CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetrainingforabs.com Now that you are warmed up, you’re going to start this workout with a tri-set or a mini circuit. Move right into the maximum number of underhanded grip chin-ups in perfect form. With your palms facing toward you and your hands about shoulder width apart or slightly wider, pull yourself up so your chin is over the bar. Pull up and slowly back down. If you can’t do chin-ups, you can substitute these with underhand inverted rows or you can skip this one. For inverted rows, set your bar up and grip the bar with your palms facing back. Row your chest up to the bar and back down. Do the maximum amount of reps. Without rest, move immediately into push-ups. Again, you’ll do the maximum number of push-ups as you can for this. When you do these, you’ll probably only going to be able to do about 60-70% of your normal maximum push up number. Move immediately into dumbbell forward lunges, alternating sides. You can either do these in the same place or do walking lunges. Rest 1 minute and repeat this circuit 1 more time. This is a little bit of competition for your grip, so you won’t have great results in the second round, but after you’ve done this workout for a couple of weeks, you will see improvement with your performance with the second round, especially in the number of push-ups after doing the chin-ups. In the next superset you will start with dumbbell step-ups. Put one foot up onto a bench and pull yourself up by …
Upper Body and Abs Workout

CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout!! www.turbulencetraining.com The thought of having to do an additional 20-30 minutes of abdominal work after a regular workout can sometimes be enough for you to skip the ab training altogether. But, with these six upper body exercises, you’ll gain all the benefits and more of a regular ab workout, without the extra time. This 15-minute upper body workout will not only build your arms, your chest, and your back, but every one of these exercises is also going to work your abdominals. So this workout will include as I mentioned 6 exercises, but they will be broken down into 3 supersets at 5 minutes each. So, the first superset will pair chin-ups with spiderman pushups. Now, just because these aren’t specific abdominal exercises don’t think your abs will walk away unscathed. I remember training a client before and a couple of days after doing the chinup exercise she commented how shocked she was that her abs were so sore. So, with proper form, the chin-up exercise can very powerfully target your abs. For proper form, begin in the dead hang position. Now, keeping your body tight, brace your abs and pull your body up and chin over the bar, then in a controlled fashion, lower your body down. You will noticeably feel this exercise working your lats and your biceps. Perform enough repetitions that take you until one short of failure. For example, if you can do 15 repetitions, then only do 14 and so on. After the chin-up exercise, you will move into …
Bodyweight Intervals

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Cardio sucks. Its lame, its boring, and it doesnt even give you very good results for all that time you spend on it. On the other hand, bodyweight interval training is fun, fast and effective. In fact, Im going to show you some bodyweight intervals where you don’t need any equipment at all. Youre going to do squats, pushups, and even abdominal exercises. Actually, I lied, I do use one piece of equipment, and its this handy, dandy little interval timer. You can get one online, and it will revolutionize your workouts. Seriously, you wont have to watch the clock anymore during your fat burning interval training workouts because you can set this little timer to beep when you are done. Very cool! But lets get back to the bodyweight interval training workouts and why they are better than cardio. First of all, research shows that even if you do one hour of cardio six days per week, you might only lose six pounds in a year! That means youll do 300 hours of cardio exercise to lose six pounds of bodyweight. In other words, it will take you 50 hours just to lose one pound! Thats ridiculous. And in another study, research found that 20 minutes of interval training helped women burn belly fat faster than long, slow cardio workouts that were 40 minutes long. However, most folks dont have interval training equipment at home, and thats why I want to show you these easy bodyweight interval training workouts. I know that if you can …
BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES – PLANK and BIRD DOG
13
CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today you will learn of three basic exercises that will help your abdominal endurance and low back health. These exercises are the plank, the side plank, and the bird dog exercise. Now, I want to be honest and say that these three abdominal exercises are not the most exciting to do. They won’t give you that classic burning sensation in your abs that leaves you feeling like you’ve really worked them hard. However, these three are the safest and probably the most important to do when first starting to work out to prevent you from low back injury. Dr. Stuart McGill, a researcher in Canada, has done extensive research on low back pain and has concluded that individuals who have a lot of endurance in their abdominals tend to have less chance of sustaining an injury to the low back. The great thing about each of these three exercises is because no equipment is required you can do them in your own home. Also, because these are endurance exercises, you can do them every day. So, the first exercise is the Plank. To do this, rest your elbows on a mat, and place your body in a straight line. Brace your abs and try to work up to where you can hold that position for 2-3 minutes straight. If right now, you can only do the plank for 20 seconds, then each day try to add a couple seconds. Alternatively, you can hold for 10 seconds, rest for 1 second and do that 6-7 times. The next exercise is the Side Plank. This time, position …
