You have the Body For Life For Women diet plan now get started with the Body For Life For Women Training Program that will make you stronger, leaner, and more fit than you thought possible. I can confidently say that because I've been on the program myself. Five months after having a baby (five years ago) I started getting serious about losing my post pregnancy fat. I had managed to lose 8 pounds in one month by going on The Zone diet and using Billy Blanks Tae Bo Advanced. The problem is that I was beginning to plateau and my energy levels were incredibly low. I increased my Tae Bo to twice a day and added a couple of days of strength training a week but my weight just wouldn't budge. It was a classic case of too much exercise and not enough calories.

I was at a loss. I had been doing aerobics, step, kickboxing, cardio machines, walking, dance, and resistance training since I was 15 years old and I didn't understand why working out more and eating less wasn't working. I ran to the bookstore and found Body for Life. It looked like a great program that covered every aspect of weightloss; cardio, strength, flexibility, diet, and motivation. Within weeks my leg press went from a measly 90 pounds to over 300 pounds and my bench press went from 20 pounds to 50 pounds. I was astounded that I could lift that heavy without getting hurt. My cardio endurance also went through the roof as I learned that shorter more intense workouts were more conducive to fat burning and higher energy levels. I was working out less and eating more and my body was changing big time.

In the two months that I starved my body on The Zone and overtraining with Tae Bo I only managed to lose 8 pounds 0 bodyfat and 0 pant sizes. Within three weeks of being on body for life I dropped 6 pounds 5% body fat and two pant sizes. I felt incredibly strong, fit, and healthy and my energy levels were back up which made keeping up with my little one much easier. Check out the program below and see if it's for you.

Body for Life Training Method

Strength train 30 minutes 2-3 times a week.

Alternate between upper body and lower body/ab workouts.

Perform two exercises for each major muscle group.

Do 3-5 sets of each exercise decreasing reps and increasing the weight each set.

Try 12 10 8 reps as you increase the weight then drop the weight and go two sets of 12 (you're working to failure).

Perform any type of cardio for 30 minutes 3-5 times a week.

Incorporate the high intensity interval cardio method for increased fat burning.

Stretch during your workout (the book stays before but this is dangerous so do it during and after you're warm).

Always warm up 5-10 minutes before all your workouts with a similar activity at a lower intensity.

Plan your workouts ahead of time and track your progress.
