Merry Christmas, or Happy Festivus, whatever you choose to celebrate. I hope you have an amazing holiday filled with all the family, friends, and traditions that make you happy.

My Christmas gift this year was discovered during a visit to the vet last week…you see, ol’ Bally the dog had a checkup for his ears, and I was given a summary with his birthday on it…I did the calculation and realized he’s only turning 5 years old this year…I thought he was turning 6. So I’ve been given another year of Bally. Very happy about that. I don’t need much more. That makes for a great 2011 already…

…and I hope yours is as well.

To get you started, I’d love to help you transform your body in the 10th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest here.

Now let’s get into the TT Workout and tips…

Transformation Tip of the Week:

No matter how busy we are and no matter how difficult it is, somewhere out there is someone who has it worse, and they’ve made it work. So if they can do it, then we can find a way to do it too, no matter what “it” is.

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” – Lance Armstrong

Now to improve your abs workout

I want to show you how to INSTANTLY improve your ab workouts by 40%.

To do that, we go to one of the world’s leading experts on back pain.

His name is Dr. Stuart McGill, and back in 2004 I drove my ol’ 1997 Nissan Maxima from Toronto to Waterloo to buy Dr. McGill a hamburger and ask him about the best ab training methods.

Dr. McGill showed me a few unique exercises, told me a cool story about how he was helping an NBA player rehab his back, and then he told me not to do situps or any other exercise where your spine is flexed forward.

Now you’ve probably had a sneaky suspicion that all those crunches were a bad idea, and here’s proof that you were RIGHT!

In fact, on one website, Dr. McGill is quoted as saying:

“…when the spine is fully flexed, we’ve measured the spine losing up to 40% of its ability to bear compressive loads. In other words the spine is strongest when in a neutral position.”

There you go – REMOVE crunches and situps and your ab workouts will instantly be 40% better for you.

What Dr. McGill is saying is that we want to AVOID crunch and situp type exercises, and focus on total-body ab exercises where we brace our abs in a neutral position – rather than flexing (and breaking) our backs.

Dr. McGill continued by saying, “Too many bad backs are created by misinformed people thinking they need to train the rectus with repeated full flexion exercises. There are much better and safer ways to do this.”

Exactly.

Willardson, JM, Behm, DG, Huang, SY, Rehg, MD, Kattenbraker, MS, and Fontana, FE. A comparison of trunk muscle activation: Ab circle vs. traditional modalities. J Strength Cond Res 24(12): 3415-3421, 2010

Canadian and American researchers studied muscle activation of the abs during 3 torso exercises and the Ab Circle device.

12 subjects (6 men, 6 women) for 6 exercise conditions, including: abdominal crunch, side bridge, bird dog, and Ab Circle levels 1-3.

For the rectus abdominis, the abdominal crunch elicited significantly greater activity vs. the Ab Circle level 1, and the side bridge elicited significantly greater activity vs. the Ab Circle levels 1 and 2.

For the External Oblique, the side bridge elicited significantly greater activity vs. the bird dog.

The results of this study indicate that the trunk musculature can be activated to similar or even greater levels by performing the 3 traditional trunk exercises vs. the Ab Circle. This was particularly evident for the side bridge exercise.

This proves Dr. McGill’s tips.

Wednesday Workout Tip

Don’t be this guy => Orgasm guy

Orgasm guy was at the gym today. He is very annoying. Every repetition of his “oh so intense” reverse crunches must be a mess in his pants. Don’t be that guy (or girl – women are just as bad).

Bottom line: Train hard, but train quietly.

Trainer Thursday
•    Do 30 minutes of fun activity…

The Proper Warm-up: Part 1
You’ll start with a general bodyweight mobility warm up. When they’re doing these exercises – and any exercise – a great tip is to have you or the client touch any muscles that the clients are having trouble activating (always discuss touching and make the appropriate decision about who should touch and cue the muscle).

If the client is doing a one-leg hip extension, tell the client to put their hands on the muscles that should be working (glutes and hamstrings). This will help them activate the correct muscle. Another example is during a seated row. You can touch the lats and rhomboids to make them aware of what muscles should be working.

Research actually shows that when you touch muscles they have better activation, so you want to be doing that any time there is confusion about what exercise is working what muscle group. Clients should be made aware of what muscles are working in every exercise.

Clients always ask, “Where should I be feeling this?”, so pre-empt that question with an explanation any time you demonstrate an exercise.

This week we look at Triathlon training…submit your question on the TT Facebook page here.

Q: Lovin the belly off. The workouts, intervals, and diet. Never been able to stick to anything like this so well. Thanks! But now I’m so obsessed that I’ve entered an off-road triathlon. 3/4 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 5 mile run. It’s 5 months away so I’ve got plenty of time to work up to it. I’ve read just about everything you’ve posted so I know you’re not too keen on cardio. How do you suggest I prepare for this. Lengthen my intervals? Run or ride on the off days? I’m buying everything you’re saying on the the intervals for fat burning vs the cardio but isn’t there any value to increasing my cardio stamina? BTW my wife is enjoying my results as well!!! .

Answer:
Great work.

You can do more cardio in preparation.

I’m not against aerobic training for performance, I’m just against choosing cardio over strength and interval training if you only have a short amount of time to lose fat.

Most importantly, you should practice your swim technique and get acquainted with the transitions you’ll need to make during the race.

How to do a triathlon and turbulence training at the same time.

As for the mini-T, if you want to do your best in it, your best option would be to first schedule your Tri training, and then work 1-2 strength training sessions into your week (only 1 set per exercise) and 1 interval session in (done at the start of a regularly scheduled cardio session).

Hope that helps.

How many calories should I consume for weight loss?

For the answer, we turn to Alan Aragon’s formula found in the Dec 2010 issue of Men’s Health magazine. First, we’ll need your “Target Weight” and “# of weekly exercise hours”. Let’s say you want to get to 180 and you’ll be exercising 4 hours per week.

Calorie Intake = Target weight x (10 + # weekly exercise hrs)

= 180 x 14
= 2250

By the way, Aragon suggests subtracting about 350-750 calories for a missed workout.

Also…I encourage you to read the rest of the report, “How a fat nation can slim down” in the Dec. 2010 Men’s Health issue. And of course, entering the 10th TT Transformation Contest here.

Little bit of snow falling these days in Toronto…so truly its Christmas time in the city. I’m staying here in Southern Ontario, splitting my time between Toronto and family back in Stratford. Catching up. Its been a busy year. And a great year too, I have much to be thankful for.

By the way, if you’ve ever ordered a set of TT DVDs, we’ve been sending out t-shirts to you. Had this feedback that I’ve wanted to share:

“Craig, Just received a free Turbulence Training t-shirt in the mail today. It is awesome and can’t wait to wear it proudly. This is why you are so successful b/c of great customer service and obviously an awesome program. Keep it up!” – Daniel Woodrum

Thank you for being awesome! The best thing you can do is have success with TT.

By the way, just because it is December doesn’t mean it is time to quit. There is sStill lots of time left to achieve great things in 2010. Keep pushing and improving even through the holidays. Never give up.

Transformation Tip of the Week

Once you accept that your success journey will be difficult, the process then becomes simple. Once you realize that you’ll have to sacrifice (whether you want to lose fat or make more money, etc.), only then you will be mentally ready to succeed by planning, doing the work, and never giving up no matter how frustrated you get. But all that starts with accepting the challenge and committing yourself to the goal.

Workout Tips from Men’s Health Magazine, December 2010

• 44 degrees is the best angle for max chest and deltoid during incline bench
• Tucking your elbows in during bench presses is better for strength and reduces shoulder stress, says researchers from Slippery rock university. (Author: Anning, J)

And here are my tips for bench pressing, check out this Youtube video:

Finally, I encourage you to read this month’s workout poster in the dec 2010 mh…it features one of my favorite supersets in workout A:

Wednesday Workout Tip

More from Men’s Health Dec. 2010.

First, save your back by bending your knees and squatting, not rounding your low back, when you pick up stuff off the floor.

Second, “rotational crunches are less effective than regular crunches for your obliques”, according to a study performed at Westfield State University (Author: Proulx, C). Plus, since we know crunches are hard on the low back, you should use Stability Ball Rollouts or Jackknives instead.  Check out these TT-approved ab exercises:

6-Minute Abs Supersets

Trainer Thursday

Another major problem among personal trainers is that they often have no plan at all for the client’s training session.

You can see this from the lack of warm up, the awkward conversation, the random exercise order that they go through. They don’t have a backup plan if equipment is being used in a busy gym.

Everything that you’re going to do should be written down. They aren’t just hiring you to count reps. Trainers can’t just pick some exercises out of thin air. Everything needs to be planned and prepared for maximum results and professionalism.

Q: What is the difference between pullups and chinups, and what are good substitutes for these exercises?

Answer:
First, chinups are the underhand grip and pull-ups are overhand grip.

On Wednesday morning I’m flying to Mexico to attend the wedding of my ol’ buddy Dion from college. It’s going to be a once in a lifetime trip.

And while I’m there, of course, I expect to be asked my fair share of fat loss and ab workout questions (particularly after I take my shirt off at the pool - just KIDDING, I’m not that vain).

Unfortunately, most of my friend’s workout questions will start off wrong, because they’ll be asking: “How much cardio do you do?” and “What’s the best type of crunches for your abs?”

I’ll explain more problems with cardio tomorrow, but today, I want to show you how to INSTANTLY improve your ab workouts by 40%.

To do that, we go to one of the world’s leading experts on back pain.

His name is Dr. Stuart McGill, and back in 2004 I drove my ol’ 1997 Nissan Maxima from Toronto to Waterloo to buy Dr. McGill a hamburger and ask him about the best ab training methods.

Dr. McGill showed me a few unique exercises, told me a cool story about how he was helping an NBA player rehab his back, and then he told me not to do situps or any other exercise where your spine is flexed forward.

Now you’ve probably had a sneaky suspicion that all those crunches were a bad idea, and here’s proof that you were RIGHT!

In fact, on one website, Dr. McGill is quoted as saying:

“…when the spine is fully flexed, we’ve measured the spine losing up to 40% of its ability to bear compressive loads. In other words the spine is strongest when in a neutral position.”

There you go – REMOVE crunches and situps and your ab workouts will instantly be 40% better for you.

What Dr. McGill is saying is that we want to AVOID crunch and situp type exercises, and focus on total-body ab exercises where we brace our abs in a neutral position – rather than flexing (and breaking) our backs.

Dr. McGill continued by saying, “Too many bad backs are created by misinformed people thinking they need to train the rectus with repeated full flexion exercises. There are much better and safer ways to do this.”

Exactly.

That’s why I don’t use crunches or situps in the TT for Abs workouts, and that’s why I drive – and even fly – hours out of my way to meet with experts like Dr. McGill who help me help YOU get the right workouts.

So what we need to do is combine safe, total-body ab exercises with total-body workouts AND proven belly-fat burning interval training to give you the ULTIMATE ab workout system…like the one I’ve been using for years in my TT for Abs programs.

In fact, I have a complete abdominal exercise substitution list here that will help you fix your current ab workouts.

To your success,

Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Creator, Turbulence Training

Today, you’re going to discover the Turbulence Training approved abdominal exercise substitution list. Now yesterday I told you about how I saw a trainer put his client through a back-destroying exercise, and here’s what it was…

The exercise was weighted Stability Ball Crunches…but there were not normal crunches on the ball that you see people do. No way.

You see, not only did the client do a full-on sit-up motion, but she kept going – violently, I might add – into a total body flexion movement that ended with her almost putting her head between her knees.

But doing any type of spinal flexion can be harmful to your low back because this will compress the disks in your spine.

In fact, Dr. Stuart McGill, the world’s expert on low-back injuries and abdominal training, said in a recent New York Times article, “…no sit-ups, they place devastating loads on the disks.”

The disks in your spine are the same disks that get herniated in low back injury. And moves like sit-ups essentially “crush” the disks between the bones in your spine, causing terrible pain and nerve damage.

So STOP doing crunches and sit-ups!

Fortunately, you can still get six-pack abs and a flat, sexy stomach by using back-friendly ab exercises instead.

So let’s review a huge list of abdominal exercise substitutions:

1) Replace crunches with:

Planks, mountain climbers, and stability ball jackknives

2) Replace cross-crunches (i.e. twisting or oblique crunches) with:

Side planks and cross-body mountain climbers

3) Replace sit-ups with:

Stability ball jackknives, stability ball planks, stability ball pikes, stability ball rollouts, and hanging knee raises.

Now let’s take a look at how we can make some of these “back-friendly ab exercises” even harder for your abs:

1) How to increase the difficulty of the Plank

First of all, before you move on from the plank, you have to “master” it.

Dr. Stuart McGill, the world’s leading authority on ab endurance and low-back health, says that we should all be able to do a plank for 2 minutes straight.

And I’ll be honest, I “let myself go” on this exercise last summer. And not surprisingly, it was probably one of the reasons I had back pain. At one point, I was only able to do a strict plank for 75 seconds. I’ve worked my way back up over 135 seconds, and now my back pain is gone.

You can even do pushup-planks, as those will help prepare you for pushups if you are a beginner.

Eventually you will graduate to the Stability Ball Plank, which is 30% harder for your abs than regular planks.

2) Harder versions of the Side Plank

Advanced versions include the Side Plank with Leg Raise and Side Plank with DB Lateral Raise (allowing you to train your shoulders at the same time). Dr. McGill adds that we should be able to do a side plank for 90 seconds straight.

3) Mountain Climbers substitutions

You can use the Spiderman Climb exercise as a replacement, and this is excellent for lower-body and hip mobility.

A harder version of mountain climbers is the Cross-Body Mountain Climber, and you can also do mountain climbers with your hands on the ball or with your hands on the floor and feet on the ball. One of my favorite advanced versions is the “Hands on the Floor, Feet on the Ball Cross-body Mountain Climber” or even the “EXTREME X-Body Mountain Climber” (pictured).

Stability Ball NOTE

If you don’t have a ball, you seriously need to get one…they are cheap, and I’m not asking you to do any dangerous circus tricks with them…

But if you don’t have a ball, you can replace the Stability Ball Plank with the Mountain Climber exercise, but it will not be as difficult.

4) How to increase the difficulty of the Stability Ball Jackknife

Eventually you’ll progress to the Stability Ball Pike. And another way to do this exercise is using the TRX straps. That is one of the exercises that gets improved by the TRX. Very effective movement. But even with the ball you can step up your training by using this exercise.

5) The Stability Ball Pike

This is another exercise improved by using the TRX, as well as a cool toy I bought called the Power Wheel. The key to the exercise is raising your hips up as high as possible, and again, using the Power Wheel or TRX (pictured) allows you to do that better.

6) Alternatives for the Stability Ball Rollout

If you are new to this exercise, you can use a modified Roll-out, as you’ll discover in the TT Beginner Total Torso Training DVD.

Plus, you can substitute an ab wheel in place of the ball or you can even use the TRX in a similar type of movement. It works because you are fighting the extension of your torso.

Stretch your abs on the way out, and contract your abs to return to the starting position. This movement will leave your abs quite sore if it is a new exercise for you!

7) Additional Advanced Abs Exercises

Once you’ve dominated all of these Stability Ball exercises, you can move to traditional advanced ab exercises of of Hanging Knee Ups and Hanging Leg Raises.

However, you should only do these exercises if you can fully ELIMINATE momentum from the exercise. Do NOT swing your hips or rock back and forth.

8] Pushups That Workout Your Abs

You should also understand that a LOT of traditional exercises work your abs and slight variations of traditional moves can work your abs very hard.

For example, some of the best pushups for abs include:

• Elevated Pushups
• T-Pushup
• Spiderman Pushups
• Decline Spiderman Pushups

You’ll get all of these in Turbulence Training workouts, of course.

9) Pulling Exercises that work your abs

Back in the day, I trained a fit woman who had never been asked to do a chin-up by her previous trainers. So I had her do 2-3 sets of 3-5 repetitions.

She came back the next session and couldn’t believe how sore her abs were from this exercise. So again, you will get a lot of ab work from traditional movements. In addition to the chin-up, here are my favorite “total body pulling muscle ab exercises”.

• DB Renegade Row
• Pullups
• Chinups/Pullups with kneeups
• Spiderman Pullups

Use those to make your workouts more efficient.

10) Shoulder/Arm Exercises

YES, you can use shoulder and arm exercises to work your abs. Any time you do a standing exercise, you’ll need to brace your abs HARD in order to maintain a stiff torso. That works your abs as hard as planks and side planks.

Plus, in the triceps extension exercise, you are stretching your abs as you lower the weight and contracting your abs as you contract your triceps to return the dumbbells or bar to the start position. I’ve had super-sore abs just from doing triceps!

So here are my favorite upper body exercises for abs:

• 1-Arm Press
• 1-Arm Curl
• DB Triceps Extension

Hope you enjoyed that massive list of ab exercise substitutions!

Just say NO to crunches,

Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Creator, TT For Abs DVDs

The best abs exercises and cardio program for fat loss are NOT what you think. So forget about doing sit-ups, crunches, and slow cardio. Today, you’ll discover the truth about the best way to lose belly fat and get sexy abs.

You see, yesterday I watched a well-meaning but uneducated trainer put his female client through some dangerous ab exercises. Not surprisingly, the woman complained of low back pain after the workout.

I’ll tell you more about that BAD exercise tomorrow, and I’ll give you a huge list of ab exercise substitutions.

But today, we are kicking off the the 50% off TT for Abs DVD sale:

=> http://www.TTForAbsDVDs.com

For LESS than the same investment that poor woman gives the trainer PER session, you could have the entire 12-week TT for Abs DVD set delivered to your doorstep so YOU can workout with me in the comfort of your own home. How cool is that?

The TT for Abs DVDs were filmed in “FOLLOW-ALONG” style, meaning that YOU and I do EVERY repetition of every exercise together.

This is the PERFECT system if you want more video demonstrations of exercises, more motivation during the workouts, and more PROVEN workouts that will help you lose fat and work your abs – safely.

Now a lot of TT readers had questions about the DVDs and ab workouts, so I’m going to address those today. But first, here are the 3 winners of a free set of the TT for Abs DVDs:

1) Betsy Green
2) Simon Vincent
3) Rennie (who still needs to send me her shipping info!)

Now on to your questions.

1) What is the best cardio for losing belly fat?

Answer:
A-ha, that is a trick question! Or at least you’re getting a trick answer…

…because the best type of cardio is NO cardio at all. The TT for Abs DVDs use interval training to burn belly fat, not long, slow, boring cardio. You will never need to spend 40 minutes on a cardio machine again, unless that is something you love.

2) Are the TT for Abs DVDs workouts good for beginners?

Answer:
Absolutely. Earlier this summer I visited my mom at home on the farm, and I wanted to watch a training video. I opened up the DVD player, and there was a copy of the TT for Abs Beginner workout.

Now my mom is 68 years old, and has never really worked out in her life, but even she can do the beginner level programs.

PLUS, in the TT for Abs DVD set, you get TWO bonus beginner workouts:

i) The TT Total Torso Training 4-week Beginner Workout
ii) The TT 15-Minute Express 4-Week Beginner Workout

And yes, both of these are filmed in “follow along” style as well.

Join my Mom and start using the TT for Abs workouts – on sale here:

=> http://www.TTforAbsDVDs.com

3) Okay, but will I get advanced TT workouts too?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. In fact, because I filmed these workouts in “follow along” style, and because I was filming 2-3 of these in a ROW each night, you get to see me “huffing and puffing”, and struggling with a lot of the more advanced workouts.

Just a little payback for you, after all the hard TT workouts you’ve done in the past.

Now you have a chance to watch me suffer!

Trust me, the advanced TT workouts will challenge even the fittest trainer in your city. And more importantly, they will give YOU the advanced results you are looking for.

4) What is the #1 Ab Exercise?

Answer:
That’s a tough question to answer of course, because it depends on the individual. But I do know this…

For BEGINNERS…you need to start with the plank, side plank, and bird dog exercises to build up abdominal endurance. By doing so, you will set the stage for eliminating back-pain while working your six pack abs.

For INTERMEDIATE level fitness…one of the most important exercises you will do is the Stability Ball Plank. A study quoted in Men’s Health magazine found the Ball Plank to be 30% harder than the regular ab plank.

Finally, for ADVANCED folks…the most recent issue of Men’s Health magazine quoted a study that found the Stability Ball Rollout is the HARDEST ball exercise for your abs.

Get all of these exercises on DVD here:

5) Can I get the TT for Abs DVDS if I live in Australia, Europe, Asia, or South America?

Answer:
YES, you can!

It doesn’t matter if you live in Dubai, Sydney, Auckland, Paris, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Vancouver, LA, Boston, Dallas, or Timbuktu, you can get the DVDs.

And no matter where you live, you also get my Canadian-Strength guarantee that you’ll love the TT for Abs DVDS, or I’ll give you every penny back.

6) Are the TT for Abs exercise DVDs better than the other workout DVDs that I can buy?

Answer:
Yes, of course!

Now seriously, what did you expect me to say?

I’m not in the business of creating 2nd best workouts.

After all, I was picked by the biggest fitness magazine in the world, Men’s Health, over 10 years ago this summer to be one of their main fitness contributors…

…and I’ve been studying this craft for almost 20 years since the day I picked up my first weight. PLUS, thousands upon thousands of TT members have used these workouts.

So unless you can’t understand my Canadian accent (eh?) then I promise you that you will find these workouts to be the absolute BEST exercise DVDs you can get. I guarantee it.

7) Why did you film ab workouts? I thought total body workouts were the best way to lose fat?

Answer:

Great question, and you’re right, total body workouts are the best.

Fortunately, the TT for Abs DVDs are total body TT workouts with added total-body ab exercises. This combination will help you burn belly fat AND give you lean, sexy abs.

PLUS, you’ll get the TT Total Torso Training Workout for Beginner as well as Beginner and Advanced 15-Minute Express Fat Loss DVDs.

BONUS QUESTION: Do you have a payment plan for the TT for Abs DVDs?
