Cardio and Strength Training
$5.99
Train smarter. Live longer. The training method backed by decades of research. Zone 2. HIIT. Strength. Recovery. Polarized training builds a heart that lasts a lifetime.
→ "It's the best workout app I've ever used."
→ "Very visual and intuitive.”
→ "Workouts are great, fast-paced without frills."
Max Workout is the BEST possible way to train your heart if you want the strongest long-term outcome: polarized training.
What most people don't know is highly active people, who do moderate-intensity cardio day after day without variation or recovery, can get heart disease through cardiac remodeling and oxidative stress.
Polarized training optimizes your training through a purposeful structure. It combines low-intensity aerobic work, high-intensity intervals, and resistance training so you can build a heart that’s not just fit, but resilient. Same effort, but your outcome improves.
With Polarized Training:
→ Low Intensity: 80% of training should be at a low-intensity (zone-2) pace. Low-intensity work is specifically designed to avoid strain and protects against the risks of chronic volume overload.
→ High Intensity: 20% dedicated to high-intensity intervals. This stimulates nitric oxide production in the coronary arteries which helps keep blood vessels flexible and resistant to disease. This method also allows you to achieve superior vascular protection in less total time compared to steady, moderate-intensity training.
→ Resistance Training: Lifting weights is crucial for cardiovascular health, as it improves pumping efficiency without the volume overload associated with steady cardio, and it is particularly beneficial for those over 50.
→ Prioritizing Recovery: Recovery is a physiological necessity, especially after age 50, with recommendations for at least 48 hours between hard sessions.
Max Workout is THE PERFECT tool for you to reach these goals.
→ Zone 2 training. It's training for longer periods at a lower intensity. It's cardio that doesn't suck. You can do it for the rest of your life with a low chance of injury. And the health benefits are transformative!
→ HIIT. It's interval training at high intensity for short periods of time. It's exercise for people without a lot of time. You burn calories and reduce body fat, heart rate, blood pressure, and all-cause mortality. It improves VO2 max, insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and memory.
→ reHIT. It's reduced exertion high-intensity training. It's like HIIT and has similar benefits, but takes even less time. Research shows you can get the same benefits of about an hour of traditional endurance training in 40 seconds' worth of intense exercise. Intensity matters more than duration. You can get a science-proven workout in as little as 8 minutes. No lie.
→ Bodyweight strength training. Get stronger, live longer. People who live longest have the highest percentage of lean muscle mass at age 65. So you need to build or at least maintain muscle mass.
→ Purpose-driven meditations. Max Workout has a different approach to meditation than expensive apps like Calm and Headspace—it has meditations for specific purposes. There are meditations to help you rest, consolidate learning, reduce your sense of fatigue, improve focus, improve mood, boost neuroplasticity, and improve sleep.
→ Wim Hof breathing. Wim Hof is famous for his breathing technique that combines periods of deep breathing followed by voluntary breath-holds.
→ Breathwork. Max Workout offers another breathing tool that guides you through a fully customizable breathing session. Use it to wake up, fall asleep, calm anxiety, and improve physical performance.
→ Sleepwork. Sleep is the single best thing you can do to reset your body and health. It's the best nootropic, stress relief, trauma release, immune booster, hormone augmenter, and emotional stabilizer.
→ Progress tracking. Making workouts a habit is the key to long-term success. That's why Max Workout has comprehensive voice prompting to help you stay on track and keep motivated during workouts.

→ Added polarized training model. Polarized training is the BEST possible way to build a more resilient heart. The core takeaway is that while maintaining an active lifestyle is essential, how you structure your exercise—through variety, recovery, and resistance training—is vital for long-term cardiac protection. Polarized Training (80/20): Roughly 80% of training should be at a low-intensity (conversational) pace, with 20% dedicated to high-intensity intervals. Resistance Training: Lifting weights is crucial for cardiovascular health, as it improves pumping efficiency without the volume overload associated with steady cardio, and it is particularly beneficial for those over 50. Prioritizing Recovery: Recovery is a physiological necessity, especially after age 50, with recommendations for at least 48 hours between hard sessions.
How do you keep your arteries flexible? The production of nitric oxide in the coronary arteries is what keeps those vessels flexible and resistant to disease. Performing short, high-intensity intervals is more effective at stimulating this nitric oxide production than spending the same amount of time at a steady, moderate pace.
The approach addresses the cardiac remodeling that occurs when the heart adapts to the demands placed upon it. While healthy stress with recovery leads to a stronger heart, chronic, poorly varied, and unrecovered exercise causes the heart to adapt in ways that are not beneficial. Structural changes: The heart muscle walls can thicken and stiffen, and the heart chambers can stretch and dilate. Electrical issues: The electrical systems that coordinate the heartbeat can become unreliable over time. Right ventricle strain: During sustained aerobic exercise, the right ventricle—which is thinner and more vulnerable than the left—handles a volume surge four to five times its resting level. Repeated, chronic volume stress on this side of the heart is linked to higher rates of atrial fibrillation. Oxidative stress: Prolonged moderate-intensity cardio without adequate rest generates excessive reactive oxygen species, which can overwhelm the body's antioxidant defenses, damage mitochondria in heart muscle cells, and reduce the heart's overall resilience.

→ New Fasting Tracking
Do you fast? You can now track your fasting days on Max Workout!
→ New Workout Plan: Menopausal
This new workout profile is for women who are going through the menopause transition or who are in menopause or post-menopausal. Menopausal women need a different exercise routine than the standard recommendations given to every one of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
Menopausal women have an increase in cortisol. They are in what's known as sympathetic drive, which means you are in flight or fight response all the time. Moderate-intensity exercise simply increases cortisol more, which pushes signals to keep belly fat, keep body fat, and reduce lean muscle mass.
To counter this, menopausal women need more strength training and more high-intensity or sprint interval cardio training. That's what this profile provides.
→ New Meditation: Loving Kindness Meditation
This great meditation uses words, images, and feelings to send love and goodwill to ourselves and others. It has been shown to increase, over the long term, positive emotions and decrease negative emotions; increase vagal tone, which increases positive emotions and feelings of social connection; decrease migraines; decrease chronic pain; increase gray matter volume; slow biological aging; reduce self-criticism and depressive symptoms; improves self-compassion and positive emotions.
→ New Workouts: Buy In, Double Tabata, Hill Repeat, VO2 Max Workout, and Harder Vo2 Max Workout
- Buy In Workout. This is a new SIT workout, and it's a new kind of workout. It combines strength training and cardio training in one under 20-minute workout. It's short but intense. Try it; I think you'll like it.
- Double Tabata Workout. Another SIT workout. It's an intense cardio workout. Believe me. It basically doubles the timing and extends the Tabata workout.
- Hill Repeat Workout. Yet another SIT workout that uses your exercise machine to increase the level of difficulty. A nice variation to mix your workouts up a bit.
- VO2 Max Workout and Harder Vo2 Max Workout. Following Peter Attia's recommendations, these are interval workouts specifically designed for VO2 Max training. You'll find them longer but less intense than HIIT.
→ The usual round of small improvements and the fixing of embarrassing bugs.
4.0
→ New Workout Plan: 3-2-1
This new profile is the ultimate workout split—according to TikTok. On this plan, you perform three strength training sessions, two Pilates classes, and one cardio session per week. The underlying philsophy is each workout rotates, giving your muscles ample recovery time.
→ New Max Workout Widget
A widget displays your Max Workout schedule on your home screen. What it displays depends on the size of the widget.
The small widget displays what workout is next for today according to your schedule. The medium widget shows what's next for a whole week at a time. The large widget shows your schedule for the week and information on the workouts you've already completed.
What's the best way to increase your VO2 max? High-intensity exercise. What is Max Workout great at? Helping you do a huge variety of different high-intensity workouts.

→ New Workout Plan: Menopausal
This new workout profile is for women who are going through the menopause transition or who are in menopause or post-menopausal. Menopausal women need a different exercise routine than the standard recommendations given to every one of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
Menopausal women have an increase in cortisol. They are in what's known as sympathetic drive, which means you are in flight or fight response all the time. Moderate-intensity exercise simply increases cortisol more, which pushes signals to keep belly fat, keep body fat, and reduce lean muscle mass.
To counter this, menopausal women need more strength training and more high-intensity or sprint interval cardio training. That's what this profile provides.
→ New Meditation: Loving Kindness Meditation
This great meditation uses words, images, and feelings to send love and goodwill to ourselves and others. It has been shown to increase, over the long term, positive emotions and decrease negative emotions; increase vagal tone, which increases positive emotions and feelings of social connection; decrease migraines; decrease chronic pain; increase gray matter volume; slow biological aging; reduce self-criticism and depressive symptoms; improves self-compassion and positive emotions.
→ New Workouts: Buy In, Double Tabata, Hill Repeat, VO2 Max Workout, and Harder Vo2 Max Workout
- Buy In Workout. This is a new SIT workout, and it's a new kind of workout. It combines strength training and cardio training in one under 20-minute workout. It's short but intense. Try it; I think you'll like it.
- Double Tabata Workout. Another SIT workout. It's an intense cardio workout. Believe me. It basically doubles the timing and extends the Tabata workout.
- Hill Repeat Workout. Yet another SIT workout that uses your exercise machine to increase the level of difficulty. A nice variation to mix your workouts up a bit.
- VO2 Max Workout and Harder Vo2 Max Workout. Following Peter Attia's recommendations, these are interval workouts specifically designed for VO2 Max training. You'll find them longer but less intense than HIIT.
→ The usual round of small improvements and the fixing of embarrassing bugs.

→ Newest Way to Workout in Less Time: Exercise Snacks!
It's counterintuitive, but you don't need long bouts of exercise to see significant improvements in your health. How? Exercise Snacks. An exercise snack is a brief bout of vigorous intensity exercise, lasting only a minute, that you do 4-5 times throughout your day. You can think of exercise snacks as the cure for sitting all day. And yes, it's research-based, or it wouldn't be in Max Workout.
The message is simple: The more you move at a higher intensity as part of your daily living, the lower your risk of developing cancer.
An exercise snack is a one-minute video workout like pushups, wall sits, and similar exercises. Not difficult to do, but hard enough to get your heart pumping. By default four snacks will be scheduled throughout Monday through Friday: 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, and 4 PM. You can change that if you wish, but that's the default because that's what you need to see max results in min time.
At those times, you'll get a notification on your device. Tapping the notification takes you directly to the workout.
→ Best Workout to Reduce Blood Pressure
It's hard to believe, but isometric exercises are the most effective exercises to reduce your blood pressure, equivalent to taking a medication at its best.
You can lower your systolic blood pressure (the high number) by over 8 points. You can lower your diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) by 4 points.
Isn't that amazing? You know what's even more amazing, you now have access to that blood pressure lowering workout in Max Workout.
→ New Workout Plan Option for People With No Time to Exercise
No time to exercise? Max Workout has you. There's a new workout profile for people who don't have a lot of time to exercise, yet still want maximum results for their exercise investment. The good news is that's perfectly possible. Short bouts of exercise have proven to be effective in improving your health. If you select this option, you are scheduled for two Zone 5 and two strength training workouts a week. That could take as little as 30 minutes a week, and you will see noticeable results in even that little of time. Yes, really.
-> New 90-Second extended Accelerations workout.
This workout simulates accelerations to get over short hills. Great for cyclists.
→ Bug Fixes (or Incremental Improvements)

1. Create Your Custom Workout Plan
This is a huge new feature. It takes the existing goal-setting feature and takes it up a notch—or two. Tap the Tools tab to access Create Workout Plan. New maxers will be guided through the process during onboarding.
Create Workout Plan does everything for you. It helps you create a workout plan based on your personal ambitions. It asks you a bunch of questions and then creates a workout plan based on guidelines from the famous Dr. Peter Attia and Andrew Huberman, PhD.
Your workout plan is a set of goals for the week. A goal is something you want to accomplish, like doing a strength workout on Monday and Wednesday. When you accept the recommendations, they become your new weekly goals, and a workout schedule is automatically generated for you.
You can then custom-tailor the schedule to meet your needs. A notification is generated to remind you of your scheduled workouts. Never miss a workout again!
2. Schedule Your Workouts
What if you want more control over your workout schedule than Create Workout Plan gives you? Tap the Tools tab to access Schedule Workouts.
Schedule Workouts lets you change anything and everything about your workout schedule: change which days you want to work out, what hours you want to work out, what you want to do on a particular day, and so on.
3. Exercise Made Simple Part 1
Tap the Start My Next Workout button at the top of the workouts page, and the app picks a workout for you based on the goals you have yet to accomplish for that day and the week. It's for when you don't want to decide what to do next. We've all had those kind of days.
Are you stuck? It will also help you get out of a rut. We tend to do the same thing over and over again. We need to change things from time to time. What matters is taking action. Doing something. This helps.
4. Exercise Made Simple Part 2
You may know when you long tap on the Max Workout icon; it gives you a few shortcuts to start workouts, meditations, and crush cravings. You can set which workouts are selected by the menu items in Settings. There's now an option called Next Workout that will automatically select a workout for you based on your workout plan. It's just that easy!
5. Stability Workout
Your body is what moves you through space. Strength is what moves your body. Stability is how your strength is delivered through your body. Maintaining your balance and stability as you age reduces the likelihood of injuries due to falling.

You can now do that. Tap on Tools. Tap on Add Completed Workout. Now you can add any workout you want. For example, when I do my dumbbell lifting routine, I add it so it fulfills my Stength goal.
9. Weekly Goal Progress Circle. It's progress circles all the way down. You know how on interval workouts, there's a progress circle to guide your way through a workout? There's now a progress circle for your weekly goals, too. Tap the star field to see your goal progress circle and more goal status information.

→ Added polarized training model. Polarized training is the BEST possible way to build a more resilient heart. The core takeaway is that while maintaining an active lifestyle is essential, how you structure your exercise—through variety, recovery, and resistance training—is vital for long-term cardiac protection. Polarized Training (80/20): Roughly 80% of training should be at a low-intensity (conversational) pace, with 20% dedicated to high-intensity intervals. Resistance Training: Lifting weights is crucial for cardiovascular health, as it improves pumping efficiency without the volume overload associated with steady cardio, and it is particularly beneficial for those over 50. Prioritizing Recovery: Recovery is a physiological necessity, especially after age 50, with recommendations for at least 48 hours between hard sessions.
How do you keep your arteries flexible? The production of nitric oxide in the coronary arteries is what keeps those vessels flexible and resistant to disease. Performing short, high-intensity intervals is more effective at stimulating this nitric oxide production than spending the same amount of time at a steady, moderate pace.
The approach addresses the cardiac remodeling that occurs when the heart adapts to the demands placed upon it. While healthy stress with recovery leads to a stronger heart, chronic, poorly varied, and unrecovered exercise causes the heart to adapt in ways that are not beneficial. Structural changes: The heart muscle walls can thicken and stiffen, and the heart chambers can stretch and dilate. Electrical issues: The electrical systems that coordinate the heartbeat can become unreliable over time. Right ventricle strain: During sustained aerobic exercise, the right ventricle—which is thinner and more vulnerable than the left—handles a volume surge four to five times its resting level. Repeated, chronic volume stress on this side of the heart is linked to higher rates of atrial fibrillation. Oxidative stress: Prolonged moderate-intensity cardio without adequate rest generates excessive reactive oxygen species, which can overwhelm the body's antioxidant defenses, damage mitochondria in heart muscle cells, and reduce the heart's overall resilience.
