Calling All Golfers

Although the weather in PA has been pretty crappy so far, golf season is upon us.

Regular No Pink Dumbbells readers know how highly I recommend Craig Ballantyne and his Turbulence Training system. As I've said before, I base many of the programs I write for my clients on his method.

I just found out that Craig has created a new golf fitness challenge product with golf fitness expert, Susan Hill.

I'm not a golfer and I won't try to pretend that I am but if you want to improve your game I suggest you check out their program. Why?

Susan Hill is an avid golfer and a professional golf fitness trainer. That's what she does for a living - she works with professional golfers, competitive golfers of all levels, collegiate golf teams, and recreational players.

Besides creating his Turbulence Training fat loss system, Craig Ballantyne's sports training articles and workouts can be found on many of the best fitness websites. He is a regular contributor to Men’s Health and his articles have appeared in many magazines including Oxygen, Maximum Fitness, and Muscle & Fitness Hers.

To Those Who Celebrate...

Another Quickie Circuit Workout

Here's a quickie circuit for you to try out.

Warmup for 3-5 minutes.

Beginners or deconditioned folks should do 10 reps per exercise (or 10 per side if it's an exercise that works the legs or arms individually). If you currently work out, shoot for 12-15 reps.

Complete all 6 exercises with no rest in between (if possible). That's one round.

Rest 30-60 seconds then repeat for a total of 3-6 rounds, depending on how much time you have and how you feel.

* Alt. Rear Lunge (with or without dumbbells)
* Bent Over 2 Arm D.B. Row
* Prisoner Squats
* Pushups - (Based on your ability - Decline, Standard, Incline, Knee or Wall)
* Lying Hamstring Ball Curl (or Lying Hip Bridge if you don't have a Stability Ball)
* Spiderman Climbs or Mountain Climbers

Let me know what you think.

Diet vs. Exercise Episode 2

I haven't had time to blog lately so I'm really glad these guys have come out with another Diet vs. Exercise video.

This time Craig takes on the StepMill while John Alvino takes on a burger and fries (with some help from Brad Pilon).



Last time I was remiss in not including some info about Craig and Brad's programs. Craig Ballantyne is the creator of Turbulence Training and Brad Pilon is the author of Eat Stop Eat. I've used and recommend both programs.
