During the course of that weekend, hundreds of men and women who introduced themselves as avid followers of my magazine came up to shake my hand and chat. What struck me most about the entire experience--what absolutely floored me--was how strikingly out of shape many of these people were. First lineA couple of years ago, I attended a fitness convention in Atlanta. Publisher's noteStep into any gym in America, mention the name Bill Phillips, and watch the faces light up with recognition and respect. These include:Hundreds of thousands of men and women who turn to Phillips's monthly magazine, Muscle Media, for guidance and straight-forward information about exercise, nutrition, and living with strength.Professional and amateur athletes--among them John Elway, Karl Malone, and Mike Piazza--and celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone, who have relied on Phillips' clear-cut information to enhance their energy and performance. People once plagued by obesity, alcoholism, and even life-threatening ailments who accepted a personal challenge from Phillips and, with his help, turned their bodies and their lives around.Body-for-LIFE is much more than a book on physical fitness, it's also an inspiring true story of one man's journey through life and the lives he's touched--a journey that began with a dream of helping one million people rebuild their bodies and has evolved into the challenge of a lifetime, a quest to help people from all walks of life search for, and discover, the hero inside each and every one of us.Step-by-step, in language that is vivid and down-to-earth, Phillips maps out a guaranteed recipe for success.This is not a vague, pie-in-the-sky "motivational" book. Neither is it a dense, technical manual about anatomy and physiology. In these pages, you will learn:How to develop the mind-set to cross the abyss between knowledge and action;How to create not only more time but more energy in your day;How to lose fat and gain muscle by eating more, not less;How to trade hours of aerobics for minutes of weight training--with dramatic results;How thousands of ordinary people have become extraordinary role models and how you can too.The principles of the Body-for-LIFE program are profoundly simple, but remarkably powerful. So pull out your calendar, mark 12 weeks from today, and allow yourself to experience the power of the information in this book. Then get ready to take your body, and your life, to a higher point than you may have ever dreamed possible.Change Your Mind--Change Your Body--Change Your LifeImagine, just 12 weeks from now, having the lean healthy body you've always wanted and not having to turn your life upside-down to get it. Imagine having the energy to be at your peak from dawn to dusk, having the confidence to do all the things you've been putting off, having the certainty to make the right decision at the right time, knowing that you really do have the power to change--not just your body but anything in this world you set your mind to.If this sounds unlikely, or even impossible, it's time you were introduced to Bill Phillips and his Body-for-LIFE program--it's time you join the legions of people who have reaped the benefits of his expert advice. The founder and executive editor of "Muscle Media"--one of the nation's fastest growing strength-training magazines--presents a 12-week motivational program to achieve mental and physical fitness for a lifetime. Photos & illustrations. Index. AnnotationIn BODY FOR LIFE, bodybuilding magazine publisher and health guru Bill Phillips helps readers to break through the bad mental and physical habits that keep them soft and out of shape. With this guidebook, readers will learn how to eat right, train right, and think right to achieve a better body and healthier life. Though a rigorous fitness program that includes weight training, aerobics, and a strict yet ample diet plan, Phillips promises results in just 12 short weeks. With his extensive experience in weight-training, Phillips is able to credibly recommend unusual training techniques such as including high-intensity sets at the end of each exercise in order to stimulate muscle growth. Similarly, he recommends 20 minutes of aerobic activity with varying intensity, to achieve more caloric loss in less time. Phillips writes in the introduction that he created this system after realizing so many of his devoted fans and readers were--amazingly--actually out of shape. Through BODY FOR LIFE, Phillips motivates readers to create their own success stories and achieve the mental and physical fitness they had previously only read about.
