Rating:  Summary: A new lifestyle-A new you! Motivation/Inspiration! Review: This is THE book to get you motivated and inspired and have a plan to enact when you're finished! Bill makes you ask the questions you wouldn't normally ask yourself. He helps you take your dreams and put them on paper into goals and finally take control of your life. I am a 27 year old mom of two, 5'1", and was 177 pounds at my highest. My life was changed after I read the book. I "decided" that I didn't die at 18 and 110 pounds, and I can look better now than I ever have. This book motivated me enought to change my life! If I can do it, YOU can too. Read this book if you need a new chance at healthy living. This program is easy and attainable! Believe in yourself! YOU CAN DO THIS!
Rating:  Summary: Great book but.... Review: I liked the book very much however a reader should be aware that the diet supplement products sold by the author are expensive. Also he says that "they are there for you." When I e-mailed his web-site about equipment information I received a curt reply of "read the book it's in the book." I was very let down. All I was trying to ask for was better information about what to buy for my workout.
Rating:  Summary: Makes it Easy To Get in Shape! Review: My wife and I did the Body for Life Transformation contest last year. We experienced excellent results in 12 weeks! Myself, I lost 18 lbs of fat and gained 9 lbs of muscle! We worked out 3 times a week and did cardio 3 times a week, we planned out six meals per day, and we saw results happen! This book makes it easy and simple to get into shape!A lot of people blast Bill Phillips for just doing this for money by promoting EAS supplements. Well of course he wants to sell supplements, isn't that what a business does? Why do so many people knock him for what hundreds of other companies do every day? Besides, I believe that EAS supplements are some of the best on the market. Bill Phillips does care about people out there, and helps them become inspired to get in shape. The proceeds from this book go to the Make-A-Wish foundation, the charity he sponsors. How many other supplement companies do this? I recommend this book and the program it features!
Rating:  Summary: One of the Greatest Guides to Fitness! Review: This book is really easy to understand. It gives you the knowledge and skills to transform your body into a fit body. We've read it again and again.
Rating:  Summary: Get in shape! Review: Bill Phillip's book is a great help to get physically in shape. It's perhaps the best fitness book that I've ever read. Getting in shape doesn't happen by watching videos or reading books alone, the excellent tips in this book must be implemented and applied to see results. But Bill makes it real easy in his book to follow the instructions: workout and nutrition. This book is also motivating and inspiring. Regarding the mental fitness aspect, I highly recommend a book with a spiritual touch, as it has helped me a lot, which is Dietmar Scherf's "I Love Me: Avoiding and Overcoming Depression" also available at Amazon.
Rating:  Summary: Highly Recommended Review: When my boyfriend started the Body For Life program I decided right away that I was not going to do the program too. I thought: I hate lifting weights and I'll never succeed following some strict nutrition and exercise program. But one night I picked up the book and found it to be an incredibly easy, make-sense read. So easy, in fact, that I finished the book that evening and started "The Challenge" the next week. This is the first program that I can follow and the exercises are fun and keep me interested. I've already gained muscle tone and lost fat. I've been doing aerobics since high school (I'm 28 now), but have seen more improvement with this program than any aerobics class. Speaking from a woman's point of view, this is a great way to firm up and build confidence with weights. The information is easy to understand and the testimonials are totally inspiring! One added bonus -- my boyfriend and I are enjoying working out at the gym and have changed our eating habits together. It's been great.
Rating:  Summary: Body for Life Review: Excellent,motivating, and inspiring! I got it today and read it already. This is a very powerful book. It teaches you more than how to have a great body. It strengthens you from the inside out. Bill Phillips is amazing.....
Rating:  Summary: This is no fad diet! Review: I have been on every diet you can think of....and this is no fad diet. The things that impressed me the most were the acknowledgement of having the right mind set....and if you want to change something, you need to, well... change something. I have accepted the challenge and am on week 5 now. It really works and is very easy. It is a way of life, not a diet. You have nothing to lose, and if your not happy, remember that proceeds from the Body of Work tape go to Make A Wish Foundation....a very worthy cause. I highly recommend this book, and stand by its methodology. The audio tapes are great, very inspiring and pleasant to listen to. I listen to mine in the car -- over and over again.
Rating:  Summary: A book worth its weight in Gold Review: I have read the book, and I am currently on day 12. This is a must read for anypne looking to make a drastic change in their life. I have put on one pound of muscle, and can finally see shadows of my stomach muscles. Thank you Bill Phillips!
Rating:  Summary: So simple, yet very effective Review: This book is wonderful. Bill Phillips masterfully combines tried and true work out routines with an amazingly simple nutrition program. While the nutrition program seems complicated, once you start using it you realize that with some simple planning and very little effort, it works extremely well. The smaller meals keep you from getting hungry and your body is able to stay fueled all day long. The workouts are very intense, especially the 20 minute cardio program. Bill also includes sample charts to use when you prepare for the day's activities. He has put everything into this book so all you have to do is follow the program. It is extremely easy to modify the plan to fit your self. If you have never worked out before, the book contains pictures and descriptions of all the basic exercises that you should do. Nothing complicated, just plain and simple. The motivation that Bill provides in the form of testimonials from past winners is great. There is no reason that any person, regardless of how bad they think they have it, will not benefit from reading this book and doing exactly what it says.
