Bodyweight Workouts with TT BW Cardio 2.0 Workout A


CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com In this workout it’s a 70 rep advanced bodyweight strength circuit. Now I know that 70 reps don’t sound like a lot, but these are actually some of the hardest bodyweight exercises. Also, for these exercises you won’t be going to failure or doing a lot of repetitions, but what you’re going to do is build up strength in each exercise. So, you’ll do a few repetitions per exercise and then move on to the next in circuit fashion. It’s just a different way of exercising. The first time you do this workout, only go through the circuit two times, and then work up with each workout so that eventually you are doing 5 circuits. You’ll find that these workouts go by pretty quickly. Also, you won’t rest between exercises, instead, do all 8 exercises, and then rest a minute, and repeat the circuit. So, after you’ve finished your warm-up, you’ll start with the first exercise, the Tuck Jump. For this exercise, jump up in the air while bringing your knees to your chest. As you land, bend your knees to soften the land and then jump up again. Repeat for 6 repetitions. Immediately move into a One-Legged Squat for 6 repetitions per side. Squat down to parallel and then come back up. Doall reps for one side and then switch legs. From there, you’ll do 3 Pull ups. So, it doesn’t matter how many you can do, only do 3. Once you’ve finished your pull ups, go right into Shoulder Press Push ups. Place your feet on a bench with your hips piked

Lunges


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

Advanced 15 Minute Express Workout A


CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.com This is the TT 15 Minute Express Workout. These are 15 minutes circuits (A, B & C). In each circuit, you will do 30 seconds of each exercise. If you are doing an exercise like dumbbell rows, you would perform 30 seconds on each side. The first circuit will take you about 4-1 minutes to go through all 6 exercises. Then I want you to do that as many as you can in 15 minutes. If you are new to this workout, just go through the circuit 1 or 2 times for the first week. After that, you can go really hard. The first exercise is a dumbbell squat. You will need dumbbells and a bench for this first workout. Hold the dumbells in each hand and squat for 30 seconds. You will work your upper back by holding the weights. Next will be 30 seconds of decline pushups. Put your feet on the bench and lower down for a 2 second count and power back up. Move immediately into dumbbell rows. You will probably use the same weights as you did for the squats. Put one knee and hand on then bench, keeping your back flat, back knee is slightly bent and row up for 30 seconds. Switch sides and do rows for another 30 seconds. Next up are Bulgarian split squats for 30 seconds, but you’ll do these at 1-1/2 reps. Lower down and only come half way up, lower back down and then drive all the way up. Switch legs and do 30 seconds on that side as well. You won’t have much time in between exercises, so move immediately into stability ball rollouts for 30

Best Home Gym Weight Loss Workout – TT Intermediate Workout A


CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com To start off workout A from the Turbulence Training intermediate workout, we will start out with a superset of dumbbell split squats and dumbbell incline chest presses. So, for the split squat you will get in a split stance, which is a slightly exaggerated step. Hold the dumbbells by your sides. However, if you are new to this exercise then you can do the split squat without weights or do it next to a wall or a beam to get some balance. The lead leg in this exercise is going to do all of the work. You will be balanced on the ball of your back foot, and a lot of weight is going to be on the heel of your front leg. So, in a nice proud position, drop straight down, letting your knee drop just above the ground, and then drive through the front leg to come back up. Completeall 8 repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side. You will know if you are using too much weight if your chest is sagged forward and your posture is deviated from what it should be. Moving right into the dumbbell incline chest press, set the incline at about 45 degrees and place the dumbbells at chest height. Press up and in, and then down and out for 8 repetitions. Now rest one minute and then repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 supersets. In the second superset of workout A you are going to do 15 repetitions of two bodyweight exercises, the stability ball leg curl and pushups. For the stability ball leg curl, you want to push your
