What the heck is Bodyweight Cardio?

It’s a fun fat burning workout program that you can do at the park
or in the comfort of your own home without equipment.

If you’re sick and tired of boring cardio, or if you’ve even had
enough of traditional interval training, these new bodyweight
circuit programs can be used to replace both of those fat burning
workout methods.

You can also replace your entire workout program with the bodyweight
cardio program, because it combines bodyweight strength training
with muscle endurance to give you a complete lean body workout.

After all, it often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the
day. Between work, family, appointments, and unexpected time-zappers,
it’s hard finding time to squeeze in a quality workout.

And it’s even more difficult to workout when it involves navigating
through rush hour traffic, dealing with annoying people and dirty
machines in the gym, and following a program that isn’t making even
the slightest dent in your belly fat.

It’s frustrating, exhausting, and most importantly, wastes your
precious time!

What you need is a fat burning workout that you can do ANYWHERE -
including the park, your backyard or even in a hotel room. With your
busy lifestyle, you need a no-equipment workout that will help you
burn fat as fast as interval training on a treadmill.

Fortunately, I’ve discovered the perfect program…

This no-equipment, anywhere, anytime workout system has already
helped thousands of other men and women to burn fat and sculpt their

Turbulence Training for Fat Loss

Every day I receive an email or Facebook message asking me for the
best cardio program for fat loss.

The answer is a bit complex, so I’m going to cover it all in this
one article.

Now a lot of people make a big mistake with cardio, thinking that
they can eat whatever they want and then just “hit the gym extra
hard on Monday to burn this off.”

I find it ridiculous…because first, it’s not healthy thinking, and
second, it is not accurate thinking.

Seriously, let’s look at this for a second.

Take a look at the meal I had recently at my friend Vince Del
Monte’s wedding.

It began with the post-ceremony celebratory drink, right through to
the anti-pasta buffet, followed by the main dinner (I had eggplant
parmigiana), and then dessert, PLUS the late night sweets spread
(the Del Montes know how to host a party!) would EASILY result in
over 2400 calories.

And how long would it take you to burn that many calories doing your
average cardio workout?

You’d need to do cardio for just a little less time than it would
take you to run a marathon.

So 3 hours for the fittest TT readers, 4-5 hours for the average TT
reader, and more than 6-8 hours for beginner TT readers.

Does that sound like a “regular cardio session” to you?

Heck no!

So FORGET the “I’m going to burn off this big meal with cardio”
mentality.

It’s WRONG thinking.

Plus, as I’ve mentioned time and time again, research shows that
regular cardio doesn’t really help with fat loss.

1) One study showed interval training was better than cardio at
burning belly fat (and cut the workout time in half).

2) A second study found that 300 hours of cardio per year helped
men lose only 6 pounds (and women lost only 4 pounds). So that’s
about 50 hours of cardio per pound of weight lost – at BEST!

(Obesity 15:1496-1512 (2007). Exercise Effect on Weight and Body Fat
in Men and Women. Anne McTiernan*, et al.)

3) A third study found SOME folks start eating MORE when they start
a cardio program. These folks end up gaining weight on aerobics.

(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).

So if long, slow, boring cardio doesn’t work, what’s left for to
burn fat?

Well first, I will acknowledge that high-intensity cardio seems to
work better. In one study, subjects who burned 400 calories doing
high-intensity cardio ended up losing fat while subjects who did
only low-intensity cardio did not lose ANY fat at all!

(Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2008 Oct 8. Effect of Exercise Training
Intensity on Abdominal Visceral Fat and Body Composition.)

But the best way, the fastest way, and the most enjoyable way to
burn fat is with interval training.

And soon I’ll be revealing over 31 different interval training
methods for fat loss. And it won’t just be sprinting on a treadmill
for 1 minute straight. Trust me, there are a lot of unique ways to
burn fat with interval training.

In the meantime, FORGET about slow, boring cardio. It is a
generally a big waste of time for fat loss. Sure, it’s good for
running marathons, but not for busy people who only have 2-3 hours
per week to burn fat.

More interval training secrets coming soon!

Stay strong,

While the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic exercise is a great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users know that interval training is the better way to burn body fat.

Still not convinced?

A recent study published by the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60 minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days per week for an entire year.

Given the amount of exercise, you’d expect weight losses of 20, 30 pounds, or more, right?

Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female subjects was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6 pounds of fat over the year. That’s over 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a measly 6 pounds of blubber. Not time well spent, in my opinion.

So what’s the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using interval training and strength training to get better bodysculpting results. With intervals, you’ll achieve more fat burning results in less workout time.

The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline that can challenge you for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.

If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the normal pace for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.

You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary bike, or even an elliptical machine to do intervals.

But whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio exercise workouts and stick with Turbulence Training for your fat burning program.

Recently, I was in Tampa, Florida, at a seminar. Between sessions, a physician from Georgia stopped me in the hall and said, “Hey Craig, you were right about those crosstrainer machines. I’ve had your program for a few months now and I’m getting better results with the bodyweight circuits.”

It’s always great to meet clients, and I was curious to find out how he heard of me. Turns out, he found me through Google, landing on an article I wrote about “how elliptical machines (crosstrainers) suck for fat loss”.

That’s right, I think those machines are almost a complete waste of time.

“I was using one of those machines for a long time and was wondering why I wasn’t getting any results,” the physician continued, “I’m so glad I found your program and now I’m using the bodyweight circuits from the Dumbell-Bodyweight Fusion Workout”, he added.

I told him how I wasn’t surprised. In fact, I’ve never personally known anyone to get great results with one of those crosstrainer machines. Now I’ve watched really lean people use them, but they didn’t get lean with those machines.

I know some people will be angry with what I have to say because they like exercising on the crosstrainer, but the truth is that they just don’t work as well as harder forms of interval training.

And hey, any time you are traveling or want a break from regular interval training workouts, you can use one of the 4 bodyweight circuits from the TT DB-BW Fusion Fat Loss program that you get as a bonus when you order the Turbulence Training fat burning workout routine.
