“If you focus on results you will never change.
But if you focus on change, you’ll get results.” ~ Jack Dixon
That's my favorite fitness quote; it's even on Body & Soul's brochures.
So, are you ready to change?
Do you truly believe you can improve your health and discard fat? If not, you need to change that mindset.
Also, although some of you may find it “airy-fairy” thinking, I honestly believe that no one can have long term weight management success if they hate their body. The messages you send to yourself through negative self-talk become self-perpetuating.
“I hate the way I look”, “I’m as big as a house”, “I can’t believe I ate all that, I’m such a pig”, “My thighs are huge”, “I hate this jiggle under my arms”. If you say, or think, things like that about your body, you need to stop.
Think of the many positive things about your body. Are there particular features that you like? If necessary, could you run from a burning building to save your life? Can you take care of yourself, pick up your kids or grandkids, go dancing if you want?
Your body may not be the exact size you prefer but you are alive, not bedridden, and probably healthier than most. Be grateful.
Think about it. If we tried to run our cars on the same quality of fuel that most of us put in our bodies, they wouldn’t perform at all. And yet, you’re still functioning.
Have you ever tried to basically starve yourself into a certain size? Obviously, it didn't work or you probably wouldn't still be reading this. Declaring war on your body will cause it to fight back. How far would you get if you only put half a gallon of gas in your car? Your body is no different; it won’t perform at its best without adequate, high-quality fuel (nutrition) and proper rest.
Be grateful for your body, treat it well and your chance of success will skyrocket.

Fat Burning Bodyweight Circuit Exercises
Get tired of doing your usual cardio or interval workouts? Whether you're an advanced or beginner exerciser, Craig Ballantyne has a great alternative to spice up your workout and get results. You can also use his suggestions while traveling or if you want to take your workout outside, like I did yesterday.
Fat Burning Bodyweight Circuit Exercises
By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Turbulence Training for Fat Loss
When you travel, you worry about missing your workouts and eating poorly...So you must plan ahead for both (apples and almonds for planes, trains, & automobiles)...and bodyweight circuits for "no-equipment fat burning".
And while I have bodyweight exercises that are just as hard as the bench press and barbell squat in one of my bodyweight workouts, today we'll focus on replacing intervals with bodyweight circuits.
To do a bodyweight circuit...
a) Pick 3 lower body exercises
b) Pick 3 upper body exercises
c) Alternate between a lower and upper body exercise without rest, till you are done all 6 exercises
d) Rest a minute.
e) Repeat 2-3 more times until you are done 20 minutes
For example, this is a great circuit that doesn't need any equipment
1) Prisoner Squat (12 repetitions)
2) Elevated Pushups (8 reps per side)
3) Single-Leg Deadlift (10 reps per side)
4) Close-grip Pushups (As many reps as possible)
5) Jumping Jacks (30-60 reps)
6) Cross-Body Mountain Climber (12 reps per side)
Whew. That's pretty advanced...for a beginner, we'd slow it down like this and take some breaks between exercises...
1) Wall Squat (8 reps)
2) Kneeling Elevated Pushup (5 reps per side)
3) Lying 1-leg Hip Extension (8 reps per side)
4) Plank (30 second hold)
5) Jumping Jacks (5-10 reps)
6) Side Plank (15 second hold per side)
Safe travels, and of course, always check with your doctor before beginning a fat burning bodyweight circuit exercise program.

By Popular Demand - Another Workout for St. Jude
Everyone raved about the great workout they got during our last Workout for St. Jude so I'm having another. If you weren't able to participate last time and you live in the Lancaster, PA area, here's your chance to have some fun, get some vitamin D and support a worthy cause while getting a great workout.
Here are the details:
WORKOUT FOR ST. JUDE
Sunday, June 1st at 10:00 A.M.
Join me at the New School playground in Lancaster (on Columbia Avenue beside Clock Towers) for a fun and challenging group workout session.
Please spread the word among your friends, family and co-workers. The pre-registration donation is $10 per person ($12 that day) and it would be great if you’d also like to get sponsors. (Great but not necessary. If you do want to collect donations, contact me for a sponsor sheet.)
The workout will last approximately 60 minutes. Anyone 12 and older is welcome to participate.
I need to have an idea of how many people will be attending so please sign up in person at Body & Soul Fitness Studio or contact me at (717) 509-7777 or at Mickey at bsfstudio.com. (I'm trying to avoid the spambots getting my e-mail address so you'll have to replace "at" with @.)
If the kids in your life are healthy, show your gratitude by helping those who are not.
Hope to see you there!
Mickey Glick
Certified Personal Trainer
Owner, Body & Soul Fitness Studio
All proceeds benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where no child is ever turned away due to parental inability to pay and no patient’s family is billed for charges not paid by insurance.

True Sportsmanship
Senior, Sara Tulcholsky hit the first and only home run of her high school career but it wouldn't have counted without the unselfish act of players from the other team.
You've probably already read or heard about this true show of sportsmanship but if you haven't, take 6 minutes and watch this uplifting video. You won't be sorry.

Try It, You'll Like It
I strongly believe that if you're serious about getting results from your exercise routine, you need a solid plan. Cobbling together a training program from magazine articles and exercises you did in high school or college is not the way to fast, efficient workouts.
I've written often about Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training program for those who don't have access to Body & Soul and me. I actually use TT and I now base the programs I design on Craig's training principles. Not only does it work but I also recommend Turbulence Training because it's easy to follow. There are some great fat loss programs out there but some of them are overly complicated for the average Joe or Josie.
However, as worthwhile as I know Craig's program is, I understand the reluctance of some of you to buy products sight unseen over the internet (even with a money-back guarantee). If you're one of those people, I have a great deal for you.
Craig just started offering a 21-day trial of Turbulence Training for just $4.95. You get to read through all the info, visit the private TT forums with questions or for support from Craig and other TT members and try the workouts for 3 weeks. If you don't like the program, just let Craig know and he'll refund your money. Only at the end of your 21-day trial, after you've had time to use the workouts, will you be billed for the remaining $35.00 (if you haven't requested a refund).
There's no longer an excuse. For less than an automated car wash, a meal at a fast food joint or fancy drink at Starbucks, you can try out this great fat burning system. Check out all the details here.

Be Grateful For The Body You Have
I often tell the story of an elderly woman who attended aqua classes at a gym where I worked as a personal trainer. The woman used a cane and moved very slowly and with much effort. Unfortunately for her, the pool happened to be at the opposite end of the building, and yet, multiple times a week this woman showed up for class and slowly made her way back to the locker room and then to the pool.
She could have stayed home and read a book or watched TV. She could have rationalized that just getting to the pool was pretty strenuous and she could get just as much exercise from cleaning or gardening or something. She could have told herself that she was old and had so many physical problems that a few water classes were not going to make much difference. But she didn't.
I think of this woman often when members and clients speak with disgust about their bodies.
You may not have the figure of some wafer thin movie star but are you capable of enjoying a walk around your neighborhood? Could you make it down your basement steps if a tornado was coming? Are you strong enough to pick up a baby? Do you breathe without the use of an oxygen tank? Would you be able to get yourself out of a burning building?
The vast majority of the people reading this are not physically incapable of getting stronger, dropping fat and being healthier. Some may have to start out more slowly than others but you can definitely make improvements if you are willing to make an effort.
Be grateful for what you have now while you work toward what you want.

If you answered yes to those questions then I suggest that you stop programming your mind with hateful, counterproductive messages about your body. Stop focusing on what you don't have, be grateful for what your body is currently capable of and work toward improving it.
Be grateful for what you have now while you work toward what you want.

Random Thoughts #2
* Don't tell me you can't get a good wood workout without using a bunch of machines. We held our Workout for St. Jude last Saturday on a nearby playground. The workout consisted almost entirely of bodyweight exercises and there was no doubt among the participants as to whether or not they'd been challenged.
* Why do people (especially women) get so hung up on losing weight rather than inches? Just recently a Body & Soul member was frustrated that the scale hadn't moved, even though she had lost an inch around her hips. I honestly don't get it. If you're fitting into smaller clothing you haven't worn in months/years, you are obviously getting smaller. Isn't that really the goal? If your body is shrinking, why waste one second worrying about what the number on the scale says?
* Considering that so many people nowadays are sensitive or even allergic to fragrance, why do some women and men insist on dousing themselves with perfume or cologne? If someone can tell you've been somewhere after you've already left, you wear too much fragrance.

No-Crunch Core Exercises
You can't spot reduce and ab crunches are highly overrated. That being said, a strong core is important for everyday living and to reduce the incidence of back pain. Here is a video from Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training demonstrating three good exercises to increase endurance in your core area.

Got Results?
On Sunday, I had my first session with a new personal training client and she started talking about her experience at another gym. To me, every fitness center has its own personality so I don't find it unusual when someone prefers the atmosphere of one gym over another. I do find it troubling, however, that lately I've been hearing so many reports about the lack of a proper instruction for members.
When my new client told me what passed for a "personal training" session at this large, local gym, I was actually shocked. I don't know if her session was supposed to be a freebie or not. To me, it doesn't matter. If you promote the service as "personal training", it should definitely be more than a trainer handing a list of exercises to the member to perform on her own.
I realize that many fitness centers are trying to cut corners; they are forced to compete with bargain gyms that offer little service for ridiculously low prices. Unfortunately, that means people are not getting the information they need to safely and effectively drop body fat and improve their health, which means many of them don't see results and they give up.
If you aren't a woman, aren't in the Lancaster area or if you're already committed to another facility and can't join Body & Soul, or if you want to exercise at home, I encourage you to check out Craig Ballantyne's TurbulenceTraining system. (Heck, even Body & Soul members may want to get their hands on the great bonuses.)
You will get easy to follow but highly effective routines that you can use at home or at the gym. If you have questions about an exercise or need a substitution due to an injury, etc., you can post on the forum and Craig himself and/or other TT members will quickly respond. If you're serious about changing your body, take a few minutes and look over the info on the website.
If you want to see what people just like you were able to accomplish in 12 weeks with the Turbulence Training program check out this video:
For more specifics on the Turbulence Training system, here's a Q and A Craig just put out:
Q) What is TurbulenceTraining?
Answer:
Turbulence training is my method of doing strength training and interval training in one workout. So that you get in and out of the gym whether it's your home gym or whether it's a commercial gym. You get your workout done in 45 minutes.
TT starts with a 5-minute bodyweight warm up and then we do strength training for 20 minutes, whether it's bodyweight training or dumbbells. Sometimes we use barbells but most people with train at home so we just use dumbbells and bodyweight exercises - no fancy equipment needed.
Then we finish with 20 minutes of interval training. We are using the most efficient and effective training methods. The stuff that gets you the most results in the least amount of time. So we are not doing long, slow cardio sessions and we're not doing 5 or 6 day per week bodybuilding training programs.
It's like the old business principle - 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts - so why do endless amounts of cardio and redundant strength training exercises?
Do only what you need to do and then get out of the gym.
Turbulence Training was designed because you asked for fast fat-burning, muscle-building workouts that could be done at home.
Turbulence Training is...
"The single most effective fat loss training system in the world today. I've used it. I've studied it. It works faster and more
effectively than any other method."
Alwyn Cosgrove, CSCS, Men's Health Training Adviser.
"I am actually getting twice the results in half the time. I no longer feel bound to the gym struggling for the smallest result. On top of that I can't praise your customer service highly enough, you have been amazing! For the price I paid, I have received so much more than I anticipated. Many thanks and all the best."
Heidi Sinclair
Q: Will you PLEASE tell me if I can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. My trainer says you can do it, but all the other people at my gym say it's IMPOSSIBLE! Help!
Answer:
I agree with your trainer. It IS possible. With the right program, great nutrition, and a positive attitude, you can achieve
incredible changes.
With the right exercise and nutrition program you can maximize the benefits of your hormones to gain muscle and lose fat, all at the same time.
This answer could be the subject of a whole book, and maybe some day it will...but for now, just at leave it at this: I've designed the Turbulence Training workouts and nutrition plan to get the most mileage from your hormones when it comes to getting lean and burning calories.
Stick with your trainer or Turbulence Training, and show all the un-believers just how possible it is!
Q: I'm suffering through a major fat loss plateau right now. Will Turbulence Training help?
ANSWER:
Some of the major reasons for fat loss plateaus include:
- Using the same workouts over and over and over again for extended periods of time.
- Not including enough high-intensity strength training and interval training.
- And choosing inefficient isolation, machine-based exercises instead of standing, multi-muscle exercises.
The best fat loss workouts are designed with variety, intensity, and efficiency in mind so that you get more results in less time.
That's why the Turbulence Training workouts change every 4 weeks, and you'll use only exercises that train multiple muscle groups at the same time - thus burning more fat with each repetition.
By changing the training intensity of your workouts, as well as using a variety of repetition ranges for your lifting, and including interval training, I guarantee that you will leave your fat loss plateaus in the dust.
"In only 27 days, I have really noticed positive changes in my body. I am fitting into size 32 jeans, not since high school have I one this. I can tell that I am changing my body composition just by looking in the mirror, I am more vascular, leaner. I feel great and as each day goes by I look forward to the next challenge, the next workout. I owe this to the TT training, its awesome and I would recommend this to any person who wants to make positive transformations to their body. Thanks for everything."
Brad MacMillan
Q: OK, so what are all of the TT Birthday Celebration bonuses again?
ANSWER:

1) Fat Burning Meal Plans for Men & Women by Dr. Chris Mohr (Value $97)

P.S. What happens after this celebration giveaway is over?
Well, you can still get my Turbulence Training manuals any time in the future, of course, but the launch promotion bonuses will all be removed from the Turbulence Training webpage at midnight Wednesday, May 7th.
This is your first, last and only chance to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to grab Turbulence Training AND all the extra bonuses in this great package.
PPS. Remember, there's no risk at all to at least TRY my TurbulenceTraining system because you have an 8 week guarantee.
That's more than enough time to take these programs for a "test drive" and see for yourself just how much fat you can burn or how much lean muscle you can gain.
Don't let summer pass you by...start burning fat today!
"At the end of week one, I lost 3.5 pounds and I was feeling great. Yesterday was the end of week two and I lost 3 more pounds! Six and a half pounds in two weeks and I feel outstanding. Not the least bit tired or weak. I've never been so enthusiastic about each workout. I didn't bother to take a 'before' photo, but I may still do that. I would have touched base with you sooner, but with work, school, training, etc., I'm always pressed for time. And of course, that's what makes Turbulence Training such a convenient program."
Chuck Fager
"This program is awesome, not easy, you have to work hard, be focused and the results will come. i'm close to 50 and seeing very positive changes."
Mike Wharton
"I'm in the last week of my first month on the program and I'm loving it. The workouts are quick, but always leave me feeling like I've made progress. My energy level is much higher on days that I work out and I even stick to my diet better. Thanks so much."
Taylor Martin
When my new client told me what passed for a "personal training" session at this large, local gym, I was actually shocked. I don't know if her session was supposed to be a freebie or not. To me, it doesn't matter. If you promote the service as "personal training", it should definitely be more than a trainer handing a list of exercises to the member to perform on her own.
I realize that many fitness centers are trying to cut corners; they are forced to compete with bargain gyms that offer little service for ridiculously low prices. Unfortunately, that means people are not getting the information they need to safely and effectively drop body fat and improve their health, which means many of them don't see results and they give up.
If you aren't a woman, aren't in the Lancaster area or if you're already committed to another facility and can't join Body & Soul, or if you want to exercise at home, I encourage you to check out Craig Ballantyne's TurbulenceTraining system. (Heck, even Body & Soul members may want to get their hands on the great bonuses.)
You will get easy to follow but highly effective routines that you can use at home or at the gym. If you have questions about an exercise or need a substitution due to an injury, etc., you can post on the forum and Craig himself and/or other TT members will quickly respond. If you're serious about changing your body, take a few minutes and look over the info on the website.
If you want to see what people just like you were able to accomplish in 12 weeks with the Turbulence Training program check out this video:
For more specifics on the Turbulence Training system, here's a Q and A Craig just put out:
Q) What is TurbulenceTraining?
Answer:
Turbulence training is my method of doing strength training and interval training in one workout. So that you get in and out of the gym whether it's your home gym or whether it's a commercial gym. You get your workout done in 45 minutes.
TT starts with a 5-minute bodyweight warm up and then we do strength training for 20 minutes, whether it's bodyweight training or dumbbells. Sometimes we use barbells but most people with train at home so we just use dumbbells and bodyweight exercises - no fancy equipment needed.
Then we finish with 20 minutes of interval training. We are using the most efficient and effective training methods. The stuff that gets you the most results in the least amount of time. So we are not doing long, slow cardio sessions and we're not doing 5 or 6 day per week bodybuilding training programs.
It's like the old business principle - 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts - so why do endless amounts of cardio and redundant strength training exercises?
Do only what you need to do and then get out of the gym.
Turbulence Training was designed because you asked for fast fat-burning, muscle-building workouts that could be done at home.
Turbulence Training is...
"The single most effective fat loss training system in the world today. I've used it. I've studied it. It works faster and more
effectively than any other method."
Alwyn Cosgrove, CSCS, Men's Health Training Adviser.
"I am actually getting twice the results in half the time. I no longer feel bound to the gym struggling for the smallest result. On top of that I can't praise your customer service highly enough, you have been amazing! For the price I paid, I have received so much more than I anticipated. Many thanks and all the best."
Heidi Sinclair
Q: Will you PLEASE tell me if I can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. My trainer says you can do it, but all the other people at my gym say it's IMPOSSIBLE! Help!
Answer:
I agree with your trainer. It IS possible. With the right program, great nutrition, and a positive attitude, you can achieve
incredible changes.
With the right exercise and nutrition program you can maximize the benefits of your hormones to gain muscle and lose fat, all at the same time.
This answer could be the subject of a whole book, and maybe some day it will...but for now, just at leave it at this: I've designed the Turbulence Training workouts and nutrition plan to get the most mileage from your hormones when it comes to getting lean and burning calories.
Stick with your trainer or Turbulence Training, and show all the un-believers just how possible it is!
Q: I'm suffering through a major fat loss plateau right now. Will Turbulence Training help?
ANSWER:
Some of the major reasons for fat loss plateaus include:
- Using the same workouts over and over and over again for extended periods of time.
- Not including enough high-intensity strength training and interval training.
- And choosing inefficient isolation, machine-based exercises instead of standing, multi-muscle exercises.
The best fat loss workouts are designed with variety, intensity, and efficiency in mind so that you get more results in less time.
That's why the Turbulence Training workouts change every 4 weeks, and you'll use only exercises that train multiple muscle groups at the same time - thus burning more fat with each repetition.
By changing the training intensity of your workouts, as well as using a variety of repetition ranges for your lifting, and including interval training, I guarantee that you will leave your fat loss plateaus in the dust.
"In only 27 days, I have really noticed positive changes in my body. I am fitting into size 32 jeans, not since high school have I one this. I can tell that I am changing my body composition just by looking in the mirror, I am more vascular, leaner. I feel great and as each day goes by I look forward to the next challenge, the next workout. I owe this to the TT training, its awesome and I would recommend this to any person who wants to make positive transformations to their body. Thanks for everything."
Brad MacMillan

I would have touched base with you sooner, but with work, school, training, etc., I'm always pressed for time. And of course, that's what makes Turbulence Training such a convenient program."
Chuck Fager

Mike Wharton

How to Burn Belly Fat Fast In Time For Summer
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 post you're going to read all year.
Another winter has flown by, and lots of men and women are unhappy with the progress they've been making in their fat burning programs. And yet summer is only weeks away!
Everyone wants to know the fastest way to...
1) Burn belly fat fast, permanently
2) Get rid of the flab covering their arms and thighs
3) Flatten their abs
4) Fit into the smaller clothes and swimsuits they bought last year
5) And get this all done in only a couple of hours per week
Part of the problem is that people don't have a good system to follow and they don't have 90 minutes to spend at the gym each day, like most magazine workouts require.
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.
I've told you before about Craig Ballantyne and his Turbulence Training program. It 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.
Craig and his fast fat burning workouts have 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.
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 and 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, giving you more time to live life and spend with your family and friends.
And as I said earlier, 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.
(That's no B.S.; those of you who missed out on previous bonuses know it's the truth.)
Now, unless this is your first visit to No Pink Dumbbells, you've probably seen me praising 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. Plus, compared to the results of long, slow boring cardio workouts, 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 hours exercising.
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 dumbbells (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 every day 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 or at the gym.
TurbulenceTraining 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.
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...

2) Bikini Ready Abs by Holly Rigsby (Value $29.95)

An Apple A Day Keeps The Cholesterol Away
We all know that apples are nutritious and a great source of fiber but did you know that eating apples can also help keep your cholesterol in check?
Red Delicious apples, especially, are rich in phenolics, which make blood fats more stable. More stability means the blood fats are less likely to oxidize and stick to the walls of your arteries causing block-ages.
