Publisher's summary

Change your mind. Change your body. Change your life.

Imagine, 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, and 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 maybe even impossible, it's time you were introduced to Bill Phillips and his Body-for-LIFE program. It's time you join those who have experienced breakthroughs with the help of his expert advice.

These people include: hundreds of thousands of men and women who read his magazine for guidance and straightforward information about exercise, nutrition, and living with strength.

Elite professional athletes, among them John Elway, Karl Malone, 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 now regained control of their bodies and lives.

The principles of the Body-for-LIFE program are surprisingly simple but remarkably powerful. Allow yourself to experience the force of the information on this audio, 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.

Excellent content and very motivational

I read the Body for Life book 17 years ago and the information is as true today as it was back then. I love this version of the book and Bill's Power Mindset chapter is worth the price of the entire book.

This book will actually change lives.

The most fundamental of nutrition, fitness, and transformation made simple. A mandatory read for everyone.

Using this program, I took 11 1/2 inches off my waist alone in 12 weeks. It's fabulous. Just trust the process.

Buy the Hardcopy instead

I did this program years back and it worked for me, just like in the before after picts...and I know it works if you follow it. I want to put myself on a new program and while I mostly know what to do, I wanted some refreshers and motivation.

This audio book is no where Near as good as the hard copy book and I feel like I just wasted my time listening to it.

At best, I would say do both books to compliment each other, but this audio book on its own is fairly useless.

Almost

Spoken by Bill Phillips

What did you like best about this story?

The motivational examples

Any additional comments?

I really wished that this was unabridged. It didn't flow as well to me as the book, and I've read the book several times...I didn't think to get the unabridged version, if there is one...my mistake.

The best for 49 year old

As a 49 year old male who has tried many programs, I find Body For Life to be the best program I have ever tried in my life. Within 6 weeks I had lost 3 inches from my waist, had more energy and felt the best I had felt since high school.

Great golden nuggets

The testimonials are a bit corny and a bit exaggerated however the information in this book is gold!!!

Arguably among the best get-fit programs ever

Did this 15 yrs ago and lost around 40 lbs during 12 week program. Dropped another 20 in the year or so to follow. Takes focus but the results are literally life-changing. Advice is as solid today as it was back in 1999 when published.
