Nothing burns fat and improves conditioning as fast as this. You may even put on some muscle due to the cascade of anabolic hormones, such as growth hormone, from this beast.
Credit for Tornado training must go to Martin Rooney of the Parisi Speed School in New Jersey for inspiring me to try this and modifying his Hurricane training for his professional UFC fighters [Mixed Martial Arts, commonly know as MMA] for their fight conditioning training. This is what led to the Tornado Training!
This was brutal, especially on my current very low intake of carbohydrates. The beauty of it is that it can be tweaked to challenge almost anyone, by changing the speed and incline on the treadmill, the reps and resistance used, rest periods and the total duration.
Anyway this is what I did today:
Alternating between the following 2 Tornado sets for 30 minutes, with three 1 minute recovery periods when I thought I may throw up or collapse, taken roughly at 8 minutes in, 15 minutes in, and 22 minutes in.
30 seconds on treadmill 13kph @10 incline
50 metre Farmers’ walks (24kg dumbbell each hand)
Press ups (15)
30 seconds on treadmill 13kph @10 incline
30 seconds on treadmill 13kph @10 incline
Bent over/upright rows (12 reps with 40kg)
Kettlebell swings 12 reps with 24kg – thanks Ben Lauder-Dykes)
30 seconds on treadmill 13kph @10 incline
Give it a try, this will test you both physically and mentally! Can you handle it?
