Shawn Phillips is an internationally respected strength and fitness expert who has helped athletes, celebrities, and tens of thousands of others over the past twenty years. Now he's sharing his fresh approach to fitness with everyone. Strength for Life is an easy-to-implement program to help you get in fantastic shape, enjoy abundant energy, and maintain a lean, strong physique--not just for 12 weeks but for the rest of your life.

Let's face it, with the demands of family, work, and life, many of us simply don't have the time to stick to a rigorous workout schedule. Through his own life experience, Shawn Phillips has recognized this challenge and risen to it, literally reinventing fitness with a results-oriented program that you can embrace even with your hectic schedule and do either at home or at the gym. Homing in on the idea of building mental and physical strength rather than just sculpting your body, Shawn has pioneered a technique called Focus Intensity Training ™ (FIT), which uses the mind-body connection to yield incredible results. The program features

• a workout plan that can take as little as 35 minutes a day, 3 times a week
• illustrated exercises with clear step-by-step instructions
• 3 workout phases--a 12-day Base Camp pre-training period, a 12-week Transformation Camp, and a year-round continuation plan geared to keep you going strong and vibrant for the rest of your life
• a simple eating plan to fuel your body for optimum energy and performance--one that will free you from dieting forever
• goal-setting exercises to help you achieve lasting motivation and reach your loftiest visions

It's never too late to get in shape. If you're in your twenties or thirties, Strength for Life will show you how to achieve peak levels of fitness year after year. For those forty and beyond, you can look forward to recapturing the energy and vitality you thought you had lost. By following Strength for Life, you will make yourself stronger, leaner, sharper, and more confident. As Shawn writes: 'Strength is about being more, doing more, giving more. It's not just surviving, it's thriving. And most important, strength is about having a reserve, a deeper, fuller capacity of body, mind, heart, and soul.'

Textauszug

If the idea of having a lean, strong, beautifully fit body, of feeling great with more energy and even looking years younger grabs your interest--great news: You've just taken the first step toward your absolute best life.

Strength for Life contains easy-to-follow proven principles and practices that can empower you to transform your life. Whether you just need to drop a few pounds, sculpt and shape, boost your confidence, lift your energy, or create a brand-new you, I invite you to take the decisive next step with me and dare to discover just how truly amazing looking and feeling great can be.

Perhaps you're thinking, 'Sure, I'd enjoy swapping some weight for shape and I'm in for more energy and self-confidence, but I've got to know: What's it going to take? I'm very busy--there is so little free time. Will this be something I can do? It best be fast and easy or I'll drop off.'

At one time or another we've all felt the draw of the quick fix. The hope is that the picture-perfect body might come in a pill, that you can diet your way thin without exercise, or even that cardio alone can shape your body strong. If you're still being held back by any of these fitness fantasies, the book you hold in your hands will set you free.

What if forging your body stronger and leaner was something you truly enjoyed doing? There would be no reason to celebrate your remarkable discipline, for you'd look forward to it the way avid golfers do a tee time.

What if I were to show you how to get motivated and stay motivated for a lifetime of strength and fitness?

What if I were to show you how you could fall in love with not just the feeling of being fit but the art of training itself--so that you could have the body, the energy, and all that comes with it--without relying on boatloads of discipline?

Would you step up for that?

What if at the same time you train your body strong, you are also strengthening your capacity to focus and concentrate, becoming more centered, boosting your confidence and performance in work, relationships, and life? Imagine how amazing it could feel to know that your entire life, not just your belt line, is enhanced by your fitness practice.

What if you were to discover a depth and center to strength training that you've only associated with yoga and martial arts?

What if I were to show you a surefire way to end dieting, forever. And give you a simple practice that can change your entire relationship with food?

Would that inspire you to commit?

What if you could swap ten pounds of unwanted body fat for three pounds of lean, strong, energy-burning muscle in about 30 minutes per day? What if your new, stronger, leaner body burned more calories driving your car or just sitting each day than it did previously running three to five miles a day?

What if you were to discover that strength training is not just for men or athletes but is the real secret for women to sculpt a shape they previously only dreamed of?

And what if you enjoyed the time economy of stacking the benefits of strengthening your mind while training your body--for double the results? In this time-crunched world, there's tremendous value to one activity producing multiple benefits.

Sound good?

The breakthrough program I've put forth in Strength for Life is going to help you sculpt your body lean and do much more. It's a guide to life at full strength. I'll show you how to start strong, get strong, and stay strong by igniting your inner fire of motivation, helping you to channel it, to transform it, and finally to live a transformed life.
