I cannot believe it has been 11 years since I accepted the 1997 Body-for-LIFE Challenge™, but it has…11 years of improved health, more energy, much greater focus and an excitement to face each new day. The desire, knowledge and ability to accomplish all this these past 11 years has never faded. This is your opportunity to join us for the next 11 years!

As you hold this packet, you are exactly where so many others have been before you. We were all at our lowest and most desperate point desiring

to break the chains that held us there. It can and will be done. You can do this and we will climb every step of the way with you. Someone believed in me in 1997 and today I believe in you. The next 84 days will pass, then the next 84 and the next 84 until the year has passed. Then 5 years will pass and then 10 and soon it will be another 11. Where will you be in 84 days or in 11 years? That is entirely up to you.

My prayer this New Year is that you have joined the Body-for-LIFE community and taken control of YOUR LIFE...it is the most important thing you have, so don’t waste it. Call us, e-mail us, read the books, visit the website, talk to someone who has made the improvements you want. We will not leave you to go it alone. Do it for yourself, or do it for the people you love or the ones who love you; but whatever the reason, haul off today and turn your Life around. You can, you will…today is the day!

With Tremendous Respect!

Best of Life,

G. Porter Freeman1997 Champion

If you are picking up this Body-for-LIFE Challenge™ Guide and reading it for the first time or the 15th time, then I say to you “welcome” and glad you are on board! Regardless of what you have done or not done in the past, I urge you to take on the 2008 Body-for-LIFE Challenge with a renewed outlook for your future and the mindset of a true champion! I am so thankful that this challenge mistakenly fell into my lap ten years ago. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had not

taken the chance to grab the opportunity when it presented itself. Where do you want to be in ten years, ten months, ten weeks? It is no mistake you are holding the 2008 Body-for-LIFE kit in your hands right now and giving it your serious consideration!

Yes, this is real! And you have nothing to lose! I know you have 10 reasons why you cannot do it, but I guarantee that you can come up with 20 reasons why you should! It is gut-check time--time to take a hard look at the truth. Are you the BEST you can be? Are you truly happy? Prove to yourself, and anyone else who may be watching, that you can be better and do better. Please do not ignore that inner voice nudging you right now. Jump in with us – we’ll enjoy this life-changing journey together! It is no fluke that thousands of people – including me – have transformed their bodies with the Body-for-LIFE program. You have a supportive Body-for-LIFE community right at your fingertips – now let’s get to work! Have fun and “lift to tell”!

Sincerely,

Kelly Adair1998 Champion

Q: What is the Challenge all about?

A: When EAS created the Challenge concept and held our first event 13 years 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 we’ve 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 signifies much more than building a better body… the Challenge is a celebration of what is best about the human spirit. It’s about the growth and goodness we can all experience when we harness our untapped potential to change—to move forward and improve all aspects of our lives.

Q: I would like to accept the Challenge, but I don’t know much about nutrition and training. Where can I learn more?

A: We recommend these sources of information: Body-for-LIFE by Bill Phillips, 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 book is extremely comprehensive and easy to read. It will teach you how to build muscle and burn fat fast through an integrated approach to training and nutrition. Body-for-LIFE also contains 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 is available at booksellers everywhere.

Q: I have accepted your Challenge in the past, but didn’t make it all 12 weeks. Can I enter again?

A: Yes!

Q: I’m not sure if I will be able to reach my goal in 12 weeks. Can I enter more than once?

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.

Questions and Answers about the Body-for-LIFE® Challenge Q: Do I have to keep track of my weight or body fat percentage

to officially compete in the Challenge?

A: 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 find that dress size is a meaningful indicator; whereas many men find 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!

Q: I don’t belong to a gym. How can I get started on the training portion of the Challenge?

A: The great thing about Body-for-LIFE is that you don’t 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: Do I have to use EAS® products to officially compete in the Body-for-LIFE Challenge?

A: You must use at least one EAS product during your Challenge. EAS product lines 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.

Q: I’ve 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?

A: 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 definition more clearly.

NutritionNutrition

Balanced nutrition is the key with Body-for-LIFE. Feed your body a combination of protein and carbohydrates every few hours to ensure proper recovery from workouts and optimal energy levels throughout the day. For best results, eat five to six “portion correct” meals each day. A portion is the size of your clenched fist or open palm of your hand.

How to create a Body-for-LIFE meal:

1) Protein. Choose a portion of lean protein, such as chicken breast, ground turkey, fish or steak. (Size of an open palm)

2) Carbohydrates. Choose a portion of complex carbohydrates, such as a small baked potato, sweet potato, a ½ cup of brown rice or a slice of whole-wheat bread. (Size of a clenched fist)

3) Vegetables. Add a portion of vegetables to at least two meals each day.

4) Essential fats. Consume one tablespoon of unsaturated oil daily or three portions of salmon per week.

5) Water. Drink at least 10 glasses of water each day.

Quick Tip: A portion is the size of the palm of your hand or closed fist.

Quick Tip: For best results, plan your meals in advance and record what you eat in a journal.

ExerciseExercise

The training techniques on Body-for-LIFE are based on universal principles that have already produced breakthroughs in tens of thousands of people. This program is precise and focused to help you enhance your energy and clarity, enabling you to fit more into your personal and professional life.

Strength-training exercise helps you not only increase your lean body mass and metabolic rate, and with cardio exercise, can also help change the way you look and feel. This is why Body-for-LIFE’s combination of targeted strength-training workouts and high-intensity cardio workouts can be effective.

Strength-Training Exercise GuidelinesBeforeyoubegin,hereareafewguidelinestokeepinmind:

• Strengthtrainintensely,threetimesperweek. On alternating days, perform cardio exercise, three times a week.

• Alternatetrainingthemajormusclesofthe upper and lower body on separate workout days.

• Performtwoexercisesforeachmajormuscle group.

• Selectoneexerciseforeachmusclegroupand 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.

• Foreachmusclegroup,restforoneminute 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.

• Alwaysplanyourtrainingbeforehand.

1. Warm up the first 2 minutes at Intensity Level 5

2. Minutes 2-3 move from Intensity Level 5 to 6

3. Minutes 3-6, 7-10 and 11-14 work your way from Intensity Level 6 to Level 9, maintain for one minute.

4. Minutes 15-19 work your way from Intensity Level 6 to Level 10 (High Point at Level 10), maintain for one minute.

5. Minute 20 cool down to Intensity Level 5 for one minute.

Do You Know When You’ve Reached Your High-Point?

Quick Tip: For your cardio workouts, try running,bicycling,swimming—anythingtocrank up your heart rate.

QUICK TIP: Alternate weight-training and cardio workouts for six consecutive days and rest on the seventh day.

1. If you can read a magazine while on the treadmill, you’re 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 haven’t 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 can’t take a few more steps, or lift another couple of reps, congratulations, you’ve just hit level 10. Hold on for another 60 seconds and finish with an easy cool down.

Helpful tips for winning photosClothing• Please wear the same type of clothing in the “before” and “after” photos.

• Swimsuits, shorts, or exercise clothes are preferred.

• Please remember that if you are covering up parts of your body it will be difficult to show your progress.

• Do not cover your legs with long shorts or “cut” them out of the photo.

Photos• Professional photographs are not necessary, but remember, this is the only way we can see your

transformation, so good, clear photos are essential.

• Try taking them outside in either the morning or the late evening (when the sun is low), as the light is generally better for photos at that time.

• Take your photos against a plain background.

• To ensure that your before photos turn out, DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO GET THEM PROCESSED!

• Please submit 3”x 5” or 4”x 6” photos.

• 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 fill the photograph with yourself. If you stand too far away it may be hard to see your great results.

• Copyrighted photos will not be accepted unless a signed release of use to EAS® from the photographer is attached to the packet. All photos become the property of EAS and will not be returned. Please have duplicates made and keep a copy of these photos. Do not send in negatives—please hang on to them and do not lose them. Your photos may be used by EAS even if you are not selected as a Champion.

Before and After Photos

On pages 21 through 24 of the Official Competitor Kit, you’ll find space to affix your “before” and “after” photos. Please include the four required photos (two “before” and two “after”—each showing both front and back views), plus an optional photo of your choice. Your “before” photos must be taken within three days of beginning the Challenge. Your “after” photos must be taken within three days of finishing the Challenge. 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. We recommend attaching your photos to the packet using double-sided tape.

Official Rules And RegulationsThe Body-for-LIFE Challenge 2008 is a self-improvement Challenge combining a body transformation and written questions. The Body-for-LIFE Challenge 2008 will be conducted in the United States and only residents of the United States are eligible to compete for the prizes mentioned in this kit on page 2. Many International EAS-Authorized Distributors conduct their own Challenges. All International Challenge participants need to contact their EAS-Authorized Distributors for all International Body-for-LIFE Challenge details. Only EAS-Authorized Distributors (listed at www.eas.com) may conduct Challenges.

Timelines and DeadlinesTo enter, obtain an Official Entry Kit. Complete the information requested on pages 3 and 4. Please include your “before” and “after” pictures on pages 21-24. Additionally, on pages 26-28, tell us your story of what your inner transformation means to you. All essays must be your unpublished, original story, written in English. Entries must be on official entry forms. Incomplete entries will be disqualified. No mechanically reproduced entries permitted. Challenge participants may enter the Body-for-LIFE Challenge 2008 more than once. However, each Challenge participant must complete a full 12-week Challenge in order to be eligible to win and before entering the next Challenge round. If submitting more than one Official Competitor Kit, the dates of the 12-week Challenges must NOT overlap. Champions will be announced by or before January 31, 2009 on www.bodyforlife.com, or send a separate, self-addressed, stamped business size envelope, to be received by February 28, 2009 to BFL Winners List, 625 Cleveland Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215.

How You Will Be JudgedThe Body-for-LIFE Challenge 2008 team will select one Champion from each Category listed on page 4 of this booklet from all completed entries received by EAS. The Body-for-LIFE Challenge 2008 team will judge all entries. Judging will be based on the following criteria: outer transformation (“before” and “after” pictures)—50%, inner transformation (essay and questions)—50%. Eight Category Champions will be selected on the previous criteria. In addition, two (2) overall Grand Master Champions will be selected—who is, in addition to the previous criteria, determined by the judges to best represent Body-for-LIFE. Likelihood of winning depends upon the number of entries received, and the quality of your entry compared to the quality of all other entry submissions as determined by the judges. In the event of a tie, tied entries will be scored based solely on the inner transformation essay and questions. Potential Champions will be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility/release of liability and a publicity release within 5 business days of attempted delivery of same. Affidavit must certify participant’s eligibility, that participant’s essay submission and “before” and “after” photos are original, that participant holds all rights to the submission, that submission has not been previously been published, has not won a previous prize or award and that the participant has followed the rules of the Body-for-LIFE Challenge 2008. Affidavit package will be sent via express delivery. Failure to timely comply with all requirements, including the 5-day time period, or return of any prize notification as undeliverable will result in disqualification and an alternate potential Champion will be selected. Champions will be notified by phone/mail. Champions may be asked to attend an EAS-sponsored event.
