This product has been
rated  on
the Carolometer! In my opinion this is a very good product with 341 pages which
is well worth the $39 (£20) purchase price. This is an
E-book, which you can instantly download and start reading!
Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne. Hmmm…decent
idea, great name for a product.
It doesn’t look like much for your money until you
download it. Then you realise there’s more than you
thought…

BURN THE FAT, FEED THE MUSCLE
Craig Ballantyne
Chapter by Chapter:
|
|
| |
|
| 1. |
Q & A section. Answers
Your Queries. ‘Nuff said. It’s good, actually
|
|
|
| 2. |
Goal Setting. Essential, as always.
|
|
|
| 3. |
Nutrition. This is really
good, full of healthy eating tips, good and bad foods, avoiding
healthy
eating pitfalls. And it doesn’t fry your brain with scientific
gobbledygook. That comes later in the manual!
|
|
|
| 4. |
Healthy Habit Building
Plan. Great stuff! Day-by-day ideas on how to start a healthier
lifestyle
a bit at a time. Motivating, practical and accepts the fact
that you probably have a life, partner, kids, job, house, dog,
goldfish and inlaws all jockeying for your precious time…
|
|
|
| 5. |
Training Guidelines. Aha.
Here we go – and it’s only page 35. Amazing.
J Gives ideas for sample workouts…what to do on which
days, and emphasises starting with a warmup and ending with
stretches. Although I would recommend stretching ALL main
muscle groups, not just tight ones. Call me an anorak…Goes
on to give detailed cardiovascular workout plans, using the
interval training format. Yesssss! Forget the mythical Fat-Burning
Zone where you carry on until your fat spontaneously combusts
out of sheer boredom…this is the way to train! Efficient,
effective, energising…I could go on, but I’ve
run out of “e”s! Ideas for beginner to advanced.
Ten out of Ten for this bit, Craig! Anyone can do this and
will get results.

Resistance exercises.
I really like the fact that there are lots of exercises here
that use
only bodyweight, flexibands or dumbbells and don’t rely
on gym machines. Home exercisers rule ok!
You need a Stability Ball as well…easy to get and the
kids will love it.
Then there’s loads of pages with the workouts laid out
on them and space for comments. “Aaaargh!” doesn’t
count!

Exercise descriptions.
Instructions and photos for each exercise. Great idea and Craig
has obviously
gone to a lot of trouble setting these up. Pity he’s
wearing his granny’s gym kit….I think she took
the photos too. In some of them you can’t really see
what’s going on. And for pity’s sake don’t
do a squat with a barbell on your shoulders unless you are
on a Smith machine or have a spotter. Or are the Bulgarian
previously mentioned.
I don’t agree with the advice to arch the lower back
in squats…. spine should be held in neutral.
However, all that being said, there are some very good exercises
here. Don’t do the plank stuff if you’ve got high
blood pressure.
Exercises are divided into categories; Chest, Back and so on.
For the most part, this is a very useful library, but I agree
completely with Craig that you should get an exercise professional
to show you the correct form.

 Nutrition
Guide. The full enchilada this time, written by Chris Mohr
PhD. Goes through the food
groups in a user-friendly way with lots of lists for reference.
I liked this section and it certainly tells you all you need
to know (and a lot more besides!). 12 rules for Fat Loss all
good. Except the unsweetened Green Tea one. Have you TRIED
unsweetened green tea? Bleahhh!
I even have mine with milk. Looks a bit anaemic but tastes
ok.J
This detailed section also gives you all you need to know on
how many calories you need, and some meal ideas. Protein shakes
rear their head….unless you’re working out REALLY
hard, I’m not a great lover of them.
There is a line stating that smart exercise and a moderate
caloric reduction is what’s necessary. Perfect advice!
That’s the Great Big Secret of fat loss that is no secret…
|
|

Next comes another
section called Fusion Fat Loss. Que? Seems to re-iterate all
of the above…Food advice….Lifestyle advice….Workout
advice. Haven’t we already had this?
Still, there are some more exercises for your (growing) library.
But I wouldn’t recommend the Glute-Ham Raise on a Stability
Ball to anyone. Not even our Bulgarian friend.
Ooh. Another bonus section. 30 day Fat Loss Workout Guideline.
See above!
This one’s more intensive and has lots of ideas for
mixed workouts. You’ll have to live, eat and breathe
it for the 30 days, but, yeah, it’ll do the job. Look
out Little Black Dress! (Ladies, you’ll fit into your
gear, too!)
|
| CONCLUSION
I’m giving this product 5 stars.
Reason? Pretty good stuff, all you need to get started today,
written in non-gymbunny language. And it’ll do what it
says on the tin!
Live long. And prosper. Carol
