Sample Bodywieght workout from Craig Ballantyne...

I've been following Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training for a couple of months now after a long, long lay-off. It feels good to workout hard and intense. But it feels even better spending only 20 to 30 minutes every other day working out hard. Here's the excerpt from Craig's recent blog post.. enjoy the workout!

Hi Timothy,

So I read in Men's Health that Obama goes to the gym 6 times per
week...he even does long cardio workouts!

But I'm not sure how he's going to pull that off now that he is
President of the good ol' USA.

Methinks he's going to need to learn about bodyweight exercises and
workouts that he can do in his bedroom at home. (Maybe even in the
Oval Office!)

So I dipped into my Bodyweight Cardio e-book and I'm giving him this
bodyweight workout as my Inauguration Day present to President Obama.

Here's the perfect way for him to do a quick workout first thing in
the morning before he starts his new job.

So President Obama, I give you the...

"Crazy 8-300 Turbulence Training Bodyweight Circuit"

o Do each exercise at a 1-0-1 pace except for the holds.
o For Burpees & Running High Knees, go as fast as possible.
o Do all exercises without resting between each.
o At the end of the circuit, rest 1 minute & repeat twice more for a
total of 3 "Crazy 8-300 Bodyweight Circuits".

1) Jumping Jacks - 60 reps
2) Spiderman Pushup - 10 reps per side
3) Walking Lunge - 15 reps per side
4) Spiderman Climb - 10 reps per side
5) Wall Squat Hold - 45 second hold
6) Plank Hold - 60 second hold
7) Burpees - 5 reps
8] Running High Knees - 25 reps per side

Enjoy!

My target this year is to get a lean physique before end of April. The best thing is, I'm working out with my sweet Betty. We plan to get married by year end. So, must get the 6-pack abs out before then... Cheers!
