Fat Loss Workouts For Obese Men and Women
by
Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Fat loss for obese people can follow the same Turbulence Training workouts that fat loss for advanced people will follow, but we just need to adjust the exercises and intensity. The principles remain the same. We'll use multi-muscle exercises. We'll do them in superset pairs. And yes, we'll even use interval training for this. It will be modified, but we can still do it. Recently, my friend and nutrition expert Dr. Chris Mohr interviewed me on how an obese person can use Turbulence Training for fat loss. Q: Craig, what do you do if you have an extremely obese individual who is totally inactive -- is TT still the best recommendation?
Answer: I built the Turbulence Training system working with men and women from 14-75, and my experience included many obese men and women along the way, including men over 300 pounds and women over 225 pounds. Provided their doctor approved them for exercise, we were ready to go! So that's why I've included the Introductory and Beginner Level TT Workouts in the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss manual. Any sedentary individual, man or woman, needs to start there. In fact, the very first phase is performed with 90% of the exercises done lying on the ground. Users are shocked to see how hard LYING exercises can be...but they are the perfect blend of safety and intensity for overweight, inactive folks. The perfect starting point. That brings up one other thing...and the main point beginners need to understand is that NUTRITION is the key to fat loss in the first couple of weeks when they are getting back into exercise. Folks will get more results from following your meal plans. That said, they need to choose an exercise program that will build them up for future training sessions...and that's what my TT workouts do. On the other hand, if inactive folks launch right into a serious cardio/endurance program, they'll get a sour taste of the "Dark Side of Cardio" pretty quick, putting them in the Doctor's office with overuse injuries. So choose your fat loss weapons wisely when just starting out! If you are a beginner, make sure to check with your doctor before starting a new diet or exercise program. Safety first!

Back To Article IndexThe Truth About Six Pack Abs
Stop Making It Harder on Your Body and Start Working WITH Your Body Think about this... if what you've been doing all these years hasn't been getting you the results you want, doing more of that same thing won't get you any further! If doing 4 hours of cardio a week hasn't worked for you, why do you believe that doing 7 hours of cardio will? If doing 100 crunches a day hasn't gotten you the results you want, why do you think that doing 200 crunches a day will? Of course you remember that doing the same things over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity! The truth is that all of these techniques are WRONG and ineffective ways to workout. In fact, doing excessive cardio is actually working against your results because you are stimulating excessive cortisol production in your body and breaking down lean muscle tissue... all of which leads to the slowing down of your metabolic rate over time and deposition of even more belly fat on top of what you already have. Also, wasting most of your workout time with ineffective abs exercises such as crunches, situps, and torso twists actually goes directly against your fat loss efforts as well. You see, the time you waste with doing all of these fairly ineffective abs exercises, is really just keeping you from doing the truly effective full body exercise combinations that actually stimulate your fat burning hormones and increase your metabolic rate for as much as 24-48 hours after each workout. You don't get that with "ab workouts" or "cardio"! When you get these types of full body metabolic-surge workouts right, the excess belly fat starts to melt off quicker than you ever could have imagined. Yes, it IS going to take a little work though. You're not going to be able to just be lazy and sit on the couch every day hoping for your dream body to come true. Don't worry though, it's a system that can be applied by anyone, regardless of your age or current conditioning. Don't delay any longer in developing the body of your dreams! People that keep putting off their goals rarely ever get around to pursuing them. STOP procrastinating and making LAME excuses for why you aren't in the shape you want to be in! Arm yourself with the knowledge TODAY to get the sexy tight body you want, and then ACT on it! |
