All you need to do to secure your chance at US$1,000,000…

Looking at your “Before” photos offers a vivid reminder of where you’ve been and is a powerful motivator to keep you going; that’s why taking your photos is your first step in the US$1,000,000 Body-for-LIFE Challenge. What better way to take a good look at the shape you’re in and get motivated to change the shape of things to come? It’s also smart to record your weight, body fat percentage, waist or dress size—any personal statistic that’s meaningful to you. As you proceed, you can use these benchmarks to track your progress and stay motivated.

Next, read through this packet thoroughly for tips for success in your transformation:

Get going … and keep going!

The real beginning of your Challenge is the start of your exercise and nutrition programs. There’s no getting around it—it’s tough to change a lifetime of bad habits and inconsistency.

Questions and Answers about the Body-for-LIFE Challenge

What is the Challenge all about?

When EAS created the Challenge concept and held our first event 10 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 as the world’s most prestigious fitness championship. 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.

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

We recommend these sources of information: Body-for-LIFE Book by Bill Phillips, www.bodyforlife.com, or call our Body-for-LIFE Advisors on (NZ) 0800 666 444, (AUS) 1800 263 937. 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.

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

Yes!

I’m not sure if I will be able to reach my goal in 12 weeks.

Can I enter more than once?

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.

Do I have to keep track of my weight or body fat percentage to officially compete in the Challenge?

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!

Do I have to use nutritional supplements to officially compete in the EAS Body-for-LIFE Challenge?

No. You are not required to use EAS nutritional supplements to compete in the Challenge, but we do encourage Competitors to use EAS supplements. If you are determined to make a remarkable transformation in only 12 weeks, you are going to need to nourish your body daily, with quality protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and with the other important micronutrients your body needs to recover from your intense exercise sessions. Achieving your transformation goal without supplements is difficult, particularly in a short period of time.

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?

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.

Before and After Photos

On pages 11 and 14 of the Official Competitor Guide, 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.

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

• Swimsuits or shorts 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.

• Please submit 3x5 or 4x6 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 to promote its business even if you are not selected as Champion.
