The Body-for-LIFE Challenge is a 12-week healthy living contest based on proven principles in the best-selling book Body-for-LIFE by Bill Phillips, a former competitive bodybuilder. Participants track their progress and submit before and after photos. They are also asked to record their transformation and they are judged on the quality of their outer and inner transformation. Or, you can do the program on your own and incorporate the ideals of this challenge into your every day routine for as long as you reap the health benefits.

This intense exercise and nutrition program is based on the premise that you&undefined;re more likely to stick with a diet and workout if you see results quickly. It involves weight training alternating with aerobic exercise, and eating 6 small healthy meals a day.
Whether you want fat loss, lean muscle mass, toning, strength, muscle growth, or a lifestyle change, at any stage you can set goals with Body-for-LIFE and achieve them. Inspiring success stories, motivational tips and recipes are just a few of the resources to help you along the way.

The principles:
1) Eat more often. Frequent, balanced meals and healthy snacks help your body burn fat and help maintain stable energy levels. Make it your goal each day to eat six times a day, every few hours.

2) Get moving. Exercise will lead to even better results. Walk with your family, take the stairs instead of the elevator and park farther away from your destination. Body-for-Life uses proven strength-training and cardio programs.
