"Hi, I would just like to thank Bill for coming up with this marvelous exercise and diet plan in Body for Life. I used to run intercollegiate track and cross country but I suffered with bulimia (restr
ictive type) for 3 years and I was a little apprehensive about starting a program that makes you eat 6 times a day. However, it has combatted my eating disorder because I feel better about myself ever
y day. I also know that I will look better in 12 weeks! I have accepted the challenge but only to myself. Maybe I will enter the next competition. "

The three-times-a-week weightlifting program in Body for Life is deceptively simple. If you've spent any time in the gym, you've already done all the exercises. But Phillips includes a couple of high-
intensity sets at the end of each exercise that should compound the training effect on each muscle group. Same goes for the cardiovascular exercise he recommends: just 20 minutes, three times a week.
But those 20 minutes are spent jacking the intensity up and down, accomplishing more in less time.

To harness the power of positive pressure, start with regularly subjecting your muscles to a healthy dose of stress by working out. Then, invite other challenges back into your life. Rather than run f
rom pressure situations, or pretend they don't exist, face them. Seek them out. In doing so, you'll find that positive pressure brings out your best. You'll be raising it to a new, higher level, says
Phillips.
