WARMUP FOR 30 MINUTE CIRCUIT CHALLENGE


CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com This is a great warmup for the bodyweight 30-minute challenge workout. Do each of these exercises with no rest in between, rest one minute and then repeat one more time. So, to start you’ll do a Prisoner Squat. To get in position, place your feet wider than shoulder width-apart and your hands behind your head with your elbows back. Next, squat down while pushing your hips back. Tip if you’re really tight or inflexible then don’t use as wide of a stance as that can really stretch your groin. Next up is the Offset Pushup. This is a regular pushup, however, one hand is in front of the other. So, do all reps for one side, and then switch over to the other side. From there you will go up against a wall to perform the Stick-up exercise. With your feet six inches in front of the wall and your butt, shoulder blades, elbows, wrists and head against the wall, raise your arms up overhead and then bring them back down into your sides and repeat. The more you sit at a desk or in a car with bad posture, the more difficult this exercise is going to be. Immediately from there, go into the Cross-Crawl Exercise. This is just a standing abdominal movement, but also involves coordination. So, start with your hands up overhead, and then bring your opposite arm and knee together, alternating sides. Once you’ve done all your reps, you’ll then go into Reverse Lunges. So, step back and then drop your hips straight down. Do about five

Gain Muscle and Lose Fat with TT 2K9 Fusion Workout B


CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com This is workout B from the TT 2K9 Fusion fat loss program and is also the updated version of the popular 2006 Fusion fat loss program. To get started, the first exercise in the first superset will require that you know how to do it with proper form. If not, then you can simply substitute it with an alternative. With that being said, the first exercise is a Hang Clean or a Barbell Shrug paired with the Dumbbell Chest Presses. For the Hang Clean, grab the barbell and let it hang in front of you while in an upright position with knees slightly bent. Dip down, and then drive up with the barbell so that it is now at shoulder height. You will either know how to do this exercise or you won’t. Whatever you do, please do not use this video as a tool to learn the proper form. Instead, ask a qualified trainer for instruction before attempting the Hang Clean. If you need to substitute the Hang Cleans then you can do Barbell Shrugs. So, with the barbell hanging in front, lean forward slightly and then shrug your shoulders straight up. Make sure not to roll your shoulders during this exercise. After you’ve completed either of those exercises, grab a pair of dumbbells and with your back flat on the bench, press the dumbbells up and in, and then down and out. Tuck your elbows in slightly during this exercise. For the second superset of the Fusion fat loss workout, you will pair dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts with Spiderman Push ups

Total Body 300 Circuit Workout


CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today, you are going to do a powerful, total body circuit training workout where you complete 10 exercises, doing 10 repetitions for each. Go through this circuit three times, so you’ll end up doing 300 repetitions in all. Now the first exercise in this circuit is the Bulgarian Split Squat. To get in position, place one foot up on a bench behind you,drop your hips straight down, and drive up using your lead leg. Do all 10 reps for one side, and then switch to the other. From this exercise, immediately go to the ground for 10 Close-Grip Push ups. Place your hands shoulder-width apart and as you go down, tuck your elbows into your sides and then power up and repeat. Although this may appear easy to start out, because you will be completing all these exercises with no rest, it will get increasingly difficult, trust me! The next exercise in this bodyweight circuit is Lunges. So lunge forward, drop your hips straight down and using only your lead leg, drive back up. Alternate sides. If you want to make this workout a little more challenging, then feel free to use a set of dumbbells during this exercise and for the split squats. These are just the basics so that you can do this workout at home. Once you’ve finished the lunges go directly into bodyweight Inverted Rows. So, with the bar at hip height and an overhand grip that is slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, row your chest up to the bar. Be sure to squeeze

Abdominal Workout with TT AAA Abs Workout C


CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetrainingforabs.com This is Workout C from the TT AAA Abs program. We’ve already gone through 2 intense workouts, but we’re going to finish off with a total body circuit called the X9 Factor. Start with kettlebell swings. These are 2-hand swings and you need to power up with the hips. Drive them back and power them back up. Move immediately into extended pushups. Move your arms out in front of you as you lower yourself down and back up. The next exercise is a stability ball pike. This is a more advanced version of the stability ball jackknife. Place your feet on the ball and your hands on the floor and pull the ball in as you push your hips up until you are in a pike position. Try to get your hips as high up as possible. If you are not very flexible, just do jackknifes in place of them. Move immediately into stability ball back extensions. Plant your feet against a wall or something stable. Your chest is supported by the ball. Placeyour hands behind your head and raise yourself up and back down. Next is a 1-arm kettlebell swing. Make sure you are driving back with your hips and back up. If you are more advanced, you can do snatches in place of the swings. Do all reps on one side and then do all reps on the other side. Next you will do high rep close grip pushups. Tuck your elbows into your sides with your hands closer together as you move down and back up. Do as many as you can. Move immediately into stability ball leg curls

Gauntlet Workout A


CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.com This is TT Gauntlet Workout A. We are going to pair exercises together, but you will do one of the exercises twice. I’m doing this because the definition of a gauntlet is running through a column and being beaten. You will have column A exercises, move to column B exercise and then back to A. The first is a shuttle sprint for 20 seconds. Move immediately into 25 reps of prisoner squats with your hands interlaced behind your head with your elbows back. Move immediately back into shuttle sprints for 20 seconds. For you second pairing, you are going to do pull-ups, pushups and then pull-ups. You are going to do 80% of your maximum repetitions (you don’t want to go to failure). For example, if you can only do 10 pull-ups, you will do 8 pull-ups. If you can do 40 pushups, do 32 and then go back and do 8 pull-ups. For the pull-up, place your hands in an overhand grip with themslightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bring your chest up and slowly lower down. Move immediately or with as little rest as possible into regular pushups at 80% of your maximum reps. Go back to pull-ups and repeat the number you did before the pushups (80%). The next exercise pairing, you will do a 1-leg bench squat. Start by standing on the bench and drop your foot off to the side and then back up. This will really get your glute. You can also do a 1-leg squat by lowering onto a bench and then back up. Do 10 reps on one side and then switch to
