.....but does so l-o-n-g after your workout ends.<br /><br />YEP!<br /><br />You actually Get your body to work FOR you.<br /><br />How much easier could the process of Fat Loss be?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">You simply cannot get this same effect with.....</span><br /><br />~ Cardio - no matter how long you do cardio, for cardio does NOTHING to increase lean muscle - and in fact, the more you DO, the more you risk losing lean muscle. In FACT, your body actually begins to break muscle down in order to provide you with the fuel you need to keep going.<br /><br />Just another reason why Intervals are the Ideal Solution.<br /><br />~ Hour Long Resistance Training Workouts<br /><br />If it is taking an hour to do your workouts - you are missing the point of consolidating your workouts into full body, metabolism boosting moves as well as missing out on the intensity and challenge a true fat burning workout can provide.<br /><br />First, for those of you who do know, there is no way if you were working out intensely that you could go much longer than 15 minutes!<br /><br />Second, the longer you place your body in a state of stress, the more cortisol - the stress hormone - you will have pumping through your body. STRESS is GOOD for you in Small Doses - as prescribed with the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit Yummy Mummy</span></a> short burst resistance training moves for this is what stimulates NEW muscle growth. Hour long Stress Sessions - Not Good and completely counterproductive to your efforts.<br /><br />Cortisol is known for increasing Fat Storage AND did you know cortisol also breaks down lean muscle? What a double whammy!<br /><br />Yet another reason why Less is More.<br /><br />~ Isolating One Muscle Group at a Time<br /><br />Once again, this misses out on the concept of intensity. Burning out one small muscle group at a time comes nowhere close to the metabolic expense of targeting those SAME tiny muscle groups with compound movements.<br /><br />This is why each and every <a href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit Yummy Mummy</span></a> workout contains lower body, upper body (push and pull) and core moves.<br /><br />Plus, the main reason why many woman choose to isolate muscle groups is due to the horrid myth of Spot Reduction. You simply cannot burn fat off one area simply by working that muscle. The muscle does not own the fat on top of it.<br /><br />Short Burst Resistance Training is the System that Works.<br /><br />Get More Bang for Your Buck! Why would you want to do it any other way?<br /><br />If any of the scenarios describe your current workout plan I highly encourage you to try a new system.<br /><br />Time to create the expense that delivers results.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit Yummy Mummy</span></a><br /><br />Get MORE out of Doing Less<br /><br />Burn the Baby Fat and Get Your Body Back in just 90 Minutes a Week...Matt Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07921477585481651019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860234404955233743.post-49461759088012148472008-09-18T05:12:00.000-07:002008-09-18T08:20:07.299-07:00Hey Mom... Is High Fructose Corn Syrup OK in Moderation? Find Out From Holly Rigsby, Author of the Fit Yummy MummyWritten by Holly Rigsby, Author <a href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit Yummy Mummy</span></a><br /><br />==================================<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">From the High Fructose Corn Syrup Commercial…</span><br /><br />“Wow you don’t care what the kids eat, huh?”<br /><br />“You know what they say about it”……Silence for this mom is STUMPED<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/fat-loss-for-busy-moms/"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 95px; height: 162px;" src="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/images/before.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Come back:<br /><br />“There’s no artificial ingredients and like sugar it is okay in moderation”<br /><br />In Moderation……….That is the KEY, right?<br /><br />When it comes to a sound health and fitness plan, anything is okay on moderation.<br /><br />And my son Tyler will be the first to tell you that it is okay to have ice cream and go to McDonald’s…..Once in awhile.<br /><br />He even asks if it is “once in awhile yet”, especially if McDonald’s is advertising a movie related toy that he is “into”.<br /><br />So what IS the problem?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/fat-loss-for-busy-moms/"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 159px;" src="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/images/after.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Well the commercial is right in the fact that, in moderation, the consumption is okay, just like regular sugar.<br /><br />However, HFCS is found in almost every type of processed food.<br /><br />“In Moderation” does not mean “consume 5 to 6 times a day” – when in fact, our children are!<br /><br />Surprised?<br /><br />Wait until you Take a Look in your pantry, your fridge, your snack drawer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">You will find it in:</span><br /><ul><li>flavored milk</li><li>juices</li><li>juice boxes</li><li>granola snack bars</li><li>cereals</li><li>peanut butter</li><li>fruit chews</li><li>dried fruit</li><li>fruit cups</li><li>yogurt</li><li>whole wheat bread</li><li>whole wheat crackers</li><li>and many other “healthy” sounding food items.</li></ul>HFCS can even be innocently consumed while dining on spaghetti, seasoning with Worcester sauce, topping a salad, or dipping something into catsup.<br /><br />As a Busy Moms it seems to be so much easier to choose a more convenient form of “health” foods for their children. When in fact, the foods chosen are processed and contain HFCS.<br /><br />Based on the list above, it is highly likely your child is consuming these empty calories 5 to 6 times a day!<br /><br />Hardly what anyone would consider “In Moderation”.<br /><br />The impact?<br /><br />The USDA suggests most of us limit our intake of added sugar — that’s everything from the high fructose corn to plain old teaspoons of sugar — to about 10 to 12 teaspoons a day.<br /><br />This is not exactly a campaign that encourages us to do so. On average it is easy to take in over 30 teaspoons of sugar a day, which was more than 15 percent of our caloric intake.<br /><br />These empty calorie foods are simply taking the place of more nutritious, satisfying, health promoting foods our children should be eating.<br /><br />The Solution?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">You can choose to….</span><br /><br />~ Check the Labels of the convenience foods you are buying and seek out a HFCS-Free item or even better<br /><br />~ Replace all the highly processed foods with whole, natural foods - foods that actually promote health, wellness and a lifetime of fitness when it comes to the future of our children.<br /><br />Need help?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Try this…</span><br /><ul><li>Replace the juice with water</li><li>Replace the granola bars with apple slices and almonds</li><li>Replace the flavored milk with organic milk - Tyler's favorite, "Horizon"</li><li>Next…..Refer to your very own lifestyle system - <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://tinyurl.com/FYMTrial">Fit Yummy Mummy</a>.</li><li>Live the life you want your children to live.</li></ul>Matt Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07921477585481651019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860234404955233743.post-65006509839446155212008-09-17T19:14:00.002-07:002008-09-17T19:29:24.981-07:00Abs Superset from Craig Ballantyne of TTAre you ready to rock your world with a challenging Abs superset from <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/weight-loss-routines/turbulence-training/">Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training</a>?<br /><br /><object width="319" height="258"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mZOVA52hqv8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mZOVA52hqv8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="319" height="258"></embed></object><br /><br />Enjoy the short but intense workout.<br /><br />Be sure to check out my review of <a href="http://www.healthy-weight-loss-fitness-program.com/weight-loss-routines/turbulence-training/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Turbulence Training from Craig Ballantyne</span></a> over at my website.

I've Got a Better Idea... How About Take a Child Outside Whenver the Weather is Great?Apparently the week between September 24-30 is "Take A Child Outside" week...<br /><br />The purpose is to encourage parents to take their child out for a hike or enjoy the fresh air...<br /><br />This is good and bad...<br /><br />I think it is awesome to meld with the child and do something together...<br /><br />But one week ain't enough! And this is where it gets sad...<br /><br />You see, there is a rising epidemic of child obesity everywhere...<br /><br />Shoot, I remember when I was growing up... my mother would shoo me and my brothers out the door after breakfast during the summer months... and we can only come back for some lunch and then later on when it was time to come home for dinner and bedtime...<br /><br />That was 25 years ago...<br /><br />And now... kids prefer to stay in their rooms and use the computer online, watch tee-vee and play their video games.<br /><br />And eat tons of junk food.<br /><br />No more fresh air... no more exercises and kid games...<br /><br />I get a little nostalgic about what life used to be and what it is now...<br /><br />They say computers and modern conveniences are a boon for productivity and advancement of civilization...<br /><br />But I don't think so.<br /><br />Let's make it "Take a Child Outside" whenever the weather is great and shut the computers, tvs and video games off.<br /><br />Are you with me here?Matt Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07921477585481651019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860234404955233743.post-81694830243810964972008-09-15T07:28:00.001-07:002008-09-16T08:42:59.659-07:00If Jennifer Lopez or J-Lo Can Rid of Her "Baby Weight"...
