Fat Loss Workouts with TT Hot Zone Workout Warmup
1
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com This is the August 2008 Hot Zone Workout. The 4 hot zones of the body are the pressing muscles and the chest, the torso area, the back of the legs and the upper back area. If you train and exercise for one of those areas, everything else will get trained and boost your metabolism. Those are the 4 hot zone areas were going to be going after in each workout (A, B & C) and even the warmup workout. This is the bodyweight warmup for the Hot Zone Workout. We’re going to start with 4 exercises and make sure we hit the chest, abdominals, the back of the legs and the upper back. Start with a Y-Squat. Put your hands up in the Y position and keep your shoulder blades back. This will work the upper back and the back of the legs. Next is elevated pushups which will work the upper chest and abdominals. Place one hand on a dumbbell or something about 4-6 inches off the floor. Doall reps on one side and then switch to the other side. 1-Leg Romanian Deadlifts are next. This is one of my favourite exercises to really get my hamstrings warmed up for squats. Stand on one leg, keeping a slight bend to it. Push the other leg straight back and feel a nice strong stretch in your hamstring and come back up. You will also use your glute when you come back up. You can use the wall for balance if you need to. Do 8-10 reps on each side. Your next warmup exercise is a Stick-Up. Keep your heels about 6-inches from the wall and press your back …
Hardcore Workout C

CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.comVisit Turbulence Training to get your FREE sample fat burning workout. Click here to get started www.TurbulenceTraining.com This is TT Hardcore Workout C. This metabolic resistance circuit that we start with is one of my favorites I’ve ever put together. This will challenge you in so many different ways. Start with a depth jump. Elevate yourself a little less than a foot or even less than that. If you are not ready for the jump, you can do regular jumps or bodyweight squats. However, if you are only able to do bodyweight squats, you are probably in the wrong workout. It’s very advanced. Make sure you do not preform this on concrete floors. Step off with one foot and right into a squat and immediately jump straight up and land soft with your hips back to absorb the force of the jump with your muscles. You will do 6 reps. Move to a deadlift. You will hold for a 2 second pause at the bottom of each repetition. Move the bar right up against your shins, use an overhand grip, press your hips back while arching your lower back. Pull up and slowly lower down for 3 seconds, pausing for 1 count. Reset, arch your back and pull up. Do 8 reps. Move immediately into pushups. You will be doing 50% of your maximum number (if you can do 60, you will only do 30). Lower down, keeping your abs braced and holding your body in a straight line and drive back up. Finish with a Turkish get-up with a kettlebell. Lie down, bring the weight up …
Gauntlet Workout C
2
CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.com This is the TT Gauntlet Workout C. This is the 5, 10, 15 program. There are 6 exercises in this workout. What you are going to do is go through 5 circuits of this program. The first time through, you are going to do 5 repetitions per exercise, the second time through will be 10 repetitions and the third time will be 15 repetitions. Next, you’ll go back to 10 repetitions and then finally, 5 repetitions. This is called a ladder pyramid style. The first exercise is a kettlebell snatch. You will start out doing 5 reps per side the first time through. In week 1, I recommend you only go through 5, 10 & 15 or even just 5 & 10. Always give yourself a nice easy workout in the first week of any program because you don’t want to be too sore. Swing the kettlebell back, drive up and punch. Switch hands and do 5 on the other side. Once you are done with those, move right into 5 vertical jumps. Hands are either in a prisoner hold, down at your sides or straight up. Next, move into T-pushups (5 on each side) alternating sides. You always want to do a warmup before you start, but the 5 reps is a good warmup in itself. We’re going to hit the upper body some more with regular chin-ups with an underhand grip. If you are in the 15 rep round and you can’t do them straight, you might just do them in chunks until you are at 15. Next move into prisoner forward lunges. Putyour hands up behind your head, step forward and drive back up. You …
15 Minute Express Workout A

www.turbulencetraining.comVisit Turbulence Training to get your FREE sample fat burning workout. Click here to get started www.TurbulenceTraining.com Welcome to the TT Express workouts. These workouts are designed to give you the maximum results in the minimum amount of time. You will be doing the interval and strength training as well as a warm-up in these 15-minute circuits. You will go through as many of these circuits as you can in 15 minutes. You will want to set up a timer or use your watch to time your exercises for 30 seconds. If the exercise requires you to do one side, you will do 30 seconds on that side and then another 30 seconds on the other side. Start out with lying on the ground doing 30 seconds of stability ball leg curls. Lie down on the mat with your heels on the ball. Bridge your hips up and use your hamstrings to curl the ball in and out. Make sure when you curl in, your hips stay up and you maintain that bridge. Move into 30 seconds of kneeling pushups. If you are strong enough to do regular pushups, that is ok. Keep your body in a straight line as you lower down and drive back up. Keep it controlled on the way down and drive back up. Your abs will be braced and you will work your triceps, shoulders and chest to push up. The next exercises are great for mobility of the upper back called “W’s” and “T’s”. Rest the ball just under the chest. For the “W’s”, put your arms out in front of you as you pull your shoulder blades apart. Squeeze them back …
