Body for Life

This program focuses on peoples’ competitive nature to partake in the challenge. The aim is for this to motivate users to stick to their diets and perform their exercises in order to create weight loss. The website offers tips on how to maintain a healthy diet and also tips on what workouts to do.

Users of Body for Life are required to keep track of their progress online, this is needed to not only show current improvement but to also determine the winner. New members may only sign up for this program once the current 12-week cycle is complete, and users are encouraged to enter the challenge more then once.

While this program does suggest tips on how to create healthy diets and a workout routine, it does not create complete programs for their members as many other plans do. Also, personal goals must be created by the dieter and not Body For Life. Due to these two factors, this program may be difficult for those who are not accustomed to fitness and healthy eating already, as they will be unaware of how to avoid traps and pitfalls.

The entire program of Body for Life depends upon the competitive nature of its members. Since, this program does not offer much guidance when it comes to diet and exercise; it relies on clients to motivate themselves to figure out a sufficient program on their own. Users who are very competitive may do well, but users who lack an aggressive spirit may not like the atmosphere of this diet plan.

Also, since the challenges run on a 12-week basis new members cannot sign up until the current challenge is complete. This could be frustrating for individuals who wish to start their program straight away. Those who are patient may not mind the wait.

Overall, Body for Life does put some fun into their program. Users may enjoy the camaraderie of the other users they are competing against, while conversing on the blogs. This program does lack the proper guidance and direction which many dieters require from a weight loss plan, so individuals who are not extremely motivated or competitive in nature may not do well with this program.
