Time to deliver the latest scientific research
showing that you can burn an extra 450% more calories by
using a specific type of short, burst workout.
Let's get right into this incredible interview I recently did with a large newsletter.
1. What is the biggest mistake you've seen people make when they
get started on a program for losing fat?
Answer:
Great question.
It's heartbreaking really, but everyday I see so many busy men and
women chained to the treadmill and elliptical cardio machines.
Unfortunately, that doesn't get them any results. And each week
they come into the gym looking the same - or in many cases, worse.
It's really sad because I know these folks have families, friends,
and hobbies that they'd rather be spending their time with. But I
know they are bothered about their stubborn belly fat, and so they
continue to come back to what I call, "The Cardio Confessional"
where they pray that results will come (although they never do).
Study after study proves that cardio just doesn't work for weight
loss. A moderate amount of this type of low-intensity exercise is
fine for your health but it is absolutely worthless if you want to
lose belly fat.
2. Really? Cardio is that bad for you? Why is that?
Answer:
Yes, it's the truth all right, the politically incorrect truth,
too. I say that because many fitness companies survive only because
they are able to sell the Cardio LIE to gym members or to folks
buying an expensive treadmill, bike, or elliptical machine for home.
If everyone knew that, a LOT of gyms would go out of business, and
equipment manufacturers too.
What most folks don't know is that cardio machines dramatically
over-estimate the number of calories burned in an exercise session.
According to Shape magazine, the elliptical machine is the worst
offender, over-estimating the number of calories burned per workout
by a whopping 42%!
That's borderline criminal. It's like having the speedometer in
your car tell you that you're going 30 miles per hour when you're
actually going 60. It's extremely dangerous.
That's just one reason you're not losing weight despite the hours
that you exercise each week. Cardio also increases your appetite
and doesn't give you a post-workout afterburn (I'll explain the
importance of this amazing effect in a moment.)
It's just not fair. And that's why so many folks struggle. Not to
mention the fact that doing the same long, slow exercise sessions
every day can cause knee pain, back pain, loss of muscle, and
accelerated aging.
Cardio has about 10 strikes against it. It should have been called
out a long time ago!
3. What should people do instead of cardio, is there another type
of workout that's more effective?
Answer:
That's your best question yet, and brings us to the actual science
of fat loss.
According to researchers from all over the globe, including
America, Britain, China, Japan, Australia, and Canada, the best way
to exercise for fat loss is to use short, burst workouts. These
workouts cause the "afterburn" effect in your body, elevating your
metabolism for almost two days after each short exercise session.
It's like doing three or four workouts at once, but in half the
time of a single cardio session.
These unique short burst workouts do NOT require any fancy
equipment. You can do them in just a small space in your living
room, basement, garage, or even a mega-busy commercial gym.
In fact, I created a 16-week program (that also delivers an
additional 8 weeks of beginner and intermediate workouts) to help
busy men and women lose fat fast - while building muscle, too, if
that's their goal.
I call this trademarked system, Turbulence Training.
And a new study recently proved that these short, under-30
minute workouts can help you boost your calorie burning by
over 450% compared to a normal workout.
Italian researchers put subjects through a one hour traditional
weight training workout or a 22-minute high-intensity interval
resistance workout (like you would do in Turbulence Training).
The traditional workout increased 22-hour post-workout afterburn
by only 98 calories. But the high-intensity interval resistance
workout boosted afterburn by over 450 calories!
That's the power of using short, burst workouts to burn fat,
and why you don't need to exercise as much when you are using
the Turbulence Training System to transform your body.

4. How does Turbulence Training Work?
Answer:
Now we're really diving into the good stuff.
When you do Turbulence Training, you'll exercise in a short, burst
style with an increased intensity. You'll do total body movements
using your bodyweight or a set of dumbbells (these are cheap and
easy to store at home).
You'll also use my trademarked secrets to cut the workout time by
increasing exercise density.
If you've done a typical workout advertised in a fitness magazine,
you've probably taken long breaks between exercises, but you won't
with Turbulence Training. Instead, you'll use my secret method of
combining exercises so that you end up getting the power of 10
(yes, 10!) workouts in one.
It all adds up to quick results in minimum time and minimum space,
without having to invest in an expensive gym membership or fancy,
large machines that end up doubling as clothes racks in your home
(because you can't stand using them).
5. It really only takes 90 minutes per week to get amazing results?
How is that possible?
Answer:
This is a great question to let me sum everything up. You've
learned a lot in this interview, discovering that cardio doesn't
work for fat loss, and that gym machines "lie" to you by
over-estimating the number of calories you burn each session.
The end result with slow, boring cardio workouts done on a
treadmill or elliptical machine is frustration, but not fat loss.
On the other hand, if you switch to short, burst workouts, that can
be done at home or in a gym with minimal equipment - and much less
time - you'll triple or quadruple your fat burning results and you
will benefit from the afterburn effect to boost your metabolism for
up to 40 hours after your workouts.
And by taking the science one step further and using my
trademarked, unique exercise system, you'll be able to lose fat in
just three fast, fun, and effective workouts of only 30 minutes per
week.
That's 30 minutes from start to finish, too. There's no hidden
extra warm-up or cool-down in there. You'll finally be able to lose
10, 20, even 30 pounds or more of fat in just a few weeks with this
approach.
I guarantee it and urge you to take advantage of my new
follow-along workout video system on sale this week. You'll get a
done-for-you exercise plan that you can do at home to lose belly
fat starting immediately. And you'll save a lot of money with this
special, limited-time offer.
