CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout!! www.turbulencetraining.com Here is a great bodyweight warm up to start out a workout. You’ll find that this warm-up as a couple more exercises than you may be familiar with in a warm-up, but the goal is to have you better prepared for your actual workout. So to start out, you’ll begin with a Y-Squat. Place your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands up in the Y position. Next, push your hips out, squat down, and then drive up and repeat. Be sure to keep your hands back throughout this exercise. Next is the Push up exercise or Kneeling Push ups if you’re a beginner. From there, you will go against the wall and do the Stick-up exercise. So with your hips, elbows, wrists, shoulders, and head against the wall, lift your shoulders up over head and then back down. This is a great exercise to warm up your upper back and increase your shoulder mobility. Next, is the Mountain Climber exercise. From a push up position, bring one knee up to your chest and back out, alternating sides. Keep your hips low and brace your abs. After that exercise you will follow with the Forward Lunge exercise. Take a step out,drop your hips straight down, and drive up with that lead leg. Alternate sides. Once you have done all reps for the lunge, immediately go into the Waiter’s Bow exercise. This movement is very similar to the Romanian Deadlift or a Goodmorning exercise. So, grab a skin fold from your low back with one hand and place the other across your chest. Next …

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com You will start this workout with a warm up of 3 exercises. The first exercise is a Prisoner Squat. With your feet shoulder width apart, keep your elbows back (your elbows always have to be back for this exercise to be effective) and hips back. Squat down and up. Beginners can do a simple bodyweight squat with your arms straight out in front of you. Do these for 10 Reps. The next warm up exercises are pushups, however, if you are a beginner, do kneeling pushups. The last warm up is a stick up against the wall (shoulder blades together and up against a wall) or inverted rows with a bar. You can also use a rear deltoid raise to warm up the upper back and increase shoulder mobility. Go through this warmup circuit 2 times with 8-15 reps depending on your fitness level. If you are a beginner, do 8 reps or even 5; whatever warms you up, but not too much. Now we’ll move right into the supersets. I havent used these exercises in any TT workouts before this, but they are all variations of exercises I do use. Superset 1 The first exercise in this superset is an Alternating 1-arm dumbbell press. You will not be able to use as much weight as you do for your 2 arm presses. Lie on the bench and press both arms straight up. Hold one arm at the top as you bring the working arm down. Do 6 reps per side. Move immediately into a Deep Step-Up . With regular step ups, you are close to the bench and drive straight up, but with these you …

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com We’re going to do a lot of different things in this workout starting with the first exercise. This isn’t your classic superset format. You will be doing dumbbell forward lunges, performing all reps on one side before switching to the other for all reps on that side. You will do these for 8 reps on each side. Take a minute rest and repeat this set 2 more times for a total of 3 sets. Next, you will move into a barbell squats and back extensions. Barbell back squats are next. Your legs will be a little tired from the last set, so you won’t use your maximum weight for these. With the bar positioned at chest height, step underneath it with a relatively close grip (unless you have shoulder mobility problems). Take the bar off the rack and step back with a medium stance with feet slightly wider than your shoulders. Keep your chest up, head forward and up and drop your hips down and back, then drive back up. For Back Extensions, lie down on the ball with your feet in a shoulder width stance for good support. Positionyour hands behind your head and keep your chest up as you raise your body up. You can also use a back extension chair if you have access to one. Rest for 1 minute and repeat that set 2 more times for a total of 3 supersets. Next, you will move into a kettlebell 500 circuit as the interval portion of this program. You will only do 3 exercises, but you will perform 500 total repetitions. First, start with …
NEW Pushup Variations

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today I want to show you 5 unique push ups that will not only allow you to incorporate bodyweight training into your workouts, but will also give you the flexibility to do them at home, while traveling, or at the gym. The great thing about these exercises is they not only train your chest and your abs, but they also work to improve shoulder mobility. So, if you happen to sit at a desk all day, chances are you are immobile in the shoulder region. Therefore, by doing these push ups you will create extra movement in the shoulder blade area, as well as relief from neck and rotator cuff pain. So the 5 push up exercises Im going to show you are spiderman, grasshopper, push up plus, T push up, and the elevated push up. 1) For the spiderman push up you will want to be in the regular push up position. As you go down, bring your knee up to your elbow, and returning you knee back to its original position on your way back up. Alternate sides. 2) When doing the grasshopper, as you go down, your leg will come across your body, and return to its original position as you push up. Alternate sides. 3) For the push up plus, place your hands in a more narrow grip than you would with a regular push up. Go down as normal, and then when you push up, once at the top give a little extra push and feel the stretch in your shoulder blades. So the blades will come together on the way down and then apart at the top, helping to improve your …
