7-Day Fat Loss Guide: Workout of the Week

Back from holidays? Added a few pounds during your vacation?

Don't worry, they'll come off just as fast as they went on once you get back on the Turbulence Training lifestyle.

Now more tips from your weekly 7-day guide to success...

Monday
Do your regularly scheduled TT workout. Add an ab exercise to each superset, so that your workout might go like this:

1A) DB Chest Press (8 reps)
1B) DB Row (8 reps)
1C) Mountain Climber (20 reps)

Tuesday

30 minutes of activity. If you are lucky enough to own your own home gym, some dumbells, and a kettlebell, you should be hitting the Workout of the Month


Wednesday
TT workout. Add a set of pushups to your workout today. After your strength training, but before your intervals, do as many pushups as you can. Just 1 set.

If you can do 30 regular pushups or more, and want a new challenge, then use one of the following variations:

- Spiderman Pushup
- Decline Pushup
- Elevated Pushup


Thursday
30 minutes of activity. Got a pool? Try a workout in the pool... Here's my pool workout


Friday
TT workout.

Take your intervals outside in the evening when it is cool. You can mix up hill runs with bodyweight squats and ab work. Sweat, enjoy the outdoors, and finish off the week with a nice workout. Then take the weekend off from work and re-charge your batteries.

Saturday 30 minutes of activity, check in with your social support group. Grab a Green Tea and go to a restaurant that will allow you to order a salmon fillet and a nice green summer salad. Trade fat loss secrets with your support group...this might be the best way to keep you on track.

Sunday

Plan, shop, and prepare.


Here's a vegetarian cookbook suggestion:

Try anything put out by the Moosewood Collective, famous for its vegetarian restaurant in Ithaca, NY.


And from Patrick S.,

I'm big into healthy cooking and one of the best books besides PN is The Garden of Eating by Rachel Albert-Matesz and Don Matesz. From Planetary Press.

It's faster to get direct from their website than anywhere else and the authors send emails asking for feedback and are open to direct questions. The recipes are EASILY modified to fit any lifestyle I can think of and I put it right at the top along with PN. The book is very fresh produce oriented.

And from Cathy...

Here is another cookbook recommendation: Ultrafit Cooking - Ultrafast & Ultraeasy Recipes. Available at http://www.ultrafitnutrition.com/. It's great. Not only does it have recipes, it also has workouts you can incorporate into your routine and healthy cooking tips.

So there you go,

P.S. Do you want in the Turbulence Training club?

Do you want a new workout every month? Do you want to go from fat loss to a muscle-building workout next month, but also have a bodyweight workout for when you are on the road?

"Craig, I just wanted to let you know that I've been using
your Turbulence Training System to whip myself back into
shape after a vacation. I've dropped 10.2 lbs. of bodyfat
in the last 28 days. As a fellow fitness professional I can
safely say that it's the best and most efficient approach to
improving body composition that I've come across."

Pat Rigsby

"I love everything about the six-month bodyweight manual.
My clients are challenged and getting stronger and leaner.
I myself am amazed at how strong I've gotten just alternating
bodyweight with interval and dumbbell routines. I can now
do 6 pullups with the lowest assistance bands! Your new
updated manual is very professional and easy to navigate,
too. Keep 'em coming!"
