Get Started Now!

Whether youre starting your rst Body-for-LIFE Challenge or your fourth, now is your opportunity to become a champion today

Chances are if youre reading this, its because you know in your heart that the time has come to make a change. Life throws us all curve balls from time to time, and in the process we dont always make the best choices. If you are like I was, you might not even recognize the person in the mirror anymore and are asking yourself how you even got to this point. Before you start wasting any more energy thinking about how you got here, I want you to stop right now and re-focus your energy on the oppositeon where you WANT to bewhere you CAN be and where you DESERVE to be! Re-shaping your lifestyle to one that is healthy, balanced, full of energy, and one that brings out the very best in you is so much simpler than you might think. When I chose to do Body-forLIFE, I didnt realize how much physically transforming would also translate into all other areas of my life. Not only did I lose almost 10% body fat and 8 dress sizes in only 12 weeks, I also completely changed my mood, attitude, relationships, career, and my entire outlook on life. Taking the Bodyfor-LIFE Challenge was hands down the best decision I ever made, and it continues to pay off in ways that I never even imaginedand it all happened with a short 12 week commitment to follow the program.

Questions and Answers

about the Body-for-LIFE Challenge
Tracy Jeffries
2002 Runner-Up

to ocially compete in the Challenge?

Q: Do I have to keep track of my weight or body fat percentage A:

ago, we hoped it would inspire people to make exercise and proper nutrition a top priority in their lives. Many people know what to do, but weve discovered that they need an incentive to help them focus. The idea worked, and now the Body-for-LIFE Challenge has become internationally known around the world. But to many, it signies much more than building a better body the Challenge is a celebration of what is best about the human spirit. Its about the growth and goodness we can all experience when we harness our untapped potential to changeto move forward and improve all aspects of our lives. nutrition and training. Where can I learn more?

Q: What is the Challenge all about? A: When EAS created the Challenge concept and held our rst event 15 years

Yes, you must include your weight on the entry form (page 3). However, body fat percentage is optional. Please share the information about your progress that is meaningful to you. For some it will be body composition percentages, for others it will be cholesterol levels or blood pressure. Many women nd that dress size is a meaningful indicator; whereas many men nd that keeping track of their waist size and the size of their arm or leg to be a good measure of success. It is completely up to you. Get creative! I dont belong to a gym. How can I get started on the training portion of the Challenge? The great thing about Body-for-LIFE is that you dont need to belong to a gym to complete the training portion of the 12-week program. Many of our past participants and Champions did the program exclusively at home. The exercises are simple, and all you really need is a set of dumbbells, PowerBlocks, or resistance bands. You can run or walk outside for the cardio workout, or use an exercise bike or any other type of cardio equipment. For more ideas on working out without a gym, please call 1-800-297-9776 or visit www.bodyforlife.com.

Q: A:

Q: I would like to accept the Challenge, but I dont know much about A:

We recommend these sources of information: Body-for-LIFE, Champions Body-for-LIFE, www.bodyforlife.com, and for those participating in the United States, our Body-for-LIFE Advisors, who you can call at 1-800-297-9776. The Body-for-LIFE books are comprehensive and easy to read. They can help you learn how to build muscle and burn fat fast through an integrated approach to training and nutrition. They both contain vitally important information on how to set goals and achieve them, as well as providing you with the opportunity to learn from others who have successfully completed the 12-week Program. Body-for-LIFE books are available at booksellers everywhere. I have accepted your Challenge in the past, but didnt make it all 12 weeks. Can I enter again?

more than once?

Q: A: Yes! Q: Im not sure if I will be able to reach my goal in 12 weeks. Can I enter A:

include Myoplex and AdvantEDGE. In addition, you can also use any Abbott Nutrition product, such as Ensure, Glucerna* or ZonePerfect. Please remember that Challenge participants announced as Champions will be reimbursed for EAS or Abbott Nutrition products purchased during their 12 weeks if they send in their receipts. For more information on the Challenge or products, please visit us at eas.com, or bodyforlife.com, or call us at 1-800-297-9776. Ive noticed that some Challenge participants held newspapers in their photos and some of the guys shaved body hair and tanned. Do I need to do these things? Holding a newspaper is a great way to date your photos for sharing them with family and friends, but holding a newspaper in your photos is not required. You do not need to shave or tan. Some competitors do this simply to show their muscle denition more clearly.
*Glucerna products are for use under medical supervision as part of a diabetes management plan. PowerBlocksTM is not a trademark of Abbott

Q: Do I have to use EAS products to ocially compete in the Body-for-LIFE Challenge? A: You must use at least one EAS product during your Challenge. EAS product lines

Q: A:

Yes, you can. We admire those who have the strength of character to keep going. You may enter as many times as you like this year, as long as the dates do not overlap.

Shopping
Smart Shopping Tips

In the produce section: Stock upthe more the better. Aim for a variety of colors in your cart to ensure a variety of nutrients. Try pre-washed, pre-cut veggies and pre-bagged salads for quick snacks and side dishes. Buy walnuts, almonds and other nuts for a protein and healthy fat source addition to a meal. At the dairy case: Skim milk and yogurt: choose low-fat (1 percent or 2 percent) or nonfat (skim) products. Cheese: choose the 2 percent type (usually part-skim), which contains 5 grams of fat or fewer per serving. Or try fat-free cheese, although it differs in consistency and taste. Cottage cheese: choose low-fat or non-fat (1 percent fat or fewer). Butter subsitute: use Butter Buds and olive oil for flavorings instead of butter. In the meat/deli section: Beef: choose lean cuts like eye of round, top round and round tip or loin cuts. Look for 90 percent or 95 percent lean labels. Chicken: buy skinless, or remove the skin at home. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are fast and easy to prepare, and many deli sections offer pre-roasted chicken as well. Turkey: remove the skin before eating. Check the label on ground turkey before buyingits usually high in fat. Pork: choose tenderloin or other loin cuts and Canadian bacon over regular bacon. Luncheon meats: choose meats that have 2 grams of fat or fewer per serving and are low in sodium. Read the labels on hot dogsmost are high in fat. Fresh fish: all goodfind a fish that is flavorful and in season. Salads, pre-packaged sandwiches and other convenience foods: you can pick up a quick meal at the stores deli, but look for lower-fat versions and avoid mayonnaise-heavy dressings.

In the grocery section: Bread: choose whole-grain type, with a whole-grain as the first ingredient and 2 or more grams of fiber per slice. Look for whole grain bagels, pita bread and English muffins, but avoid higher-fat bread products like muffins, croissants and pastries. Cereals: choose whole-grain types with at least 4 to 5 grams of fiber and fewer than 10 grams of sugar per serving. Crackers: choose low-fat crackers and whole-grain varieties. Pastas and rice: look for whole-grain or whole-wheat versions. Canned soups: bean-based soups are often good choices. Choose broth-based type soups like minestrone, chicken noodle or chicken/rice and vegetable, which are lower in fat than cream-based soups. Look for lower sodium varieties. Fruit and vegetable juices: choose 100 percent fruit juices. Select lower-sodium vegetable juices. Look for canned fruits packed in their own juice for less sugar and fewer calories and lower-sodium versions of canned vegetables. Choose fresh before frozen with canned as your last choice. Limit fruit for a leaner physique. Canned chicken and tuna: choose packed in water, not oil. Canned Italian tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce: these low-fat sauces make whipping up a meal of pasta a cinch. Peanut butter: choose a natural style brand and be sure to mix the oil on top back into the butter. Whole fruit is a better choice than dried fruit or fruit juice. In the frozen food section: Skillet meals and frozen entrees: choose those that are low in sodium and fat. Frozen soups: look for broth- and bean-based versions. Frozen rice bowls: a healthy choice, but watch the fat and salt content. Low-fat frozen breakfast items: double-check the labels for fat content. Frozen mashed potatoes and frozen vegetables: check the fat and salt content. Frozen fruit like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries: look for fruit-only versionstheyre great for quick smoothies. Frozen stir-fry rice or pasta and veggies: look for low-fat and sodium varieties. Frozen desserts: look for fruit-juice bars, frozen fruit, sorbet, frozen yogurt and low-fat ice creams with fewer than 5 grams of fat per serving. With all of these food selections, make sure you combine both protein and carbohydrate to make a Body-for-LIFE meal.

All Out High-Point. Go For It! 2nd High Intensity Level 3rd High Intensity Level

Intensity Level

 Alternate training the major muscles of the upper and lower body on separate workout days.  Perform two exercises for each major muscle group.  Select one exercise for each muscle group and do five sets, starting with a set of 12 reps, then increasing the weight and doing 10 reps, adding more weight and doing 8 reps, adding more weight for 6 reps. Then reduce the weight, do 12 more reps, and immediately go to another set of 12 reps of another exercise for that muscle group.  For each muscle group, rest for one minute between the first four sets. Then complete the final two sets with no rests in between (this is called a superset). Wait two minutes before moving on to your next muscle group. Complete this pattern five times for your upper body workout and four times for your lower body workout. Always plan your training beforehand. 13 www.bodyforlife.com

Do You Know When Youve Reached Your High-Point?

1.  If you can read a magazine while on the treadmill, youre nowhere near your High Point. 2.  If you can speak to the person next to you, you still have a way to go. 3.  If you havent reached 80% of your maximum heart rate (220 minus your age and multiplied by .8), take it up a notch. 4.  When you feel a burning sensation in your legs and arms, you may be at level 9. 5.  When you reach the point where you feel you cant take a few more steps, or lift another couple of reps, congratulations, youve just hit level 10. Hold on for another 60 seconds and finish with an easy cool down. QUICK TIP: Alternate weight-training and cardio workouts for six consecutive days and rest on the seventh day. 1.800.297.9776 14

For example, if your start date is January 5th, you could take your photos as soon as January 2nd, or as late as January 8th.

Professional photographs are not necessary, but remember, this is the only way we can see your transformation, so good, clear photos are essential.

Please stand with your arms at your sides in the before and after photos. No posing, please! Please include your whole body, from head to toe. Try to ll the photograph with yourself.

Six (6) Category Champions will be selected based on the foregoing criteria. The judges will also select two (2) other champions-each of whom is determined by the judges to best represent Body-for-LIFE.
