Re: Strength for Life is really good

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the skinny, ! I started this book but I haven't gotten very

far yet! I'm also reading the new Champions BfL book...and a mystery

story. Too many books on my bedside table!

This book has definitely moved up in my " to buy " list. I have dropped

out of challenges again and again, and I believe it is due to not being

mentally prepared. So now, I am taking the time out to journal,

visualize and THINK about where I want to be when the 12 weeks are over.

I am taking my planning seriously this time.

Never giving up,

Deb

Subject: " Strength for Life " is really good

I finished the Strength for Life book by Bill brother, ,

and

it is REALLY good! I think he had to give the obligatory " this is why we

strength train " spiel in the beginning just to make sure everybody was

onboard. After that, he talks about motivation, mindset, goal setting,

and

planning. It was a different and inspiring take on things. Kinda got me

fired up!

He has a 12 day transition into the transformation so that you're in the

right mindset and rested enough to be successful. I thought that was

totally

brilliant. So many people crash and burn in the first week or two

because

they just weren't ready for the mental and physical demands. Then

there's a

new 12 week ass-kicking workout plan that includes drop sets, push/pull

days, a total body routine, HIIT, abs, and even a stretching routine!

Nutrition is pretty basic, pretty similar to BFL but with 5 meals

instead of

6, and they don't all have to be the same size. You can have breakfast,

lunch and dinner with a couple of " snacks " although he hates that word.

I think the most important section of the book is Week 13 and Beyond

because

that's where most people fall apart. They finish a challenge and then

they

burn out or lose momentum. They don't really know what to do with

themselves. has it covered. He helps you plan and periodize your

next

YEAR of training, focusing on a new goal every few months. It doesn't

include a whole year of routines, because of course people's goals will

vary, but he helps you chart the course.

He breaks it down and guides you through 12 days, 12 weeks, and 12

months.

It's awesome! I had a couple of quibbles with it, but nothing major. I

look

forward to writing a full review.

I am finally reading this book! I'm going to try his HIIT in January...I'm

too scared to start before then! Besides that, I've got eye surgery this

week and a week of light workouts planned for next week. Ahhh, an

active recovery week. I need it!
