Life from a Position of Strength
Join with me and thousands of fellow achievers in SUCCESS magazine’s 90-Day FIT for SUCCESS Challenge. You will enjoy greater energy, renewed health, a clearer mind, more time and more freedom in every area of life. You’ll get more done in less time than ever. You will probably take a few inches off here and there, add a few new contours to that body and feel more in control of your life than you’ve felt in years!
Simply register
The program will run from June 1 to Aug. 28. The program will be interactive, and participants can share their stories, challenges and triumphs. You’ll get the support and camaraderie of being involved in a team challenge. At the end of the program, SUCCESS will select the most successful participants and feature their stories in the magazine and online at SUCCESS.com.

Shawn PhillipsIt’s a common misconception that strength training leads to fuller, stronger muscles. While it’s true that training is the stimulus for growth, it’s actually the recovery and proper nourishment immediately following your training that fuel your muscles, energy and strength.
Intense training leaves your muscles screaming for vital nutrients necessary for rebuilding your body stronger. Yet, [...] - Questions, Answers & an Exclusive New Challenging Exercise

Shawn PhillipsWhat HIIT Can Do for Your Performance at the Gym, at Work and in Life
Whether it’s running the road, spinning in a gym or kicking it up to a rhythmic beat, when doing cardio, the arms and legs are in motion and sweat is pouring, which must mean calories are burning and fat is dissolving. [...] - The Space between the Notes: Words of Wisdom for Fitness, Work and Life
Shawn PhillipsMultitasking has become so pervasive in our culture that even when people show up at the gym (or at work or everyday relationships), they bring their mental static with them—their minds are all over the place. Instead of focusing on training (or the task at hand or the conversation taking place), they’re thinking about what [...]
- Start Strong: Eating Breakfast Is a Recipe for Success
Shawn PhillipsWhat if you went 12, 14 or even 16 hours without eating? You’d be starving, cranky, exhausted and unable to think straight, all while your metabolism slowed to conserve energy. To make matters worse, your body would be stockpiling as much fat as possible. More ready for hibernation than battle, the last thing you’d want [...]

Shawn PhillipsThe 7 Wonders of Strength
1. Muscle Is the Engine of Youth
Biological aging and the loss of functional strength have less to do with your chronological age than they do with time spent training and engaging the body for physical growth and development.

Shawn PhillipsWith the Fourth of July holiday almost upon us, many of us will have food on our minds. It’s a great day for sharing delicious—if not necessarily nutritious—food with family and friends.

Question from Schoenburg
Are the nutrition guidelines for the 12 weeks after base camp different than the [...] - 5 Circles beats 3 Squares
Shawn PhillipsAmericans have, by and large, distorted the golden rule of three square meals a day beyond recognition.
We skip breakfast, eat quick lunches, slug down coffee or energy drinks, snack throughout the day to compensate for the poor start, and then consume more than half of our daily calories in one meal: dinner.
This is a perfect [...] - The Weekly Training Schedule
Shawn PhillipsThis week kick’s-off your Training Camp. For the next 12 weeks you follow the same weekly rhythm.

Shawn PhillipsYet, Americans continue to pack on the pounds, and I believe I may have uncovered the cause. So I have a slightly different message to offer: Stop exercising!
- Forging Your Strength for Life
Shawn PhillipsIt’s time to begin the noble climb from out of the ordinary to the heights of extra-ordinary—an elevation few choose to pursue in their lifetimes.
Take the next six days to complete your preparation in Base Camp so that you’ll be rested and ready to enter your 12 weeks—only 84 days—of training.
- Rest, Renew, Reboot
Shawn PhillipsWould you climb Mount Everest without an acclimation period? Of course not.
The same way, you shouldn’t start a training program without a period of time to renew, reset and reboot your body to prepare for a rigorous and challenging transformation.
Many people get real geared up when I say the worst time to start a fitness [...] - Your Blueprint for Brilliance: Setting Your Vision and Goals

Shawn PhillipsWhether you’re tall, short, thin, curvy or stout—whatever shape you see in the mirror—the shape your life will likely take on is much the same as every other. It rises up, arcs over and slides back down.
