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.
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!
With Tremendous Respect!
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”!
Best of Life,
Sincerely,
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!

Questions and Answers
Tracy Jeffries
2002 Runner-Up
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: 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 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 and a swiss ball. 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 0800-666-444 or visit www.bodyforlife.com.
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 book,
www.bodyforlife.com, and for those participating in New Zealand, our
Body-for-LIFE Advisors, who you can call at 0800-666-444. The Body-forLIFE 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 all good bookstores or
online at www.eas.co.nz.
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 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.co.nz, or call us at
0800-666-444.
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
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.
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.

smart shopping tips
Grocery
While following Body-for-LIFE, your best bet is to plan all your meals for the
week and do all your shopping at once.
Produce
• Stock up - the more the better. Aim
for a variety of colors in your cart to
ensure a variety of nutrients.
• Try pre-washed, pre-cut veggies and
pre-bagged salads for quick snacks
and side dishes.
• Buy walnuts, almonds and other
nuts for a high-protein addition to a
meal or snack.
Dairy
• Skim milk and yogurt: choose lowfat (1 percent or 2 percent) or nonfat (skim) products.
• Cheese: sparingly use Parmesan or
tasty cheese for flavour, or choose
fat-free cheese, although it differs in
consistency and taste.
• Cottage cheese: choose low-fat or
non-fat (1 percent fat or fewer).
• Margarine: choose the lowest-fat
soft versions or liquid or spray
varieties.
• Fresh pastas: choose the lowerfat filled pastas like ravioli and
tortellini for a quick dinner; you can
also find these in the freezer section.
•B
read: choose whole-grain type, with
a whole-grain as the first ingredient
and 2 or more grams of fiber per slice.
Meat/Deli
Look for bagels, pita bread and
English muffins, but avoid higher-fat
bread products like muffins, croissants
and pastries.
• Beef: choose lean cuts like eye
fillet, sirloin and porter house
cuts. Look for 90 percent or 95
percent lean labels.
•C
ereals: choose whole-grain types
with at least 4 to 5 grams of fiber
and fewer than 10 grams of sugar per
serving.
• Chicken: buy skinless, or remove
the skin at home. Boneless,
skinless chicken breasts are fast
and easy to prepare, and many
deli sections offer pre-roasted
chicken as well.
•C
rackers: choose low-fat crackers and
whole-grain varieties.
•P
astas and rice: look for whole-grain
or whole-wheat versions.
• Turkey: remove the skin before
eating. Check the label on minced
turkey before buying—it’s usually
high in fat.
•C
anned soups: bean-based soups are
often good choices. Choose brothbased type soups like minestrone,
chicken noodle or chicken/rice and
vegetable, which are lower in fat than
• Pork: choose tenderloin or other
loin cuts.
cream-based soups. Look for lower
sodium varieties.
• Fruit and vegetable juices: Avoid
fruit juices which are very calorie
dense. Look for canned fruits (as your
carb portion) packed in their own
juice for less sugar and fewer calories
and lower-sodium versions of canned
vegetables.
• Canned chicken and tuna: choose
packed in water, not oil.
• Canned Italian tomatoes, tomato
paste, tomato sauce: these low-fat
sauces make whipping up a meal of
pasta a cinch.
• Peanut butter: choose a lower-fat or
natural style brand (pour off the oil) to
lower the fat content.
• Dried fruit: a great portable snack.
• Luncheon meats: choose meats
that are low in fat and sodium.
Read the labels on hot dogs and
sausages – most are high in fat.
• Fresh fish: most is low in fat.
Frozen Food
• Salads, pre-packaged sandwiches
and other convenience foods:
you can pick up a quick meal
at the store’s deli, but look for
lower-fat, high protein versions
and avoid mayonnaise-heavy
dressings.
•“
Microwave meals” and frozen entrees: choose those that are low in sodium and fat
per serve.
•F
rozen potatoes and frozen vegetables: check the salt content.
•F
rozen fruit like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries: look for fruit-only
versions—they’re great for quick smoothies and add EAS Myoplex to customise your
shakes.
•F
rozen stir-fry rice or pasta and veggies: look for low-sodium varieties.
•F
rozen desserts: look for fruit-juice bars, frozen fruit, sorbet, frozen yogurt and
low-fat ice cream.

high-intensity cardio
exercise
Where Level 10 is maximum intensity
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) Minutes 20 cool down to Intensity Level 5 for one minute.
Body-for-LIFE training techniques are based on universal principles that have already
produced breakthroughs in tens of thousands of people.
Countless studies show that high-intensity training burns fat more effectively than lowintensity exercise, plus the addition of strength-training exercise allows you to not only
increase your metabolic rate, but change the actual shape of your body. This is why Bodyfor-LIFE’s combination of targeted strength-training workouts and high-intensity cardio
workouts is so effective.
10
4) Where level 10 is maxiumum intensity: Select one exercise for each muscle
group and do five sets, starting with a set of 12 reps (level 5), then increasing the
weight and doing 10 reps (level 6), adding more weight and doing 8 reps (level 7),
adding more weight for 6 reps
(level 8). Then reduce the weight, do 12 more reps (level 9), and immediately go
to another set of 12 reps (level 10) of another exercise for that muscle group.

Do you know when you’ve reached your High-Point?
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 0.8),
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 can’t take another step or lift another rep,
congratulations, you’ve just hit Level 10. Hold on for another 60 seconds and finish with
an easy cool down.
6) Always plan your training beforehand.

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

Helpful tips for winning photos
Clothing
• 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
• Please stand with your arms at your sides in the “before” and “after” photos. No posing, please!
• 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 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.
Andrew Crouch
Before and After Photos
On the following pages 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 Regulations
The New Zealand Body-for-LIFE® 2008 Challenge (“2008 Challenge”) is a New Zealand self-improvement Challenge combining a body
transformation, written questions and an essay. 2008 Challenge will be conducted amongst residents of New Zealand only who must be 18 years
and over.
Timelines and Deadlines
Challenge participants may enter 2008 Challenge more than once. However, each Challenge participant must complete a full consecutive 12-week
program (“12-week Program”)in order to be eligible to win and before entering into another Challenge round. If submitting more than one Official
Entry Kit (downloadable at www.eas.co.nz), the dates of the 12-week Program to which each Official Entry Kit relates must NOT overlap with each
other. Challenge participants must send their completed Official Entry Kit, which must be in English, and postmarked or couriered within 15 days
of the completion date of their 12-week Program, by mail or express courier (Fed Ex, Courier Post, etc.) to: EAS New Zealand c/o 2008 Body-forLIFE® Challenge, Unit 2, 17 Arrenway Drive, Albany, Auckland, NZ. Incomplete, indecipherable and illegible entries will be deemed invalid. EAS

11:59 p.m. to be eligible. The Champions will be announced on January 19th 2009. The winners will be published on www.eas.co.nz at 10.00 a.m.
and notified in writing.
How You Will Be Judged
The New Zealand Body-for-LIFE® 2008 Challenge judges will select the Champions for the 2008 Challenge from all completed entries received by
EAS New Zealand. Judging will be based on the following criteria: outer transformation (before and after pictures) – 50% of total score, and inner
transformation (essay and questions) – 50% of total score. The 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. In the event of a tie, tied entries will be scored solely on the inner transformation
essay and questions. All winners are responsible for all applicable taxes; prizes are not transferable; and there will be no substitutions for the prizes
except at the option of EAS in the event of unavailability. All winners must sign a declaration and release form confirming compliance with the
contest rules, acceptance of the prize as awarded and releasing EAS and its affiliates, its advertising and promotion agencies, the contest judges and
their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from any liability in connection with 2008 Challenge, the entrant’s
participation therein and/or the awarding and use of the prize or any portion thereof. The Grand Champion will be asked to become an exclusive
endorser for EAS and Body-for-LIFE® and related products and services and enter into a two-year exclusive endorsement agreement with EAS/
Body-for-LIFE®.

the same program. Prize values stated approximate the recommended retail value as provided by the supplier(s) and are correct at time of printing.
