Hello, is anyone interested in doing the body for life challenge? Here is a link to the official website: http://www.bodyforlife.com/index.asp Here is a link to a friend of mine that did the program (and won $40,000), you can see her before pics, scroll down and see her after 12 pics http://www.bodyforlife-tracker.com/showphotos.cfm?id=15910

The program is exercising 6 days a week, example

Week 1

Monday - Weight training - upper body exercises (you can print the areas off the official BFL website)

Tuesdays - 20 min of aerobic (HIIT)

Wednesday - Weight training - lower body

Thursday - 20 min of aerobic HIIT

Friday - weight training upper body

Saturday - 20 min of aerobic (HIIT)

Sunday - off

Week 2

M - Weight training (but you do Lower body)

Tuesday - aerobics 20 min of HITT

Wednesday - upper body weight training

Thursday -

Do you get the picture now. Anyhow, you also eat 5 to 6 small meals a day, and being a bandster, we would probably have to modify that some. You have to take a before pic, within 3 days of beginning, and you take an after pic within 3 days of ending.

I am just looking for a buddy, someone that I can be accountable to. The next round dates begin by June 24th, you can start anytime, but you just have to start by June 24th. I am wanting to start the program on April 30th (Monday). Anyone interested? The book is called Body for Life by Bill Phillips, it explains the program in more detail. You do exercise in the am, first thing in the morning (which has been hard for me).

I personally saw my friend transform her body (she was not fat to begin with, but "skinny fat", she totally changed her body. I know it works, even though its hard and intense, but its only for 12 weeks.

hi sunshine,

i know the BFL program and did very well on it at one time. of course i ended up falling off the wagon.

but since i have my handy little "band" it is keeping me honest and on course

i would like to join this challenge. the workout is efficient which i like.

are you going to officially join?

how are you going to structure it for our group? do we check in daily with how we are doing?

will it be on this thread? or a new one.

i will start 4/23 with you. this is "just what the doctor ordered"

last week i asked my doctor if i could start spinning (which i love) and weights and he said "why not?"

so....

thanks for starting this challenge

Yay, another one joining the challenge! Okay, I think I will start a new thread entitled BFL challange 1, and begin it 4/23/07 and I'll ask for a roll call. What I was thinking is we could keep our daily food and workout plan in our own journal, and just check in on Mondays or whenever to touch base.

I think I will join the challenge officially with BLF as well. I am going to take my before picture this weekend and will take my after picture and if I don't look too bad, I'll post them. lol.
