Angie’s Plan for Ultimate Fat Loss

So, this is my plan for this week. I am going to do zig-zagging calories. That is when you eat low calories (300 less than maintenance) for 3 days and than have one high day (maintenance). I have done it before and had great results for it and since I only have 18 days left to get my BF down to 17%, I thought I would give it a try. What it does is work your metabolism a bit. So, my low days will be at 1614 calories with ratios of
C 153/P 137/F 50. My ratios are 38%C – 34%P – 28% F. High days will be C 201/P 179/F 66.

Here are my meals for tomorrow:

Did I do well with my goals the past week?

I feel that I did ok, but know I could have done better. My workouts were great, as always, but my eating, not all the best. I HAVE to plan my meals. It’s not that I always overeat, but that I think I under eat. So todays meals are planned and I will plan the rest of my week, because I need to reach my goal! Only 24 days left to lose 1.9% BF. I can do it, I KNOW I can do it!

If you recall..a couple weeks ago I did a post “Is Cardio Making Us Fat?”. Well, tested that theory, in a way. Since this post, I have only done body weight circuits and only 2 per week and 3 sets. I just didn’t feel that for ME in my current fitness state, it was enough and my BF shows it. Since stopping the intervals on the bike (and not to say that my eating habits since then haven’t played a part in this also) my body fat has gone up from 17.8 to 19.0. Yea, not to happy with that. So, for ME, I think LACK of cardio makes ME FAT! LOL

So, this week I am going to do 2 days of intervals on the elliptical and maybe 2 day of lower bodyweight circuit.Then also do my 3 days of Turbulence Training AND PLAN MY MEALS! Carmel and I decided CLEAN eating every day, but 3 free meals per week, just to keep us going.

So I did take my measurements and while they aren’t that bad, its the BF that bugs me….but I plan on fixing that! ;)

What is Turbulence Training??

Since I am always talking about my Turbulence Training workouts, I thought I would share this email from Craig Ballantyne, author of Turbulence Training. I just cannot say enough about these workouts. I feel they are the greatest!!

————————————————————————————————————————-
What is Turbulence Training?

Turbulence training is my method of doing strength training
and interval training in one workout. So that you get in and out of
the gym whether it’s your home gym or whether it’s a commercial
gym. You get your workout done in 45 minutes.

We start with a 5-minute bodyweight warm up and then we do strength
training for 20 minutes, whether it’s bodyweight training or
dumbbells. Sometimes we use barbells but most people that I work
with train at home so we just use dumbbells and bodyweight
exercises – no fancy equipment needed.

Then we finish with 20 minutes of interval training. We are using
the most efficient and effective training methods. The stuff that
gets you the most results in the least amount of time. So we are
not doing long, slow cardio sessions and we’re not doing 5 or 6 day
per week bodybuilding training programs.

It’s like the old business principle – 80% of your results come
from 20% of your efforts – so why do endless amounts of cardio and
redundant strength training exercises?

Do only what you need to do and then get out of the gym.

PS – Lose 4 inches in 2 weeks with Turbulence Training…

“With Turbulence Training, I could definitely feel the improvement
in my energy level. And I didn’t realize the improvement in my body
composition until I had to go dress shopping. The salesperson
actually had to grab me the smaller sizes off the mannequin in the
window display! The highlight of the wedding for me was the look of
shock on a friend’s face after he poked my tummy and said, ‘Wow,
someone’s been working out!’ Thanks, Craig for the great program
and for your continued support.”
JJ Hodgson, Saskatoon, SK

“I have been a personal trainer for four years and I enlisted my
buddy to join me in Turbulence Training. Frank had never worked out
in his life! He weighed in at 280 lbs. After two weeks, that’s
right two weeks, he calls me from the mall to inform me he just
purchased a new pair of jeans size 38. I replied, “So what?” Frank
said “I’ve been a 42 since high school….I lost 4 inches in two
weeks”. After four weeks he lost 17 lbs. and started to notice
muscle gain (even his wife noticed the muscle growth).”

Turbo Tagger

Really need to focus on FAT LOSS!

It’s time to step AWAY from the computer and get my butt in gear! Ok..I looked AMAZING after our last 2 week clean eat challenge. Then I just let myself go and now….oh whoa is me.. :(

Plus with devoting all my time to my websites and stuff, I have been slacking on the meal planning and eating right. I guess what made me finally “snap out of it” was having to wear shorts! YIKES! Not very happy with the way my legs look.

So with that said, I am going to get me some CLA, which you can find here Vitacost.com or Bodybuilding.com

CLA has been shown to play a vital role in reducing body fat and increasing muscle retention and I have used it before and has worked. My goal is to hit that 17% mark by the end of May. Can I do it? Well I am sure as heck going to try!

I am going to lower my calories on days I don’t do my Turbulence Training workouts and on days I do my TT workout, just make sure to eat a little bit more. No more snacking on crud-just clean eating! Today I am going to refigure my maintenance and go from there figuring my calories.

On another note, I signed up for my Personal Training Course! I got the ebook manual, but still waiting for the manuals in the mail! I am so excited about this! I am hoping to start reading this weekend and also start painting the room I will plan to use as my workout room for clients!

Weight Loss for Women At Home

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
www.TurbulenceTraining.com

A woman’s workout should consist of leg raises, biceps curls with
soup cans, and triceps kickbacks with water
bottles.

Can you believe that silliness?

Neither can I, but that is what passes for “professional fitness
advice for women” these days.

I could see this info being accepted in the 1930′s (maybe?), but in the year 2007? Please…

Does anyone really believe that biceps curls with water bottles is going to prepare women to carry their children to bed,
a bag of heavy groceries in from the car, or swing a sledgehammer during home reno’s?

No way. You need real-world workouts and fat loss advice. Not fluff.

Am I the only one that finds those types of recommendations
disrespectful to the physical capabilities of women?
You’d think
that Linda Hamilton’s chin-up scene in Terminator 2 would have turned the tide of female fitness, or
perhaps Demi Moore’s GI Jane.

I’ve watched women get fit fast at almost any age with Turbulence Training. In fact, we’ve had girls from 18 to 82 years
young kickin’ butt with Turbulence Training.

Today, I want to share the story of a classic “supermom”, you know the mom with 3 active kids that has to drive
them everywhere, eat on the run, and still find room for workouts. Her name is Brandy Kirton, and she’ll show you how real
women train, eat, and find the time to do it all with proper planning.

CB: Brandy, tell us about your past exercise and nutrition experiences. At what point did you find out about
Turbulence Training and what persuaded you to start using it?

BK:
I started working out back on high school. I’m 30 now.

I became a personal trainer for a few years in my early 20′s. So I learned a lot about nutrition and weight training. I
have been in great shape and not so great shape in the last 10 years. I think I found Turbulence Training just surfing the
web and decided to give it a try. I was desperate to lose weight after my 3rd kid.

CB: And how was this a change from what you had done in the past?

BK:
I was doing 30 minutes of cardio and then lifted for 30 mins
3 to 4 times a
week. That was if I actually could make time.

I would not work out if I knew I couldnt get it all in. I
would
think, “What’s the point of 20 mins?”.

CB: What kind of results have
you achieved with Turbulence Training? And is there anything else, besides the results, you love about the Turbulence
Training programs?

BK:
I love how it changes every month so I never get bored. I also love that I have no excuse
about not having time to fit it in.

My results have been great. I am getting toned up and consistently loosing inches. I also have a lot more energy.

CB: Do you workout at home or in a gym?

BK:
I have to work out at home. No time to get to a gym.

CB: Has Turbulence Training had a positive impact on your lifestyle?

BK:
Turbulence Training has made a huge impact on me. I dont feel like it takes up my whole
day or get bored of the same thing day in and day out.

I feel strong and love the daily emails. It helps me stay motivated.

I work full time, have three kids 9, 5, and 11 months, and a
husband. My older two kids play every sports so
there really
is no extra time.

I have to get up at 5:30 to work out before they wake up but its
worth it. I feel great after I am done and no
matter what happens that day I have already got my work out in which feels great.

CB: Do you have any social support? If so, how has this helped
you?

BK:
My mom comes over in the mornings to work out with me. I need that accountability so that I
don’t sleep instead. Its hard to get up but I always feel so much better when I do.

CB: What are your daily obstacles and temptations that you have to avoid with respect to nutrition and training?
And what
strategies do you use?

BK:
With all the practices, games and running around I have to do its hard not to grab
McDonald’s with the kids.

I try to either bring food with me or wait until I get home. If I
have to eat out I do try and find grilled
chicken or subway.

CB: How do you plan your nutrition?

BK:
I have to go shopping on Sunday to stock up on all my healthy
food. Otherwise I
will eat whatever I can find which usually is not good for me.

CB: Thanks Brandy, keep up the great work.

****
The message is clear. Plan, prepare, commit, and be consistent.
Brandy didn’t use any magic pills
or potions to succeed, she simply found a great workout plan, and did what she had to do.

As a supermom, Brandy practically has to create time out of thin air in order to do her workout, but again, she knows what
she has to do and she does it. She’s committed. She has social support. She knows the correct options for eating on the
run.

She has made the effort to plan for the obstacles (lack of time,
workout motivation) that we all come across.
And by doing that,
she’s cleared a simple path to success.

And she doesn’t waste time in the gym with slow, boring cardio
workouts. Instead, she sculpts her body in half
the time with the
Turbulence Training workouts.

Sincerely,
