A week ago I signed up for the 5th Turbulence Training 12 week Transformation Contest.

So far I’ve been through 4 great training days with Turbulence Training.

Maybe it’s because I’ve only done two different Beginner Workouts (which is only 2 sets of each superset), but I’m in and out of the gym faster than anybody else.

It feels great to leave home, drive to the gym, change, go through the resistance training, do 20 minutes of interval training and be done showering within an hour.

When I move away from the Beginner Workouts to workouts with 3 set of each superset then it will take a bit longer, but my guess is that I’ll still be the fastest in and out of the gym.

The first time I did each exercise I brought both the exercise plan and the illustration of the exercises with me, because I had no clue what DB Row, 1-Leg Hip Extension or any of the other exercises looked like.

Right now I’ve learned the exercises from the Beginner Workouts so I don’t need the illustrations, but I guess the illustrations will come into play again once I move on to new workouts.

I set a goal to lose 20 kilo in 12 weeks, but so far I’m behind schedule with a minimal weight loss of .8 kilo in the first week.

I’m going to increase my rest day activity by doing some bodyweight exercises and will probably also incorporate 1 or 2 fasting days per week into my schedule.

My initial experiment with combining Eat Stop Eat with resistance training worked well (but that was before I even started with  the Turbulence Training workouts) and there is a lot of people on the TT forum who have been combining Eat Stop Eat and Turbulence Training with great success, so I don’t think it will be a problem at all.

I’m using FitDay to track my weight and to some extent my diet and I’m keeping a contest journal updated daily on the TT Forums – and then there is of course my already published Before photos which helps me keep on track.
