Book Review:
Body-for-LIFE
By Bill Phillips
HarperCollins, 203 pp.
Reviewed by Hollis Lance Liebman, Exercise for Men Only
Bill Phillips, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Muscle
Media magazine—as well as the creator of Experimental and Applied
Sciences (EAS)—offers us a work we should
believe in. For starters, all profits from Phillips' Body-for-LIFE are
donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Perhaps just as important and
inspiring is the fact that Bill is right there in the 
trenches with the rest of us. No matter how successful a person is, he still
has to fit a fitness regimen and his life into a 24-hour period.
Though he's supplied the world with factual information
regarding each facet of health for years now, Bill is still one of us. He
knows what it's like to be in shape, care about a cause, and become
successful. I'm not being paid to write this, but it needs to be said: Bill
Phillips is a doer. He practices what he preaches and gets things
accomplished. When he writes, we read, absorb, and apply.
Bill's undertaking here is not about a quick route to
success or dieting. We're dealing with health for life. What we're
dealing with here are real people with real needs to better their lives
through fitness. And for those without inspiration, Bill supplies it through
his personal challenge: the Body-for-LIFE
Challenge—one with big goals and big incentives. Besides very lucrative
financial rewards (including a share of $1 million), there's the greatest
prize of all: building your best body. As Bill puts it: "The dream:
Change the world... one life at a time. The goal: Transform one million
Bodies-for-LIFE by 12/31/01."
Bill approaches his system from the inside out, exploring
the mind and reasons for positive thinking on the road to success. He offers
phrases of positive behavior that can't help but get you on your way. He then
puts it in a personal perspective: "The Body-for-LIFE Program is
just that—for life. It's not something I do for just a certain amount of
time. It's the way I live."
It's all so positive, so informative, and so simple that
after you put the book down, you'll want to pick up a dumbbell. Bill lays the
groundwork from everything from nutrition to training to inspiration and
offers the reader the guts to stick with it. He decisively takes the guesswork
out of age-old enigmas about good health and nutrition that schools never
taught us (because they didn't even know). That and the added incentive of a
once-a-week dietary free day did it for me. "Once you discover the right
way to eat, you'll never have to relearn it," he explains.
Don't stop to think about it, just give yourself a chance...
