But for most people, this workout was difficult to do because it includes a lot of equipment typically not found in home gyms or commerical gyms. So you couldn't do the kettlebell clean and press or box jumps.
That's why I came up with the Turbulence Training Bodyweight 500 workout. The Turbulence Training 500 program does not use weights. All exercises are bodyweight only. No weights are needed. It's still challenging, it will still burn fat, and it will still help you achieve the body of a Greek Warrior. The great thing is that you can do it in any gym.
Now earlier this year I tried the 300 movie workout. It is a challenging 300 repetition workout put together by a trainer for the lead actor in the 300 movie. This isn't how they did their workouts...it was just a test of his strength-endurance.
Here's the workout...all exercises are done without rest. Just go, go, go.
Pullups - 25 reps
Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50 reps
Pushups - 50 reps
24-inch Box jumps - 50 reps
Floor wipers - 50 reps
1-arm 36lbs Kettlebell Clean n Press - 50 reps
Pullups - 25 reps
That was one tough workout. But like I said, I think I've put together something that is just as tough, and more available for people to do. Obviously both are advanced workouts...and you shouldn't do either unless you are as fit as a college athlete.
So here is my TT Bodyweight 500 Workout:
50 Prisoner Squats
50 Pushups
25 Jumps
25 Stability Ball Leg Curls
50 Stability Ball Jackknifes
50 Step-ups (25 reps per side)
25 Pull-ups (NO substitutions)
50 Forward Lunges (25 reps per side)
50 Close-grip Pushups
50 Inverted Rows
50 Squats
25 Chin-ups (NO substitutions)
Whew! Where you are really going to slow down is with the pulling exercises. That is a lot of chinups and pullups and rows to do in one workout. Your abs will be burning, your arms pumped, and sweat will be dripping off you after this one.
You can watch the workouts on the Internet. Just search Youtube for Bodyweight 500 or Turbulence Training.
However, I will say this one more time. This is a very advanced workout. So don't do it unless you are already fit.
If you aren't super-fit, but want to work up in a challenge, I have an alternative for you. Start with the following workout, called the Bodyweight 100. Please note: This is still not a beginner workout.
Here is the bodyweight 100. Do the 100 workout on a Saturday. After 7 days, try it again, doing it two times. One week after that, try doing it 3 times. Then you could be ready for the Bodyweight 500 in the fourth week.
20 Prisoner Squats
20 Pushups
10 Jumps
10 Inverted Rows
20 Forward Lunges (10 reps per side)
15 Close-grip Pushups
5 Chin-ups or Inverted Rows
Those are the 300 and Bodyweight 500 workouts. The 300 and 500 workouts will incinerate fat like a blast furnace.
But,I have a question for you.
Do you have a bath every day?
If you answered yes..then I have another question for you..
Why?
I know your answer is "to clean my body of all the external toxins and impurities".Right?
Ok.Now tell me what do you do to clean your body internally?Better still, what about cleaning your own mind of negative toxins everyday?
Have you ever thought about it?
You may be thinking what have these questions got to do with burning fat.Let me explain....
You eat every day and you breath every moment.These life giving acts of yours produce toxins and waste products every moment you live on this planet.
Breathing produces carbon dioxide and eating produces lots of noxious gases and sludge(waste matter).
90% of these toxins are expelled through the breath 8% are expelled through the excretory organs and 2%are expelled through the skin etc.
But the reality is...most of the population uses only 30% of their lung capacity and the colons of most of them is clogged with wastage and toxins!
This means that the toxins that are produced every moment of your exstence are getting piled up inside your own body because of lack of cleaning and internal house keeping of your body.
In other words..you only clean your body from the outside ignoring the inside where all the wastage is stored.
Your mind is another store house of all the negative emotions(mental toxins) that you experience in the course of everyday life.
These toxins are the No.1 cause of fat deposit in your body.Toxins stored around cells make fat burning almost impossible.Without getting rid of these toxins all your efforts to lose weight by dieting will go waste.
Because,
"Shifting to a healthier diet plan without getting rid of the toxins in the body is just like putting a freshly prepared cake in a bin full of garbage! The cake also becomes garbage in a short while".
This is the reason why 98%people fail on a diet.
So the only solution for burning fat effectively is by getting rid of toxins first from your body and mind.
