Author of Body for Life, Bill Phillips has a long history in the field of body building. An unsuccessful body builder, Bill Phillips found success with his magazine Muscle Media, a no-holds barred publication that included advice and information for those wanting to use steroids.

Bill Phillips subsequently became a partner in the best selling meal replacement supplement MET-Rx, and later acquired the supplement company Experimental and Applied Sciences (EAS).

In his Body for Life Programme he promotes high intensity training as a way to significantly increase your metabolic rate, enabling your body to burn fat and function more efficiently.

This is also a time efficient plan, replacing long cardio sessions with shorter, more intense weight training sessions.
