Howdy,

If you still have ugly belly fat and flabby trouble spots that you need to firm up before summer, then this is the most important blog post you’re going to read all year.

Another New England winter has flown by (a really snowy one at that my friend), and I’ve been talking to a lot of my male and female subscribers who aren’t happy with the progress they’ve been making in their fat burning programs. And yet summer is only weeks away! - YIKES!!!!

I get lots of e-mails, I chat with folks on the phone, and everyone’s been asking me for the fastest way to…

1) Burn belly fat fast, permanently

5) And get this all done in only a couple of hours per week because their lives are so budy

You see, none of these folks have 90 minutes to spend at the gym each day, like most magazine workouts require and I am sure that you don’t have a ton of time to workout either do you?

But there is a way to lose belly fat and fit back into your old swimsuit, and it doesn’t require you to even go to a gym at all - you can train right at home with minimal (or even NO equipment at all).

I have known very well about a convenient program that will help you lose as much fat as fast as humanly possible with simple workouts that can easily be done in the comfort of your own home, without endless hours of BORING cardio, fancy equipment or expensive supplements.

So let me introduce you to my friend, Craig Ballantyne, who is the inventor of these fast fat burning workouts. He’s been recommended by Men’s Health magazine, Oxygen magazine, and even by Jillian Michaels, the Personal Trainer from the Biggest Loser TV Show…

Not only is Craig one of the top experts on short fat loss workouts, and a celebrity trainer featured on the Men’s Health website, but it’s also his BIRTHDAY this month.

And to celebrate he’s giving away an outrageous amount of fat burning bonus workouts and meal plans to help you lose your belly fat and fit into smaller clothes before swimsuit season.

C’mon, don’t you deserve better results than what you’ve been getting with slow cardio workouts?

Craig’s Turbulence Training workouts have helped tens of thousands of men and women escape the prison of long workouts, crowded gyms, and more importantly, the shackles of unwanted, ugly body fat.

For years, Craig worked with men and women who had tried everything, including 90-minute workouts everyday and in some cases up to SEVEN hours of cardio per week, only to be left in frustration and near tears because these workouts just weren’t burning fat.

But Craig knew there was a better way.

So he packaged his years of research and over 11 years of hands-on training experience into Turbulence Training, a routine that you can do at home, in only 45 minutes, 3 times per week, sparing you more time to live life and spend with your family and friends.

And as I mentioned, Craig turns 33 this month, but he’s the one giving away the gifts. In fact, he’s giving us over $537 of fat burning workout bonuses and meal plans to help every busy man and woman burn belly fat fast.

But these 10 bonuses will only be available for the next THREE days.

After Wednesday, May 7th, at 11:59pm, you won’t be able to get all of these bonuses together again.

Now you’ve probably heard me talk about the Turbulence Training workouts before. In fact, I use them and I love them. They are so fast and let me exercise at home if I need to, so I can free up at least an extra hour in my day.

Plus, I’ve compared the results to long, slow boring cardio workouts, and Turbulence Training wins hands down.

In fact, the 1st-ever Turbulence Training Transformation Contest just finished, where the Grand Prize winner of $2000 lost 15.5 pounds of fat and 4 inches of her belly fat in only 12 weeks - and she didn’t do long cardio workouts!

Plus, the second place finisher lost over 33 pounds of fat and 7.5 inches from his gut in only 84 days. Again, all without cardio.

And there were dozens of other success stories. In fact, it was so successful that there’s another Turbulence Training Transformation Contest going on right now, and you can join to win up to $2000 just by losing your belly fat and changing your body.

It’s a “lose to win-win” situation. All you need to do is get started with the Turbulence Training workouts today.

And I truly believe that the Turbulence Training workouts are the most efficient and effective fat burning programs available.

After all, if these workouts weren’t the best, would the biggest fitness magazine in the world, Men’s Health, feature Turbulence Training workouts on the Men’s Health website?

Of course not, they have too much to lose. It’s also no surprise to me that Jillian Michaels recommended Craig Ballantyne and Turbulence Training to the listeners of her radio show this past January.

(You can hear what she had to say when you visit Craig’s site.)

With Turbulence Training, you have nothing to lose (except for fat!) and everything to gain (including more time for yourself, rather than spending your time indoors in your home gym in the basement or at a crowded, stinky, overpriced commercial gym).

Not only are the Turbulence Training workouts proven by both research and experience, but you also have a hundred percent satisfaction guarantee that you’ll love the workouts. Or just return the program for your money back.

Now let me tell you more about the Turbulence Training workouts.

First of all, they can easily be done at home with a bench, an exercise ball, and dumbells (plus, a chin-up bar is also helpful if you are strong enough for bodyweight rows, chinups, and pullups).

Second, Turbulence Training features dozens of bodyweight-only exercises to burn your belly fat.

Third, thousands of men AND women (yes, women too!) have used the Turbulence Training workouts to burn fat in a very short amount of time and without long, slow boring cardio.

Craig has PROVEN time and time-again that you don’t need to be at the gym everyday for 90 minutes.

In fact, the Turbulence Training workouts will only take 45 minutes, three days per week, and you can do everything at home.

No need for fancy, expensive gym memberships, or long commutes to an annoying “mega-club” where you have to compete for equipment (or worse, wait for a machine covered in the nasty sweat of the hairy powerlifter that used it just before you).

Turbulence Training is as straight-forward as any fat loss program could be.

You’ll get the workouts done fast, avoiding useless exercises or any waiting around twiddling your thumbs.

Craig has cut the fluff so that you are using ONLY the best exercises that give the most results in the least amount of time.

That’s why you burn more fat in less workout time. It’s perfect!

If you’ve ever struggled to figure out what to do for your fat loss program, then worry no more. Turbulence Training spells it out, workout by workout, exercise by exercise, set by set, and rep by rep, for a full 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts.

Turbulence Training also includes 10 weeks of workouts for the absolute beginner to help any newcomer, no matter what your situation, get started on the best fat loss plan.

Remember, Craig has used this program with hundreds of clients in person, including many men and women who were beginning their fat loss journey at over 200 or even 300 pounds. It worked for them and it will work for you.

Craig’s program also gives you dozens of weeks of bonus workouts that help you take your lean body to the next level of definition.

(Not too mention all the cool new ab workout bonuses and the fat blasting Kettlebell workout you can get in the Birthday Bonuses available until Wednesday night.)

So while your New Year’s resolutions might have fizzled out long ago, and you didn’t lose the holiday pounds like you thought you would, you still have time to make dramatic changes in your body before beach season officially starts next month.

All of of your fat loss problems and body’s troublespots will be fixed by the Turbulence Training program.

And you owe it to yourself to get Turbulence Training because you deserve a program that gets you results fast, not a program that makes you spend an hour on the treadmill each day while summer passes you by…You don’t need to live in the gym to look great!

With all of the beginner workouts, regular TT bonuses, 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts, AND these 10 limited-time bonuses, you will have all the info you need to burn fat fast - and permanently.

The body you’ve wanted for so long can be yours, and in less time than you’ve ever thought necessary.

Get ready to experience a new body thanks to all the inches you’ll lose, the pounds you’ll shed, and the energy you’ll gain in the next few days with the Turbulence Training fat loss program.

So let’s get back to Craig’s Birthday Celebration Giveaway, and the gifts that he’s offering up for you…

Craig’s put together the ultimate Turbulence Training package that contains not only the regular beginner and advanced workouts (and regular bonuses), but also an extra 10 new “Birthday Celebration” bonuses that are available only for the next three days, including:

1) Meal Plans for Men & Women by Dr. Chris Mohr and Jayson Hunter (Value $97)

10) A 6-Month Basic Level Membership to the Turbulence Training Discussion Forums & Other Exclusive Fat Loss Info (Value $119.70)

Have your #1 fat loss questions answered by Men’s Health magazine expert, Craig Ballantyne. You’ll also learn insider secrets from other Turbulence Training success stories, and benefit from the #1 factor overlooked in fat loss programs today, “the power of Social Support” - it really is the secret to your success.

But this entire package is only available for less than 72 hours. On Wednesday, May 7th, at 11:59pm, the 10 new bonuses will disappear from the offer, quite possibly never to be given away again.

If you don’t pick-up this incredible collection of fat loss bonuses today, you’ll kick yourself for missing out. This is the kind of information that can take you from a fat loss plateau to a brand new body in just days.

And don’t forget to meet the winners of the 1st-ever Turbulence Training Transformation Contest on Craig’s website, including…

“Emily Johnson Who Fit Back Into Her Skinny Jeans by Losing 15.5 Pounds, 5.3% Body Fat, 2 Inches from Her Waist, and 4 Inches of Belly Fat”

“Adam Harper Who Shed His Former Skinny-Fat Guy Body and Lost 15.5 Pounds and 8% Body Fat in Only 12 Weeks”

Success breeds success. If you start now, you’ll be burning fat and changing your body almost immediately, and that will give you the complete motivation and inspiration you need to keep at it week after week. After all, you have no time to waste to get your body ready in time for swimsuit season.

If you are sick and tired of spending hours upon hours in the gym doing ineffective workouts and getting next to no results, then use Turbulence Training to cut back on your workout time, boost your metabolism (so you burn calories and fat ALL day and night), and help you lose inches to fit back into your old clothes.

This is the year you are going to “take back the beach”! No more hiding behind oversized t-shirts, no more sitting in the shade wearing extra clothes. And no more spending all the nice weather inside on a treadmill.

Use the Turbulence Training workouts and the fantastic nutrition bonuses to change your body once and for all.

When the goal is fat loss you may confused as to what the best way to split up your weekly workouts to achieve the best possible results in the least amount of time. This article is going to reveal a proven and very time-efficient way to structure your fat loss workout plan. This simple plan will maximize fat loss by causing a large metabolic disturbance that will increase metabolism and fat burning for up to 36 hours after your session is completed.a href=”http://www.fatlosslunchbreak.com/turbulence”>

The thing about fat loss training programs and the way I like to design the workouts in a weekly split is that I like to have people make fat loss a lifestyle as opposed to think about it regimented six days per week. Contrary to popular belief you don’t have to go to the gym every day to have a lean body.

The 3 Day Fat Loss Workout Split

I think the best way to do things is to split your workouts up into three total body workouts that include strength training and cardiovascular training or what I use as interval training within those workouts. You only go down to your basement gym or you only go to the commercial gym three days per week. The rest of the week, those other four days, you get to live your life and that’s what I really think a lot of people don’t understand is that you don’t have to be a slave to the gym, you just have to train with quality and not quantity.

What I like to do is split the workout program up into four week blocks of training, so we’ll do the same program every four weeks and then we’ll switch to a new program and within a week there is Workout A and Workout B that you alternate between.

On Monday of Week 1 would be Workout A which is a total body strength training workout with slightly different focus, emphasis on specific muscle groups and then followed by interval training.

Then you’ll take a day off. On Wednesday you’ll come in and do Workout B, which is again strength training to start with a slightly different emphasis than on Day 1 and then again you do interval training.

In this article Kyle Battis and Craig Ballantyne discuss how to build your home gym from scratch and what you ‘really’ need to get great fat loss results at home. Craig reveals the three essential pieces of training equipment needed to get great fat loss results at home. You may be pleasantly surprised at what fitness equipment is actually needed to forge a dream physique in your very own home gym.

Kyle Battis: This is Kyle Battis with “Fat Loss Lunch Break” and today I’m joined by my fitness buddy and fat loss expert, Craig Ballantyne. Today, we’re talking about a topic that is near and dear to my heart and that is home gym training and really, what is the minimal amount of equipment you need in your home gym to actually burn fat? Craig, thanks for being here again and take it away, my friend.

Craig Ballantyne: Literally, the minimal equipment you need is simply nothing. You can burn body fat and even gain some muscle by doing nothing but body weight exercises only in your – well, it doesn’t even have to be a home gym, it can be the corner or your living room. Literally, you don’t need anything to get started especially a lot of beginning exercises that I do, people spend a lot of time on the floor doing beginner exercises without any equipment.

From there, you’d probably be best if you graduated to getting an exercise ball. I think they’re very, very cheap, $20.00 at Wal-Mart is probably a good idea of what you might spend, and then that’s where a beginner will move into some more advanced exercises especially for the back of the legs, which are hard to train without any equipment.

For people that are a little more advanced, like even an intermediate, a simple adjustable dumbbell set that you can get from a second-hand sports store along with a bench, it can allow you to do dozens more exercises and literally you could stop there. If you are a little more advanced in your strength training, the next thing I would add is a pull-up bar or chin-up bar that you can place somewhere in your house and maybe even outside. That would be the piece de resistance to the home gym set-up would be having the pull-up bar, but again that would only be for certain people that are strong enough to do those exercises.

At a minimum, I like to see people having the bench, the ball, and the dumbbells because that allows you to do 95% of the exercises in my program. If you have a chin-up bar, then you can do the pull-ups, chin-ups, and even some inverted rows in addition, but if you don’t have the bar you can always sub in plenty of dumbbell exercises in place. That’s what I like to see people have. Again, it doesn’t cost a lot of money because you can get a lot of this stuff at a second-hand sports store, it doesn’t take up a lot of room because you can just store a very small amount especially if you get adjustable dumbbells and that’s it. You can literally have a cover model body with that minimal equipment.

Kyle Battis: And I totally agree and that is the whole premise of what I have been telling people for years when it comes to deciding what home gym equipment to get, stay minimalist. I definitely have minimalist approach too. Stay minimalist and focused on body weight exercises and those big compound core movements that you don’t need fancy equipment for. That minimalist-approach will give you that cover model body if you work the program. Follow a good program like Craig’s www.TurbulentFatLoss.com, get your nutrition dialed in, and you just stick with it while constantly monitoring your results. This is a fabulous approach and actually your body will work better than if you try to go to a traditional fitness center and use a lot of fancy isolation machines.

The free weights and the body weight movements will actually work out better for you and just train you in so many better ways than that fancy equipment will and you’ll save a heck of a lot of money too. Awesome stuff, Craig and thanks for sharing your insights on what is truly required for successful fat loss training at home.

Interval Training, also known as HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a very popular method to help increase fat loss and Men’s Health Contributor Craig Ballantyne uses it as part of his Turbulence Training fat loss program. In this mini-interview with fat loss expert Craig Ballantyne he reveals what interval training is, who can do it, and how to do it properly for maximal fat loss.

Kyle Battis: This is Kyle Battis with Fat Loss Lunch Break.com and once again I am joined by Craig Ballantyne, fat loss and fitness expert and author of Turbulence Training. Craig is going to be talking about something that is very popular right now and that is interval training. What is interval training, how can you do it, and who can do it? Craig, fill us in and give us some answers on those who, what, when, and where’s about interval training for fat loss.

Craig Ballantyne: That’s a good point you make that it’s really becoming quite popular these days and I was using it way back in the late ‘90s when I was just getting involved in the industry and what I was doing was using it with athletes and you don’t have to be an athlete to do interval training.

A beginner can do interval training because all interval training means is that you’re going to do (blank part of tape) for interval and then you’re going to bring the exercise intensity down to lower than normal intensity, recovery intensity for a very short period as well. I like to use this example, a beginner who regularly walks on a treadmill at say 3.5 miles per hour, they would do their interval training at a short, hard interval of maybe 30 to 60 seconds at 3.8 miles per hour and then they’d drop all the way down to 3.0 miles per hour for a minute recovery.

Howdy friend,

I was thumbing through some research and came across a study by the American Dietetic Association reported the following Lunch time stats for Americans:

-> Seventy-seven percent of the U.S. population reported consuming lunch.

-> Lunch provided 31% of their total energy intake, and 34% of their total fat intake.

-> The most popular foods consumed at lunch for both adult men and women were sandwiches, including hamburgers, followed by salads, and meat dishes.
