This is dedicated to all human survival modes. Robust health is essential if we want to meet our goals in this life. It is never too late to be wise. It is never too early to revise.
Studies now show that just standing on the earth barefoot has amazing health benefits as we drain off free-radicals and the electric charge we carry with us. This phenomena is also known as "earthing". Think of it this way. The earth is a giant car battery with a liquid metal core. It carries a strongly negative charge. And anything above the ground (such as in the air or insulated from the ground) carries a positive charge. This is why lightning strikes oocur, and why we need to “ground” or protect all of our electrical and electronic equipment, to keep them from sparking or short circuiting. In essence, to ground something is to plug it back in to the earth, which is actually the third prong on our electrical outlets (called a ground). Human beings, and all organisms for that matter, are electrical in nature as well. We get ekgs, mri’s, and all sorts of electrical tests to measure our health, hearts, and bodies; our nervous system works on electrical impulses, and even the heart beats with an electrical charge (which is why you may get a pacemaker if it starts getting out of tune). We are electrical in nature, and like electrical equipment and electronics needs to be properly grounded to function well (if you’ve ever listened to an ungrounded radio you know what I mean, you’ll hear tons of static and background noise until it’s grounded), we need to be grounded for proper health and well-being and for proper functioning of our bodies.
At no point in our history have we been this disconnected or insulated from the earth. We wear insulated rubber-soled shoes rubber does not conduct electricity, but insulates or prevents its conduction or transmission),, drive insulated cars with rubber tires, and live in insulated homes; AND we even practice YOGA on insulated rubber mats. This insulation allows us to build up a charge throughout the day, particularly as we’re swimming a sea of electrical transmisions and wires (in our phones, our appliances, our walls, beneath our feet (look at the electrical cords down by your computer) and all around us. So we’re insulated from the ground, AND surrounded by electricity. What does this mean? Well, as you’ve seen in the winter-time (when you may inadvertently, or DELIBERATELY zap the person standing next to you) we carry a HUGE charge on and in our bodies. And that charge turns out to be quiet harmful to our bodies. It disrupts our nervous system, confuses our minds (like that noise on the ungrounded radio going on through our brains), creates inflammation throughout the body (free radicals are positively charged particles with no way to be drained) and raises our cortisol levels (those pesky fight-or-flight stress hormones that keep us on edge, can put us in a panic, and wreak havoc on entire system, and in particular our blood-pressure, when they’re constantly being produced and have no way to drain). All of these things occur, or build up, because we’re ungrounded and have no way to drain them. However, once we go barefoot outside, such as when we’re barefoot running or barefoot walking, they instantly begin to drain as we plug back in to the earth. However, most of us can't spend 24/7 in direct contact to the Earth. We're sitting at our computers at work for 9 or more hours per day, then we're commuting in our insulated cars, and next thing you know you're busy at home taking care of the family. Fortunately, there are Earthing products that help ground us even when we're indoors. Direct contact to the Earth is always preferred, but if you can't make it happen all the time, these products are the next best thing. You can find out more about Earthing products by clicking here. We’ve all felt that amazing “ahhhhhhhh” sensation of stress and pressure draining away at the end of the day when we slip off our shoes and go barefoot through the grass or on the beach. That sensation isn’t just in our heads, it’s real. When we connect with the earth barefoot, we’re LITERALLY draining that tension away, because we’re draining off that positive electrical build-up we’ve generated in our bodies. Studies show this helps with reducing blood pressure, inflammation, helping regulate our sleep and other body functions, levelize blood-sugar levels, and preliminary studies show even helps with many auto-immune system diseases. These are HUGE health benefits, and all available to us if we simply slip off our shoes and feel the earth beneath our feet.
Why is it healthy to drink water with lemon in the morning?
It is vert healthy to drink water with lemon or lemon water in the early morning. It provides a lots of healthy benefits to the body. Some of the most healthiest reason to have lemon water in the early morning are: •Boosts up the immune system. •Balance the pH of the body. •It detoxes the liver. •Hydrate the lymph system. •Decrease the wrinkles and blemishes. •Helps in curing the tooth pain. •Bring glow to the skin and make it healthy. •Cures throat infections. •Flushes the unwanted waste from the body. •Helps in improving the digestion system. •Purifies the blood.
•Helps in preventing respiratory problems. HOLISTIC TREATMENTS FOR YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Chronically ill? Your lymph might be to blame. Clean up your lymphatic system with these 10 tricks and tools to get you back on track… A COMPLICATED NETWORK of fluid-filled nodes, vessels, glands and organs, the lymphatic system touches almost every part of the body. Although we may not feel or see it, it’s one of the most important (and often forgotten) systems of the human body. Just like the liver, kidneys, and mouth, it’s important to give the lymph the attention it deserves. The lymphatic system’s main function is to cleanse toxins and protect against harmful invaders. It works by carrying our body’s waste away from the tissues and into the bloodstream. It tackles toxins that are introduced to the body from both external means (food, air, personal care products, water) as well as internal ones (damaged proteins and cellular/metabolic waste), making it a key detoxification pathway. Once the toxins enter the bloodstream, they are purified through the largest lymphatic tissue in the body, the spleen. The spleen is our main immune defense, fighting infection, holding a reserve of red and white blood cells and destroying worn-out red blood cells in the body. Through lymph nodes and the lymphatic network, your immune cells can travel around fighting pathogens, such as bacteria and mold, and preventing disease and infection. This is why keeping your lymphatic system functioning properly is directly related to the overall health of the body: a stronger lymphatic system means a more resilient and reactive immune response and defense. The problem is that, unlike blood, lymph does not have a pump. It relies on the relaxation and the contraction of the muscles and joints to move it. Your lymphatic system can easily become stagnant, especially when it becomes overwhelmed with toxic debris. This not only leads impaired immunity and disease, but the development of cellulite, edema (fluid retention), chronic pain and fatty deposits. A sluggish lymphatic flow can also be a root cause of chronic sinusitis; swollen glands, ankles and eyes; eczema; arthritis; upper respiratory, sinus and ear infections; throat problems; colds; tonsillitis; bronchitis and pneumonia. The good news is that keeping the lymph moving doesn’t take much – just a few daily exercises, plenty of water, and the inclusion of raw foods and herbs. When the lymph is working well, we stay healthy; and if we’re ill, it helps us to regain our health again. It is never too early to practice prevention, especially when it keeps our skin youthful and cellulite-free! 10 WAYS TO DETOX YOUR LYMPH REBOUNDING Rebounding is one of the easiest ways to pump the lymph. Rebounding is the practice of jumping on a trampoline (yes, remember when we did this for fun!?) for ten to thirty minutes. This passively moves the lymph while stimulating the circulation of blood throughout the body. Numerous studies have proven its efficacy, and have even shown it to improve muscle tone. TCM Pick: Let’s Bounce! The Benefits of Rebounding.
INVERSION TABLE An inversion table is a padded table that allows one to invert upside down while strapped in by the feet. The inversion process decompresses the joints of the body and stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory system. This brings blood and oxygen to the tissues, which helps to clear the muscles of toxic build-up. By inverting, gravity works with, not against, the body, encouraging the movement of the lymph. It also improves spinal health by rehydrating the discs, reducing pressure on the nerves and relaxing tense muscles. TCM Pick: Body Champ Inversion Table LEMON WATER Lymph is about 95% water, making water essential for its health. Stay hydrated by drinking half your weight in ounces of water a day. Without adequate water, lymphatic fluid cannot flow properly. And one of the most common causes of lymph congestion is dehydration. Water, and only water, can adequately rehydrate the body, but if you want to expedite the process, add lemon to your water. Lemon is an alkaline fruit that helps to mineralize the body and lymph. Try sipping on warm lemon water throughout the day, but don’t forget your straw! This protects the teeth’s enamel from the lemon. TCM Pick: Pressed Juicery’s Lemon H20 and Glass Dharma Drinking Straw ENZYMES Enzymes are produced by the body to break down food substances and to expedite countless metabolic processes. They are also utilized by the body to clear toxic-waste buildup in the lymph and blood, making their supplementation a key way to improve lymphatic health. Using proteolytic enzymes between meals can help to “digest” or breakdown organic debris in the circulatory and lymph systems, increasing lymphatic flow. They also help to ease the burden of allergy-like compounds, freeing the immune fractions traveling in the lymph system for other work. TCM Pick: Wobenzym capsules MASSAGE We all love a good massage, and here’s just one more reason why. Lymphatic massage is a special form of massage that specifically targets the flow of lymph in the body. It uses a specific amount of pressure and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate the lymph, encouraging its movement towards the heart for the drainage of fluid and waste. Lymphatic massage has shown in studies to push up to 78 percent of stagnant lymph back into circulation. This mobilizes toxins for clearance, lessening the burden on the lymphatic system. HERBS Many herbs have proven to be effective in improving lymphatic health, whether in their ability to increase lymphatic flow and drainage or in expediting the clearance of toxic substances. Red clover is a popular herb for the lymph, increasing flow, which helps to detoxify the body and reduce inflammation. Cleavers is another herb to try. Also known as clivers or goosegrass, it has been used for centuries and considered one of the best tonics to stimulate and help drain the lymphatic system. Coming from the Ayurvedic tradition is manjistha. Manjistha is an herb that is primarily utilized for its ability to de-stagnate lymph. It does this by detoxifying the tissue and supporting lymph flow. Finally, bupleurum and rehmannia are herbal tonics known to treat lymphatic conditions in traditional Chinese medicine. These herbs are famous in Asia for maintaining the cleanliness of the lymphatic system and thus for naturally removing toxins from deep within the body on an on-going basis. TCM Pick: Organic Lymph Tincture by Terra Firma Botanicals DRY BRUSHING Dry skin brushing is a favorite TCM practice. It’s a technique commonly utilized in Ayurveda for assisting in lymphatic flow and boosting circulation. You simply take a dry brush with coarse bristle and brush the skin towards the heart. This stimulates the sweat glands, opens pores, and gets rid of dead skin cells. It also encourages the movement of lymph and blood in underlying organs and tissues of the body, which helps clear built-up toxins. As a result, it can be beneficial in improving skin conditions and reducing cellulite. TCM Pick: Kingsley Natural Bristle Body Brush EAT RAW FOODS Incorporating raw foods into the diet is an easy way to keep the lymphatic system healthy on an ongoing basis. Raw foods offer high levels of naturally occurring enzymes that break down toxic buildups and promote the clearance of harmful substances in the body. Eating foods raw, in particular fruits and vegetables, is also a great way to boost the water levels in the body. Finally, raw foods are primarily alkaline, which help neutralize harmful pathogens, lessening the burden on the lymph. TCM Pick: Raw Fall Harvest Soup GO WIRELESS Just like tight-fitting clothes, underwire bras can impede normal lymphatic flow. One of the largest clusters of lymph nodes is located in the armpit and upper chest area, and those nodes act as a source of drainage for the breast, arm, and upper chest. If a bra is too tight, or if the underwire is too restrictive (for most of us this is the case), the lymph is constricted, preventing normal drainage. Some researchers believe that over a period of time this can cause long-term impairment of the lymphatic function, and may contribute to an array of conditions including fibrocystic breast tissue, swollen lymph nodes and breast cancer. TCM Pick: Cotton Wireless Bra by Victoria’s Secret I am a medical anthropologist breast cancer researcher, and co-author of Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras. It is not just underwired bras that are the problem. Any bra that leaves red marks or indentations is too tight and can be interfering with lymphatic circulation. Bra-free is the best, and women should try being bra-free for 30 days to see for themselves how much healthier they feel without the constriction. Bras also cause breasts to droop, as the natural suspensory ligaments within the breasts atrophy and weaken due to the artificial support. Women who eliminate the bra discover that their breasts tone and lift within a few months. For more, see my website KillerCulture dot com.SYDNEY ROSS SINGER. Bra Could Be Killing You Originally Published at Ready Nutrition By Tess Pennington Bras are the bane of women’s existence. There, I said it. These stylish undergarments are designed to constrict and dig into the skin in order to push body parts up to make things look more supple and visually pleasing. Of course, if you’re one of the lucky ones who get to wear the underwire support; no doubt you have felt the stabbing of flesh from when the wire pokes into your armpit. Sure, wearing a bra makes the “old girls” look perkier. And, let’s be honest, we feel a little sexier when strapping ourselves into a top of the line push-up, miracle, bombshell bra that the latest runway supermodel is sporting. But, can I be honest? Do those models look even remotely comfortable with their ta-tas on the verge of bursting out? And, how amazing does it feel when you take these en vogue torture chambers off? Perhaps we aren’t meant to wear such heinous contraptions and the bra industry has sold us a line of bull. The bra industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry dominated by large multinational corporations that have one goal in life: to sell billions of dollars worth of bras. Do they care that they are squeezing and contorting your body in a way that could cause future health problems? Scientists took a look at the bras we wear today and have found that the constricting effect of bras could be causing cancer. Specifically, when you wear a tight fitting bra, it suppresses the lymphatic system below the armpits and blocks an internal network of vessels supposed to flush toxic wastes from the body. Over time, these toxins accumulate in the breast tissues and create an environment in which cells can turn cancerous. Moreover, aluminum compounds, parabens, propylene glycol, triclosan and steareths are examples of potentially dangerous toxins found in many common deodorants that can accumulate if your lymph drainage is impaired. Years ago, a U.S. study performed by scientists Sidney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer surveyed 4,700 women and concluded that the odds of getting breast cancer increased dramatically the longer women wore bras. Specifically, women who reported wearing bras for more than twelve hours each day. The Susan G. Komen association states that scientific evidence says otherwise. In a statement on their website, they claim: Scientific evidence does not support a link between wearing an underwire bra (or any type of bra) and breast cancer risk [460]. There is no biological reason the two would be linked. Any observed relationship is likely due to other factors. A 1991 case-control study found that women who did not wear bras had a lower risk of breast cancer than women who did wear bras [461]. However, the authors stated this link was likely due to factors related to wearing a bra rather than the bra itself. The women in the study who did not wear a bra were more likely to be thin, which the authors concluded might account for their decreased risk of breast cancer [461].
In an article by Dr. Mercola on the subject, he suggests you can avoid some of the improper drainage issues if you wear a bra that is properly fitted. Many, many women simply wear bras that do not fit. The website Linda’s Bra School offers plenty of guidance on proper bra fitting and can help you find a more appropriate bra style.

To start, inversions such as handstands, headstands and shoulder stands, and even placing the legs up the wall, reverse the effect of gravity. Much like the inversion table, this helps to drain the lymph towards the heart, escalating the rate in which it’s cleaned and filtered. Twists are also a great way to stimulate lymphatic flow. Through the practice of twisting the abdomen, the organs and muscles are squeezed, forcing the lymph out of the tissues. Finally, the natural dynamic flow through the yoga poses cause the muscles in the body to contract and relax, which is the primary way lymph moves through the body. This allows for a free flow of lymph, which prevents its stagnation and accumulation of toxins. TCM Pick: A 5 Minute Yoga Detox By Yoga Works 10 Ways to Improve Your Lymphatic System Function
The lymphatic system is one of two major circulatory systems in the body. Its primary job is to move immune cells and dead cellular debris through the body to where it can be removed or reused. A poorly functioning lymphatic system is a risk factor for the development of cancer and other chronic diseases. While most of modern science and the allopathic medical community have spent their time researching the blood vascular system, the lymphatic system is gaining its deserved attention from the holistic community. Today, much of the 21st century research is diving deeper into understanding lymphatic system function and its dynamic role with the health of the human body. What is the Lymphatic System? What little you may have heard about the lymphatic system is that it is comparable to drains. When there is a clog in any of the pipes at home you may experience an odor from the sink basin. This is where a buildup of particles such as hair and food become a breeding ground for bacteria. You regularly maintain your pipes in order to avoid a clog, but you should be paying far greater attention to your lymphatic system in doing the same. A congested lymphatic system can lead to serious illnesses and chronic diseases which stem from a weakened immune system. A clog in your lymphatic “drains” can lead to the accumulation of toxins which the body initially tries to remove. Perhaps your symptoms of body rigidity, headaches, bloating, skin concerns, and cold extremities are actually a result of a sluggish lymphatic system that needs improving. Detoxification Strategies to Improve Lymphatic System Function 1. Actively Reduce Stress The following techniques may improve the flow of lymph fluid through your body by limiting both mental and physical stress on your lymphatic system: Good posture Stretching regularly Deep breathing exercises Yoga and pilates All excellent strategies to relieve anxiety and support immune function, such practices relieve congestion and stimulate the removal of pathogens from your body. 2. Exercise Exercise may possibly be one of the most effective and easiest ways for you to improve your lymphatic system function. Exercising increases the oxygen supply to tissues and cells and stimulates blood circulation. When the body does not regularly move, toxins remain in muscle. A condition known as hypoxia in which there is a lack of oxygen to an area of the body leaves the door open for the invasion and metastasis of cancer. A fun way to exercise is by bouncing on a mini trampoline (called a rebounder) which is often used in sports therapy to help athletes heal from injuries. This low impact exercise is called rebounding. As the body moves against gravity, the lymphatic system is stimulated to pull lymph fluid carrying toxins through the vessels and circulate. lymphatic system 3. Chiropractic Care The obstruction of any anatomical structure on the thoracic cavity or upper chest region can prevent the final dumping of toxins from the lymphatic system for cleansing. The rib cage works as a major lymphatic pump which is critical for lymphatic circulation. Correcting anatomical abnormalities or displacement from everyday activities helps to promote pressure within the thoracic region which also assists to oxygenate cells. 4. Herbs Herbs are a great source which we can utilize to detoxify the lymphatic system and remove toxins. Some of the most popular herbal treatments to help the lymphatic system heal include the following: Essential Oils: Traditional practices have used essential oils to help the body heal for centuries. The PDQ (Physician Data Query) Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine Editorial Board reports that essential oils stimulate healing through neuroimmunomodulation. The use of essential oils strengthens the cancer patient’s immune system by relieving anxiety and stress and improving one’s emotional response. Milk Thistle: Milk thistle is a strong detoxification agent known to cleanse the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys, and to promote a healthy thyroid. Use milk thistle to help fight inflammation in your body to support a healthy immune system. Essiac Tea: This herbal treatment may be recommended to patients newly diagnosed with cancer. Essiac tea detoxifies and works to heal the immune system. Manjistha: Manjistha tea is associated with purifying the liver and blood and can help improve menstrual and skin problems while strengthening the immune system. 4-herbal-treatments-To-Help-Your-Lymphic System 5. Perspire Perspiration is one of the mechanisms by which the human body eliminates toxins. Although exercise can promote perspiration, infrared saunas offer a method to circulate toxins out of organs and muscle for the removal through our pores. Infrared saunas use a non-invasive therapy which is a great alternative for those who cannot participate in vigorous activity to detoxify the body. (Note: The use of saunas is not recommended for those who have had numerous lymph nodes removed as it can increase the risk of lymphedema.) 6. Dry Brushing Dry brushing aids the removal of toxins that have built up on our skin. Dry brushing involves using a coarse brush to gently be moved along the skin in the direction of the heart. This technique boosts lymph flow by stimulating sweat glands and supporting circulation below the skin. 7. Anti-Inflammatory Diet Consuming a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and full of healthy fats is critical to support a healthy immune system, especially as we age. Pathogenic agents cannot thrive in alkaline environments which makes eating fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy cell-supporting fats absolutely necessary.

Maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract helps to ensure not only immune system healing but it also decreases your risk of developing obesity and cardiovascular disease. 8. Hydrate The lymphatic system is primarily composed of water and must be hydrated to function at the highest level. Drinking purified and mineralized water and water with antioxidant extracts such as lemon water is an excellent detoxification strategy to push toxins from the body. Dr. John Douillard recommends a lymphatic rehydrating technique which involves sipping warm water every 15 minutes throughout the day for 2 consecutive weeks. This procedure is believed to stimulate the lymphatic system to flow fluidly and relieve congestion and symptoms of a sluggish immune system. 9. Massage Massage therapy improves immune function and can relieve symptoms of chronic fatigue and pain. Massage techniques such as connective tissue massage promote the flow and drainage of lymph through the body. Patients having been diagnosed with cancer and those receiving a second diagnosis can greatly benefit from massage therapy. 10. Avoid Tight Fitting Garments Avoid tight fitting garments such as underwire bras to prevent any unnecessary restriction on lymphatic vessels. Lymph nodes are highly concentrated around the chest region to drain fluid from breasts, arms, and the chest. Do not constrict the lymphatic flow. Supporting Your Lymphatic System When Healing From Cancer It is critical for individuals with cancer to boost the health of the lymphatic system and detoxify regularly. Removing toxins and supporting lymphatic flow have been shown to decrease the reoccurrence of cancer. One in 5 individuals who have received treatment for breast cancer will be affected by lymphedema later in life. Will you incorporate these detoxification strategies into your daily lifestyle to improve your lymphatic system today? Live your life without the threat of cancer.

Exercise that was once considered the most effective way to look younger, get leaner and more fit…now linked to accelerated aging, inflammation and chronic age-related diseases. (Plus, what you can do instead to slow the aging process down to a crawl — so you can burn off age-related weight..and look and feel YEARS younger!)
by Shin Ohtake, Fitness & Fat Loss Expert, Author of MAX Workouts
According to science, there’s a difference between chronological age and biological age, which means you can be 50 years old and literally have a body of a 40 year old. I’m sure you’ve met someone that not only looks 10 years younger, but has boundless energy and stamina. That being said, I’m sure you’ve seen the exact opposite as well, someone that looks and acts much too OLD for their actual age.
So what’s the deal? Is it genetics? I know it sounds like the most reasonable answer. But genetics have very little to do with how fast or slow you age. Believe it or not, YOU have way more control over the aging process than you think.
Seriously, it’s not science fiction… you CAN slow your aging process, BUT only if you know what to do.
...And I’m not talking about having to take anti-aging pills or hormone supplements. Nope. This is much safer and more effective. It’s something you can do on your own.
There are countless men and women who have cracked the code on aging and have literally slowed down their biological clock to a crawl. And I’ll show you all the effective anti-aging tips and tricks in just a minute, but first let’s look at what happens as you age…
Your metabolism slows down to a snail’s pace as you age. This makes burning fat and losing weight next to impossible.
The hormones responsible for all of your youth-like qualities such as healthy skin tone, strong lean muscle, robust energy and insatiable sex drive, start declining more and more each year that goes by. And if you’re not proactive, your youth enhancing hormone levels may drop so low that there is no turning back.
Aging makes your bones weaker and more brittle by robbing your body of vital minerals that are essential for strong bones. This is why so many elderly people suffer from hip fractures that can lead to even more serious medical complications.
It’s not just your physical qualities that get negatively affected by aging…your brain suffers as well. Your memory, your ability to solve problems, and your decision making skills all start to decline and worsen each year.
And here’s the real kicker: After 40, your biological age starts to speed up and age faster than your chronological age! In fact, for every year that passes you can age up to 6 months extra. That means when you turn 42, your body is essentially turning 43…if you keep this up, at 48 your body could be as old as 52!!
These are the harsh facts, but it’s the truth. However, it doesn’t need to be this way. YOU have the power to slow aging and prolong your youth. When you apply my anti-aging strategies, you’ll be able to REVERSE the aging process by greatly slowing down your biological aging well below your chronological aging.
Here’s what you can expect when you use some of my anti-aging strategies:
You’ll re-ignite your metabolism, reprogramming your body so you can readily start burning fat right away.
You’ll reboot your endocrine system, creating a resurgence of youth enhancing hormones so can get infinitely more energy—and replace flab with lean, strong muscle while boosting your sex drive
You’ll fortify your body by regaining bone density and building a solid foundation.
Boost your brain power, enhancing memory and improving your cognitive function making you as sharp as a tack
You’ll dramatically decelerate your body’s aging process. So, your biological age will age slower than your chronological age—making you look and feel younger each year that passes.
Now I need to warn you… what you’re going to read next is probably going to go against everything you’ve ever heard before. BUT that’s because very few people actually know how to slow their aging process.
Think about the so-called “experts” giving you anti-aging tips… what do they look like? If they don’t look 10 - 15 years younger than their actual age, do you really think they have the right knowledge?
Look, I’m not one to judge by looks alone, but as far as anti-aging is concerned I’m taking advice from people that look the part and live the part…
Now, here are the 3 WORST mistakes you must AVOID if you want to slow the aging process and increase your metabolism to burn fat, boost your youth enhancing hormones to get more energy & stamina, and build a lean, strong, healthy body:
1. Cardio
Too many people think that cardio is the answer to everything related to weight-loss and fat-loss. And although cardio can be helpful (if done properly), it does nothing to slow the aging process. In fact, it does the exact opposite!. Doing long frequent cardio sessions will break down your muscles and increase the production of free radicals. These free radicals are nasty little things that damage the cells in your body and accelerate aging.
Don’t worry if you’re concerned about your heart health. There is a much more effective way to improve your cardiovascular health, which I’ll cover in just a minute. And here’s the best part: it takes only 1/3 the time of a conventional cardio workout AND it also triggers your youth enhancing hormones instead of those nasty free radicals that age you faster!
2. A Low-Fat Diet
It’s hard to believe that “low-fat” is still a dietary recommendation because science has proven that fat is not the cause of weight gain or heart disease. In fact, since the introduction of the fat-free diet, the world has gotten more fat and sick than it has ever been before.
Fat is not the enemy. Fat does NOT make you fat. In fact, fat is an absolute must if you want your body to look and feel younger! Why? Because healthy fats are an essential source of good cholesterol, which is KEY to producing the hormones that enhance your youthful qualities. (Not all cholesterol is bad, by the way — good cholesterol is a crucial component of healthy skin tissue, making your skin more supple, glowing, and youthful). If you’re following a low-fat diet, you’re depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to slow aging and keep your youth.
3. Yoga
Yoga has been around for thousands of years and it’s still around after all this time because it’s very effective for things like improving your inner consciousness, mind-body connection and spiritual health. However, it should NOT be considered an effective form of exercise. Sure, some movements are difficult and physically challenging. BUT strictly physiologically speaking, yoga lacks the necessary components to stimulate your body to build lean muscle, burn fat and most importantly… trigger your youth-enhancing hormones to help slow aging. Yoga can improve your flexibility and calm your mind, but it will NOT stimulate your “youth” hormones.
What To Do Next
If you want to reverse the aging process, you need to know HOW to trigger your youth-enhancing hormones to slough away old, dead cells while elevating your metabolic process so you can burn away stubborn, flabby fat and replace it with lean, toned muscle.
The answer is metabolic training. Don’t worry, it’s not as technical as it sounds. Let me explain…
Metabolic training involves doing certain types of exercises that involve your entire body, so you can activate as many muscles as you can in a short amount of time. It’s completely different from doing traditional isolated body building exercises (like biceps curls or leg curls) where you’re only using one muscle at a time. This form of exercise takes way too long and doesn’t stimulate enough muscle fibers to increase your fat-burning and youth-enhancing hormones.
Here’s the key: the more muscles you’re able to activate at the same time, the more you’ll be able to trigger your youth-enhancing hormones. This is why using exercises that involve your entire body (upper body and lower body) at the same time is crucial.
That’s not all…there’s a particular way you want perform these exercises, because doing so will trigger your most effective fat burning hormones, so you can burn off your old excess fat that’s been hanging around way too long.
And here’s the best part… you can replace your flabby body parts with lean, toned muscle by simply following these exercise protocols, because not only do they trigger your youth-enhancing hormones and fat-burning hormones—they also boosts your testosterone. Testosterone is your ultimate lean-muscle building—hormone for BOTH men and women. And much like other hormones, your testosterone levels naturally start to decline after the age of 40, which is why it’s so difficult to gain lean muscle and maintain that youthful body tone as you get older.
Turning back the clock is easy when you know HOW to trigger the right hormones in your body. And I’ll show you the specifics behind this easy, insanely effective method on the next page. Soon you’ll be able to trigger your youth enhancing hormones, along with your fat-burning and lean-muscle building hormones so you can defy the aging process and look and feel 10 years younger!

Over 304,364 People In 104 Countries Are Getting Results With MAX WORKOUTS
Mike, age 61 Salt Lake City, Utah
I lost 20 pounds & did an Olympic distance triathlon…and I ended up 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.

John, age 41 Blakehurst, Australia
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.

John, age 46 Slovakia
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!

Jason, age 27 Minot, North Dakota
I am in better shape now than I was mid-season as a hockey player...
I have been doing the MAX Workouts 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 scheduleand 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

Aidan, age 36 Newcastle Upon Tyne; England
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 multigym 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.

David, age 50 Baltimore, Maryland
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” 175 lbs. 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.

Carlo, age 41 Rome, Italy
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!).

Ed, age 49 Manhattan Beach, California
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.

Ali, age 31 Abu Dhabi, UAE
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.

Women With MAX WORKOUTS
Hanneline, age 35 South Africa
This is a program for life because it’s realistic and hard work but it is easy maintainable.
After having 2 children I have been riding the roller coaster of gaining weight and losing weight and then gaining weight again. I have never been able to maintain my goal weight for a very long period. I will gain weight gradually and before I know it I will be back where I started.
Completing the MAX workouts 90 day program made me realize I can still achieve my goals. I have lost 9kg and 31cm. I almost couldn’t wear the same pants for the ‘after photo’ because it felt so loose. I am 4kg away from my goal weight. I will continue with MAX workouts. This is a program for life because it’s realistic and hard work but it is easy maintainable because it’s only 30min per day…
This program is not just about losing weight. It’s a life changing experience. It’s more than full-body high-intensity workouts that’s successful and full of promising results. It’s about seeing exercise, food and health in a different light. It becomes a way of life. I feel more energetic, healthier and physically very strong. I feel able to enjoy any kind of sport (coaching hockey at school for 10 year olds and they battle to keep up with me) and I feel very flexible.
Thank you Shin for not just selling a great program, but for being someone that really shows an interest in people’s health, fitness and over all well-being

Elizeth, age 35 Covina, CA
I feel that this program has gotten me stronger than I have ever been! I'm so ecstatic to lift weights now and could care less about long hours of cardio!
I’ve been working out forever (or at least it feels that way). Just in the past 4 years I had my third & last boy. I’ve been working out religiously 5-6 times a week (tons of cardio). I’ve even ran 3 half marathons and 3 mudruns. I quickly realized I was so burned out from doing long hours of cardio, not losing weight, not getting stronger or toning, feeling aches and pains and of course running out of time in my day.
When I found your program I loved that it was short and that I could actually work out from home if I wanted to. Trying MAX Workouts was hard for me at first being that I was such a hamster on the wheel about cardio. I said I’ll give this a try, because what I had been doing for years wasn’t working…time to try something new.
My favorite thing about MAX Workouts is the use of free weights and body weight. I also love how I get a full body HIGH INTENSITY workout in a short time…30 minutes at the most. Since starting program and cleaning up my diet, I’ve lost a total 22 lbs and 16 inches off my body.

Tsitsi, age 40 Silver Spring, MD
When I started the program I couldn't do a single push-up. Not on my knees, not in my dreams...now I do 30 on my toes...as part of my warm up
When I started the 90 day program I couldn’t do a single push-up. Not on my knees, not in my dreams. I had never lifted anything beyond a pink dumbbell of 5 lb, I’d never attempted a pull up and my version of squats were more like taking a slight dip at the knees. Yet I kept with the exercises, no matter how they scared me at first, I tried, and tried. By the end of the 1st 3 weeks, I was doing knee push-ups! Things started changing as I got stronger and I found less need to substitute exercises. Next I found myself wanting to push myself even further - incredible. And at the end of 90 days I had lost 35lbs.
But part of me had the feeling that I had “unfinished” business, because I had substituted a lot of the exercises in the first time around. So I wanted to do it all again, no substitutes. So I did…and by the end of round 2, I was looking at a total loss of 55 lbs.
After the 2nd time around, I joined the MAX Workout Club…and now 1 year later, I’m at the 72 lbs mark of weight loss since I entered Shin and Susan’s world! Basically I have lost 1/3 of the person I was! A year in transformation! I turn 40 in 2 weeks and the gift of my body, health, life, and emotional healing is probably the best gift I could give myself (ok and a trip to the Bahamas)

Enisa, age 64 Portugal
At 64 years old I feel full of energy and vitality, I can work mentally or physically for much longer periods without getting tired. I can jump now!
Like most people I was yo-yo dieter and exerciser for most of my life. In the last three years I even stopped going to the gym, stopped doing yoga which all of it I did when I was younger. As I progressively got fatter I simply didn’t have energy to exercise, and got myself in a vicious circle.
When I hit 62 I noticed that flab was taking over…I realized that even eating healthily will not stop the flab as we get older and decided to look into weight training. So I decided to try your program which appealed to me on many levels.
First of all it is a short workout, so it was easier to stick to it and feel some sort of accomplishment which is always encouraging to persevere and really easy to make it part of our daily life once we ourselves apply discipline. That’s why I kept coming back to your program. It is obviously developed with great care and knowledge.
In these last three months it took me all that effort to get rid of almost 10 kilos of fat and flab, wake up the muscles or shall we say bring my muscles back from the brink of death. That’s exactly how I feel. Now, I move differently, with new found grace and a long forgotten lightness. I’ve learned that once our muscles get stronger we are able once more to walk tall without putting an effort, with agility of the young ones.
Now my friends can’t believe that I’ve changed and streamlined so much in just three months.

Ria, age 26 Greece
I actually look forward to the workouts because they are so time efficient and I feel so energetic during and after I complete them.
I have always been into sports (mostly basketball) and gym and although I was putting the effort, I never saw the results I was hoping for. Plus, I spent a huge amount of time. So when I read about MAX Workouts, I was skeptical at first, but then I thought I should give it (and me) a chance. It’s been the best period of my life. I actually look forward to do the workouts because they are so time efficient and I feel so energetic during and after I complete them.
But I’m not stopping here. I’ve set a new goal for my body and I’m ready to achieve it. With MAX Workouts, I’ve gained confidence, lost fat and gained muscle. I believe the most important thing that happened is that muscles took the place of fat.

Astrid, age 44 Johannesburg, South Africa
What I enjoy is that it's increased my strength and my stamina and I love how my energy levels have increased
I am a full time professional belly dancer and instructor. Before my husband and I had a motorbike accident I was pretty much in shape and happy with my weight. Unfortunately this event did a little bit of damage to my left hip and limited my ability to do a lot of movements and dance training. For approximately one year I had to reduce the amount of teaching, show performances and exercising. This unfortunately sent me on a spiral of depression and the weight gain began.
Then one day in January 2013 one of my students sent me a link to MAX Workouts and suggested I read the article about Shin Ohtake. I was convinced and within the first week I saw results and I could feel strength in my hip. I started sleeping so much better (as I had little to no pain) by the second week and I returned to teaching my classes and my students were in awe and amazed at how quick I had lost weight (4 kg). I was on that dance floor in full force, my regular clients were dumbfounded by my sudden transformation. I could feel my “old self” returning. Now I can do two to three shows in an evening and I don’t have to visit my physiotherapist on the Monday for recovery.

Arleen, age 44 Roaming Shores, OH
My clothes are falling off me, my health has improved, I have more energy, lower body fat %, increase muscle and strength, and I feel fantastic!
This year is another busy one for me with my oldest son graduating from high school and going off to Marine Corps Boot Camp and my daughter getting married in June. Lots of wonderful blessings & craziness, and I want to look my best. Thankfully, I joined MAX Workouts and it couldn’t have come at a better time! I got prepared for it, took my before pictures and measurements and started eating healthy once again.
It was a phenomenal experience! I lost 10 lbs and 11 ½ inches off my entire body! I was wearing a size 8/10 and I’m now down to a size 4/5. My clothes are falling off me, my health has improved, I have more energy, lower body fat %, increase muscle and strength, and I feel fantastic!
This program is effective, since the exercises are short high intensity workouts that allow me to burn calories well after my workouts. It’s perfect for me, since I don’t have a lot of time. Thank you for putting me back on track. I’m enjoying trying on clothes for the wedding!

Camille, age 24 Gilbertsville, PA
When all said and done this program didn't just change my body, it changed my life, and how I feel about myself.
A few months after giving birth to my second child, every time I looked in the mirror while getting dressed, I would cringe. I was disgusted with the way I looked, and felt as if I would never be able to be satisfied with my body. We’re a young family, with two children. We recently purchased our first home, and in order for us to do so we had to cut back on a lot of our spending. We didn’t have the money for a gym membership, let alone the time for me to go.
Then a wonderful thing happened. I came across MAX Workouts, while searching the internet for ways to lose weight. The description of this program immediately caught my attention, hard-work, dedication, intense workouts, and all within 20-30 minutes a day. There’s no doubt I was skeptical of this program. I had invested a lot of money over the years to weight loss programs, DVDs, and miracle pills. There was always initial weight loss, but nothing ever seemed to last or get me to where I was totally happy with my body.
After 12 weeks of dedicating myself and having faith in the process of MAX Workouts, I can now say that any doubt I had is gone. This program works, and my transformation is complete proof of that. Even before I had my children, I have never been able to wear a bikini and feel 100% confident with how I looked in it. After going through this transformation, watching my body not only lose weight, but getting tight and toned, I can’t wait until I get the chance to rock my bikini at the beach!

Kerstin, age 40 United Kingdom
I lost 3 kg in the first 2 weeks. This was unheard of! Over the past 20 years I hadn’t managed to lose ANY weight even though I was exercising more than anybody I knew!
I turned 40 this year. I have never been really fat, but for most of my life I have been trying to lose weight. I knew all about eating healthy and have tried various food regiments, including eating macrobiotic, vegetarian, vegan and raw.
In the past few years I also started exercising more, doing a lot of aerobics, exercise machine training and lately running. At one point I was running one hour every day, which brought on problems with my back, but never made me lose one gram of fat! I was working so hard, but to no avail. I was frustrated.
When I came across MAX Workouts, I decided to give it a try. One last try. When I started, I lost 3 kg in the first 2 weeks. This was unheard of! Over the past 20 years I hadn’t managed to lose ANY weight even though I was exercising more than anybody I knew!
In total, I lost more than 20 pounds (9kg) and 15 inches (38cm) in just 12 weeks!

Joana, age 29 Portugal
I'm in better shape now than before my pregnancy!
I started the program when I realized I was really overweight because my clothes started not to fit, my belly was too big, I wasn’t identifying myself in the pictures and the people started to ask me if I was pregnant again. Before I started I had worked for one year in a very stressful job, many hours per day, with shifts by night, so I got used to eating a lot of bread, crisps or pasta when I arrived home. I also had a daughter in 2009, and all the people was blaming that, saying that it was my pregnancy fault, but I knew it wasn’t true.
When I started, I could barely lift 4.5kg dumbbells but at the end I was lifting 9kg dumbbells. And I went from a size 40 or 38 for trousers and medium for tops and I finished with a size 34 and an extra small tops. In total, I lost 14 pounds (6.3 kg) and 11 inches (28 cm) off my waist, hips and thighs. And I’m in better shape now than before my pregnancy!

I now have lots of energy and look forward to working out everyday!
I am constantly battling the weight roller coaster! I am a single mom of two and I not only want to keep fit, but I want to condition my children this way so they will never have to battle the weight game in life.
I’ve worked out forever, it feels like, but have yet to see the difference in my body. I feel like I workout for nothing. Legs are still flabby, no shape or definition to them what so ever. I really want to wear a two piece bikini and wear it well. I want to tone and define my body before I’m 40 and keep it like that way too.
One thing MAX Workouts taught me was to change my workouts I started adding intervals to my 3 mile runs. With my workout changes I noticed my transformation coming. I was good with eating but the messages from MAX Workouts helped me stay focus when it came to my eating habits. I now have lots of energy and look forward to working out everyday!

What I love about this workout is that I can do it in 30 min and still got the rest of the day off!
After I had my second child (4 months ago) I gained 14 Kg and I was feeling really bad about it. I decided to do something different and drastic to recover my shape. I never was really active but after my first child (which was 3 years ago) I changed my way of eating and started to do exercise every day. So before I got pregnant again I was in good shape and happy about my look,
After this second pregnancy I realized that I had to do it all over again! When I ran into MAX Workouts site I knew that that was what I had to do to get back in shape. After a while the results start happening and I was really glad! I lost 6 Kg in 12 weeks.
What I love about this workout is that I can do my daily workout only in 30 min and still got the rest of the day off! Otherwise I knew that after working, taking care of the children, cooking and cleaning the house…..there will be no time for me!
