• Can you loose 10 pounds in 7 days? Yes you can

    Posted on June 1st, 2009 kobusp No comments

    By following this 4 easy tips on how to change yourself in a spanking new you, it is very easy to loose 10 pounds in 7 days. I did it and I will be the first to admit that it was not easy.

    Depends on your age, but it probably took years to get where you are today and it might not be that easy to loose weight, definitely not overnight. But there is hope.

    The first question people ask is: Where do you start with a weight loss program?

    My suggestion is to use this tips below and get in shape:

    Tip number 1 - Change your mind


    You will need to make a total mind shift change to even start with weight loss. You will not be able to finish if you keep your old habits. You cannot have a different outcome if you do the same things over and over. This goes for everything in life. Change your mind to change your life.

    Tip number 2 - Find your bad habits.


    Make a list of all your bad eating habits. Do you have a soft spot for fast food? Do you have craves for chocolate or coffee? Can there be things you will have to put aside for a while until you reach the weight of your choice. If you know what your bad habits are, you can eliminate them or at least be aware of them. Just remember, by thinking of your bad habits all day long, you will crave even more for them.

    Tip number 3 - Find a program that suits your lifestyle.


    It is no use you try a weigh loss program that need you to weigh and measure your food 5 times a day, if you work in a environment that will not allow you to do that. You need to look at what you can do, and then search for a program that suits you.

    Tip number 4 - Make the program your friend.


    Be happy about your future achievements. Know your outcome. Know the advantages of loosing the extra pounds. Be sure that the struggle will be worth it. You will for sure want to go back to your old eating pattern. No doubt about that. It is the easy way to do and people go back to what they found easy to do.
    Make a mental picture of yourself the way you want to look, think about it when you want to cheat. Write down on a big piece of paper why you need to loose weight, read it everyday till you believe it.
    Know that you can do it. Also know that the outcome totally overshadow the struggle. If you have your family and friends on your side, it will be much easier. Just don’t give up, even if you cheated a bit, go back on the program and get it done with.

    Till next time, stay healthy

     

    PS. I’m watching you! Don’t cheat

  • Weight loss through changing your mind

    Posted on May 22nd, 2009 kobusp No comments

    weightloss_iconWe are what we think. This is a famous saying. This is the essence behind the concept of weight loss through the software advertised in the website www.store.unexplainable.net. This website is a repository of different kinds of software that are used to enhance the brain power. Though there are pills for any kind of ailment, they do not provide permanent relief. However this software gives permanent relief from any kind of ailment, at reasonable prices and without any side effects.

    Weight loss is the happening word today. Almost everybody thinks that they are overweight and take desperate efforts to slim down. They maintain very strict diet and mostly, they almost eat nothing at all, resulting to under nourishment. Having a healthy body is very important for one’s own confidence levels. Many dieticians and doctors around the world recommend specific foods and recommend tablets to bring about weight loss. The fact is that, these do bring about weight loss without doubt, but they are not long standing. After a few weeks or months, the weight tends to appear on one’s body. This is the biggest disadvantage of all the medicines and the diet programs that are available in the market today.

    However the software available in this website is only about positive recordings. It has a lot of positive recordings that emphasize that nobody is overweight. The term weight itself is a negative term. The priority is to have a healthy body. One should stop worrying that he is overweight, or does not have the correct physique for his age. These negative energies aggravate weight gain. No matter how strict the food or diet is, no matter how many tablets one takes, weight loss never happens because of the negative energies in the mind.

    The brain is the controller of the human body. When there are so many negative forces in the brain, how can one expect to lose weight? Thoughts are more effective than tablets. Everybody should agree to this. One can download this software at a reasonable price and listen to the positive recordings that clear the myth of weight loss. This gives an insight into what weight means and how one should control it. It may appear pschycological to few people, however the fact is that, after listening to these recordings, one is bound to feel good about his physical appearance. The world always weighs us on our confidence levels.

    This program is sure to give enough confidence levels to project a positive picture to the world. It is not the weight, but the attitude that matters. As long as one has a healthy body, one should not bother about his weight. Continuously listening to these recordings sends positive signals to the brain and automatically controls the food that we intake. Weight loss happens naturally without any external medication. This is the best way to lose weight. In addition to that, one begins to feel so good and confident about oneself. This satisfaction is never achieved even at times of strict diet control or weight loss medications.

  • Weight Loss for Women At Home 

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS

    tt_nutritionguide_2_3A woman’s workout should consist of leg raises, biceps curls with
soup cans, and triceps kickbacks with water bottles.

    Can you believe that silliness?

    Neither can I, but that is what passes for “professional fitness
advice for women” these days.

    I could see this info being accepted in the 1930’s (maybe?), but in the year 2007? Please…

    Does anyone really believe that biceps curls with water bottles is going to prepare women to carry their children to bed, a bag of heavy groceries in from the car, or swing a sledgehammer during home reno’s?

    No way. You need real-world workouts and fat loss advice. Not fluff.

    Am I the only one that finds those types of recommendations
disrespectful to the physical capabilities of women? You’d think
that Linda Hamilton’s chin-up scene in Terminator 2 would have turned the tide of female fitness, or perhaps Demi Moore’s GI Jane.

    I’ve watched women get fit fast at almost any age with Turbulence Training. In fact, we’ve had girls from 18 to 82 years young kickin’ butt with Turbulence Training.

    Today, I want to share the story of a classic “supermom”, you know the mom with 3 active kids that has to drive them everywhere, eat on the run, and still find room for workouts. Her name is Brandy Kirton, and she’ll show you how real women train, eat, and find the time to do it all with proper planning.

    CB: Brandy, tell us about your past exercise and nutrition experiences. At what point did you find out about Turbulence Training and what persuaded you to start using it?

    BK: 
I started working out back on high school. I’m 30 now.

    I became a personal trainer for a few years in my early 20’s. So I learned a lot about nutrition and weight training. I have been in great shape and not so great shape in the last 10 years. I think I found Turbulence Training just surfing the web and decided to give it a try. I was desperate to lose weight after my 3rd kid.

    CB: And how was this a change from what you had done in the past?

    BK: 
I was doing 30 minutes of cardio and then lifted for 30 mins
3 to 4 times a week. That was if I actually could make time.

I would not work out if I knew I couldnt get it all in. I would
think, “What’s the point of 20 mins?”.

CB: What kind of results have you achieved with Turbulence Training? And is there anything else, besides the results, you love about the Turbulence Training programs?

    BK: 
I love how it changes every month so I never get bored. I also love that I have no excuse about not having time to fit it in.

    My results have been great. I am getting toned up and consistently loosing inches. I also have a lot more energy.

    CB: Do you workout at home or in a gym?

    BK: 
I have to work out at home. No time to get to a gym.

    CB: Has Turbulence Training had a positive impact on your lifestyle?

    BK: 
Turbulence Training has made a huge impact on me. I dont feel like it takes up my whole day or get bored of the same thing day in and day out.

    I feel strong and love the daily emails. It helps me stay motivated.

    I work full time, have three kids 9, 5, and 11 months, and a
husband. My older two kids play every sports so there really
is no extra time.

    I have to get up at 5:30 to work out before they wake up but its
worth it. I feel great after I am done and no matter what happens that day I have already got my work out in which feels great.

    CB: Do you have any social support? If so, how has this helped
you?

    BK: 
My mom comes over in the mornings to work out with me. I need that accountability so that I don’t sleep instead. Its hard to get up but I always feel so much better when I do.

    CB: What are your daily obstacles and temptations that you have to avoid with respect to nutrition and training? And what
strategies do you use?

    BK: 
With all the practices, games and running around I have to do its hard not to grab McDonald’s with the kids.

    I try to either bring food with me or wait until I get home. If I
have to eat out I do try and find grilled chicken or subway.

    CB: How do you plan your nutrition?

    BK: 
I have to go shopping on Sunday to stock up on all my healthy
food. Otherwise I will eat whatever I can find which usually is not good for me.

    CB: Thanks Brandy, keep up the great work.

    ****
The message is clear. Plan, prepare, commit, and be consistent.
Brandy didn’t use any magic pills or potions to succeed, she simply found a great workout plan, and did what she had to do.

    As a supermom, Brandy practically has to create time out of thin air in order to do her workout, but again, she knows what she has to do and she does it. She’s committed. She has social support. She knows the correct options for eating on the run.

    She has made the effort to plan for the obstacles (lack of time,
workout motivation) that we all come across. And by doing that,
she’s cleared a simple path to success.

    And she doesn’t waste time in the gym with slow, boring cardio
workouts. Instead, she sculpts her body in half the time with the
Turbulence Training workouts.

  • Title: 80-20 Fat Loss Rule 
By line: By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS

    Posted on May 16th, 2009 kobusp No comments

    What is Turbulence Training?

    Turbulence training is my method of doing strength training
and interval training in one workout. So that you get in and out of the gym whether it’s your home gym or whether it’s a commercial gym. You get your workout done in 45 minutes.

    We start with a 5-minute bodyweight warm up and then we do strength training for 20 minutes, whether it’s bodyweight training or dumbbells. Sometimes we use barbells but most people that I work with train at home so we just use dumbbells and bodyweight exercises - no fancy equipment needed.

    Then we finish with 20 minutes of interval training. We are using the most efficient and effective training methods. The stuff that gets you the most results in the least amount of time. So we are not doing long, slow cardio sessions and we’re not doing 5 or 6 day per week bodybuilding training programs.

    It’s like the old business principle - 80% of your results come
from 20% of your efforts - so why do endless amounts of cardio and redundant strength training exercises?

    Do only what you need to do and then get out of the gym.

    Don’t live in the gym,

  • Best Foods for Fat Burning 

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS


    Posted on May 14th, 2009 kobusp No comments

    tt_nutritionguide_2_3I couldn’t be any simpler with my nutrition recommendations for fat burning. You will get have the most energy and the best body and fitness level possible if you eat whole, natural foods. I always ask Dr. Chris Mohr, author of the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss Nutrition Guidelines if I ever need help with nutrition information.

    You must avoid processed foods, which is pretty much anything in a bag or a box. So cut out muffins, donuts, pre-packaged cereals, white bread, pasta, chips, crackers, cookies, etc. 

    We need to return to a time of simpler eating, focusing on fruits, vegetables, nuts, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It will take some “bad habit breaking” to rid yourself of your addiction to processed foods, but in your journey you will learn to appreciate the taste of REAL food again.

    You don’t have to eat meat to lose fat and build muscle, but it’s not unhealthy to eat beef, chicken, and fish. In fact, fish contains essential fatty acids we can’t do without.

    You might have heard about the importance of healthy fats, which is a big turn-around from the low-fat mentality of the 80’s and 90’s. We now know eating fish and nuts won’t make us fat, but will in fact make us healthy and help control our appetite.

    So just focus on foods that haven’t been processed, and you’ll start to see changes in your body and energy levels in a matter of days. Get rid of the processed foods and you won’t be tired anymore!

    I strongly believe nutrition is the MOST important factor in fat loss and in health. If you’re eating processed foods, trans-fats, and too many calories, you won’t get maximum benefits from your exercise program, no matter what you are doing. Nutrition can either heal you or kill you, so choose wisely. Fortunately, the right choices are the simple choices.

    I’ve had clients that switched to whole, natural foods and almost overnight they’ve reported changes in their bodies and huge increases in mental energy. So stick with the simple nutrition approach for fat burning.
