The Perfect Workout For Busy Gyms



By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

Imagine you’re about to workout and suddenly notice it requires two different dumbbell weights or two different machines, used back to back without rest (a superset).
Now this sometimes isn’t a problem, but usually the gym is busy, making it virtually impossible to quickly get through the workout as it was intended. UGHH!
So what are you supposed to do?
Well, you could…
  1. Stockpile dumbbells around your bench - this will surely anger others around you.  Plus, with the gym so busy to begin with, you probably wouldn’t be able to grab more than one set of dumbbells anyways.
  2. Ask someone if you can work-in with them on a machine, or borrow their dumbbells. Since you’ll now be accommodating someone else’s workout, you’ll inevitably have more rest time, and ultimately lengthen your own workout.   
Now while these suggestions can work, they’re NOT recommended for those who want maximum results in minimum time.
And so that’s precisely why I designed Turbulence Training 2K6.
With this workout at your disposal, you should be able to use the same dumbbell weight for pairs of exercises in a superset, or you’ll find that I’ve combined a dumbbell exercise with a bodyweight exercise.  So you’ll no longer need to change your weight or get new equipment for the second exercise.
Plus, if you want either a little variation from the traditional interval training workouts or just simply an off-day workout, then you’ll love the “Total Body Ten” bodyweight workout that I’ve also included in the program.
I’m pretty sure neither of the two scenarios listed above sounded very appealing, especially if it’s results you’re after.  And when all is said and done, TT 2K6 is a great way to help you overcome busy gyms. In fact, you’ll be flying through these workouts so fast that you probably won’t even know how packed the gym is!

Fat Burning Blackberry Smoothie Recipe

A couple days ago I was at the farmers market and they had blackberries very cheap so I got a few containers. Normally I'm not a big fan of blackberries but they were like $1.50 per 6 ounce container and I knew I could find something to do with them.

The first container was used over a couple bowls of my famous cereal concoctions. For those who haven't seen my cereal recipes, it usually has two types of cereal, kefir as opposed to milk, and about 5 other ingredients like nuts, seeds, and random fruit. Its always a production. Lately I've been on an amaranth flake and granola base, almonds, pumpkin seed, flax seed, sliced apples, and blueberries kick. Oh and don't forget the organic plain kefir or yogurt instead of milk. It makes all the difference.
OK back to my story. So its been about 4 days now since I bought these blackberries and I have the second pack sitting in their completely untouched. I knew they had to be used quickly but I wasn't sure how. It seemed the obvious answer would be the blender. Problem was that I had almost no other fruit other than bananas and apples and I'm not a huge fan of apple peel in my smoothies, Yes I know I could peel it but I hate throwing away nutrients.
Anyway, I thought about it last night and wasn't sure about a banana blackberry smoothie but when I woke up this morning, it seemed like a great idea for some reason. Seemed to me that the banana would serve to mellow out the tart blackberries so I tried it. At first I put in the banana and then I dumped in the whole package of blackberries. Next for a liquid base I put in some kefir (if you don't know, kefir is like a liquid yogurt beverage which is extremely healthy and is a better pro-biotic source than yogurt. You can find it in specialty shops and health food stores).

Now if you've every used blackberries in a smoothie you know the amazing deep purple that comes from it. An entire package of blackberries was fun to watch. Once that was done I tried it and it was great but since it was breakfast, I knew I needed some fat and protein. Next I added 3 tblsp natural peanut butter, 1 tblsp of olive oil, and one scoop of whey protein.
It was thick, but it taste kind of ;ie a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a glass! I gotta say I really loved it. Tastes great, high calories, high protein, and very dense in vitamins and minerals.

Top Muscle Building Foods You Can’t Grow Without

By Vince Del Monte – Author, No Nonsense Muscle Building

In less than two weeks I’ll be attending my first Mr. Olympia showdown in Las Vegas, and I’m extremely excited to watch the most prestigious bodybuilding contest in the world. To get the inside scoop on the top muscle building foods, I went directly to the top contenders, the athletes themselves, who have provided their pre-training diet below.

Below you will find Jay Cutlers’s pre-training diet and I would like to look for the overlapping food choices – consequently, you must conclude these are the top muscle building foods you can’t grow without.

The famous motivational speaker, Tony Robbins would tell you, “Success leaves clues.” That’s powerful. This means you can learn that methods that someone is using to succeed, then you can do the same thing! Modeling and duplicating their food choices is a great place to begin when experimenting with different food options to build your physique.

Tony Robbins also says, “If you want to achieve success, all you need to do is find a way to model those who have already succeeded.” I ask you to look past the anabolic steroids and drugs these athletes take and study the food selection below. Even if Jay, Branch and Victor did not use steroids to support their training, I will bet a million dollars that they would still eat the same food choices below, the only modification would be the amounts.

Jay Cutler’s Sample 10 Weeks Out:

Wake Up: Fat burning pills, 40 minutes cardio

Meal 1: 15 egg whites, 6 oz. steak, 1/2 avocado, 4 packs of grits, 1/2 gallon water

Meal 2: 12-16 oz. chicken breast, 12 oz. sweet potato

Meal 3: 12-16 oz. steak, 12 oz. red potato

Workout

Meal 5: Whey protein

Meal 6: 12-16 oz. chicken, 1 and 1/2 cups white rice

Meal 7: 15 egg whites, 6 oz. steak, 1/2 avocado

Does Hoodia Really Work For Fat Loss?


Hoodia - Does Hoodia Really Work For Fat Loss?



By Vince DelMonte

If you are anxious to get fat loss going, you've likely looked into the diet supplement, hoodia. Hoodia gordonii is a plant that was used in South African many years ago by hunters who would need to go for long durations of time without food and grows very slowly in harsh conditions and needs to be harvested for four to five years before it's ready.

But how well does Hoodia really work for fat loss? Many people turn to hoodia thinking it is the answer to all their prayers. Never hungry? Sounds like a dietary dream. After all, following a diet should be easy if you never have any feelings of hunger, shouldn't it?

Unfortunately, it isn't so simple.

First off, if you are a trying to get a lean, sexy midsection, not eating is the last thing you want to be doing. Sure, you definitely will need to eat less in order to lose body fat, but if you aren't eating enough, you'll actually just lose muscle rather than body fat. Since muscle tissue is your calorie burning engine, destroying it would be counterproductive to getting the results you want.

Who wants a slower metabolism at the end of the day? That'll just make further fat loss next to impossible.

If hoodia is affecting your natural hunger signals, it will be hard to get in the foods that you do need - the foods that will work with your body to lose the body fat while still keeping muscle tissue intact.

Secondly, you must understand that hoodia is not a thoroughly tested product and cannot be deemed safe. If you take enough of it, it can actually damage your metabolism, causing a variety of thyroid issues that will be stuck with you into the future. While fat loss and getting abs is important, you must do it a healthy way so that you don't do anything disrupting to your health.

Finally, hoodia diet pills are by no means a proper method to losing abdominal fat. In order to lose abdominal fat, you're going to have to find a method that will be sustainable over the long term. If you think that you're just going to skip eating for the years to come, you are very mistaken. You will not get the proper nutrients you need to sustain life, therefore, to put it bluntly, using hoodia as a means to help you maintain fat loss could very well put you in the hospital with severe malnutrition.

What you need is a diet that supplies all the nutrients you need, while still being affective with stomach fat loss. Then, you'll also need to make sure this diet is something you can work into your lifestyle so that your abs aren't going to be just covered up by more body fat again once you move off the diet.

The more time you waste chasing after gimmicky supplements that only hurt you in the long run, the more time you spend without the results you are after.
