Editorial Review:
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 visionsIt’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.”

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A highly motivating read, very useful information...but an incomplete workout plan
First of all, I found this book to be very motivating and fun to read, and I like the way the author emphasizes the anti-aging benefits of strength-training for all adults, regardless of your age or gender. I also like the fact that the author emphasizes the importance of achieving high intensity when performing any strength-training exercise. I also have no doubt that this book and workout plan is of great value to anyone who is new to weight-lifting.
But to think that this the only workout ... Read More
Rating:  - Right On!
This is a wonderfully written book with humor and intelligence that really motivates you to get connected to your workout and keep going. Strength for Life has helped me to focus on strengthening my body, my mind and my life.
I highly recommend this book to both men and women who want to live each moment in their lives with strength and intention.
Thank you Shawn Phillips!
Rating:  - Not as good as all the great reviews!
First, I must say that this book has a lot of good information and good advice. However, there is nothing new in the Strength For Life plan. What you will learn from this book has already been published by others for years. The author just puts his personal twist on things. We all know we should get at least 7 hours of sleep,eat balanced meals,and have a positive attitude in life and this is basically what the author is saying.
There are a couple of areas where this book goes against years of ... Read More

Rating: - Finally - A New Fitness Spark!
What a GREAT book! The book is a quick read and is loaded with sensible fitness and nutrition information that just makes sense. I'd like to put emphasis on the fact that this information JUST MAKES SENSE. Above all this book makes you believe that you CAN make a change in yourself!
Over the years work, family, house chores, fast food, and hobbies have taken the place of fitness. About a year ago I realized I had let myself go. After five+ years of treating my body like "an ole honky ... Read More
