Speed Skating Training

I skated for Australia in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. I am also a member of the Olympic Winter Institute and Australian Institute of Sport and have a very heavy training schedule throughout the season. I was having problems with lack of stamina during endurance events and having long periods of tiredness during my training year. This was until I discovered Herbalife products.

It immediately boosted my energy, improved my endurance and helped with recovery from hard sessions on the ice. I would wake up the next day revitalized and with no sign of fatigue or soreness. This was exactly what I needed in my diet and was an amazing discovery as I eat all the right things and never suspected that I was lacking in nutrition, but Herbalife proved me wrong.

Believe it or not that very first day I went on the cellular nutrition program I had results straight away. I posted an endurance training record which I would not usually be strong in. This was a surprise to me but not after a day or so of breaking many training records, this was becoming a trend. And one I liked too. This continued all the way through to the World Championships in Poland. In Poland I was setting myself a goal of a top 20 result. This was well and truly achieved when in my 500m I beat one of my arch rivals to come in 15th place. This made my day, my year and most of all it impressed my coach.

Since, I have noticed amazing drops in my heart rate after intense exercise. I went from 205 to 156 bpm in 1 min and then down to 128 within 3 mins and that is impressive. They say that in sport the first 90% of improvement comes pretty quickly but then you have to spend years refining the last 10%. Well I believe I have just found an extra few percent with Herbalife!
