Do you know the 2 biggest reasons
men and women stop exercising?
1) Lack of time
2) Lack of motivation
Let's tackle "Lack of Time"
today with 5 ways you can get your
workouts done faster. After all, no
one should spend more than 50 minutes
in the gym.
Here are 5 ways to cut time from
your workouts.
a) Supersets
I use "non-competing" superset.
This means, choose two exercises for
different muscle groups - and preferably
completely opposite movements. For
example, choose a push and a pull.
That way, one muscle group rests while
the other works...and you cut the
rest time you need between sets.
b) Choose a better warmup strategy
Don't waste 10 minutes walking on
the treadmill. Instead, use a
total body circuit of bodyweight exercises
as a general warmup, and then move
directly into specific warm-up sets
for your first two exercises.
c) Pair dumbbell and bodyweight exercises
together in your
supersets
This saves you time at home (you
don't need to change the dumbbell
weight between exercises) and in the
gym (you don't need to fight for 2
sets of dumbbells).
d) Choose Intervals over slow cardio
The latest research shows more weight
loss when people use
intervals, and intervals take half
as long to do.
e) Limit the use of isolation exercises
Pick multi-muscle exercises, such
as squats, pulls, pushes, and
rows. If you have time, you can squeeze
in some dropsets for arms and shoulders
if you want. However, if you only
have 3 sessions of 45 minutes per
week, isolation exercises must be
the first to go.
In addition, don't spend more than
10 minutes per week on direct ab training.
It's not efficient and won't give
you rock hard abs alone.

PS - Don't know where to start?
If you are a beginner, start by reading
Dr. Mohr's nutrition
guidelines...eating properly will
be the biggest factor in your
early success.
Beginners should also start with
the Introductory TT workouts to prepare
their muscles for the upcoming intense
training.
For others, it's best to start with
the Intermediate Level TT
workouts. If those aren't enough of
a challenge, you can move onto the
Original TT workout and follow the
16-week advanced program right through.
If at any time you need a break,
try the TT Bodyweight 4-week plan.
And then finish off with the TT Fusion
Fat Loss program followed by the 30-day
Maximum Fat Loss program to cap off
a full 24 weeks of Advanced TT fat
loss workouts.
After that, choose between the TT
for Women or TT for Muscle
programs to help put the finishing
touches on your physique. All of these
are included as bonuses with Turbulence
Training.
