Critic reviews

"I admire Bill Phillips because he believes so much in what he's doing, and he's helped so many people, including me." (John Elway, two-time NFL world champion)

Good but disappointing.

I thought it would be the whole book not just pieces from it. Overall great program but u really need the book to get a full understanding.

Very Good !

This is a very helpfull audiobook ! You can listen or you can read it !

Great book

I last used body for life over 20 years ago and it worked great. I went from 318lbs to 227lbs. Unfortunately life happened and a very busy lifestyle the past 7 years I lost my way. I’m ready to do it again.

Body for life

It gave me the motivation to get started. It changed my mindset to get me on track.

Is $12.95 good value for your life? You tell me.

I have been a personal trainer for the last 15 years. This program simply works for every single client I have ever suggested it to. I myself tried it (before recommending it) my own results were outstanding 28lb fat loss in the first 5 weeks, for the other 7 weeks I lost an average 1.5 lbs a week . BUT like every program out there you have to commit to it. It worked because I did everything the book and tape suggested. Taking the photos of myself at the beginning gave me a huge slap in the face. I was gutted, they really showed me how I didn't want to look. I took weekly photos after that cataloging my progress, each week became a 7 day contest to get as far away from that original set of pictures as possible. I'm now really proud of these pictures

Be aware the only people who this program didn't work for either didn't follow the training, didn't follow the diet or didn't follow any of the other advice, basically they didn't do the program.

The book outlines everything you are going to need from planning the results you want to achieve, to outlining each of your days on the program, both nutritionally and training wise. The section on exercises is concise and to the point. Some people criticise the promotion of certain products within the book. Why write a book if you can only share part of the knowledge. The supplements recommended work. Enough said.

The training is simple enough for both a beginner and an advanced trainee to get good results from. Its fun and you can decide how tough to make it.

As to the testimonials. Well, they are pretty American, but ALL these people DID achieve oustanding RESULTS, that should be celebrated and shared.

If you are unhappy with your shape and want to achieve a lean, healthy new outlook on life in 12 weeks, then this piece of work is outstanding value. But read it, plan it,then DO IT!!!

Not the same as Printed Book

I was expecting to be able to switch between the audio book and the printed book, but these are not the same. I like to listen to the book as I'm reading the hard copy. I couldn't do this with this book. I was very disappointed.

The material is good stuff, I recommend the contents to anyone, I was just hoping for an audio version of the printed book.

Great book just too short

The book was great it's more like a inspiration book than it's title. Great book after all just too short. The whole book was just 1 or so.

TOO MANY USELESS STORIES

Would you try another book from Bill Phillips and Michael D'Orso and/or Bill Phillips?

No, I wouldn't advise reading this book. More than half the book is people talking about how the "stuck to this and were successful". The book could have be done in 5 pages, instead they tell the same story over and over and over. It is one of the most boring books Ive encountered. What a waste of time!

inspirational

I've heard about this book for a while. I'm excited to start the program. Going through it, I'm inspired.

Super Energy, Super weight loss!!

I have tried the body for life program by being passed the information from someone else who was in the 12 week program. I now have my own and have used the body for life techniques for 1 week. I have more energy than I could ever imagine. I am already down 2 inches in my waist and have lost 5 lbs!
