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 …

Aug 12th
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetrainingforabs.com This is Workout C from the TT AAA Abs program. We’ve already gone through 2 intense workouts, but we’re going to finish off with a total body circuit called the X9 Factor. Start with kettlebell swings. These are 2-hand swings and you need to power up with the hips. Drive them back and power them back up. Move immediately into extended pushups. Move your arms out in front of you as you lower yourself down and back up. The next exercise is a stability ball pike. This is a more advanced version of the stability ball jackknife. Place your feet on the ball and your hands on the floor and pull the ball in as you push your hips up until you are in a pike position. Try to get your hips as high up as possible. If you are not very flexible, just do jackknifes in place of them. Move immediately into stability ball back extensions. Plant your feet against a wall or something stable. Your chest is supported by the ball. Placeyour hands behind your head and raise yourself up and back down. Next is a 1-arm kettlebell swing. Make sure you are driving back with your hips and back up. If you are more advanced, you can do snatches in place of the swings. Do all reps on one side and then do all reps on the other side. Next you will do high rep close grip pushups. Tuck your elbows into your sides with your hands closer together as you move down and back up. Do as many as you can. Move immediately into stability ball leg curls …
Stability Ball Circuit for Abs and Legs
Aug 8th
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com You’re probably thinking two workouts per week at only 20 minutes are not enough to lose fat. To be honest, however, if you combine a great diet with those two workouts, then you’ll experience incredible changes. But, if you want to do a little more then you can do my favourite stability ball circuit on your off days. This is an excellent way to strengthen your abdominals as well as your hamstrings in a way that is hard to replicate with barbell and dumbbell exercises. This 10-15 minute circuit will be six exercises added on at the end of a Depletion workout or you can use it as a third workout and include intervals at the end. For the circuit, you will complete each exercise with no rest in between. Once you have completed a circuit, rest one minute and then repeat two to three times. For the stability ball circuit you will alternate between ab exercises and lowerback exercises. To start, you will do the stability ball ab rollout. What you want to do is place your knees on a mat, your hands on top of the ball, and then roll out and back in. Now, there are many different ways to do this exercise. For instance, you can roll out and back in quickly or you can go really slow on the way out and quick on the way back in. The important thing is to mix it up every time you work out. Also, be sure to keep your abs braced and your body in a straight line throughout the exercise. After the rollout exercise, you will do …
Advanced 15 Minute Express Workout A
Jul 29th
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 …
Advanced 15 Minute Express Workout C
Jun 24th
CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT!www.turbulencetraining.com This is workout C from the Advanced TT 15 Minute Express Workout. We’re going to do all strength training exercises in this circuit and it will only take you about 3 to 3-1 minutes to get through it. You should be able to get it done about 4 or 5 times during the 15 minutes. Start out with a dumbbell split squat starting out with 30 seconds on one leg and then switch to other side. Move immediately into a dumbbell chest press (you’ll probably use a heavier weight than you did with the split squats). Press up and in and then down and out. You’ll probably get in about 10-12 reps for this. Start out more conservatively with these and use a weight you can do about 12 times because you will definitely tire out as you go along. Next, you will do 30 seconds of chin-ups with an underhanded grip. Move immediately into 30 seconds of stability ball jackknives with your feet on the ball, elbows on a bench and your body in a straight line. Tuckyour knees into your chest and back out. Finish with 30 seconds of dumbbell Romanian deadlifts. You can probably use the same weights you used for the chest press. Push your hips back, chest is out in a proud posture and stretch your hamstrings. Make sure you have your timer that goes off every 30 seconds to move you to the next exercise. Be conservative the first time through this circuit, take it easy and work your way up and then to really hard for the last 3 or 4 circuits and then you …
