Just finished up an incredible weekend in San Diego at the 1st ever Turbulence Training Summit. It was a life-changing event, filled with amazing people, including several Certified Turbulence Trainers and a one-hour on-stage interview with Catherine Gordon, the winner of our second ever TT contest. I'm still buzzing over the great workouts we did and people I met. The weekend far exceeded my expectations - and those of the attendees. Today I'm in Evergreen, Colorado at a friend's house, where I just did a bodyweight workout with their kids, Max (5 years old) and Bella (3 years old). We did an old man warmup, prisoner squats, mountain climbers, hip extensions, breakdancers, stickups, regular squats, planks, and pushups. About 2 half reps of each. Max said I earned my money. Good times But let me give you the rundown of the big TT weekend... Friday morning we kicked off with two bootcamp workouts, using towels for manual resistance in a TT Metabolic Resistance Training session. It was awesome, but Saturday's workout was even better...full details below. After a quick breakfast of an omelet with spinach and a side of fresh fruit, we kicked off the main seminar at 9:30 where I shared my goal of the 1 Million Transformation Mission. I spent the rest of the day - with the help of Certified Turbulence Trainer Chris Lopez - explaining the secrets of my TT Metabolic Resistance Training workouts, TT Abs sessions, TT Bodyweight Cardio, and interval training options. At night, following a Turbulence Training team meeting with my crew of Lesa (our customer service leader), Dan (TT workout video filming and editing), and Amy (my right hand gal), we had a massive reception and a little party-party for all seminar attendees. I was humbled by the folks who had traveled from as far as the Gold Coast of Australian and Manchester, England just to learn the TT workout secrets. By midnight (3am EST!) I was exhausted, but was up 5 hours later to prepare for another bootcamp workout. And it was a doozy. It shall forever be known as... "The Legendary TT Summit Metabolic Conditioning Bootcamp Workout" It started with a warm-up of: Arm Crosses (aka 'Ballantynes') Prisoner Squat Mountain Climber Touchdown Lunge Off-set Pushup T-Squat Spiderman Climb Side Shuffle Grasshopper Then into our tough strength superset/triset: 1A) Elevated Pushups or Spiderman Climb Pushup 1B) 1-leg Deadlift or 1 & 1/2 rep Split Squat 1C) (If we had a TRX, we'd have done a row there too) Next we started into Metabolic Conditioning Training - Burpees (30 seconds) - Diagonal Prisoner Lunges (30 seconds) - Plank to Triceps Extension (30 seconds) (Everyone clapped after that one...they loved the plank to triceps extension...it was new to a lot of folks.) Then another superset: - Jumping Jacks - Slow pushups (3 seconds up, 3 seconds down) Then a triset: - Burpees (20 seconds) - Prisoner Lunges (30 seconds) - Bodyweight Squats using the 20 second reps, 10 second hold (AWESOMENESS!) And then - yes, there was more and then - we did a Fantastic 400 Conditioning Session: 10 exercises, 40 seconds per exercise: - Jumping Jacks - Run in Place - Total Body Extension - Split Shuffle - Mountain Climber - Bodyweight Squat - Seal Jumps - Sumo Squat - Alternating Lunges - Pushups Whew. Finally, that was it. My legs were tired all day long. After, Chris Lopez, Certified Turbulence Trainer taught kettlebell exercises to the group, then we all went for breakfast and returned for what might have been the most powerful hour of the seminar... The Transformation Success Interview with Catherine Gordon, the amazing woman who won the 2nd ever TT Transformation Contest. Catherine wow'd the crowd. She is amazing. She inspired the trainers and she inspired me. For the rest of the day, we talked about the Turbulence Training 1 Million Mission.
