Turbulence Training Update for TT VIP's
Brought to you by Craig Ballantyne
==============================================
Thanks for your feedback on yesterday's "10 Exercises to STOP Doing".
Since I had a lot of questions on what you can still do, I put
together a list of replacement exercises.
1) First, just to clarify, you can still do Clean and Presses if you
do the exercise properly with the right equipment. If you have any
doubts about form, do squats supersetted with overhead presses instead.
2) You can also still do box jumps, side-to-side jumps, vertical
jumps, etc.
Again, just make sure all jumps are done with proper form and not
to failure. Also, make sure your jump training is done on a wooden
floor or grass, NEVER on concrete or pavement.
3) You can still do regular dips (at a dip station). Here's Bill
Hartman's recommendation on form:
Do dips with "a forward lean and with your hips and knees flexed
roughly 90 degrees".
I use this exercise in the TT for Abs DVDs Advanced Workouts, and
you'll see proper demonstration in the manual and DVDs here:

4) By the way, if you have bad shoulders, here's a great exercise
tip I found from Joe DeFranco. Joe recommends doing 100 reps of band
pull-aparts every day. Do them in 4 sets of 25.
Just hold a resistance band with your hands spaced shoulder width
apart, and using light to moderate tension, pull the band apart by
squeezing your shoulder blades together.
I did 4 sets of 25 on Monday, and my upper back and rear-deltoids
felt tremendous all day. I'm adding these to my warm-up routine at
least 3 days per week.
5) To replace sit-ups, crunches, and russian twists (and V-ups too,
as those are another nasty exercise on your low back), use these
5 replacement exercises:
- Planks
- Side Planks
- Stability Ball Planks
- Stability Ball Rollouts
- Stability Ball Jackknives
NOTE: You can also use the TRX or other straps for a lot of these
better ab exercises.
If you have the TT for Abs DVDs, you'll be able to follow along with
me as we do those exercises together in the comfort of your own home.

But remember, today (unfortunately) is the last day for the TT for
Abs DVD Ballantyne's Day Sale.
(Hey, when you have your own holiday, you like to make it last as
long as possible, right?)
So make sure you get those follow-along at-home workouts today before
the price jumps up by $200.
Sincerely,

PS - If you're a trainer, the following two books are MANDATORY...
...for you to read. They will make you a better trainer and keep
your client healthier and fitter.
1) Dr. Stuart McGill's "Ultimate Back Fitness & Performance"
2) Schuler & Cosgrove's, "The New Rules of Lifting for Abs"
If you're a trainer and you don't make an effort to read these books
ASAP, I'd find that very disappointing.
