The #1 Worst Exercise That Ages You Faster

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…

1. Your metabolism slows down to a snail’s pace as you age.  This makes burning fat and losing weight next to impossible.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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:

1. You’ll re-ignite your metabolism, reprogramming your body so you can readily start burning fat right away.
2. 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
3. You’ll fortify your body by regaining bone density and building a solid foundation.
4. Boost your brain power, enhancing memory and improving your cognitive function making you as sharp as a tack
5. 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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
