Lifestyle Review
Disclaimer: See your physician before starting any exercise or nutrition program. You must have a
complete physical examination if you are sedentary, if you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or
diabetes, if you are overweight, or if you are over 30 years old. Please discuss all nutritional changes with
your physician or a registered dietician.

1. Do you schedule a yearly physical exam with your physician? You must have a full
physical examination if you are sedentary or if you have high cholesterol, high blood
pressure, diabetes, if you are overweight, or if you are over 30 years old. There are no
exceptions. If you meet any of the above requirements, schedule an examination.
2. Have you been given your physicians approval to begin a lifestyle program? You
must have your physicians approval to begin an exercise program. It is essential that
you have your physicians clearance and encouragement prior to starting this manual.
3. Do you have any injuries or medical conditions that would prevent you from
performing any type of exercise? Dont rush in to exercise. Talk to your doctor. Your
doctor understands your health and physical capacity better than you.
4. Discuss the results of this lifestyle review with your physician before you begin an
exercise program. Create a partnership with your doctor. Make your doctor part of
your fat loss and health-building team. With good communication and professional
instruction, you chances of success will be much greater.
5. Social support can be the #1 factor for success in fitness programs. While the
support can come from your spouse, brother or sister, child, mom or dad, friend,
neighbor, or co-worker, its a proven fact that individuals have a greater chance of
sticking to an exercise program when they have to be accountable someone like a
personal trainer or lifestyle coach. Dont try and do this on your own. Social support
is important in your quest for better health, fitness and fat loss.
6. Nutrition is the second most important factor for success in fat loss programs.
Do you keep a nutrition log? If not, start doing so! Record your nutrition for free on
www.fitday.com. Record every aspect of your nutrition for at least one week. Most
people have no idea how many calories they are eating each day.
7. Exercise is the third most important factor. Arrange to have a Fitness Assessment
with a certified personal trainer or certified strength and conditioning specialist
(CSCS). This will help identify your physical limitations and exercise capacity. It will
also help the trainer individualize the program for your training needs.
8. What is your current activity level? Log everything you do for at least one week to
get an idea of your daily energy expenditure (calories burned each day).

CBs Personal Turbulence Training Nutrition Fat Loss Plan

If you avoid the Western Lifestyle eating habits that tempt you on a daily basis, and live
according to the Turbulence Training Lifestyle, you can lose fat and gain muscle.
Im going to tell you the best way to eat for fat loss and muscle gain on a 2100 calorie per
day diet. You might say that you cant eat like this, but the truth is even if you start
making only one change per day you will start to see improvements. Make this a goal that
you will start today: to choose one healthier food option per day that will get you one step
closer to your lean body. Here are the guidelines.
- 8 meals per day
- Remove all sugar from diet.
- Have at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight (to a maximum of 250g per day)
- Have 3 servings of fruit per day (sticking to high-fiber fruits such as apples or grapefruit
and high-antioxidant fruits such as berries)
- Drink at least 4 cups of Green Tea
- Have a protein-only shake as your first post-workout meal.
- Have carbohydrates and protein in the second post-workout meal.
- Follow Dr. John Berardis 90% rule - if you eat according to the guidelines 90% of the
time, you can cheat 10% of the time and still make incredible body changes.
This is the exact meal plan & training plan I follow to get ultra-lean.
Id probably only need 3 weeks before I would be ripped - this approach is super fast and
effective. Plus, Im already very lean because I avoid the Western Lifestyle and live the
Turbulence Training Lifestyle everyday.
Meal 1:
3 Omega-3 eggs
1oz cheese
2 cups broccoli
6g fish oil
2 cups Green Tea
Meal 2:
1 cup plain yogurt
Chocolate protein powder to taste
cup blueberries
1 apple
1 cup Green Tea

TT Hardcore Fat Loss Guidelines

Disclaimer: See your physician before starting any exercise or nutrition program. You must have a
complete physical examination if you are sedentary, if you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or
diabetes, if you are overweight, or if you are over 30 years old. Please discuss all nutritional changes with
your physician or a registered dietician.

Perform this Turbulence Training workout for 4 weeks.

After 4 weeks, perform one week of low volume, high-intensity training (i.e.
train only 2 days in that week).
Take at least 1 full day of rest per week (you may perform light activities, i.e.
walking) on the rest day.
Each pair of exercises (i.e. 1A & 1B) constitutes a Superset. In each Superset, do
one set of the first exercise (1A), rest 30 seconds, and then do the next exercise (1B).
Rest 1 minute after completing the superset (i.e. after 1B).
Use the lifting tempo designated in the chart for each specific exercise.
Only perform the Clean & Press (Day 5) if you know how to do it with good form.
Dont train to failure. You should be able to do 1 more rep at the end of each set.
Finish each workout with stretching for the tight muscle groups only.

Warm-up
Never skip a warm-up.
Bodyweight Warm-up Circuit Go through the circuit 2xs. Use a 2-0-1 tempo for all
applicable exercises. Do not rest during the circuit.
Y-Squat 10 reps
Decline Pushups 8 reps
Bulgarian Split Squat 8 reps per side
Spiderman Climb 10 reps per side
For a specific warm-up, perform 2 sets of each exercise in the first set. Start with 50%
and then 75% of your real set weight. Perform 8 repetitions for each warm-up set.
If you are limited by time, reduce the number of sets in the workout, but always
perform the full warm-up.
Use the stretching guidelines at the end of each workout.

TT Hardcore Interval Training Guidelines

Workout A
Warm-up for 3 minutes using the same mode of exercise you will use for intervals
(i.e. if you are going to run for intervals, make sure you warm-up with running,
progressing from light to more intense exercise; if burpees do 30 bodyweight squats).
Choose between sprinting, cycling, or Burpees
Do 6 intervals of 30s with 30s rest between each.
Finish with 3 minutes of very low intensity (3/10) exercise for a cool-down.
Workout B
Warm-up for 3 minutes using the same mode of exercise you will use for intervals
(i.e. if you are going to run for intervals, make sure you warm-up with running,
progressing from light to more intense exercise).
Choose a different exercise method for your intervals each workout.
Perform an interval by exercising for 60 seconds at a very hard pace (at a subjective
9/10 level of intensity).
Your legs should be almost fatigued by the end of the interval and your heart
rate should be at approximately 90-95% of your estimated max heart rate.
Estimated max heart rate = 220 minus your age
Follow that with active rest for 90 seconds by exercising at a slow pace (at a
subjective 3/10 level of intensity).
Your heart rate should return to less than approximately 60% of your
estimated max heart rate.
Repeat for a total of 6 intervals.
Finish with 3 minutes of very low intensity (3/10) exercise for a cool-down.
Barbell Complexes
No rest between exercises.
You can use also DBs as an alternative.
Use a weight that you can Overhead Press 15 times.
Rest 1 minute at the end of the complex.
Repeat for no more than 3 rounds.
Use the bodyweight warm-up and then go directly into the Complex.

If using your right arm, your right hand should rest at your left shoulder.
Take your left arm and place it behind your right elbow. Slowly and gently apply
pressure just above your right elbow to feel a stretch in the back of the right shoulder.
Hold for 30 seconds and then repeat for the other side.
