Fat Burning Answers

Turbulence Training is a fat burning weight loss program consisting of downloadable e-books and audio.   The program was developed by Craig Ballantyne, a fitness trainer and writer for fitness magazines.

In Turbulence Training you combine brief weight lifting workouts, with 4-6 intervals of running, cycling or body weight circuits to burn fat while increasing your muscle mass.

How Does the Program Work?

Each workout takes only 45 minutes, including warm-ups and cool down.   You do three of those per week.   You switch workouts every fourth week to keep your body guessing – or in turbulence.   This allows you to keep losing fat and to avoid plateaus in your progress.

There are separate workouts for men and women.

There are also separate workouts for

• beginners to weight training and for those are relatively unfit
• people who have worked out in the past, but havent done so recently
• people who are at an advanced level in weight training

According to Ballantyne, you need to have variety in your workouts to keep on boosting your metabolism, and burning fat month after month.   If you continue with the same workout, your results would screech to a halt after 5 or 6 weeks.

You need to change your workouts every 3-4 weeks to kickstart your fat burning and your metabolism to a new level.   Because you need to have variety in your workouts, he has provided many workouts for you to do.

The Turbulance Training program does not include aerobic exercise routines and it is very light on nutrition and dietary information.
