4


CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com This particular Medicine Ball workout will focus more on strength by taking a number of exercises and pairing them together in superset fashion. To start, you’ll begin with a series of lateral lunges and a diagonal chop and combine it with a unique pressing exercise. For the lunges, bring the medicine ball up over your left shoulder, take a lateral lunge out, and chop down with the ball to your opposite foot, making sure to get nice and low. Doall repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side. Immediately following all your repetitions for the diagonal lunges, get into the bottom squat position, and with the ball in one hand, press it up overhead. This exercise is similar to the stick-up exercise in that your arm isn’t going to have as much mobility as you want. Perform all repetitions for one side and then arms. Once you’ve finished all the repetitions, take one minute to rest and then repeat the superset two more times. Next, you will perform the one-legged squat. Place the medicine ball out in front of you, bringing one foot out as well. Now, squat down on one leg and then back up. Do all repetitions for one leg and then switch legs. Immediately following the one-legged squat, you will then move into the elevated push up exercise. So, get into a push up position, but now, place one hand on the ball, and then perform a regular push up. Once you have done all repetitions for one arm, switch the ball

Total Body 300 Circuit Workout

2


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

Lunges

25


CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today you’re going to discover how to do lunges, but first, lets look at a big pet-peeve of mine in terms of program design. The thing that bugs me is that trainers tell everyone to do lunges, but most people have terrible form. So overall, I’d say lunges are the most over-rated exercise in your program. You need to learn how to do them correctly, so today you’ll also get a good lesson on lower body training. So, we will look at split squats and lunges. Specifically, when to use them, what to start with, and how to progress. A pet peeve of mine is seeing trainers take beginners through a series of lunges when really they should have no business doing lunges in the first place. A lunge is a very difficult exercise that requires not only a lot of coordination, but a good deal of lower body strength as well, both of which beginners or overweight individuals tend to lack. On top of that, many overweight individuals have knee problems so performing lunges only intensifies the pain. So when I see trainers taking these individuals through a series of lunges along with giving them weights before they can even perform the exercise properly you can imagine how irked I get. Instead of lunges, what I like to do is have people start with split squats. A split squat is really just a stationary lunge. So to get in position; place one leg in front and one behind,drop your hips straight down and then drive back up. The great thing

weightprofit.net Since you’re only working out twice a week with the Depletion workout, you need to be working as hard as you can. So, in workout A, you are going to do a series of 30 second exercises with no rest in between for a period of 20 minutes in total. To start, you’ll do Kettlebell One Arm Swings. Bring the KB back between your legs and drive through your hips to bring the KB up to shoulder height. After 30 seconds switch over to the other arm and repeat for an additional 30 seconds. Immediately following the swings, go to the ground and do either regular Push ups, Close-Grip push-ups or any other variation you choose, but you have to do it for 30 seconds. Once you’ve gone for 30 seconds you’ll move into Bodyweight Squats. With your back flat and chest up, move your hips back and squat down. Again this exercise is for 30 seconds. After the squats, you’re back down to the ground for 30 seconds of Mountain Climbers. Note, this is 30 seconds total, and not per side. So, in a regular push up position, bring you knee up to your chest and then back out, alternating sides. The next exercise is Front Loaded Lunges. This can either be done using a dumbbell or a kettlebell. So, place the DB/KB in front of you and lunge forward. Be sure to drop your hips down, and drive up on your front heel, while alternating sides. Alternatively, you can do bodyweight lunges or the Lunge Jump. Once you’ve finished your lunges, without rest, start right from the top again and keep on

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com There are four weekend challenges as part of the Bodyweight 500 workout program. Each week you will do a Bodyweight challenge and if you finish under the allotted time, then you graduate into the next week’s challenge. This video will outline the Bodyweight 100 challenge. To start, you will perform 20 prisoner squats, maintaining good form by keeping your elbows back and shoulders blades together. Immediately following the squats, go directly into 20 push ups. If you cannot do 20 repetitions straight, then you can break it up however you desire, or do as many as you can and take a rest. Next, you will do 10 jumps. After the jumps, you will complete 10 repetitions of the inverted row, using an overhand grip. Then immediately go into 20 lunges, alternating sides. Once you’ve done all the repetitions for the lunges, move on to 15 closed- grip push-ups. For this exercise you want to place your hands shoulder- width apart and your elbows tucked into your sides. Again, if you can’t do 15 in a row, then you might do 5, then 5, then 5. To finish off you will do either 5 chin-ups or 5 more inverted rows for a total of 100 repetitions. Now if you don’t make the cut-off time for the Bodyweight 100, then you will repeat this challenge the following week. However, if you do manage to beat the time, then the next week you will move up to the Bodyweight 200.Visit Turbulence Training to get your FREE sample fat burning workout
