Wellness is the central trend for the coming decades
Both from corporate backgrounds. Andrew was a Financial Engineer and Vicki was a Regional Sales Manager. They were rarely at home; travelling 50 to 60 000 miles per year; away in hotels; and taking on more work and stressed. 80 to 100 hours per week was their norm. A near death accident one night, when Vicki fell asleep at the wheel made them take stock of life and what they wanted. Vicki re-trained in nutrition; became a fitness instructor and bought a fitness franchise and ran this for 5 years until she sold up. Andrew went into a business venture that went horribly wrong, leaving him bankrupt and unwell as a result of stress.
It was a Sunday afternoon in  at a local event in a neighbouring village that Herbalife found Vicki. �We  completed a survey. Vicki ended up going to a business opportunity meeting, with a very sceptical husband! �I wanted to look closely at the products, because I won�t ask anybody to do something I haven�t used myself. I lost 8 lb in 3 weeks, I didn�t really need to, and Andrew lost 10lb. The structure of the programme made sense to me, as well as good nutritional ingredients.� I went to a higher level meeting to meet other established people and thought� �If they can do it, then so can I� �After 3 � months I couldn�t cope doing 2 jobs�.the Herbalife business was growing, and I had to make a decision - Herbalife won and I went full time. 6 years on �We have a business that we are in control of. We are able to work from home; we save hours of commuting and wasted time, nobody can make us redundant or fire us. It�s a simple business that we can take anywhere in the world. In time it will also become our pension and will allow Andrew to work full time with me too, so redundancy will no longer be a concern.�
Setting the pace with Herbalife! Martin is 45 years old, he lives in Lincoln with his wife Tracey and he has been a Police Officer for 27 years. His interest in Herbalife Products came from his love of sports. He has been a Physical Training Instructor for 12 years and a Senior Coach with UK Athletics for 14 years� "My age was hampering my recovery time." "I love most Sports but in particular I love Fell and Mountain running. Most weekends, I participate in some type of race or event, however over the years I'd found it increasingly difficult to run or even jog the day after a hard race - this was very frustrating." "I'd never used any Sports Nutrition supplements and I didn't expect much�" "In October 2001, Tracey had heard about a business opportunity with Herbalife and asked me to go along with her to a meeting. Tracey decided to give the business a try and I decided to test out these products personally�I was amazed by the results!"
"My form was like that of a 25 year old!" "I started using Formula 1 for fuelling, before, during and after exercise and found that feeling of energy improved dramatically and, my recovery particularly after longer races, seemed to be enhanced. I could run two hard fell races in three days and still run the following day! I hadn't been able to do this since my twenties!" "The secrets of my success!" "I started taking other Herbalife products to see if these would help too. About one hour prior to exercise or an event, I took a Thermojetics Beverage. Then approximately quarter of an hour before the start I would take a Formula 1 shake, I would also use the Herbal Aloe Drink to ensure that I was properly hydrated. During the race I would have a very weak Formula 1 shake and drink small amounts every 20-30 mins, or I would take a Thermojetics Beverage; 1 teaspoon per litre, to make it Isotonic so that it is absorbed quickly into the body. Immediately after exercise I would have another litre of normal strength Formula 1 and I'd also take 1 RoseOx and a Protein Bar. I do this before any warm down or shower. Finally about two hours after exercise I would have another Shake and I would also add 2-4 spoonfuls of Personalised Protein Powder. I also eat the Protein Bars after exercise." "I'm looking forward to my next 45 years racing!" "The difference that this has made to my form is amazing. I have taken my running back to the point it was about 10 years ago and I can train everyday even after an event. In 2002 my race results showed no loss of form or time, despite a lack of training due to work commitments and my advancing years! I cannot recommend Herbalife products enough to people. To me they have given me back the energy that was slipping away. I am now looking forward to my next 45 years of fell running!"
