It’s true that women and men tend to store body fat in different places. Women’s bodies (because of necessary genetics) have twice the amount lipogenic (fat storing) enzymes and half the amount of lipolytic (fat releasing) enzymes as men’s bodies. This has to be taken into account when exercise programs are designed.

Women tend to store stubborn fat in the buttocks, hips (saddle bags), thighs and the back of the upper arms (grandmother arms). Men tend to store stubborn fat in the abdominal area (pot belly and spare tire) and back area. Excess abdominal fat has been shown to be a pre-curser to diseases such as cancer.

Subcutaneous Fat - Subcutaneous fat is found just underneath the skin and may cause dimpling and cellulite.

Visceral Fat - Visceral fat is located in the abdomen and vital organs (such as the liver). It can also infiltrate your muscles and heart. Even if you are skinny, you can have visceral fat. A “skinny fat” person is one who is skinny with high body fat. Studies have shown that frequent yo-yo dieting increases visceral fat. Yo-yo dieters also regain the lost weight (and even more) because yo-yo diets slow down your metabolism.

So, what is the best way to burn both types of fat? You guessed right! Exercise!

Research and my personal experience as an exerciser and personal trainer proves that a combination of full-body circuit weight training (including bodyweight training) and high intensity interval cardio training is best for optimal fat-burning, muscle strength/endurance, cardio-respiratory health and bone density benefits.

25 pounds of fat loss in 12 weeks, just by following the Turbulence Training For Fat Loss manual in the exact order it is laid out. Very simple. Follow instructions -> lose fat. That’s all you need to do!

Mark Smallwood started with the Intro Level fat burning workouts for 2 weeks, then moved on for 2 weeks of Beginner TT, then the Intermediate Level TT (which is a lot harder than it sounds), and then the classic fat burning workout that started it all, The Original Turbulence Training program.

Here is Mark Smallwood’s story…the only mistake he made was not measuring his arms, I bet he added an inch to his “guns” in 12 weeks while losing 25 pounds of fat.

Don’t waste another year, month, week, or day. Do what Mark did. Follow the plan and burn the fat.

“I had seen Craig and
Turbulence Training in an issue of Men’s Health and signed up for the newsletter.

It took me a year before I decided to become a TT Member. Why did I waste a whole year?

I had become accustomed to eating whatever I could find and plenty of it. I had that stupid notion that as you get older, you just get bigger.

Turbulence Training intrigued me. Bodyweight training and workouts. So I finally got off my duff and I made the decision to join.

The last 12 weeks have been tremendous. Weekly visible changes and challenging, fun workouts.

I incorporated Craig’s and Dr. Mohr’s nutritional ideas plus Brad Pilon’s Eat Stop Eat program, which was a big step for me.

But Craig’s Turbulence Training workouts tipped the scales in changing my lazy mindset. No expensive machines. I have gained strength and definition using just my own body and some dumbbells.

The best motivation was when I and everyone began to notice a difference in my appearance. All the encouraging comments meant a lot to me. I am so proud to show off my before and after photos. But my journey does not stop here. I
love what I have accomplished , but there is more work to do.

I started with the Introductory level for two weeks. Then moved into the Beginner level. I stayed at this level for another two weeks. During the next four weeks I worked in the Intermediate level. I finished my twelve weeks with the Original Turbulence Training program. I am going to continue to work through the Turbulence Training manual with the 2K3, 2K4, 2K5 and 2K6 workouts.

I was 208 lbs when I started Turbulence Training with a body fat percentage of over 25. I finished my twelve weeks at 183 lbs and 21.5% body fat. My lifetime of fitness has just begun.”
