?With "Turbulence Training", Craig
Ballantyne has found the Holy Grail of fitness results ?
increased muscle with decreased body fat, virtually
simultaneously. Nothing works better for getting
lean.?

and M&F Hers
?I have to admit I was a little skeptical
that I could lose 1 lb of fat/week, since my losses have
slowed over the past few months. But, here are my results
after 4 weeks of the original Turbulence Training plan. I'm
moving on to 2K3 tomorrow.
"Turbulence Training is a proven way to
melt fat fast, while protecting your hard-earned muscle. I'm
so confident in its effectiveness that I recommended it to
millions of readers by featuring it in the February 2004 and
October 2004 issues of Men's Fitness. And the fantastic
feedback I've received from guys all over the world as a
result ensures you'll be seeing a lot more of CB's programs in
the magazine."
Adam Campbell, MS, CSCS, former Fitness
Editor, Men's Fitness
?I wanted to let you know that I dropped
5lbs based on your articles and programs and kept it off for 3
weeks now (I'm 5'7 and now a strong 130lbs)... I am a
health-knowledge "junkie" and have bought hundreds of e-books
and print books and bought at least a dozen workout programs
but this is the best structured and planned program I have
come across to date. The simplicity and organization of the
programs make the workouts manageble and fun and because you
get results fast and you are motivated to continue on -
changing and progressing day after day. It is an addiction to
workout now and feel healthy... On behalf of so many afraid or
too lazy to speak up I would like to say thank
you!!?
?At mid-life, pushing 300 pounds, and
highly skeptical of quick-fixes, I learned of Turbulence
Training for Fat Loss and decided it was a program which made
sense. It's about hard work, sensible eating, and getting
stronger. I found the efficiency of the program to be
appealing. In less than an hour, 3 to 4 times per week, the
workouts are manageable on a busy schedule. It produced not
only weight loss of close to 60 pounds; my strength increased
rather dramatically. I have recommended the program to many
men who are seeking an efficient, yet demanding, program for
fitness and healthy eating.?
?I lost 14 pounds this month and the
weight is just falling off me. My wife says I now look like
when we first met and I still have more to go. I can fit into
my old jeans again which is a big deal for me. I just cut back
on starches and bread and do your routine 2-3 times a week. I
never thought in a million years that just 10-20 minutes of
weight training followed by some cardio would get me such
steady results. I even cheat a bit on the
weekends.
Forum Topics: Did you ever hear of the golden apples that grew in the garden of the Hesperides? Ah, those were such apples as would bring a great price, by the bushel, if any of them could be found growing in the orchards of nowadays! But there is not, I suppose, a graft of that wonderful fruit on a single tree in the wide world. Not so much as a seed of those apples exists any longer.
And, even in the old, old, half-forgotten times, before the garden of the Hesperides was overrun with weeds, a great many people doubted whether there could be real trees that bore apples of solid gold upon their branches. All had heard of them, but nobody remembered to have seen any. Children, nevertheless, used to listen, open-mouthed, to stories of the golden apple tree, and resolved to discover it, when they should be big enough. Adventurous young men, who desired to do a braver thing than any of their fellows, set out in quest of this fruit. Many of them returned no more; none of them brought back the apples. No wonder that they found it impossible to gather them! It is said that there was a dragon beneath the tree, with a hundred terrible heads, fifty of which were always on the watch, while the other fifty slept.
In my opinion it was hardly worth running so much risk for the sake of a solid golden apple. Had the apples been sweet, mellow, and juicy, indeed that would be another matter. There might then have been some sense in trying to get at them, in spite of the hundred-headed dragon.
But, as I have already told you, it was quite a common thing with young persons, when tired of too much peace and rest, to go in search of the garden of the Hesperides. And once the adventure was undertaken by a hero who had enjoyed very little peace or rest since he came into the world. At the time of which I am going to speak, he was wandering through the pleasant land of Italy, with a mighty club in his hand, and a bow and quiver slung across his shoulders. He was wrapt in the skin of the biggest and fiercest lion that ever had been seen, and which he himself had killed; and though, on the whole, he was kind, and generous, and noble, there was a good deal of the lion's fierceness in his heart. As he went on his way, he continually inquired whether that were the right road to the famous garden. But none of the country people knew anything about the matter, and many looked as if they would have laughed at the question, if the stranger had not carried so very big a club.
So he journeyed on and on, still making the same inquiry, until, at last, he came to the brink of a river where some beautiful young women sat twining wreaths of flowers.
"Can you tell me, pretty maidens," asked the stranger, "whether this is the right way to the garden of the Hesperides?"
The young women had been having a fine time together, weaving the flowers into wreaths, and crowning one another's heads. And there seemed to be a kind of magic in the touch of their fingers, that made the flowers more fresh and dewy, and of brighter hues, and sweeter fragrance, while they played with them, than even when they had been growing on their native stems. But, on hearing the stranger's question, they dropped all their flowers on the grass, and gazed at him with astonishment.
"The garden of the Hesperides!" cried one. "We thought mortals had been weary of seeking it, after so many disappointments. And pray, adventurous traveller, what do you want there?"
