One thing I enjoy about Craig Ballentyne’s videos is that his workouts are simple yet effective. That is the beauty of interval training. Most of the time you don’t need anything other than your own body to workout. Other equipment is usually very basic like dumbbells and a small bench. Below is a great demonstration of how you can do some dynamic stretching for warming up your body before getting into an interval routine.

This is a great video which takes a peek into Craig Ballantyne’s fridge. In this video he gives up dairy, alcohol, sugar, and caffeine (for the month of June.) He gives up those items for the month of June as a way to help avoid “diet creep” as he calls it. It’s easy to fall into our old eating habits once we have reached some success in our fitness and weight loss goals.

It’s a good idea to try when you feel yourself reverting to your old ways. Simply try giving up one thing for a month to keep on track with eating healthy. You can learn more about Craig on his web site.

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!

If you were looking for some variety as well as a way to incorporate kettlebell training, this may be just what you’re looking for:

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.
