Hint Number 1 - Buy the book
Phillips has received many honors for his work including the Make-A-Wish Foundation's highest award. He was also honored by Paul Newman and the late John F. Kennedy, Jr., as one of America's most generous business leaders. The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce honored Phillips in January 2000 as one of Ten Outstanding Young Americans. Bill was also chosen to help carry the Olympic torch on its relay across America for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. And now, Bill Phillips is helping to inspire and guide even more people to improve their health and lift their quality of life to new heights.
Here's a list of books. Bill Phillips' book Body for Life is essential to your challenge. Planning healthy meals and snacks, cardio work, and weightlifting leads to weight loss, health, and fitness. Backed up by thousands of success stories, Body for Life can be practiced by anyone. Body for Life is a must for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their own health and improve both the quantity and quality of life-for life.
Hint Number 2 - Take Creatine
Hint Number 3 - Take Myoplex
Personally, I use the ready-to-drink Myoplex. I have it sitting on my desk at work and sip it all day long. This keeps my blood sugar at a constant level - essential to weight loss.
Stop whining about the price! It's the same as a specialty coffee at Starbucks, and less than a single beer in most taverns. Do your body a favor. Stop drinking coffee and beer and start your Myoplex. It's yummy stuff!
I've added a few links here for your convenience. Order today. You'll never get it cheaper.
Hint Number 4 - Take L-Glutamine
Hint Number 5 - Follow the Body-For-Life Diet
Bill Phillips has firm beliefs that go against the grain of today's popular weight-loss methods. "Diets, all of them, are potentially dangerous, most always dumb and ultimately a dead-end street!" he insists. "Eventually, anyone and everyone who's at all concerned with their health must learn how to feed their body, not how to starve it." Instead, he encourages a safe and sound solution, which includes eating balanced, nutrient-rich meals, frequently throughout the day. "This is what works in the long run."
Rich with common sense and science, Eating for Life has rhyme and reason. It is specific. There are very clear dos and don'ts that help people enjoy food and improve their overall fitness.
Bill's approach, which he calls the "Eating for Lifestyle," has already helped thousands of people break free from the dieting dilemma and discover that, contrary to pop-culture belief, food is friend, not foe. Used intelligently, it nourishes the body and mind, satisfies the appetite, calms cravings, renews health and lifts energy.
There's no promise of a quick fix. No metabolic tricks or so-called miracles. Just straightforward, clear, concise, practical and appropriate principles for eating right... for life.
Hint Number 6 - Track Your Progress
This book was a great help in getting into the shape I wanted to be in. It has three key elements: planning, diet, and exercise. For each day of the 12 week journal, there is a new before and after picture, along with that pictured person's motivational story. I loved that part. I picked the picture of one person to be my role model, and it literally gave me a picture of where I wanted to be at the end of the program.
I have since bought more success journals as gifts to friends who keep talking about getting fit but never do it. Even if a person doesn't use the journal specifically as it was intended, it sure gives a framework for setting goals and getting there.
Don't make the mistake of getting lost in your 12-week challenge. Get this book now.
Hint Number 7 - Take a Running Start
Here you see champion Brian Baker. Imagine yourself - transforming your body like this. If you are new to the body for life concept, I suggest you begin with a running start. What I mean is this: Most of us are very out-of-shape when we begin an exercise program. In fact most of us are so out of shape that it takes about 30 days to get our bodies conditioned to weight loss and muscle growth.So, set a date to begin your 12-week challenge - 30 days into the future. Start your workouts now. Follow the exercise program & diet outlined in Bill Phillips' book, Body for Life.
Another reason for a running start: Most out-of-shape people need time to adjust the program and weights to fit their own bodies. This 30-day period will allow you time to get everything in order - diet and exercise.
And, most people will suffer an injury within the first 30 days of a new exercise program. Usually not a serious injury, more of an inconvenience. But a setback, just the same. Get it out of the way and start your 12-week challenge on a dead run.
