Are you going to let this stop you? (Seriously?)

GUEST POST BY Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS



If I have been too subtle in the past, let me be absolutely clear
today:

The time to do something, the time to take action to transform your
body, improve your health and energy for your family, and
dramatically boost your confidence is NOW.

I am even more passionate about this issue today than ever before,
and with good reason.

In the last week I have received personal emails from so many new TT
members who are struggling with their weight, looking for miracles,
and ready to cave in to long, slow, dreadful cardio workouts...

Everyone around them, from the gym sales people to well meaning
friends, and even the "energizer bunny TV exercise gurus" are trying
to create fear that "without cardio you can't lose weight".

Baloney.

I'll spare you the details as you've probably heard them before, but
the most important fact is that you will not dramatically transform
your body and lose fat with long, slow, cardio workouts...you'll
lose only your time and money.

And nothing makes me angrier than what I saw at the gym on Saturday,
where a trainer was taking a beginner client through an excruciating
90 minute workout - including an hour of slow cardio (could you
imagine the gall of the trainer to charge a client to monitor their
cardio?!?!).

I almost ripped my workout journal in half from disgust as I
listened to myth after myth come out of this trainer's mouth.

"Long slow cardio for at least an hour..."

"Light weights, high reps, for about 30-45 minutes after cardio..."

"Add some more cardio on an empty stomach first thing in the morning..."

ENOUGH!

What is going to take for people to realize that this approach is
never going to work for them long-term?

Who has 3 hours per day to go to the gym?

Do they need to lose their family and friends before they realize
that there is a much simpler way of changing their body?

As Dave Kekich says in Kekich Credo #84, "Nobody gets old by surprise."

The time to change is NOW.

So what should you do?

1) Get started in the 10th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest.

There is no cost to enter and you can WIN $1000 by losing belly fat.

Here are all of the details to start:

=> Turbulnce Training
(Hurry, last day to enter is Saturday, January 15th.)

And remember: A 12 week transformation is only 0.3% of your life. If
you focus on learning about your body for 12 weeks it will allow you
to be lean forever.

The TT Transformation is the 0.3% solution you've been looking for.

2) Stick to the basics.

Sure it's easy to get caught up in the latest "weight loss craze",
but it is essential for you to never stray too far from the basics.

a) Keep and review your food journal regularly.
b) Use a proven, structured workout program that gets you maximum
results in minimum time - you don't even need a gym membership.
c) Surround yourself with social support at home, work, and online.

These are the most important factors in your fat loss success and
all of those are covered with Turbulence Training here:

3) I want you to put a little urgency into your fat loss program.

IMAGINE: What if you had to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks or you lost
your job, could you do it?

Imagine you had to go to jail if you skipped your workout to sit on
the couch instead - would you make that workout?

You just need to find compelling motivation to stick to your plan,
so spend some time in reflection on that - and find YOUR REASON.

We have had transformation winners from all ages and all walks of
life, including 44 year old Catherine from California, 58 year old
Guttorm from Norway, 44 year old Hal from America, and 28 year
old Emily living in Spain.

All of our winners have been busy, frustrated, intimidated, and
definitely skeptical of what Turbulence Training could do.

But they all had big plans. They conceived and believed that they
could make major accomplishments. And they lost 14, 27 and even 34
pounds of fat in just 12 weeks.

Remember...

Nobody gets old by surprise.

Nobody.

No one is in a "perfect environment" to transform their body. We all
have stress and time limits. That's why you need a proven plan. Not
one "made up" by an inexperienced personal trainer or your well
meaning but informed friends.

If our past winners can do it, so can you. If they can find a way,
so will you. You could live in Australia, England, Dubai, America,
Canada, Argentina, or anywhere else - we all have an equal chance to
transform our bodies and our lives.

So those are the 3 main things I want you to change today.

I have a lot of work to do to help you make this your best year ever,
and I'm working on new programs that will take you through the
contest to give you more results faster than ever.

Feel free to share this message with your friends and family if you
think it will help them.

One of my favorite contest winners, Guttorm, actually received
Turbulence Training as a gift from his wonderful daughter...and I
don't think it is an exaggeration to say that it has changed his life.

Please let me know how Turbulence Training is changing yours.

You can - and will - do it.
