Product Description
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.”

Reenergized, Renewed and Ready... May 14, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Strength-for-Life is the most well written, thought out, step-by-step book on how to develop your inner and physical strength to start living life to the fullest. The principles are concrete. The method is simple. A must read for anyone wanting more out of life...and who doesn't?
In Strength-for-Life, Shawn takes us beyond health, beyond the 12-weeks, to the promise of life at FULL Strength. Reading this book helped me to see both what I'd done right and wrong in my previous transformations. It felt great to finally get the answers I've been waiting for. I feel reenergized and renewed knowing I can both enjoy an amazing transformation in less time and hold on to my new, stronger self for life.
Shawn's experience and understanding of what goes on with people who are challenging themselves to transform, is clearly evident in the solutions he provides with his simple, yet revolutionary "Base Camp, Training Transformation Camp, and FIT" methods. Most importantly, Shawn gives the answer to the most common question after any transformation; "what do I do now?" In Week-13 and beyond he delivers a plan that can be used year after year to enjoy one's new-found strength in an active life using the principles learned along the way.
Same Struggle, New Hope May 10, 2008

I first became aware of Shawn Phillips several years ago. His were the abs on the video cover that made my wife say, "HOOFTA!" I began to frequent his website and participate in his on-line communities as well as reading the many articles and book, ABSolution. I've never been in danger of having my abdominal muscles show but I have been able to stay on track and grow the discipline necessary to navigate some major life upheavals.
Shawn doesn't know it but he is on my health board of directors, a small group of people (none of whom know they are on my board of directors) whose opinion carries heavy, heavy weight with me. Shawn has demonstrated for years a diamond-solid integrity. No doubt he can guide you to extreme fitness. No doubt he can teach you all about the nutrition necessary to get those "HOOFTA!" abs.
This book enlightens the reader to the profound and unalterable truths that govern the laws of STRENGTH. Read this book - learn to grow your strength, refresh your spirit and wisely choose the next step along your path.

"The next level"....for everyone May 9, 2008

This new book "Strength for Life," by Shawn Phillips, is informative, inspirational and motivational. We live in a world of instant gratification and this book delivers "instant impact information," beginning on the first page.
"Strength for Life," is the perfect read for anyone wanting to get started, improve their current situation and/or find balance in life.
I have been in the health care profession for over 10 years and not only did I learn from this book, I am recommending this book to everyone.
 more of the same with an integral twist May 6, 2008
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
The author has consistently stayed in shape throughout career, so he is personally successful. Does this translate into success for all others? There is a lot of good solid advice in here; if this is all new to you, you will really enjoy it. If you have read Absolution, Body for Life, and other books I'm not sure how much you will gain. Email requests for everyone to buy this on a certain day were a little off-putting (same thing happened with his other book). Will you be able to stay on the prescribed amount of food and keep achieving results indefinitely? (try it out to find out for yourself)
From the hype surrounding this book I was expecting huge things. Many will benefit from this; the "Integral" slant the prose is couched in may or may not be your cup of tea.
