Top 10 Transformation Contest Tips by Craig Ballantyne
Craig Ballantyne is getting ready to close the doors on his Turbulence
Training Transformation Contest. If you need a jump start on your fat
loss goals, extra motivation or accountability, you should check it out. You can read the rules at ==>TT Transformation Contest RulesEven if you decide not to sign up for the contest, check out Craig's top
10 transformation tips below. Craig knows his stuff and if you don't
believe me take a look at the before and after shots of previous TT
Transformation Contest participants.
Top 10 Transformation Contest Tips
By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
If you want to lose fat and gain lean, sculpted muscle at the same
time, there is nothing better to get you motivated and committed
than a 12-week Transformation Contest.
Not only can you dramatically change your body, but you can also win
$1000 just for losing belly fat. At least, you can when you join the
Turbulence Training Transformation Contest.
And so here are the top 10 tips to help you maximize your results.
10. Clean out your pantry.
Listen, one of the best fat loss tips is simply, "If you don't have
it in the house, you won't eat it!"
So get rid of as much junk food as you can - and avoid bringing more
into the house. Simply cutting back on junk can help you lose fat fast.
9. Get social support.
Scientific research proves that you will lose more fat if you have
social support, both in "real life" and on the internet. So hook up
with friends who are going to help you reach your goal.
Online, I recommend getting started with Turbulence Training and
using the Turbulence Training forum to connect with people like you
who want to lose fat.
8. Use a food journal.
Write down what you eat. This is another research proven tip to help
you lose fat faster. Write down everything you eat. It will help you
eat better.
7. Take before photos.
Yes, it's not a lot of fun to look at your before photos now, but
when you are done your transformation, you'll be glad you have the
photos to compare. Plus, you'll need those to win the TT Contest. 
6. Fix your mindset.
No matter what you struggle with, you must switch your mindset to be
a successful transformation. You must go from a person who "can't
resist cookies" to the type of person that "doesn't eat cookies
unless they are part of a planned reward meal". That is how you win
transformation contests!
5. You must be in the correct state of change.
The truth is that even the best transformation contest winners don't
lose 30 pounds of fat on their first try. They start, they stop.
They begin, they give up.
It happens. And it's okay.
But when they get in the right state of change, that is when they
finally breakthrough and transform! And that's where you have to be.
4. Use a PROVEN, structured, short burst workout program.
Research shows that resistance training and interval training can
help you gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Plus, you can
burn belly fat AND boost your post-exercise metabolism. You MUST use
this type of workout for guaranteed results.
3. Stop doing slow boring cardio and switch to interval training.
Research shows that it takes up to 50 hours of cardio just to lose
one pound of bodyweight.
Who has that kind of time? No one!
But other research studies show that interval training burns belly
fat while slow cardio doesn't. So skip the insanely boring cardio
and start getting results with interval training (as you'll find in
the Turbulence Training workouts).
2. Plan, shop, and prepare your food.
Take an hour or two on the weekend to go to the grocery store and
buy all the whole, natural foods you need for the week ahead. Go
home and prepare as many lunches and snacks as possible so you have
the right food to eat while at work. This is a proven strategy to
help you lose fat and avoid temptation!
1. Get Turbulence Training. It's the proven, step-by-step guide to
transforming your body and your life.
If you've ever wanted to do this for yourself - if you deserve it -
and I know you do, then NOW is the time to get started with the best
fat burning workout in the world.

Cardio Is A Waste of Time for Fat Loss by Craig Ballantyne
While I'm on vacation I have an excellent article for you from Craig Ballantyne. If you're a member, client or regular reader of this blog, you know my opinion about using steady state cardio for fat loss.
It's hard for me to believe that there are still people who think jogging or walking is the best way to dump body fat. In fact, just the other day someone questioned Craig about it on Facebook. Long boring cardio? Fugetaboutit. Read why below...
Cardio Is A Waste of Time for Fat Loss
By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
www.TurbulenceTraining.com
While the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic exercise is a great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users know that interval training is the better way to burn body fat.
Still not convinced?
A recent study published by the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60 minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days per week for an entire year.
Given the amount of exercise, you'd expect weight losses of 20, 30 pounds, or more, right?
Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female subjects was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6 pounds of fat over the year. That's over 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a measly 6 pounds of blubber. Not time well spent, in my opinion.
So what's the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using interval training and strength training to get better bodysculpting results. With intervals, you'll achieve more fat burning results in less workout time.
The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline that can challenge you for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the normal pace for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary bike, or even an elliptical machine to do intervals.
But whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio exercise workouts and stick with Turbulence Training for your fat burning program.

From Your Belly Fat
Below is a great e-mail I received from Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training.com It's a very creative way of stressing the value of training the right way to get rid of body fat.
How's it goin'!
This is a letter from your ol' pal, Belly Fat. We had a great run this summer, didn't we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol' sitting around eating too much.
Well, I'm thinking about sticking around another year if you don't mind. But you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here.
So do me a favor, avoid that interval training you were thinking of doing. The last time you did that stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, "Help me, I'm melting!"?
Instead, stick to that slow cardio stuff. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol' brain up there thinks it's doing "a real fat burning workout", but it's never enough to melt me outta here.
Another thing, keep listening to those experts who say strength training doesn't burn body fat. Since research shows they're wrong, if you added strength training to your program, you'd practically need to throw me a going away party!
After each one of those superset workouts you tried last January it felt like someone lit a match under our collective butt. I was burning up down here!
But boy oh boy, I sure was glad you gave that up and went back to just lifting utensils and not dumbbells. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to celebrate another summer together this year.
Sometimes I wonder, what did you ever do in college without me, your trusted belly fat? Back then, you were probably one of those people that couldn't wait to get to the beach to show off your body, unlike these days.
Nope, stay in the shade and keep the cover-up clothes on, that's the way to go now. Besides, its a lot closer to the cold beer and the BBQ when you're sitting in the shade avoiding all the fun down on the beach.
Well, it sure was good catching up with you. I'm sure we'll be in touch more often, as long as you stay away from that Turbulence Training workout routine.
Brings a tear to my eye whenever I even think about that workout program and all the belly fat it's burned. Heck, it's fried more fat than a short order cook at a roadside truckstop.
So again, if you want to keep your dear old belly around for another year and another summer, do NOT use Turbulence Training - otherwise, its all over pal, and you'll never see me again.
Belly Fat says, "Don't use this"

Your friend and spare tire,
Belly Fat
PS - Seriously, don't go near that Turbulence Training program unless you want to see me, Thunder Thighs, Manboobs, Jigg Lee Arm Fat, and Luv Handles pack our bags and hit the highway.
It will be a sad farewell, and you'd be stuck with ripped abs, gorgeous glutes, and toned arms, and you know how much attention those guys get from the opposite sex. Who needs it, I say.
PPS - Don't do what this guy and gal did. They used Turbulence Training and look what happened to their belly fat. Now please go get me some more comfort food...
"Hi Craig - First, I LOVE your program. In just under two weeks, I have already started seeing definition - that has been my goal for as long as I have been working out (a LONG time). Keep up the GREAT work, and thanks!"

"I lost 14 pounds this month and the weight is just falling off me. My wife says I now look like when we first met and I still have more to go. I can fit into my old jeans again which is a big deal for me. I just cut back on starches and bread and do your routine 2-3 times a week. I never thought in a million years that just 10-20 minutes of weight training followed by some cardio would get me such steady results. I even cheat a bit on the weekends."
