About Craig Ballantyne & Turbulence Training

Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, M.Sc., is a Strength & Conditioning coach in Toronto, author of
Turbulence Training, a contributing author to Men’s Health and Women’s Health
magazines, and a member of the Training Advisory Board for Inside Fitness and Oxygen
magazines.

With Turbulence Training I've put together short, quality fat loss workouts for men and
women to do at home with minimal equipment. The programs use a lot of bodyweight
moves and dumbell exercises, and the workouts change every 4 weeks because I truly
believe variety is one of the main principles for success when you are trying to change
your body in any way.

Craig also has an advanced research background, completing a Master’s of Science


Degree in Exercise Physiology from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Craig continues to study the latest training, supplementation, and nutrition research that
will help improve client’s health and wellness as well as their physical and mental
performance.

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 warm-
up 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.

31-Day Fat Loss Plan to Start 2009


This is your 31-day step-by-step guide to fat loss. If you apply all of the lifestyle changes
you’ll find that making the correct and healthy choices is easier and more effective. Plus,
if you follow this easy to use schedule, you won’t find these changes overbearing. In fact,
you’ll look forward to one new challenge everyday – until this new lifestyle is a habit.

January 1st – Clear out the cobwebs. Start the exercise program with a “practice round” of
Workout A. Exercise conservatively, work at your own level, and stick to the TT
guidelines. Perform every exercise with perfect technique. Just do one set of each
exercise in this first workout!

January 2nd – Get 30 minutes of fun activity. Go for a hike if you have the day off work.
Then commit to eliminating all sources of liquid calories and replace these drinks with
water and Green Tea. Start to enter your food intake on Fitday.com and continue to do
so for the next 5-7 days.

January 3rd – Do a “practice round” of Workout B. Exercise conservatively and stick to


the TT guidelines. Perform every exercise with perfect technique. Just one set of each
exercise in this first workout! Recruit social support partners. Get a nutrition buddy at
work, a workout partner for the gym (if applicable), or a personal trainer if possible, and
start using the forums at www.TTmembers.com for online social support.

January 4th – Get 30 minutes of fun activity. Is there some fun activity you can do with
your family? Clean out cupboards and prepare a healthy shopping list. Plan, shop, and
prepare and do some massive shopping and cooking preparation for the week ahead. Plan
two solutions for every nutrition obstacle that comes up each week.

January 5th – Do a full Workout A. After, spend 30 minutes setting goals for the next 7
days, 4 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year. Do 3 goals for each. If you haven’t already, pick up
a copy of my favorite goal-setting program from www.MagicFatBurning.com.

January 6th – Get 30 minutes of fun activity. If you really like to do cardio, then go ahead
and do 30 minutes at a 6/10 intensity level – but no harder! Finish off with 5 minutes of
deep, stress-relieving breathing. Breathe through your belly. Get rid of that stress!

January 7th – Do a full Workout B. Complete your 7 day food entry on Fitday.com and
review the results to help you organize your shopping list.

January 8th – Get 30 minutes of fun activity. Do extra stretching today. Either try a Yoga
class or go through the stretches at the end of this manual 2-3 times (but don’t stretch too
hard no matter which option you choose).

31-Day Fat Loss Plan to Start 2009


January 9th – Do a full Workout C. Start easy. Use 30% of your regular dumbbell chest
press weight. Take extra breaks if you need to. Do only 2 rounds of the 10x10 circuit.

January 10th – Get 30 minutes of fun activity and pick an activity you really like to do
(yoga, sport, martial art, dance) and make it a regular habit on Saturdays. This can be
done on your own or with your social support group. Always be accountable to your
support group. This will encourage you to stick with the exercise and nutrition program.

January 11th – Get 30 minutes of activity and then review your nutrition. Make sure that
you are eating 6 small meals per day rather than 2-3 large meals. Spread your protein,
fiber, fruits and vegetables throughout the day to help you reduce your appetite and keep
your energy levels up.

January 12th – Do Workout A and visualize yourself reaching your goals. Keep a positive
attitude and you will remain motivated and you will continue to make progress.

January 13th – Get 30 minutes of activity. Do a combination of bodyweight exercises,


stretching, and dumbbell or kettlebell swings. Keep the workout at a 6/10 intensity level,
no harder!

January 14th – Workout B. Make sure you are doing things correctly. Hire a trainer for
one session and make them a part of your support team. To help you stick to your
workouts, book each exercise session like any other appointment in your daily schedule.
Let nothing, except real emergencies, come between you and your workouts.

January 15th – Get 30 minutes of activity. If you are stressed out, try yoga on your off day
exercise. Just don’t stretch too hard, as you can overstretch and get hurt. Plus, make an
effort to eat one new fruit and one new vegetable today. If you aren’t already eating
apples, try one today and see how it helps fill you up because it contains a lot of soluble
fiber called pectin. Add a new vegetable to your dinner.

January 16th – Workout C. Try to increase the weight you use compared to last workout.
Always try to improve your performance to improve your physique. Make sure that you
have taken your before photos for the Turbulence Training Transformation Contest.

January 17th – Get 30 minutes of activity. Take a hike today. Then spend 30 minutes on
the www.ttmembers.com forum giving and getting social support.

31-Day Fat Loss Plan to Start 2009


January 18th – Get 30 minutes of activity with your family and plan ahead for the next
week and do all of your grocery shopping and meal preparation. Do some extra cooking,
chop your vegetables and wash your fruit. By doing this, you will be prepared to avoid
unhealthy eating situations that lead you to cheat on your plan.

January 19th – Do Workout A and then review your nutrition to eliminate all sources of
trans-fatty acids from your diet. Trans-fats hide in cereals, baked goods, crackers, and
fast food.

January 20th – Get 30 minutes of activity. If the weather is bad and you need to go to the
gym and do 30 minutes of cardio, that’s fine, if you like it. Do 10 minutes on 3 different
machines at a 6/10 intensity level.

January 21st – Do Workout B and then review your water intake and confirm that you are
consuming enough water each day to keep you hydrated and healthy, as well as using
water to stay full.

January 22nd – Get 30 minutes of activity with a friend who you haven’t visited with in
months. Catch up and pass the time with a long walk or by playing a sport.

January 23rd – Do Workout C, increasing the amount of weight used by 5% compared to


the week before.

January 24th – Get 30 minutes of activity bright and early so that you have the rest of the
day free for visiting with friends and members of your fat loss social support groups
online and offline. If you haven’t signed-up already, go to www.Twitter.com and make
an account and then start posting your daily meals on here for accountability. Make sure
to follow me at www.Twitter.com/CraigBallantyne

January 25th – Get 30 minutes of activity with your family. Plan, shop, & prepare for the
week ahead. Make sure to include 1 new fruit and 1 new vegetable in your grocery list.
Variety in your nutrition is very important, so try a new fruit today such as blackberries,
blueberries, or raspberries.

January 26th – Do Workout A. Check your fiber intake and make sure you meet the
recommended intake (up to 35 grams per day). Eat more almonds to get fiber and keep
your appetite in check.

January 27th – Get at least 30 minutes of activity. Try an activity that you haven’t done
for years or if you’ve always wanted to take dance lessons, start today! Have fun on your
off-days. Exercise doesn’t have to be punishment.

31-Day Fat Loss Plan to Start 2009


January 28th – Do Workout B and then thoroughly review your nutrition. Check the
number of calories you are consuming. Are you still eating too much? Are you eating too
little (less than 1500 calories)? Review the Turbulence Training Nutrition for Fat Loss e-
book for guidance.

January 29th – Get 30 minutes of activity using easy bodyweight exercises and static
stretching from the end of this manual. Go very slow in each exercise to focus on the
muscle groups working in each movement.

January 30th – Do Workout C. Try an alternative source of lean protein at dinner, such as
lean beef or salmon (in case you have been eating only chicken and tuna).

January 31st – Get 30 minutes of activity and finish off by dropping by the Turbulence
Training forum at www.TTMembers.com to post your latest results. Congratulations!
