The Most Significant Transformation In Fitness Since Body for Life.

With over 5 million served, chances are you or someone you know has done the Body-for-Life program, perhaps even becoming one of the inspiring "before & after" success stories. If you've been talking to yourself about "getting back" in your best "after" shape but can't find the time or inspiration, here's your invitation.

Veteran fitness expert and author, Shawn Phillips offers the latest installment in the Phillips' mission to transform our country, and rejuvenate your strength.

Strength for Life delivers "the rest of the story", brilliantly picking up where his younger brother, Bill began nearly a decade ago. It is at once both familiar and completely fresh. An inspiring read with brilliant clarity and iconic concepts, ala the classic "Good to Great," this is no typical fitness "to do list." Strength for Life is a brilliant ray of light cutting a path through the "fog of fitness" that makes living a Transformed life foolproof.

As much an intelligent guide to your life at full strength as it is the beginning of a movement, Strength for Life transmits a profound message that resonates deep within. The author calls forth an inspiring vision of Strength for our country as it draws you effortlessly towards your best life.

As simple as it is effective, Strength for Life offers the first and only fully integrated body-mind program for maximum results in minimal time.

The innovative 3-Phase System amplifies the success rate while eliminating the leading causes of fitness failure. The 12-day total body reboot, activates, the 12-week training camp transforms and the innovative 12-month personalized plan: "Week 13 and Beyond" delivers you beyond health—beyond "good enough," to a life of Strength: an abundance of health, energy and vitality to do more, have more and be more.

Health is Killing America

Strength for Life exposes the "paradox of health:" How Americans can be both obsessed with health, yet be increasingly unhealthy? Phillips calls forth the urgent need to go beyond health"—which is for most nothing more than being free from illness—to a life of strength which he defines as abundant energy, vitality and the capacity to make an impact in the world.

The sort of Strength you will uncover in this program is more than physical, it's a strength of body, mind and heart. Some 2,000 years ago the Greeks declared "mens sana in corpore sano" translated "a healthy mind in a healthy body." Ever since, health has been the accepted standard, but today life demands more of us. Hence, Phillips contends nothing less than "a strong mind in a strong body" will do. The message is loud and clear: health is not enough, now is A Time For Strength.

Strength is abundance. It enables you to do more, be more and have more: more of everything—more energy, more vitality, more time, more happiness and joy, and more freedom. With strength you stop draining your resources and start building a deep, powerful reservoir of health, energy and vitality. Strength begins inside and radiates into every aspect of your life.

Wisdom that Transforms

Embodying Shawn's more than two decades of leadership in strength and fitness and embracing the lessons from the collective millions of transformationsboth the successes and failures, Strength for Life resolves mysteries and challenges that have plagued many willing fitness enthusiasts for nearly a decade.

A husband, father of two and entrepreneur, Shawn understands the demands of family, work, and life that prevent many from making the time to cultivate their reservoir of strength. Rising to the challenge, literally reinventing fitness with a results-oriented program which enhances every aspect of your life rather than becoming your life, the Strength for Life approach is truly fitness that fits your life.

With the focus on stacking benefits, building mental and physical strength rather than just sculpting your body, Strength for Life offers the breakthrough training method Shawn has pioneered, Focus Intensity Training (F.I.T.). An "East meets West" integration of yoga, meditation and weights F.I.T. strengthens both body and mind. Drawing parallels to the eastern practices, F.I.T. has also been dubbed "the yoga of dumbbells" by those who've experienced its elegance firsthand. It's a powerfully engaging new way to enhance your mental focus, while boosting your training results in less time than ever.

How Will Focus Change Your Life

Perhaps more than any other factor, it is the mastery of your focus—which precedes the mastery of your energy—that separates the average performers from the peak performers in life. The freedom to place your focused attention where you want it, when you want it, offers a competitive advantage in a world where the average attention span is measured in seconds, not minutes.

The result is an entirely new training experience that is at once more effective, refreshing, and engaging. And while for many men and women the superior effectiveness and excellent results is satisfaction enough, the real surprise inside is F.I.T.'s impact not just on the body but on your inner stateemotionally uplifting, strengthening your awareness and presence as well as bolstering your overall well-being. As you will see, F.I.T.'s deeply enjoyable flow state will transform not only your training but the rest of your life.

As you embrace each and every chapter in Strength for Life expect to find your mind engaged, your body energized, and your spirit elevated; from the bottoms of your feet to the top of your head. If Strength for Life were a sequel it would be among the rarest of rare achievements; richer, clearer, stronger and more original than the original.
