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.

Good Starting Point

The testimonials don't detract too much from the basic content. This entire book is based on very simple principles: 1) exercise 2) eat healthy. It doesn't require a dragged out, long audio to cover that. The problem is that most people lack the motivation...which is why the testimonials are included. This is his "inside-out" approach because the mind must want to make changes to the body.

If you are new to working out and need to be educated on basic nutrition and exercise guide lines, this is a great starting point. If you are someone that is already in a program and needs improvements, this is also good.

The main downside on this abridged audio is that it does not include specifics on what exercises to do for each muscle group. I'm assuming that is included in the book...but you can also get it online on the website.

What, it's the end already ?

For me this is much more of a pitch to sell a training program, than a training program. It's a good motivation to get started with improving your health, but it contains no training information what so ever. Just so you know !

Life Changing!!!!

I read this book several years ago and did the program after I had my kid. I was in the best shape of my life 3 months later. It was cool to hear it again with Mr. Phillips narrating. I am going to do it again as it has been 15 years and I have back tracked a bit.
