Why does it seem like every Turbulence Training Transformation Contest winner uses the TT for Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks workout program?

It has such an odd name, but it is easily the most popular program used by contestants in the final four weeks of their dramatic body transformations.

Let's take a look at this at home fat burning workout to see what makes it so special and effective for fat loss.

There are three fantastic short, burst workouts in this program, and one of them uses a secret type of bodyweight interval training never-before-seen in any other Turbulence Training program.

Plus, there's a secret way of contracting the muscles in every repetition in this program unlike any other program before it.

This special method activates more muscle fibers and depletes more glycogen, and therefore should put more turbulence on the muscles - therefore resulting in more calorie burning - therefore resulting in more fat loss - and in more Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks.

The workouts also contain more of a specific type of exercise that always make a workout more difficult. You can expect to sweat more, grunt more, and perhaps curse at me a little more than usual.

But that's okay, I can take it. Do your worst, because you'll be feeling it tomorrow, but loving the results too.

If you're ready to join the Transformation Contest Winners and use the most popular TT program, "TT for Buff Dudes and
Hot Chicks", you can get it here:

You'll also receive a bonus workout called, "TT Transformation" that I created as a follow up to "Buff Dudes-Hot Chicks"

I know - it's a really silly name.

But the results are incredible,

PS - Just say no to slow boring cardio on an empty stomach.

This program is proven to be the best for TT Transformations.

Active Mums-To-Be Give Their Baby A Healthy Head Start

Posted: Sunday, 10 April 2011 by Simon Caddy in

Mums-to-be long have been told by their doctors and baby-related books and websites that staying fit during pregnancy is good for both mother and child. When it was reported a couple of years back that exercising strengthens a foetus' heart control, many pregnant women took heed and hit the ground running, literally. Some signed up for prenatal yoga classes; others found new ways to incorporate low-impact aerobic activities into their daily lives.

But, for those pregnant women out there who might not be feeling all that motivated, or anything but energised, new research being reported this week could tip the scales: It turns out that exercising during pregnancy might be the earliest intervention strategy available to you for improving your child's heart health after birth.

"It is my hope that these findings will show that efforts focused on improving health need to start during pregnancy rather than in childhood," says Linda E. May, an exercise physiologist and anatomist at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences who has been heading up a series of studies on foetal heart development for the past four years. "Most of the focus today is on school-age children, but interventions should be focused long before that."

A 2008 pilot study conducted by May and her collaborators at KCUMB and the Kansas City University of Medicine found that pregnant women who exercised at least 30 minutes three times a week had foetuses with lower heart rates - a sign of heart health - during the final weeks of development.

Now the team has revealed that the foetuses' improved cardiovascular heart control is maintained one month after pregnancy, which indicates that mothers' efforts to stay active have lasting effects. The study results are to be presented this week at the Experimental Biology 2011 annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

For expectant mothers like Kelli Gifford of Katy, Texas, the idea that an extra Zumba class or lap around the park could put her baby on a path to heart health puts an extra spring in her step.

"I had been regularly exercising many hours a week for years before I got pregnant and felt no need to change anything after I became pregnant," said Gifford, who was not involved in the study. "Of course, I checked with my doctor and researched websites to make sure I wasn't causing my baby any harm, but it seemed to be the consensus to keep doing what I was doing as long as I felt OK -- and I have! I feel great and haven't been sick a day. It's been really beneficial to both me and my baby, and I hope it helps both of us long-term as well."

I must add here that although Kelli was ok, Zumba is NOT recommended for pregnant women due to the amount of stomach-based movement during the workout.

May's research team's latest investigation involved 61 mums-to-be and monitored maternal-foetal and infant heart function four times over the course of the study. The women's aerobic activity levels ranged from power walking to running. Some of the more active participants also lifted weights and practices yoga.

"The system that controls heart function is known to improve with regular aerobic exercise," May says, "and improved heart control function is evidence of a healthy cardiovascular system and overall health. Not only did the mothers' exercise help maintain and improve their own health, but it set their babies up for a healthier start."

At 2:30 p.m. Sunday 10th April 2011 in Room 101 of the Walter E Washington Convention Centre in D.C., May will present her findings during a 30-minute talk before the American Association of Anatomists at the Experimental Biology 2011 meeting.

The research team's work is funded by the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences and the Hoglund Brain Imaging Centre at the University of Kansas Medical Centre (KUMC).

May's collaborators include: Kathleen Gustafson, a research assistant professor at the Hoglund Brain Imaging Center at KUMC; Henry Yeh, a statistician at KUMC; Alan Glaros, a statistician at KCUMB; and Richard Suminski, an exercise physiologist at KCUMB.

5 Proven Nutrition SWITCHES for Faster Fat Loss

Posted: Sunday, 13 March 2011 by Simon Caddy in

Every day in March, I've committed to sharing a Training and Nutrition "SWITCH" to help you lose fat. Here are 5 of the most popular nutrition switches I've posted so far:

Nutrition SWITCH #1 - No More Dessert for Breakfast

If you want to lose fat, stop eating dessert for breakfast.

Let's be honest, most of what people eat for breakfast would qualify as dessert if served at any other time of day. So stop with sugary cereals, muffins (let's be honest, we all know that muffins = cake), granola bars, and bagels.

Nutrition SWITCH #2 - Switch Your Eating Schedule

If you find that you often "binge snack" at night, try having a bigger late afternoon healthy snack, and then having a later
healthy dinner.

There's no magic to not eating after a certain time. I often eat a big healthy dinner and go to sleep within 30 minutes. That won't make you fat. Eating a pint of ice cream & bag of chips every night while you watch TV makes you fat.

Nutrition SWITCH #3 - Minimize the Junk

Your house doesn't need to be stocked like the local 7-11. Keep the minimum amount of treats at home to avoid mutiny and keep treats out of sight & hard to access.

Make healthy foods (giant bowls of fresh fruit) visible and places encouraging notes to eat the fruit in the kitchen.

Put ready-to-eat produce in most visible part of the fridge & hide junk in the back. All research proven to increase healthy food consumption. And when it's your time for a cheat meal, you can enjoy it guilt-free.

Nutrition SWITCH #4 - Go From Processed to Natural

When possible, switch out all processed or "modified" carbohydrates and replace it with a fruit, vegetable, or nut.

For example, instead of toast with eggs, have an apple and add spinach to the eggs. Instead of a processed carbohydrate with your morning coffee, have 1oz of raw nuts (almonds or walnuts). With steak, eat broccoli, not mashed potatoes or French fries.

Nutrition SWITCH #5 - Cut the Sugar From Your Post-Workout Drink

If you're focused specifically on fat loss, you do NOT need to add sugar (or any variations of sugar) to your after
training drink.

I interviewed top nutritionists about this in 2010, and they all agreed that for fat loss, you don't need to force post-workout sugar into your body. So take it out.

BONUS Nutrition SWITCH - Become Your Own Nutrition Expert

Stop getting fooled by fad diets. Become an expert yourself by going through a 2-week "intensive nutrition course".

Here's how:

Eat a wide variety of food for 2 weeks and record all of your meals. You'll quickly know the calorie counts of all foods and proper serving sizes AND most importantly, what works for YOU. Very simple. Very effective.

Research proven tips to help you eat better.
