There’s only a few more hours left of the 50% off of Turbulence Training from Craig Ballantyne, so if one of your New Year’s resolutions a few hours ago was to get fit and healthy in 2010 and drop those dangerous extra kilo, then now is the time to take action.

Getting Craig’s training programs really is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a workout program that keep changing every month and has a forum attached to it where you can go to get answers to all your questions as well keep yourself accountable by keeping a fitness journal there.

And if you’re really looking for something extra to keep you accountable, then you have until January 15 to join the 7th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest – having your before pictures posted and the forum community to back you up is a great way to stay dedicated for the first 12 weeks.

Right now there’s the option of getting TT at 50% discount

Tomorrow this will be gone, but there’s still the Trial offer which is the option I sprung for when I first joined TT.

Oh, and if you’re looking for even more accountability then grab hold of me and let’s go through TTTC#7 together.

Vote for your favorite body – hot chicks and buff dudes ahead

Turbulence TrainingIt’s time once again to cast your vote for the Turbulence Training Transformation Contest finalists.

This is the 6th 12-week transformation contest that Craig Ballantyne has arranged.

I’ve got two recommendations for you that I want you to do right now.

First I think you should go and look at the before and after photos of the Male, Female and Advanced finalists – and read their essays as well.

The visual transformation as stunning as it is really pales in comparison to the personal transformations that these finalists have gone through during the 12 weeks of the competition.

Next I want you to cast your vote – all the finalists (and those who wasn’t picked as finalists) have put alot of work into getting to where they are now, and they really deserve to have lots of votes cast on them.

Thirdly I want you to consider signing up to become a Turbulence Training member yourself if you A) is overweight, B) want to lose weight and C) wouldn’t mind strengthening and toning your body in the process.

I fully stand behind my recommendation of Turbulence Training as a very effective and varied workout program.

In the 5th transformation contest I myself was a finalist, so I know first hand how effective Craigs programs was for me.

So, go check out the finalists, cast your vote and think about making a commitment to let 2010 be the year when you got back into shape and lost those dangerous extra kilo and pounds.

Becky Griggs – an inspiration

Posted in Exercise Health Weight
December 4th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

I just heard the story about Becky Griggs who lost a whopping 200 pounds and went on to become a personal trainer.

There’s quite some inspiration in her story.

And she didn’t achieve it through some miracle pill or with a secret diet – it was all “just” proper diet and exercise.

2010 is just a few weeks away now, so maybe it’s time to figure out what your weight loss and diet goals will be for 2010.

Spend some time between now and January 1st to figure out how you will change your diet and spend some time researching different training programs.

Then on January 1st start implementing your new food habits and begin working out – if Becky Griggs can do it, then you can certainly too.

WiFi Body Fat Scale with Free iPhone App

Posted in Weight
October 21st, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

Some time ago I bought a body fat scale to keep track of my diet and training progress.

A really cool scale that I could connect to my pc via a USB cable and upload date, weight, body fat percentage and lean body mass.

I really liked it, but now I really wished I had known about this cool body fat scale from Withings 6 months ago.

It’s been a long time since I was so thrilled to read about a gadget – but this Body Fat scale combines functionality with a cool feature – and looks good as well.

The thing about my USB scale that I loved the most was that I didn’t have to write all my stats down every morning and manually type them into a spreadsheet to get the graphs I wanted – I just plugged the USB cable in and uploaded the data once a week or so.

But there was one major hassle – I had to pick up the scale, make sure I didn’t drop it, walk down to my PC on the ground floor to plug it in – and carry it upstairs again afterwards.

The body fat scale from Withings takes that hassle away. You see, this is not just an ordinary scale – it has a built-in wireless connection so you don’t even have to worry about USB cables anymore.

So, the scale is good looking, it connects and uploads data wirelessly – and both the free iPhone App that comes with it and the web interface looks really cool.

And there’s a chance it can become even cooler since Withings have released an API for it – so be on the lookout for integration with various fitness and health oriented websites that currently allows you to track your weight.

I checked the specs and not only does it support measurements in both Kilo (kg) and Pounds (lbs) – it also supports displaying your weight in Stones and Pounds (stlb)

It measures with a precision or granularity of 0.1 kg which is the norm in current electronic scales.

It measures body fat and lean body mass and calculates your BMI as well.

Unfortunately I’ve used up all my “can I buy this scale honey?”-goodwill for 2009 so I’m sadly not going to get it, but if you’re looking for a really cool scale, then go and get yourself a Withings Connected Body Scale

Fat Loss Quickie Transformation Contest

Posted in Exercise Weight
September 22nd, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

Here’s an interesting transformation contest – sort of the same as Craig Ballantynes Turbulence Training Transformation Contest, but still very different.

This one is also a 12 week – aka 84 day challenge, but unlike TTTC it spans Fitness, Business and Life.

What separates this contest from TTTC is that there are prizes given away every 21 days – and then a grand finale prize at the end of the 84 days.

I’m tempted to join this one as well as the TTTC that I’m currently doing just for the Business and Life part of it, and continue with my Turbulence Training workouts for the Fitness part.
