Synopsis

This guide outlines Bill Phillip's fitness programme, comprising weight training, aerobic exercise, and a careful diet. In addition, it addresses the reader's own personal goals and encourages personal transformation mentally, not just physically. The "Body for Life" programme reveals: how to lose fat and increase your strength by exercising less, not more; how to tap into an endless source of energy with Bill's "power mindset"; how to trade hours of aerobics for minutes of weight training - with dramatic results; how to feed your muscles and starve your fat with the provided eating plan; and how resistance training can significantly increase your metabolic rate allowing you to burn fat and change the shape of your body.

About this title

Review:

Bill Phillips is many things to the people who listen to this audiotape: personal trainer, motivational guru, nutrition consultant, personal-success coach. As he reads his bestselling book, he inspires, cajoles, instructs, and sometimes gives listeners a kick in the gluteals. The goal is for the listener to transform his or her body in 12 weeks, and in the process learn that changing one's physique can help one make other changes. The audiobook is spiced up with the comments and testimonials of those who've already done it. The effect is something like an infomercial, except that you've already bought the product, and you don't have to listen to a hired audience clapping. If you follow Phillips' program, you're your own audience. And, if you like your performance, the applause is what you feel inside. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) --Lou Schuler
