Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably witnessed Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training taking the Internet by storm. Of course, newspapers and magazines are also propagating the madness. However, one question needs to be addresses: Is Turbulence Training just a rehash of old material?
Turbulence Training Basics
According to Turbulence Training, certain exercises are deemed "a waste of time". This program is designed to be quick and efficient with no wasted motion. Now, for most people, this is a great thing because of the sheer lack of time allocated for exercises.
Basically, we are looking to ramp up the metabolism using a phenomenon called Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). We all know that oxygen use is a direct correlation to calorie burn.
So what's the answer?
1. Exercising using compound movements only. Forget about your tricep kickbacks and your curls. Stick to exercises like bench press and rows.
2. No slow, boring cardio. Interval training is in. Slow cardio can (and will) actually take your hard earned muscle and turn it into energy. Your body tends to become more efficient.
3. No more 1.5 hour workouts. Train like a sprinter.
Now, these aren't the only principles of Turbulence Training... there are more. And, Craig Ballantyne isn't the only person talking this way either. In actuality, more and more elite trainers are ditching the "old school" ways of cardiovascular exercise and switching over to interval training and full body workouts to faciliate the fat burning process.
What you do is totally up to you. However, I do know that the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same things but expecting difference results. Make sure to give Turbulence Training a try if your workouts are leaving you with less than expected results.
