TT Metabolic Resistance Training Welcome from Craig Ballantyne & Turbulence Training… First, you’re probably wondering, “What exactly is metabolic resistance training?” And the answer is that almost every Turbulence Training program falls under this definition. Anytime you use supersets or circuits and train with an elevated heart rate and insufficient recovery, you are doing metabolic resistance training. But this program is different. We’ve modified the heavy metabolic resistance training and also incorporated metabolic resistance conditioning using lighter resistance, and less rest. So you’ll get 4 workouts, broken down into these two components. Two workouts of heavy metabolic resistance training and two workouts of metabolic conditioning. The heavy workouts are done first, and are followed immediately the next day by the conditioning workouts. This program was heavily influenced by an interview I did with legendary fat loss coach, Alwyn Cosgrove, for my Turbulence Training Certified Trainers. I may make this interview available to non-trainers in a new advanced inner circle training newsletter (printed, and delivered directly to your doorstep). Stay tuned for more details. Until then, get ready to use a few new exercises and a few training methods we haven’t used before to elevated in-workout and after-workout calorie burning. And perhaps curse me like you’ve never cursed me before. So bring on the metabolism boosting resistance and conditioning.

10 Tips to Train SAFE! It is very important for all of us to train conservatively and not overdo things. 1) Don't do any exercise that you aren't sure how to do. Always get personal instruction from a certified trainer. 2) Don't do anything that hurts or "doesn't feel right". There are plenty of alternative exercises for every movement. Just ask us on the Turbulence Training forum for substitutions at www.TTmembers.com. 3) Whenever you start a NEW program, use lighter weights than normal, and only 1 set per exercise. You must expect extra soreness when starting a new program just because of the new exercises, so don't try to set world records in a new program right away. 4) If you need extra recovery within the workout or between workouts, don't hesitate to take it. Safety first. 5) Use a spotter if you are training with heavy weights. If you train alone at home, follow my recommendations in the manual and do NOT train to failure. 6) Check your ego at the gym door and start with the easier alternative exercises if appropriate, even if you have exercised in the past. The new exercises, and new style of movements will cause muscle soreness even from workouts you think "look easy". 7) Do NOT do interval training more than 4 times per week. Even pro athletes don't play hard everyday, so why should we? 8) Never skip a warm-up. Use the general bodyweight warm-ups and the specific warmup sets in each TT workout. 9) If you want to start TT but think you have an injury, get medical attention and have a professional therapist rehabilitate your injury before starting an exercise program. 10) Check with your doctor before starting any new exercise or diet program. All together now, "Safety first!" Bonus 11) If you decide to use running as your form of interval training, make sure you have good running shoes, always do an extra thorough warm-up, and choose a safe running surface (grass or trails rather than pavement/concrete). If you use a treadmill, please operate it safely.
