This past summer I competed in the Turbulence Training transformation contest and won 2nd place for my transformation. I now have a platinum membership and full access to all the Turbulence Training workouts.
During my transformation I used the Turbulence Training Fat Loss Manual which contains over 6 months worth of workouts. I used the Intermediate workout and the 2K4 workout from the manual. I also used the Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks workout.
Turbulence Training workouts are created to be quick and effective. Most of the workout plans are based on 3-4 day workouts per week for 4 weeks. By the end of the 4 weeks your body needs a workout change so you keep improving and getting results.
The Turbulence Training workouts are 45 minutes to 1 hour in length because they utilize super-sets, circuits and interval training.
Super-sets are two exercises done back to back. They can either be for the same muscle group or different muscle groups. This is a great way to save time since you are not taking a break in between exercises.
Circuit training utilizes a group of exercises one after another and usually consists of body weight exercises. It is like combining aerobics with resistance training. These circuits are found in boot camp workouts.
Interval training is a great way for burning fat. Interval training is short burst of high intensity followed by a lower intensity. Most of the Turbulence Training workouts include some sort of interval training at the end of the workout.
Turbulence Training workouts are great for the gym or at home workouts. I have been training at home for over a year now. I am amazed at the fact that I can get such a great workout at home without any equipment. I am able to do most of the exercises from the turbulence training workouts with just a pull-up bar, bench, stability ball and a pair of dumbbells.
The workout manuals include pictures of the exercises with descriptions so you know how to properly do the exercises. For people with the monthly membership there are also videos of some of the newer workouts so you can see exactly how the exercises are done.
One of the things I did not like about the turbulence training workouts is the fact that some of them would include interval training at the end of the workout. I am not opposed to the interval training, just having to think of exercises to do for intervals. I do not have a treadmill, bike or elliptical machine available to use. If there was a routine for me to follow I would have been more inclined to complete this part of the workout.
