Max Workout - by Shin Ohtake

floppybackend

I've read his stuff on the net and its very interesting. http://www.maxworkouts.com/?gclid=CJ2N6cmImbcCFabLtAodBxQAJQ . I feel as though I would benefit as my weight loss has been too slow and even though I need to lose 1.5 stone I carry an enormous amount of body fat particularly around the stomach. What he says sounds good - HITT and 30mins 3 - 4 times a week. Basic weights nothing fancy. Heavy weights. Less cardio.

But I dont want to sign up or spend any money which can be found elsewhere. Are there any other books or info on the net so I can follow it - I'm not interested in eating plans, smoothies etc I just want some plan for reps, weights, form. How do I stop my body plateauing at 3 weeks then?

Any help with this appreciated as my weight loss has stopped. I'm doing the Shred (only 3 times a week) watching what I eat, careful on the carbs, no alcohol.

If I join the gym at the local leisure centre can they devise a plan based on this not on endless hours of machines?

I am currently doing Shin Otake's Max Workouts and it is working very well for me. You can find that type of HIIT workouts online, maybe just not as detailed or with a schedule, ie Body Rocks videos on You Tube. I am really enjoying the Max workouts program, it's almost fool proof and meets you at your level.

I did Max Workouts after my pregnancy in June of 2011, and was back to prepregnancy weight by August/Sept! I didn't even do the running or interval training just the 3 days of weights which proved to already have a conditioning component within it already. I since have moved on to other things (fat loss is no longer my goal) but it was a REALLY good kickstart. PLUS Super simple. Compount movements. Each workout has a major pull move, pull move and a type of squat, lunge or deadlift(different variations offered)The eating advice was a little extreme I thought. (really low carb, paleoish).
