Why is it Called Turbulence Training?

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines turbulence as “a great commotion or agitation.” Many travelers have experienced turbulence on airplanes and know the sinking feeling it creates as all expectations of a smooth and easy flight are tossed aside. There’s now a workout program that throws all expectations out the window and gives people an easy to follow, three day a week workout.

Craig Ballantyne named his fitness program Turbulence Training because it agitates the body, works it hard over a short period of time, and prevents muscle memory ensuring an effective muscle-building, fat-blasting workout every time.

Using an easy to follow blueprint this revolutionary workout program guides users through strength training and intervals using a special combination of short bursts of high-intensity cardio and turbulence training review complementary supersets combining a lower body and an upper body strength training exercise back-to-back with no rest. In his October 2004 Men’s Fitness article Ballantyne refers to these combinations of two body weight bearing exercises as non-competing supersets because they use different muscle groups which works nearly the entire body out with just two simple exercises.
