The
Body Sculpting Bible
series has been around for over 11 years now. That’s an extraordinary length of time for a fitness book series. Most fitness books only last a year or two in the marketplace, if they even last that long.

So why have our books survived the test of time, and even flourished, when others seem to just disappear? Here are a few reasons why the
Body Sculpting Bible
series has differed from other fitness books:

THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY & HOW

•
Who are the Creators:
James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera have been in the fitness industry and lifted in the trenches for a combined amount of over 40 years. They walk the talk and play the part.

•
What are They Most Recognized For:
The essence of the
Body Sculpting Bible
books is the underlying original 14-Day Body Sculpting Program—one of the very first periodized weight training programs for the mainstream fitness enthusiast. These systems utilize a logically arranged ‘muscle confusion’ approach that yields the fastest and most consistent long-term body composition results possible.

•
When Were the Books First Created:
Back in 1998, the authors just happened to meet in Florida while working out separately. They started talking and two years later, they had developed this best-selling fitness book series.

•
Where:
James and Hugo spent over one year writing the books and accomplished the collaborative work by way of phone and Internet.

•
Why:
The authors had discovered that average people needed top-tier fitness information and more guidance to help them achieve their dream physiques.

•
How:
James and Hugo created step-by-step guidelines and a direct plan of action that anyone could follow, all based on scientific analysis. Much like a business plan, where everything is laid out for success, the
Body Sculpting Bible
books equip people with the means to achieve body sculpting perfection.

Why is it that the
Body Sculpting Bibles
have sold well over one million copies and are revered as one of the most successful fitness book franchises in history? Well, they’re solid books and provide a comprehensive, yet solid, plan of specific action steps to help you on your way. When we first set out, we offered one of the very first mainstream periodization programs called “The 14 Day Body Sculpting Program”. Many of our innovative training principles were initially considered radical, but they were quickly embraced by our readers and fans because they worked (and worked very well).

So, yes, the
Body Sculpting Bible
books have had wild success, but we are not sitting pretty. Yes, we’ve managed to help hundreds of thousands of average people just like you to shape up, gain confidence, preserve their youth, and improve many areas of their lives. But still, there are millions of people we still need to help.

We came to the realization that we needed to come back and refresh some of the material within the book. As time passes, things naturally change as new research is conducted and new science comes about. It is up to us, as fitness experts, to take the science, decipher it, and pass it on in a way that makes sense and is easy for you to understand.

So, with that said, we’re on a mission to help millions more people get up and get out of their own way. Get up off that couch, rid yourself of the fast food, do what most people won’t take the time to do, and let’s get you to a place of total body transformation and life empowerment.

Over the years, we have had to rely mostly on the books and e-mail to stay in communication with our fans. No longer do we each exist in a place where we are isolated in our homeland or limited to our own cities and close surroundings. The internet has allowed us to reach out and digitally shake hands with our global friends.

The new global approach of this latest edition was developed for two reasons. First, we want you to be an ambassador for fitness in your hometown. We want you to stand proud and represent where you’re from. Gather your local friends, family, co-workers, and anyone else and create a fitness force. With this book, we want you to lead your clan and build them up to extraordinary health and fitness levels. Together, we can combat fat, obliterate obesity, do-in diabetes, kill many cardiac problems, and take more control over our lives than ever before.

The second reason for this global approach is that, even though we have greater reach to the world than ever before, many of us still hide behind our computers. It’s time to reach out and tell the world who you are. We know the world is facing a lot of difficulties right now, and there is no better time to take a stand and refuse to give in to adversity. Today we are battling wars, a bullied economy, and the fight against obesity. The grim reality is that most people have not gotten healthier over the last decade. In fact, they have gotten even unhealthier! Perhaps this is partly a result of the negative things that are going on in the world at this time. Maybe the stress from everything that is happening has affected people and thus, they take comfort in food.

However, here is our advice to you: there is too much going on in the world that we have little or absolutely no control over. But here’s the great news: there are some things that we can control. We can control our ability to do our very best in building ourselves up, both inside and out, so that we create better outcomes for ourselves and for the people around us. When we build ourselves up both physically and emotionally, we empower ourselves and we place ourselves in a rare position that
allows us to have more control over many different things in our lives.

It is our hope that you will take advantage of this powerful opportunity by following our lead, and we promise to help you achieve many truly remarkable and life-altering changes.

Body Sculpting Bible
, decided to make a career out of fitness! While that may not be your goal, definitely don’t be shy in sharing your expertise as just a simple word of encouragement can make a huge difference in the life of someone who could use a helping hand.

We look forward to working with all of you as we continue to improve our bodies (and lives). We are so excited to be connecting with new people throughout the world and together we can have a huge impact on global health!

Best Always,

James & Hugo
