Is MAX Workouts for men or women?

Unfortunately, it’s a very common myth that men and women should do gender-specific workouts.  It’s simply not true.  MAX Workouts is based on full-body, functional, high-intensity training that benefits men and women differently.

Why is that?

Because a man’s body chemistry is different from a woman’s.  It’s really as simple as that.  While both men and women will burn massive calories and boost their energy, men will build more muscle and get lean & ripped while women will reduce cellulite and get slim & toned.

Many women are afraid that if they lift weights they’re going to bulk up.  I can tell you from years of training all my clients with MAX Workouts - nothing could be further from the truth.  When women start lifting a little heavier and performing full body workouts, the result is toned muscles that look sexy - not bulky!

In the MAX Workouts book, the recommended weights for women vs. men are listed in each workout chart.
