Combining Interval training with strength training is a form of training that has been coined turbulence training. Getting all the necessities in one workout so that you get your workout done quickly with a ton of intensity. Often you can have a fantastic workout completed within 45 minutes.

Start your workout with a 5 minute bodyweight warm up. The warm up is not an option it is as much a part of the workout as any other part. After the warm up is complete, move on to the muscle building part of the workout. This will last for approx 20 minute. You can train with barbells or dumbbells or even more bodyweight training. Just one real rule here; no using cheesy equipment. We are looking for intensity, don’t waste your time by slacking on the strength training.

Once done the strength training portion we head straight into the interval fitness portion of the workout. By combining your workout like this you make the most of your time. Getting the most out of your workout and getting in and out of the gym in the least amount of time. No need to spend hours doing cardio, or working out every day of the week.

Using your own bodyweight instead of plates, the Chuck Norris Total Gym is an easy to use, quick to set up, all inclusive body conditioning gym.


Designed exclusively for home users, the total gym helps you burn calories as well as workout every area of the body. Just like the TV infomercial says, it only takes a few minutes (we suggest at least 20 minutes) to get a solid workout. Do it daily, or 3 or 4 times a week and you’ll never have to pay for a gym membership to a health club or rec center again!

Unlike the Bowflex gym, or a number of other home gyms from Weider, BodyCraft, BodySolid, and all the rest – THIS GYM COMES COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED.

That’s right. You don’t have to put together all the nuts and bolts and plates and seats and all the rest like other gyms require. A home gym can take as long as 6 hours or more to assemble which is why the Chuck Norris Total Gym is ideal for many people who are not handy with a wrench and screwdriver, and just want to set up a small home gym without a lot of fuss.

The gym concept is a glideboard that rolls along rails. You sit, lay, or kneel on the board and pull on the pulleys. The more you pull down on the pulley the more the glideboard, with you on it, slides on the rail. Use the seat flat, inclined, or declined to hit all the muscles groups.

Your bodyweight acts as the resistance, but you aren’t lifting you full weight. For example, you can set the incline/decline to feel like you are lifting just 4% of your respective body weight, or go as high as 60% of your bodyweight at the top setting.

If you have been wanting to buy a Pilates trainer but couldn’t afford one, the Chuck Norris Total Gym is the next best thing. It’s an ideal concept for combining strength training along with cardiovascular training. A workout chart is included in the purchase so you able to get started right away.

Check out the Total Gym® Home Fitness Equipment, endorsed by Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley, at the official website. They have inexpensive glideboards starting at $199, and have other models priced at $400, $600, and the high end gym at $1200.

Don’t Miss! They are so sure you’ll love this gym that they have a cool offer: Try Total Gym® for 30 days for $1 – that’s One Dollar. With free shipping, it’s a no-brainer. Get the gym. Get fit. Get right.

If you’re just starting to work towards the goal of losing belly fat you may be feeling slightly intimidated. There is so much information out there about different approaches to weight loss that you may not even know where to start! Fortunately, if you remember a few key steps, you can be well on your way to results. Below is a five week schedule that introduces a new element to a successful plan to lose belly fat. If you can add each element at the week indicated, you’ll be on your way to success.

Week #1: Increase Your Vegetable Intake.

For week one of this belly fat loss program, the first thing you’re going to do is focus on increasing your vegetable intake. For this week, start each meal off by eating at least two cups of vegetables first. While it may seem weird to eat this first and then move on to the rest of your meal, you would be surprised at how many calories you’ll save. Once you get used to eating so many vegetables and lower amounts of other foods, then you can start mixing your meal together as usual again. Remember a starter salad will also count in this case.

Eat less … lose weight?!? Here’s the other stuff you can do to get leaner.

1) Don’t diet to extremes. Reducing calories by 15-20% a day will almost exclusively burn fat while larger cuts in calories will burn a combo of muscle tissue and fat. Muscle drives the metabolism – calorie burning. If you’re currently eating 3000 calories, reduce to 2400-2550, but do so according to smart guidelines like those laid out in The Living Health Weight Loss Audio.

2) Graze all day. Professional athletes and models eat all day long yet keep their total calories under control. The grazing method, 5-6 small meals, elevates the metabolism. Each time you eat, the metabolism increases, and over a 6-10 week period, that increase can parlay into another 2-3 pounds of fat loss.

3) Increase Protein. Carbs, protein and fat – are equal in their efficiency to be stored as body fat, but protein exerts a greater metabolic boosting effect than carbs or dietary fat. When calories drop, protein saves muscle which helps keep the metabolism elevated. Aim for 1.2 grams per pound of bodyweight daily.

4) Play with Carbs. Carbs help retain metabolic boosting muscle yet they can stimulate fat storage. Following a modified low carb diet – staggering your carbohydrate intake is one of the most effective ways to jump start your metabolism and to burn stubborn fat fast (as outlined in Maximize Your Metabolism and the Living Health Audio Program.)

Have you noticed how much fatter people have gotten since more “weight loss” and “diet” foods have been put out on the market? Well, I assure you it’s no coincidence. Processed Foods can truly be considered “Non Foods” since they resemble more of a science experiment than they do real food.

1.To make differentiating between healthy natural food vs. non foods, just stay away from anything that contains ingredients on a label that you can’t pronounce. If the ingredients list to your favourite cereal is more complicated than your college organic chemistry final, chances are you should stay away from it at all costs. These chemicals are all toxins to your body (just as artificial sweeteners are) and your liver becomes extremely overwhelmed trying to rid your body of these harmful toxins. Why is this important in your efforts to lose fat? Well, the other job of your liver is to burn body fat and if it is too busy ridding you of toxic overload, it has no time (or energy) to get rid of your unwanted fat.

2.Are you Training for Sumo Wrestling? Sumo wrestlers make a concerted effort to get fat for their sport. So if your number one goal was to GET FAT this is exactly what you could do: – Skip breakfast and eat very little all day long – Eat the bulk of your caloric intake in a large heavy meal, filled with complex carbohydrates in the evening – Go to bed after eating this heavy meal. That’s it. This strategy has been working for sumo wrestlers for years. And you know who else it is working for? The 130 million people who are overweight or obese. You must develop the habit of eating frequent meals all day long to develop the kind of warp speed metabolism that is going to allow you to get lean and stay lean (no sense in getting there without being able to maintain it right?) Eat 5-7 well portioned meals each day and you will see your body burn fat faster than you can say “sumo wrestler.”
