But let’s get started with our top transformation tips.

Monday – May 4th – TT Transformation Contest #5 Starts.

In this week’s transformation, I’m going to give you 10 tips to transform safely and effectively. Alright, let’s go!

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.

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 Turbulence Training programs 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. images

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.

Friday
Let’s review the interval training fat burning workouts from the Turbulence Training Beginner program.

It’s best that you click here to listen to the call for more details.

Beginner Interval Workout A

  • Warm-up for 5 minutes using the same mode of exercise you will use for intervals (i.e. if you are going to run for intervals, make sure you warm-up with running, progressing from light to more intense exercise).
  • Exercise for 1 minute at a hard pace (at a subjective 8/10 level of effort).
  • Follow that with “active rest” for 2 minutes by exercising at a slow pace (at a subjective 3/10 level of effort).
  • Repeat for a total of 4 intervals.
  • Finish with 5 minutes of very low intensity (3/10) exercise for a cool-down.

Beginner Interval Workout B

  • Warm-up for 5 minutes using the same mode of exercise you will use for intervals (i.e. if you are going to run for intervals, make sure you warm-up with running, progressing from light to more intense exercise).
  • Perform an interval by exercising for 2 minutes at a hard pace (at a subjective 7/10 level of effort).
  • Follow that with “active rest” for 2 minutes by exercising at a slow pace (at a subjective 3/10 level of effort).
  • Repeat for a total of 3 intervals.
  • Finish with 5 minutes of very low intensity (3/10) exercise for a cool-down.

Social Support Saturday!
Who you associate with is more important than you could ever imagine. Do not accept anything less than the best – otherwise you are cheating yourself.

There are 5 keys to social support…(and again, listen to the call for my in-depth explanation!)

  1. Health professional
  2. Workout partner who can lose fat
  3. Online social support for fat loss
  4. Nutrition buddy at work
  5. Family/spouse

Sunday – Plan, Shop & Prepare
Get your 30 minutes of activity and then get out there and plan, shop, & prepare!

On this week’s call, I talk about the TT Food Pyramid, where you should eat healthy, high-fiber and low-sugar whole foods such as…

  • vegetables (broccoli, peppers, and greens)
  • fruit (oranges, apples, strawberries, & blueberries)
  • raw nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts)
  • lean protein (lean beef, chicken, & fish)

And include these other foods at your discretion based on how many extra calories you have each day, and remember, keep your reward calories to 10% each week.

  • whole grains (oatmeal and multi-grain bread)
  • reward foods

Whew! Big call this week…and I know that will give you a huge head start on your Turbulence Training Transformation.
