Millions of men and women want to lose weight because they are sick of their excess body fat and low energy levels. If that sounds like you, then you need to join the Turbulence Training weight loss transformation contest.

There's already been some powerful, emotional stories told in fitness magazines, and folks from all over the world are helping one another to finally change their bodies. Your weight loss transformation is going to be an amazing 12 weeks. So I thought this would be the best time to give you my Top 7 Transformation Tips to help you lose more weight in the next 12 weeks.

Here are my Top 7 Transformation Secrets that you can use to burn fat from all over your body with Turbulence Training.

Tip #1) Clean out the pantry

One of the biggest pitfalls in a weight loss program is added sugar and mindless snacking (especially between getting home from work and dinner).

Get rid of the junk. Toss it. Better the garbage can eats it than you do.

Tip #2) Stop doing slow boring cardio

Increase the intensity of your workouts and switch to interval training. And yes, even beginners can do interval training when using the metabolism-boosting short, burst workout system.

Tip # 3) Use professionally designed, structured workouts such as my Turbulence Training Workouts that have been featured in Men's Health magazine

You should be in and out of your short, burst workouts in less than 45 minutes, three times per week. On the other 4 days of the week, stay active, getting at least a 30-minute walk in each day.

Tip #4) Set up home gym with ball, bench, and adjustable dumbbells

That's all you need. If you are feeling frisky, you can add a pull-up bar to
your home gym.

But to change your body, you only need a little bit of equipment at home. You don't need an expensive gym membership or one of those colossal home gyms, or even a pricey bowflex.

Your body doesn't discriminate on price. It simply responds to the turbulence training you put on your body, and you can do that on the cheap.

Tip #5) Use short, burst Bodyweight Circuits at home instead of using cardio machines.

Choose 3 lower body exercises and 3 upper body exercises. Alternate between upper and lower body bodyweight exercises. Watch my youtube video on circuit training for more details.

Tip #6) Plan, shop, and prepare your food

Finding the right nutrition program is CRITICAL to success, and so is planning. You can't out-train a bad diet, but you can out-plan bad habits. So invest 2 hours on the weekend to prepare as many of your fat burning meals as possible for the week ahead.

Tip #7) Get Social Support

This is the most important Weight Loss Secret that no one pays attention to.

But the bottom line is...you can't do this on your own.

You need support from others to stick to your workouts, to make the right diet choices day-in and day-out and to have someone prop you up when you are feeling down and also to "call you out" when you are feeling like cutting corners.

Get social support on your side today with help from Turbulence Training.

Put these 7 Secrets to use today and you can lose 14-30 pounds in 12 weeks just like our past Transformation Contest Winners. And please refer your friends to the contest. You'll be supporting them and helping them change their bodies & their lives.

I can't wait to hear about your results in the Turbulence Training transformation contest.

Sandbag Training for Baby Boomers

While sandbag training has been associated with "underground" training because of its difference from traditional healthclub equipment, it is also an excellent fat loss tool.

For Baby Boomers, it can increase their energy levels while making ordinary activities around the house that much easier. Because every exercise works your midsection while your upper or lower body is working, it also makes for a very efficient, time-saving workout.

Putting long hours in at your job and keeping up with your kids or grandkids' sporting events and activities leaves little time for exercise, causing many to not even bother as they think hours and hours of boring exercise at the gym is required.

Not so!!

When you do strength training exercises that involves your large muscle groups and several joints, you can burn more calories. Go from one exercise to the next with little rest in between and you can get a lot of work done in a short amount of time.

This is the key to losing fat without taking several hours to do so.

Because sandbags have the tendency to shift when you lift them, it involves more work from your core to stabilize your spine, which is a good thing. This type of exercise can increase the strength of your midsection, protecting your low back from potential injury.

It also simulates some of the movements you do around the house or in your work or sport environment. I like to combine sandbag exercises with bodyweight movements like pushups, stepups, and lunges, as well as band and dumbbell exercises.

By combining these exercises in a circuit you can burn lots of calories and keep your metabolism elevated for several hours, which is the real key to burning fat for those with limited time to exercise.

So while they may not be found in most healthclubs, sandbag training is not just for intense, underground types - they work equally well for most Baby Boomers.

Coach Josh Henkin has created some great sandbags that I really enjoy using. Check out his website, Sandbag Exercises.
