Recently I was down in sunny Mesa, Arizona at a seminar that
featured both Sir Richard Branson and Bill Phillips, the author of
the most popular fat loss book ever, “Body for Life” (BFL).

It looked as though Bill hadn’t aged a day since his book came out about 10 years ago, so he’s doing something right.

Now I get questions all the time asking what’s better, “Turbulence Training or Body for Life”?

Well, I’m going to be frank with you, and tell you that Turbulence Training is better, hands down.

Remember, BFL was written about 10 years ago. And a lot has changed since then. Granted, BFL had interval training in it, but it didn’t use bodyweight circuits (like you’ll find in your bonus workout, the TT DB-BW Fusion program).

These small changes and improvements we’ve learned in the last few years are enough to make the TT workouts shorter and better. So if you are stuck for time, you have no choice but to go with the program that is constantly being updated with the latest proven workout methods – and that’s the Turbulence Training program.

If you have an old copy of BFL lying around, then that might help you for now. But if you want to beat a fat loss plateau, then you’ll need all the help you can get, and that includes getting the latest fat loss info found in Turbulence Training.

(Plus, with Turbulence Training you get a lot more bonuses, and a lot less supplement advertising!)

I came across an awesome success story of a mother of two who used to weigh 300 pounds. Being caught up in raising her children without taking time out for herself played a part in her gradual weight gain. Before she knew it, she was tipping the scales at 300 lbs. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence for many people.

She contemplated weight-loss surgery but fortunately she was referred to a good personal trainer, changed her eating habits, and utilized intervals in her workout program:

Today, at age 49, Jacobs weighs less than 150 pounds. She runs an interval program on the treadmill 30 minutes every morning and evening, averaging 8 to 9 miles per hour. She continues to strength train with Eacrett three days a week at the gym. She’s so dedicated to healthy eating that she doesn’t even like to take “cheat” days when he tells her to.

Celebration and sensibility

I enjoy reading about interval training in the news. I found an article on Wakeboarder.com which talks about off-season conditioning for wakeboarders. If you are not familiar with wakeboarding, it is a water sport which involves riding a wakeboard while being pulled behind a boat. It is sort of like water skiing but also utilizes surfing and snowboarding techniques.

Here is an excerpt from the article which discusses the use of interval training:

I recommend wakeboarders condition 2-3 days/week in the off-season, and interval training is the preferred method. Interval training consists of periods of intense work alternated with bouts of low intensity/recovery work. Intervals are typically 15-60 sec. in duration, and recovery periods are typically 1-3 times the duration of the work interval. So, for example, if your work interval consists of riding a stationary bike at 25 mph for 30 seconds, your recovery period may be 30-90 seconds long while riding at 10-12 mph. Interval training, as opposed to steady state traditional cardiovascular training, is the best way to condition the heart and lungs, and will transfer better to the water.

Intervals aren’t only great for general fitness and weight loss, but also for staying conditioned for all types of sports.
