What Are Turbulence Training Workouts?

Turbulence Training Workouts have become quite popular recently, especially since famous trainer, Jillian Michaels, of the popular TV show The Biggest Loser, recommended these workouts to her public as a sure way to lose fat fast and firm up.

Turbulence Training is a fitness oriented weight loss program created by expert trainer, Craig Ballantyne. The entire program is built on workouts which are short but highly intensive. This is done because the target audience of TurbulenceTraining are busy, time-crunched people who can't afford to spend hours at the gym, who have jobs, family, and other obligations but still want to have a lean firm body.

There are many kind of Turbulence Training workouts, but what they have in common are the following things:

* They are full body strength and resistance workouts
* They incorporate high intensity interval cardio exercises
* They are high intensity workouts
* The workouts tend to be short
* Most of them are bodyweight workouts
* They all burn a lot of fat and strain the muscles so that you get a full and rewarding workout every time

Reviews of these workouts tend to be positive. You can hear what Jillian Michaels said about it here: Jillian Michaels on Turbulence Training but this isn't such an easy program to follow, especially in the beginning when you're not that fit. Beware: these workouts tend to become addictive. You might go overboard when you do them so pace yourself and develop your fitness level slowly.

Doing these workouts will require a commitment on your part as you need to give it a little time to see results. However, if you're looking to tone up, lose fat, and increase your energy levels, I recommend that you do these workouts on a regular basis.

Body Bot Review - The Workout Robot

Just 5 days ago, I got a membership to an exciting new workout tool called BodyBot which was created by Ryan Lee (the renowned trainer). I thought it will interest you to know what I thought about Body Bot.

So here goes my body bot review:

Body Bot isn't really a robot, it's an online based video program which allows you to create our own workout sessions.

Now, I know that you may be thinking that this is a complicated software which will require a lot out of you to operate, but in fact, it's very simple to use:

You login to your membership page and then you choose which body part you want to workout. You do it with a click of a mouse.

After you're decided which body part you want to workout, you get a wide selection of different body bot exercises to choose from. Each of these exercises works the body part you've chosen. Each exercise that you choose is in fact a 20 second video in which Ryan Lee does the exercise along with you. All right there on your computer screen inside your Body Bot member's page.

You drag with your mouse the exercise you want and place it in a slot at the bottom of your screen. You repeat that with 8 different exercises (in any ordr that you want) and you have a 4 minute workout session which is tailor made for you. You can of course, change it as often as you like. The entire Body Bot experience is very easy.

Now, you just play the workout session and follow what Ryan Lee is doing. It's as simple as that.

The best thing about Body Bot is its versatility. You can create a huge number of different variations of workouts so you never get bored and are always motivated.

I highly recommend this piece of software. It can give you the perfect home workout which is short and intensive.
