Body For Life Review
What You Should Know
The Body for Life program is designed to get average, every day people motivated to make healthy choices in their eating habits and to get off the couch and exercise. The best way to get started with the program is to purchase the book Body for Life by Bill Phillips. As the original founder of the Body for Life program, Bill is extremely motivating. He teaches you how to prepare a well balanced diet, eating six small meals per day instead of the traditional three larger meals. The program also incorporates a well rounded exercise program, combining weight training and cardio. The nice thing about this program is that it only takes 20 minutes on cardio days. There is also a “Challenge” on the website. The Challenge is a twelve week program designed to motivate individuals to follow the Body for Life plan, take before and after photos, and record their progress. At the end of the twelve weeks, you are to write a short essay about yourself and your experience, then mail it in with your photos for a chance to win one of several prizes.
