Abdominal Exercises with TT AAA Abs Workout A


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

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 – TT Meatheads IV: Get Lean and Jacked Workout B


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

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

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
