Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength

Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength Bill Phillips is many things to the people who listen to this audiotape: personal trainer, motivational guru, nutrition consultant, personal-success coach. As he reads his bestselling book, he inspires, cajoles, instructs, and sometimes gives listeners a kick in the gluteals. The goal is for the listener to transform his or her body in 12 weeks, and in the process learn that changing one’s physique can help one make other changes. The audiobook is spiced up with the comments and testimonials of those who’ve already done it. The effect is something like an infomercial, except that you’ve already bought the product, and you don’t have to listen to a hired audience clapping. If you follow Phillips’ program, you’re your own audience. And, if you like your performance, the applause is what you feel inside. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) –Lou Schuler
Customer Review: Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength
Worth the money. I met one of the people who successfully completed his program and found it was what I need. It has everything you need to do to be successful in the book.
Customer Review: works if you do it!
This is a great program.

First of all and most importantly, you DON’T have to buy his supplements!! He never says that in the book! It is true that if you use, for example, a protein shake it will help you lose weight and build muscle, but you don’t have to and the workouts will still work! Even Slim Fast sells a high protein shake, just use that if you want something.

The workouts are TOUGH. I had for months been spending 8 hours per week in the gym with little to no results. These BFL workouts make maximum use of your gym time and teach you how it feels to make your workouts work! (not painful, just not a walk in the park). I jog and the cardio workouts blew me away, the interval training is hard! I thought “no way 20 minutes will be enough!” because I had been running for 45 minutes 4x a week. Well, they do work! My metabolism is totally made over and my 20 lbs finally came off!

Diet: In a nutshell he teaches you how to eat small healthy balanced meals throughout your day. It’s not gimmicky or “low carb or whatever”, it’s plain healthy eating to fuel your tough workouts.

It’s true he doesn’t go into th much nutrition basics, like why you should eat such and such. As he says in the beginning, this book is for people who know what they should be doing but they just aren’t doing it. Motivation! Most people learn the basics just by picking things up on the news and/or in magazines.

I totally recommend this program. Just try it for a month if you’re intimidated. Change your life! Like anything else, you have to commit to doing it. If you do it WILL work!
