Over 504,939 People In 104 Countries Are Getting Results With MAX WORKOUTS
"I lost 20 pounds & did an Olympic distance triathlon, taking first in my age group"
I started MAX Workouts at 207 pounds in April and am now at 187 pounds. One of my sons decided to do a 1/2 marathon and asked if I wanted to do it with him…I surprised myself and took first in my age group. I had noticed that my times were starting to look like the times of my runs 10 years ago and my body was not feeling as “old” the next day after a long run.
I did an Olympic distance triathlon with my other son and with no prior swimming or biking prep, just MAX Workouts and my running and I ended up taking first in my age group again. I recently did another 1/2 marathon and took second. I am doing another 1/2 in November and expect my time to be even better…Thanks for what you have done for me and for providing a program that I intend to continue long into the future.
"Pants that I haven’t worn since before I was married fit me now"
I think I maintained a reasonably good fitness level until about 9 years ago. “What happened 9 years ago?”, I hear you ask… Well…I got married. Yep, and physically (and I stress “physically” and almost nothing else) things started going south for me from then on. My training became less frequent and my diet went out the window. Weight crept up on me and before I knew it I was obese (according to my BMI).
Over the past 9 years, I’ve tried to get back to where I was. I mostly tried to do it on my own without reference to anything except my own past experience. Although I was using the same workouts that I had learnt, I was training harder than before I got married. But that didn’t work. There was something fundamentally wrong with what I was doing and I couldn’t work it out. I was struggling.
My feet and joints hurt. I remembered before when I was in shape, my feet didn’t hurt. I missed that. I missed that feeling so much. The feeling of being light on your feet and being able to do things…
Towards the end of last year I found MAX Workouts. At first I was skeptical because of what I went through. I decided to subscribe to get the information and then decide whether or not to continue after I had seen it…
How do I feel now? I feel that my journey has not ended here. I don’t want to stop but want to see how far I can go…I feel that I can still improve from the level I’m at. Yes i definitely feel lighter. My feet and joints have stopped hurting me. I have dropped a few sizes in clothes. Pants that I haven’t worn since before I was married fit me now. I can definitely do a lot more things than what I could 12 or so weeks ago.
Thank you Shin. Sincerely with all my heart, you have helped me find my life again.
"I lost 3% body fat while gaining 5 pounds and 3.6 inches of lean muscle mass"
I am 46 years old and have always been reasonably fit. I really enjoy running. I have tried all sorts of weight training in the past and have spent a fair amount of money on things and supplements that did not work.
You need to know that I am a “skinny” guy and I believe what is known in the fitness world as a “hard gainer”. Putting on the right kind of weight has always been my goal. Every single other programmme I have tried, I have ended up with just about the same measurements except I always gain a fat and bulging stomach – which is really annoying.
However Shin’s programme has helped me achieve results I could never have imagined. I have nearly doubled my dumbbell weights since starting and can squat an extra 45 lbs on day 90 compared to day 1.
I am now feeling the fittest I have for many years and I am finally and consistently be adding muscle to my now not-so-skinny frame. Just one further positive example is that I went skiing (I live in beautiful Slovakia) when I was only 6 weeks in to the programme. I am only a beginner, but this time I found I had so much more strength and aerobic fitness. My body felt strong and able to cope so much better with the inevitable falls. The next day I had no soreness or aches, where before I would have been hobbling around in agony.
I am really looking forward to continuing with Max Workouts and hope that other hard gainers who are sceptical about being able to gain muscle weight will feel positive and use the programme like me. I also need to go out and buy some more weights as I’m finding it too easy to lift what I started off with!
"I am in better shape now than I was mid-season as a hockey player"
I have been doing your program for about ten weeks now and I absolutely love it. I have been working out since I was twelve-years old and have tried many different workout programs but this is exactly what I have been searching for. I just recently stopped playing professional hockey and took a job in the oil-field industry and I wish I had this program in my playing days. I was familiar with the Tabata protocol before starting the MAX Workouts program but I was searching for a more structured routine that I could follow, which is exactly what I found. The quick and ultra-effective workouts work great with my busy schedule and I am in better shape now than I was mid-season as a hockey player.
"MAX Workouts keeps my muscles guessing so I haven't plateaued"
The MAX Workouts program has been a game changer for me in terms of my overall health and fitness. I’ve always been into weight training with a bit of cardio here and there, and after reaching a plateau I realized i needed a change - something that would keep me engaged and also tackle the aspect of my diet which I did not know much about. After starting the MAX Workouts program, I realized the following benefits:
Much better understanding of nutrition which leads to healthier eating - avoiding bad carbs, etc… Ultimately leading to better muscle definition
More intense, and shorter workouts - my overall workout time per week is cut by 1/2 so I have more time to enjoy life
6 pack I always knew was there is finally coming through
Through Variety, my interest is always maintained, and I actually look forward to workouts
MAX Workouts keeps my muscles guessing so I haven’t plateaued
Culinary skills have improved through new recipes from the Lean Body program
Better fitness level all around - faster speed, and more power
"A radically different approach from anything I had come across before"
Prior to starting the MAX workouts programme, I didn’t realise how much my overall fitness had steadily and declined over the past 5 to 10 years. I’ve always actively tried to maintain what I would call a ‘baseline’ level of fitness by doing conventional gym work i.e. isolated weights exercises on multi-gym type machines combined with conventional cardio.
Over the past few years I have been working out at home before going to work; first using a treadmill and then (after it broke!) I bought an elliptical trainer. I managed to consistently perform about four to five 40min sessions per week on these machines over these two years. However, although I saw some definite improvements, I seemed to have reached a personally unnaceptable plateau, which I couldn’t improve on without devoting too much time to fitness in an already hectic lifestyle (3 very young children, full time job and studying part time for an MSc.)
I intuitively knew that the intensity of my fitness regime needed to increase to turn things round and start to deliver results. Unfortunately, how to achieve the necessary levels of intensity in a structured and progressive programme was a complete mystery to me. I naturally presumed this would require a personal trainer, lots of time and money (i.e. things I don’t have!).
A few months ago in one of my random internet searches for sound fitness advice, I came across the MAX Workouts programme. After reading the introductory material, it was readily apparent that this was exactly what I needed. It was also clearly obvious that this was not only radically different approach from anything I had come across before, it was also written by a very genuine and professional person who had put a lot of time and effort into integrating and clearly communicating a large body of scientific knowledge and practical experience. That person is Shin Ohtake, a person who for me and probably thousands of people round the world is my personal trainer FOR LIFE; I hope to meet and thank him one day!
Since joining MAX Workouts the results have been nothing short of outstanding. Even routine things such as the energy sapping activity of constantly tidying up after the kids has become noticeably effortless! I would summarise the MAX workouts by simply saying that for me it has been a paradigm shift in my approach to fitness (i.e. something so revolutionary that it completely changed my previous understanding of the subject). I challenge you to try it out, you won’t be dissapointed.
"I lost 2 inches from my waist, all fat"
I started the MAX Workouts 90 program back in July. I followed it to the T and have never been happier with the results. In the past I just made things up as I went with little or no results. I worked out 6 days a week for up to 1 hour a day and just got more frustrated because I had nothing to show for it.
I needed more structure in my workouts, a workout I could see and I could perform and knew what I had to do and just do it. Well, after about 30 days I could already see more definition in my muscles and I was losing fat. I was never in it to lose weight, 6’ 1” 175lbs. I wanted to tighten and tone.
I lost 2 inches from my waist, all fat. I continue on the daily program and couldn’t be happier. Your program makes working out fun and fast. Do the work hard and quick and get out. Thanks Shin!
Let me add also that I am an avid golfer with a 5 handicap and since doing your program I have added 20 yards to my drives just from the power increase from my lower body which I always neglected from my previous workouts.
"More lean muscle, less belly fat and total wellness -- and a load energy in everyday activity"
I’m a busy cardiologist always telling patients how important diet and physical activity are but actually I never truly believed it was possible to reach such a result within a few months (or ever). I just can say THANK YOU FOR SHARING KNOWLEDGE Shin and I’d ask a question..where the heck have you been all these years! I used to work out 3 times a week, but without a coach I mostly ended up doing one hour of low training cardio…which meant knee and low back pain and no workout. I really was at a loose end. I ran into this program in the internet and I immediately got intrigued by the solid scientific explanation of each statement. I’m a doctor, I can recognize solid scientific evidence.
Well, I tried and it’s been 3 months now, at the very end of my 90 day program. What can I say…I just do not recognize myself in the mirror! I mean, come on, in three months! How is it ever happened! All my clothes fit so much better because my body totally changed. I mean, it’s not coming back to a forgotten good young shape, it’s totally newborn. I’ve never been like that before, nor in high school.
More lean muscle, less belly fat and total wellness and a load energy in everyday activity. And, my wife is starting to stare at me in a way she hasn’t been doing for quite a while now (stares for kids, you know). This program really makes you get better and better, not only because of the style of training and the fun of exercising, but also because of the motivation and the commitment we have all been issued with. My body is changing, it’s better now, but way too iportant, my life is changing. Goodbye Pizza Margherita and Spaghetti, but, hey guys, look who’s telling what! I’m actually modifying my two young kids diet, we are all going to be a faithful low carb-family. Ah, at last but not least, I had my blood checked last week (Lipid profile included) and guess what? Exams were perfect (for a teenager!).
"6 or 7 weeks in I lost 18 pounds and dropped 2 or 3 sizes in my waist"
I woke up on January 3rd and tipped the scales for the first time at over 200 pounds, to be exact I was 203 pounds. Almost immediately I decided I was going to commit to getting back to the weight and shape I was in not too long ago. I wanted to lose 15 - 20 pounds and more importantly drop the waist size as that is where all of my weight gain seemed to gravitate to.
I was very surprised how you said you could workout for 20 minutes and reach your goal. Just sounded like a hoax. I don’t like to take the easy way out and really didn’t think that was possible. As it turns out, the workouts are phenomenal! My heart rate goes through the roof every time and I do feel amazing after I am done. The combination of strength and cardio is better than any workout I have ever done in the past.
The weight started falling off and it was so exciting I didn’t want to see it stop. 6 or 7 weeks in I lost 18 pounds and dropped 2 or 3 sizes in my waist. It was a combo of diet, your workout program, and personal mindset to achieve great results. You showed up in my life at the exact right time, I turn 50 in a few weeks and very excited at all about that number but I can say that I am probably in the best shape of my life as I turn this milestone year, thanks.
"I hardly followed 50% of Shin's diet plan and started losing weight within a week!"
I cannot begin to explain the difference Shin Ohtake’s MAX Workouts program has made in my life. I’ve been into sports since my childhood and played Cricket, tennis, squash and football regularly until I left college when I was 24.
But things started to slow down once I got into professional life….I couldn’t afford to spend as much time in sports as i once used to….and slowly and gradually i gained weight and lost the shape….even with a very little amount of sports, I started getting injured…Groin, Shoulder, side strain and what not!....I tried different programs - tried running, hit the gym, used diet plans…but it seemed like getting into shape and getting fit was just a dream that could not come true….Frustrated with all that, I searched the net whenever I had time….to find that ‘Aladin’s Lamp’ that could help me in any way….
And Shin’s MAX Workouts is nothing short of Aladin’s lamp, BELIEVE ME!....How it affected me? Firstly, Shin helped me understand how our bodies work…..and how carbs, proteins, fats and fibres are to be utilized…..this is the knowledge I never had…..I hardly followed 50% of his diet plan and started losing weight within a week!!!!
Secondly, his workouts plan made me understand that it is not the duration but the intensity that makes us become fitter, stronger and leaner…..it took 2-3 weeks for people to start noticing me…..and rest is history. Shin’s program has become an integral part of my routine.
