“What is Metabolic Resistance Training”
By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS, CTT

What the heck are these metabolic resistance training workouts that everyone keeps talking about for fat loss? Well, you’ve probably heard the term because the internet is buzzing about this type of training for fat burning.

After all, gone are the days of slow cardio for weight loss. Heck, even interval training is starting to get passed over. All in favor of this specific type of workout called metabolic resistance training.

It’s really exciting though, to know that we can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, while getting lean and even having ripped six-pack abs thanks to these short, burst workouts. And you don’t need fancy, expensive equipment. Instead, you can focus on using bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, kettlebell exercises, or even TRX exercises.

Anytime you use supersets or circuits and train with an elevated heart rate and insufficient recovery. You are doing metabolic resistance training. But the metabolic resistance training used by Turbulence Training readers is different.

Thanks to a conversation I had with Alwyn Cosgrove, I’ve modified the heavy metabolic resistance training and also incorporated metabolic resistance conditioning using lighter resistance, and less rest.

In this new Turbulence Training metabolic resistance training workout program, you’ll get 4 workouts, broken down into these two components. Two workouts of heavy metabolic resistance training and two workouts of metabolic conditioning. The heavy workouts are done first, and are followed immediately the next day by the conditioning workouts.

I’ll be writing a lot more about metabolic resistance and conditioning workouts in the future to help you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. That’s the beauty of the system; not only do the fast-paced, short burst workouts help you burn a ton of calories, but if your goal is muscle building, you can do that too.

Until then, get ready to use a few new exercises and a few training methods we haven’t used before to elevate ” in-workout and after-workout” calorie burning.

It’s all about working your metabolic systems for maximum calorie burning, while only permitting yourself to have incomplete recovery. These are the intense workouts you’ve been looking for. No more slow, boring, monotonous cardio workouts that take forever.
Those days are over.

So be prepared to hear a lot more about MRT and metabolic lifting and conditioning workouts. And again, you aren’t limited to machines or weights. You can do these workouts with almost any equipment, and even with bodyweight exercises only, as my bodyweight cardio circuits have proven.

You’ll have a total blast even doing these types of programs at the park with your TRX and kettlebells and bodyweight. You’ll be so much better off than being stuck in stuffy gym with machines. And make sure to watch my video to find out why MRT might even be better than traditional interval training.

Times are a-changing.

The entire fitness industry is going through a revolution where we move away from bodybuilder and cardio bunny workouts. And that’s a good thing. Doing less cardio and eliminating little isolation exercises, such as crunches, from your routines will help you get results fast.

Get started with the Turbulence Training Metabolic Resistance Training workouts here.

You now have a fun, four-day program that will get you ripped and
give you the body that you deserve.

Train hard but safe with new MRT workouts.

I bet everyone reading this has had a hamburger that tastes better than anything on the McDonalds menu. So it’s fair to say that McDonalds may not have the best hamburgers in the world right?

So why then do people invest several million dollars in a McDonalds franchise?

I’ll tell you ….. It’s not the hamburgers. It’s not the fries. And it’s not the special sauce.

It’s the SYSTEM. The fastest way to results is to follow a proven system.

The word system is essentially an acronym for

SAVE
YOUR
SELF
TIME
ENERGY
MONEY

You see McDonalds has developed an absolutely perfect turn-key business SYSTEM. You don’t have to know how to make a hamburger, how long to cook the fries for, how much salt to add — you just need to follow the system. It’s done for you.

Now sure – you can invest your efforts, time, energy and money and maybe — maybe – several years from now you’ll have come up with a better method.

Or you could learn their system now and save yourself years of frustration.

The fitness business is the same. when we added a shake/smoothie bar to our gym we looked for an established company with a proven system. When we added kettlebell training and group classes we looked for a company that already had a tested, proven system.

In this economy – one of the key things to focus on is your ability to change and offer new services. Clients needs and desires are changing rapidly – so as business owners, we need to evolve our offerings and introduce new services.

One of the fastest growing markets for fitness professionals right now are bootcamp classes. Bootcamps are a low cost program for the client, but can be very profitable for the business just due to the sheer numbers that you can work with.

Provided your programming is excellent. It all falls apart if you don’t get great results.

But just like the McDonalds example – starting from scratch and trying to figure it out on your own is waste of time, energy and money. You need a system.

If you haven’t run bootcamps or large group workouts before, the one thing you DO NOT want to spend time doing is trying to figure out how to design the workouts, what equipment you’ll need, how to adjust your current one-on-one programs to bigger groups etc etc.

And the good news? You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It’s already been done.

Turbulence Training founder Craig Ballantyne has just launched a complete Turbulence Training Bootcamps product that includes 21 done for you bootcamp workouts to help you make more money in less time – all based on the proven, time tested Turbulence Training Fat Loss Bodyweight only workouts. That’s right – you don’t need any equipment to start these programs right away.

If you are interested in expanding the offerings in your business or getting into larger group training — then this product is definitely for you.

Seriously -this is as close to “done for you” as it gets – other than Craig actually showing up in your town to run the session for you.
Your only other option up to now has been to invest in a 5-figure franchise or “Wing-it”. This investment is a lot less expensive and a lot smarter than just improvising.
