Challenging Fat Burning Abs Workout

Permalink | 1 Comment

The video below is probably one of the most challenging I’ve seen put together by Craig Ballantyne. I know after one set, you are probably going to feel the burn.

The cool thing about this workout is the variety of exercises that go into it. You’ve got squats, pull-ups, burpees, the plank, and more. I can’t imagine anyone being bored with this routine.

This right here is what Turbulence Training is all about:

The video below by Craig Ballantyne is an awesome demonstration of a full body workout using a kettlebell and bodyweight exercises. It is a circuit of 10 different exercises, 20 reps per exercise, with about 2 minutes rest between sets. Just thinking about this circuit makes me tired!

Work Your Upper Back with the Face Pull

When I saw the title for this exercise I was a bit curious to what exactly it was going to work out. If you work out at a gym, this is an easy exercise to incorporate. It uses the tricep rope which I like using when I work out.

Craig Ballantyne demonstrates below. It’s a simple move and works your upper back and shoulders.

Using Tabata with Bodyweight Workouts

Permalink | 2 Comments

The Tabata method works great with bodyweight routines. It doesn’t require any equipment and can be done anywhere. If you’re not familiar with the Tabata method, it is simply:

  • Choose an exercise
  • Perform as many repetitions of the exercise for 20 seconds
  • Rest for 10 seconds
  • Repeat 7 more times

Below, Craig Ballantyine demonstrates two simple bodyweight exercises that you can use with the Tabata method: squats and push-ups.

Dumbbell Upper Body Workout

Permalink | 1 Comment

This workout is sure to kick butt. Craig Ballantyne only performed some of the exercises and was out of breath by the end of the video, so imagine what completing the full routine will do! This workout is made to work the upper body and you can perform this at a busy gym or in your home if you have the equipment.

It is a 10×10 interval workout using nothing more than dumbbells and a bench. If you’re just starting out, it may be a good idea to start with light weights and substitute some exercises with just your body weight. It is definitely a routine that will build up strength, work your cardiovascular system, and burn the heck out of some fat!
