About This Book

Book Summary

The principles of the Body-for-Life Program are surprisingly simple but remarkably powerful - achieve results in as little as 12 weeks.

Mention the name Bill Phillips, to any of the people he's helped transform and you will see their faces light up with appreciation and respect. These people include:

  • Hundreds of thousands of men and women who read his magazine for guidance and straight-forward information about exercise, nutrition, and living with strength.
  • Elite professional athletes--among them John Elway, Karl Malone, and Mike Piazza, and Terrell Davis--who have turned to Phillips for clear-cut information to enhance their energy and performance.
  • People once plagued by obesity, alcoholism, and life-threatening ailments who accepted a personal challenge from Phillips and, with his help, have regained control of their bodies and their lives.

When you begin to apply the information in this book, you will be proving to yourself that astounding changes are within your grasp too. And, you will discover Body-for-Life is much more than a book about physical fitness--it's a gateway to a new and better life--a life of rewarding and fulfilling moments, perhaps more spectacular than you've ever dared to dream before.

Within 12 weeks, you too are going to know--not believe, but know--that the transformation you've created with your body is merely an example of the power you have to transform everything else in your world.

In language that is vivid and down-to-earth, Bill Phillips guides you, step by step, through the integrated Body-for-Life Program, which reveals:

  • How to lose fat and increase your strength by exercising less, not more;
  • How to tap into an endless source of energy by living with the Power MindsetTM;
  • How to create more time for everything meaningful in your life;
  • How to trade hours of aerobics for minutes of weight training--with dramatic results;
  • How to make continual progress by using the High-Point TechniqueTM;
  • How thousands of ordinary people have now become extraordinary and how you can, too;
  • How to gain control of your body and life, once and for all.

The principles of the Body-for-Life Program are surprisingly simple but remarkably powerful. So allow yourself to experience the force of the information in this book--allow yourself to take your mind, your body, your life to a higher point than you may have ever dreamed you could. All in as little as 12 weeks.

Media Reviews

Author Blurb Christy Hammons, Age 24 Accountant; Lexington, Kentucky
When I first read about Bill's program, I felt a sense of hope I hadn't felt before. I was inspired to take the first crucial step--I decided to change. Within weeks, I felt better, I looked better, and people started to notice. After 12 weeks, I lost 30 pounds, 3 inches off my waist, 4 inches off my hips, and dropped 3 sizes. My life couldn't be better. I'm not settling for mediocrity ever again.

Author Blurb Fred and Renée Scurti, ages 38 and 35. Sales Manager and Homemaker; Parker, Colorado
When we discovered Bill Phillips, we realized we had been confronted with a simple decision, 'Change our lives or dig our own grave with a fork and knife.' After a few weeks on the program, our bodies were changing, but more than that, our relationship, our lives were changing.

Author Blurb Hank Johnson, Age 39 NASA Space Shuttle Engineer; Cape Canaveral, Florida
While going through Bill Phillips' program, the physical changes I experienced were just the 'tip of the iceberg' for the changes in my mind-set. It empowered me and opened my eyes to the possibilities of change in all areas of my life.

Author Blurb John Elway Two-Time NFL World Champion
I admire Bill Phillips because he believes so much in what he's doing, and he's helped so many people, including me. The time I've spent with Bill over the last couple years has been tremendous for me. I feel better mentally and physically. I believe the more his message gets out, the better off everybody's going to be.

Author Blurb Russell Simpson, M.D., age 47 Physician; Huntsville, Alabama
After completing the 12-week program, I not only achieved my physical goals, I rediscovered passion in my life. This became the primary driving force behind my success. I've become the person I've always wanted to be.
