What Is Body-for-LIFE?

Looking for the proven way to get in shape that has worked for more than 2 million people? You’ve found the secret to a leaner, healthier “you” in the next 12 weeks.

Have you ever seen those “before and after” photos where there’s a fat ugly blob on the left, and a toned, healthy, beautiful body on the right? And have you doubted that those results are possible? Or thought that getting similar results is possible, but as likely as getting hit by lightening on your way to cash in your winning PowerBall ticket?

Like you, I have seen those photos. Thousands of them. But I’ve also MET the faces in the photos. Hundreds of them.

In fact, I HAVE one of those faces you see in the photos.

We have completely transformed our lives by EXACTLY following the Body-for-LIFE principles. And the transformation you have witnessed in our photos happened in 12 short weeks.

I’ve got to warn you, if you are looking for the quick fix, look somewhere else. If you want to pop a pill and look like a model, you are not in the right place.

But if you want a proven method to transform your body in 12 weeks, and you want that transformation to last a lifetime, stick around.

The four principles of Body-for-LIFE are simple:

1)
Fuel your body with several small, balanced meals every day. This balances your blood sugar and speeds up your metabolism.

2)
Move around! Do an activity that gets your heart rate up for 20 minutes a day, three days each week.

3)
Sculpt your muscles. Without spending endless hours at the gym each week, dedicate yourself to three short but intense weight training sessions.

4)
Commit yourself to doing this for 12 weeks. How long has it taken you to get your body where it is today? You are unlikely to witness extreme results in just a few days. 12 weeks is a short tunnel with a very bright light at the end. This makes the difference between a fad diet and a program that will give you a lean, healthy body for the rest of your life.

How Will StartTodayFitness Help Me with Body-for-LIFE?

While the Body-for-LIFE book does an excellent job at outlining the program and telling you what to do and how to do it, when we started our first Body-for-LIFE 12 week challenge we found there were a lot of small details we didn’t know like:

- where to get the right containers for our meals
- how to STAY MOTIVATED when so many around us were pulling us down
- how to make easy “on the run” meals that didn’t cost a bundle
- fitting a COMPLETELY NEW PROGRAM into our already full lives

These kinds of details could have stopped us in our tracks.

So we compiled the answers to these questions here at STF for you.

We also found that there were times we needed just a little bit of encouragement or a kind word from someone who knew what we were going through. Maybe even someone who had already done it. We got a lot of that from Donovan.

But we know everyone won’t have a Donovan to help them. So we created this website that delivers week by week motivation and advice to help you feel like you have your own personal trainer by your side. You’ll hear from the people how have gone before you and successfully completed their Body-for-LIFE Challenge with amazing results. Here you will find the answers to any question you will have in the next few weeks.

That’s why we developed Start Today Fitness. We do NOT compete with Body-for-LIFE. Body-for-LIFE is at the core of everything we believe! Start Today Fitness was developed to HELP the millions of people all around the world every year who commit themselves to the Body-for-LIFE Challenge. Start Today Fitness was developed to help YOU.

Start Today Fitness will help you stick to your program through the entire 12 weeks. We will help you get the greatest results from your commitment.
