I have always been a physically active guy. I played basketball, I run, I go to the gym.  But the problem was I didn't really liked what I saw in the mirror. I wanted to look lean and athletic and the workouts I did in the gym only seemed to make my muscles look bigger and made me look like a "big" short guy. I came across the maxworkouts program while reading a newspaper online and I was intrigued by what I read, most of the things that I was doing was actually the opposite of what Max workouts was trying to teach! So I decided to give it a try. The results have far exceeded my expectations and the benefits are as follows:

1. I spend half the time in the gym than other people - I'm from the hotel industry and I work long hours everyday (between 10-12 hours sometimes even longer) so this workout is just what the doctor ordered (no more excuses not to workout, like what Shin said everybody has 30 minutes to spare in a day). I come to the gym, I warm up for 5 mins, do my workout for 20-30 mins and I'm done, leaving behind the people who arrived in the gym before me. Sometimes they have this "he's done?" look in their face when they see me leaving. No more long workouts for me, and the best part of it is I never had to do a single ab/crunch again to develop my abs!

2. The muscle recovery book has done wonders for my muscles - I used to have a problem with both calf muscles. Whenever I jog uphill or jog on a regular basis, I would tear a muscle and be inactive for a few weeks. It could be due to poor stretching or intensity of the workout but now I don't have to stretch anymore before a workout and my cardio workout has been more intense than it was! I simply do the warmups Shin has (which is about 5 mins short and really raises your heartbeat making a good warm up) and run as fast as I can.

3. I feel super fit - a few days into my workout, I can already feel the difference in my stamina. I played in a basketball league weeks into the workout and my stamina and cardio was so good I could play the whole game and still have enough to go to work afterwards.

4. The diet book has really been helpful - it has shown me how to provide proper nourishment for your body so you can lose weight and build lean muscles at the same time.

5. I've lost 10lbs (maybe even more as I've also gained muscle in the process) and 2 inches off my waist but this is really the last thing that I noticed- The biggest difference I felt was with my stamina as I feel more energetic and athletic since the workout. I noticed the difference in weight and in my waistline when the pants I use at work started falling off already. 

6. No more overspending - I don't have to buy those supplements which promises big muscles (like the ones on the cover) nor do I have to spend on fitness coaches (who spend more time watching tv than watching what their clients are doing). Shin is my own personal coach.

Shin is an expert in what he does and I'm thankful I ran across him on the internet. Whenever somebody asks me who my trainer is I proudly say that he's someone I found thru the internet. The principles in maxworkouts has brought me closer to my goal (which is to have a six pack abs) and a few more weeks of working out and I'm gonna get there. A big thanks to Shin and his team for a good job! If he can coach someone like me who's miles away, I wonder what he can do for someone in the area as he is.
