Maverick Business Adventure ?

My friends are bugging me...big time! A couple of them went to a Maverick Business Adventure hosted by Yanik Silver. It sounds like such an awesome time…check this out from my friend Craig Ballantyne…

“I thought driving a formula one race car around the Las Vegas speedway was crazy (I did that in January), but what I did last month was 10 times more intense.

You see, back in May, I was in Las Vegas at a "Maverick Business Adventure".

On one of the days, we went on a "Zero-Gravity Flight" - where we were literally weightless for 25 seconds at a time - talk about a fast way to lose 185 pounds.

But that still wasn't the craziest thing I've done in Vegas.

That award goes to the Air Combat Dogfighting I did on the morning of May 18th.

Check out my blog for a photo of me getting in my Italian Marchetti plane...just before me and my renegade rock'n'roll co-pilot, "Smudge" took off into a clear Vegas morning for our dogfight in the Nevada desert.

Without a doubt, being in control of a fighter plane 9000 feet in the air, in a dogfight against another fighter plane, right above a Nevada State Prison no less, was the craziest thing I've ever done in my life.

Pulling 4.5 G's was more intense than putting 425 on my back for squats. It was awesome. We even did one of those barrel rolls where you roll upside down and then right side up real fast.

Yep, for an hour, I was as cool as the 1986 version of Tom Cruise (not the 2005 version).

And yes, the rumors are true, I won the "Ace" award for Fastest Kill in a dogfight...more on that to come in a future email...in the meantime, feel free to call me "Ace" or "Maverick".

Now that was a great trip, but so was my trip to Baltimore this week.

In fact, it was almost perfect in terms of building muscle and burning fat.

I ate well, hit all my workouts, and even survived lunch at a Ruby Tuesday's restaurant (I had the Asian salmon and steamed broccoli with an unsweetened ice tea).

But I didn't get a chance to workout until 9:20pm when I got home.

Even though today was a day off, I was full of energy and needed to do something, anything, when I got in the door. I wanted to get moving because I had been stuck in a chair all day.

So I grabbed the 53-pound Kettlebell and did 20 minutes of swings and snatches, paired with stretches and plank exercises.

The great thing about Kettlebells, as you'll learn next week when you get Troy Anderson's Kettlebell for Fat Loss program, is that the exercises are all Total Body - so you don't need long workouts.

You work all your muscles, from head to toe, and get your heart pounding hard after each set.

Now don't get me wrong, I love traditional barbell lifting more than anything else, but aside from having a cold beer, there ain't nothing better to do outside in the summertime than have a quick, fat-burning kettlebell workout.

(Possibly to earn your cold beer, of course.)

More to come next week, as we continue our "Hard to the Core" fat loss month at Turbulence Training.

After my workout, I had 2 apples, 2-3 ounces of almonds, and some raw cocoa.

I'm used to eating about 2-4 apples a day, so going all day without one of my precious red delicious snacks was tough.

Now that's the right type of craving to have, rather than wanting to scarf down cookies or chips.

As a TT reader, you have a better mindset about food than the average overweight Joe and Jane that have no control whenever they are in the same area code as a bag of M&M's.

And as a TT Member, you have the powerful social support to stay strong and stick to your fat burning meal plan and TT workout program.

Helping you stay strong and healthy,
