From Kris Gethin, Editor-in-Chief of the online fitness phenomenon Bodybuilding.com comes a revolutionary 12-week diet and exercise program-backed by two million members and thousands of real-life success stories. Body By Design: The Complete 12 Week Plan to Transform Your Body Forever begins from the inside out, starting with the very thoughts in your head and working its way to the muscles on your body and the food on your plate.
The core of the Body by Design plan is motivation - the single greatest factor in achieving health and fitness goals. Gethin shares the powerful research proving that willpower isn't a fixed trait, but something that can be learned by creating a supportive environment - a fact he knows well from personal experience and from the success of the nearly 700,000 people who find the tools and the "team" they need on BodySpace, the world's largest social fitness network.
"I never liked to call it a diet because I guess in the past, all of the other 'fad diets' never worked for me. After going on a 'diet,' I gained all the weight back I had lost, and usually more. I am sure so many others out there can relate to that. So, I needed to make a complete 360 degree revolutionary lifestyle change," explains Amy Barnes, one of the 690,000 people who inspired Body by Design.
The 12-week exercise and diet plan in Body by Design provides sure-fire success strategies including The Four
Pillars of Power:
Burn and Build Bridges: Our social circles can be powerful - for good or for bad. Take a close look at the people you are spending time with and minimize negative influences while expanding on positive ones.
Live Out Loud: Learn the power of public goals. Take the first step toward reaching your goals by telling all of your friends where you're headed.
Get Radical: Radical accountability picks up where goal setting left off. Track the details of how much you're exercising and what you're eating to stay on track. Seek out "friendly feedback" on BodySpace or from trusted individuals in your immediate environments like the home or office.
How, Not What: Life doesn't exist in a vacuum. To make resolutions stick, learn strategies for maintaining the program in the real world by anticipating obstacles and tackling potential road blocks.
Men and women, young adults to seniors, fitness novices to committed athletes - people of every age and lifestyle have tapped into the resources and support system found online at BodySpace and have shared their success stories in Body by Design.
