If you're looking for a way to burn fat, get fit, and lose weight, then you've come to the right place. Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training is just the workout program to help you accomplish quick fat loss with a minimum expenditure of time, all the while sculpting a leaner, meaner body.

A Canadian fitness expert who has created nothing less than one of the most effective training programs for helping your body burn unwanted fat while gaining lean muscle. Craig's program is the perfect complement to any weight loss program or diet because it combines short burst workouts that are not only easy to do, but you won't need a gym. His exercise regimen can be done in the privacy of your home, if need be, and it won't cost you a lot of time to accomplish.

Craig is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) who has completed a Master’s Degree specializing in Exercise Physiology. But more than that, he has developed one of the most effective exercise programs that will not only help you get rid of stubborn belly fat but help you to keep it off for good. If losing fat, gaining muscle, and getting lean in less than 45 minutes three times a week sounds good to you, then keep reading.

The theory behind Turbulence Training involves creating a state of turmoil for the body whereby it becomes able to achieve maximum effectiveness with regard to losing fat and gaining muscle in the least amount of time necessary. If you are tired of ineffective cardio workouts that waste your time and yield little if any results, then you will freak out the first time you experience more effective results than all your cardio workouts combined in less than three hours a week doing only three sessions per week. Do I have your attention yet?  

The key principle which allows Craig's Turbulence Training to work is interval training. Using one set of workouts for one time interval, you change the workouts for the next time interval. When your body has to adjust to a different exercise routine every so often, its never allowed to rest but stays in a state of turbulence or unrest. You'll do the same set of exercises for four consecutive weeks then switch after that period; the workout routines will change, keeping the body guessing, off balance, and having to adapt to a new series of exercises. This is what was meant by the earlier reference to keeping the body in a state of turmoil.

1. wide squat (hands in air)- 15 reps
2. basic push up- 15 reps
3. basic lunge w/pause- 12 reps each leg
4. decline push ups- 15 reps
5. jumping jacks- 60 reps
6. mountain climbers- 12 each leg
 
You don't rest between exercises, using a one minute rest after you complete all the exercises and then repeat the exercises for three times. If you don't work up a sweat doing this, then you haven't been doing the program correctly. These short burst workouts are designed to achieve maximum efficiency in burning calories using shorter intervals, something that slow cardio exercises won't ever achieve! You'll be able to keep the fat off, increase your speed, agility, and stamina, and get toned more quickly than with any other workout you can do.

When you perform the short but intense set of exercises indicated in the Turbulence Training program, your body will shed fat even while you are inactive. This is due to the fact that strength training is the other core of the program. If you're looking for recommendations for Craig's workouts, personal trainer Jillian Michaels of the television program "The Biggest Loser" has endorsed the Turbulence Training routine in one of their recent episodes. So even other physical trainers recognize the effectiveness of Craig's workouts. There's even a Turbulence Training Fat Loss for Women designed specifically with females in mind. You can't do any better than that: to receive recommendations from other professionals in your field.

Craig's Turbulence Training comes with a 26-week workout routine which can be used over and over again. Nutrition plays a role in this training, and accordingly there is also a chapter in the book that is dedicated to teaching you how to eat right. For best results, you are encouraged to follow a nutrition plan (not a diet), of healthy, delicious, fat burning meals. The one caveat here is: it doesn't provide you with an actual diet plan; you'll have to work that out yourself. But it does give you the tools to design your own diet plan using foods you will enjoy eating.

So, what's the catch? Perhaps the only catch to Turbulence Training is in the fact that you might need to invest in a few barbells and an exercise ball (although you might be able to use something in place of an exercise ball). But considering the effectiveness of the short, intense workouts without needing to invest in a gym membership — any extra investment in equipment that you can use and reuse free of charge is well worth it to be able to perform these workouts in your own home.

Look at it this way: a two month’s supply of some diet pill, which usually won't even work and won't necessarily help you to keep the weight off, will cost you more than entire Turbulence Training program. So, you be the judge. And don't forget to smile in that "after" photograph you take when you can brag about your newfound fat loss and physical fitness. This program has the potential to change your life by empowering you with the information you need to lose weight, get fit, and return your body to peak health.
