Why We Love Turbulence Training

I’ve been super active my whole life. I grew up on a farm and spent hours doing chores. I ran cross country in high school, and I spent many hours at the gym while in college to reduce stress (and to chat up the pretty girls).

After graduation, I landed a job with a well-funded Silicon Valley start up. I was stoked. I’m writing code with some of the smartest, coolest people in the world. We work hard and we work a lot. The company provides us with sodas and snacks, has cots for naps and even showers, and we have golf carts to get around the campus. It’s awesome.

After a year, the only part I didn’t still love about the job was my new ‘love handles.’ Well, and my butt was bigger too, to tell the truth. My old clothes were too tight, and I didn’t feel healthy. All those sodas and long hours motionless before my computer screen and riding in the golf cart were making me fat.

And not just me. So this spring, my fellow geeks and I decided to get fit. We researched fitness programs that met our specific criteria:

• We don’t have a lot of time. We’re devoted to our jobs, we’re scrambling to be the first to market. We can’t afford to take too much time to work out.
• We don’t have a lot of money. That will change after our IPO, but right now, we can’t join a gym or buy a Bowflex™.
• We need a proven, effective program. We’re all scientists. We’re not suckers for some fad diet that claims to melt fat away like magic.

We scoured the Internet and Men’s Fitness magazine. We read articles, checked facts, and all agreed that Turbulence Training was the way to go. It meets all of our requirements:

• With Turbulence Training, you just need to work out 3 or 4 times per week, and each session is only 20 – 25 minutes long, including the warm up. We can do this. We’ve been working out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at lunch.
• Turbulence Training program manual and MP3 video are available online and are a great value. No additional gym membership or fancy equipment is needed. Turbulence Training’s strength training exercises use your own body weight to provide resistance. We do these exercises in an empty conference room. For the interval cardio portion of the workout, we run or bike around town.
• Turbulence Training is proven, safe and effective. It is approved by doctors. The science behind the has been proven in multiple University studies. The guy who developed it, Craig Ballantyne, has a master’s degree. Thousands of people have followed the program with great results over the past 16 years.

Four weeks later, we are lean, mean code writing machines. We’ve all lost weight and inches. If you’re a busy professional but committed to losing weight and getting fit, check out Turbulence Training. Geeks don’t lie.
