If you’re looking for faster fat loss, it is essential that you create a situation where your body burns more fat at rest.
While at first this seems impossible, it’s actually VERY possible.
From a scientific standpoint, it’s called cellular disruption.
Basically how it works is that your training session creates such a disturbance in the normal homeostatic environment that your body loves (it hates change…go figure) that it takes hours (even days with the right protocol) for your metabolic processes to return to normal.
During this time of metabolic disturbance your body shifts toward an increased utilization of fats for energy.
If you think this type of training program requires endless aerobic activity, you’d be dead wrong.
If you think it’s about endless sets of high reps, you’re wrong again.
Both of these approaches fail to create an elevated metabolism AFTER you train, and worse yet, you’ll most likely loose precious, metabolically active muscle.
What you need is intensity.
Now I told you that to tell you this.
I spoke at the Midwest Strength, Conditioning, and Rehabilitation Symposium this past year. I was really glad that I did because I got to hang out with some of the top names in the strength and conditioning field like Brian Grasso, Tony Reynolds, Evan Osar, Juan Carlos Santana, Scott Hudson, Lee Taft, and Craig Ballantyne.
Craig was a guy that I was really looking forward to listening to and meeting because we had been communicating for a couple of years, worked on some stuff together, but just never got a chance to meet face to face.
Craig didn’t let me down. Not only does he look like a guy who practices what he preaches (he’s JACKED folks), Craig laid out his entire approach to creating cellular disruption to a large gathering of personal trainers who were feverishly taking notes. I’m sure there was a large number of fitness clients that benefited from their trainer’s new level of training knowledge after that weekend.
Craig doesn’t call his program cellular disruption or metabolic disturbance.
He calls it Turbulence Training (this may be one of my favorite names in all of fitness).
I’ve been lucky to have had access to his program for some time and from day one I was impressed with Craig’s ability to blend the best of science with solid training theory to create one powerful program.
Actually it’s several programs…and I’ve found them to all be effective.
Craig has adapted his training concepts to address trainees of all levels and both sexes. He even eliminates your excuses for missing a training session when there’s no equipment available by providing a full program of body weight exercises.
You don’t have to take my word for it. You can see the countless fitness pros that recommend it as well.
