Peak Performance.....We’ve got exactly what you need…

What could be easier than a delicious meal-in-a-glass crammed with macro and micro nutrients, plus a tasty bar packed with protein and high-tech supplements during the day, to top up your Fuel Tank? It sounds so simple, yet these specialised products have undergone years ongoing research and development resulting in the perfect sports nutrition package.

For all levels of active people, Herbalife can be used to fuel, refuel, repair and help with recovery.

FUELLING
Thirty minutes before work out use Thermojetic Formula1 Protein Drink Mix, diluted in fruit juice. It provides immediate fuel (carbohydrates) and helps spare the stored fuel in muscles (muscle Glycogen).

HYDRATING
During training, competition and your workout, drink fluid – at least every 15 minutes. Suggestions: drink water with Herbal Aloe Drink. Consume water with a very weak solution of Formula 1. Enjoy Thermojetics Herbal Concentrate as often as desired.

REFUELLING
Within the first 30 minutes of workout, drink Thermojetic Formula 1 mixed in juice.

REPAIRING
Drink Formula 1 mixed in a protein-rich beverage (cow’s milk, soy milk or yoghurt) or eat a Thermojetics Protein Bar. For added protein, mix Thermojetics Performance Protein Powder in a Formula 1 shake.

RECOVERY
Take a combination of Herbalife antioxidant products including Herbalifeline, RoseOx, Schizandra Plus as well as a Formula 1 shake.

ADDITIONS
Do ensure you are getting and absorbing the proper amount of vitamins and minerals, include Formula 2 Multivitamin-Mineral & Herbal tablets and Cell Activator in your diet.

Remember, during warm-ups and after exercise has finished, it is vital to stretch and cool down to assist in the recovery and repairing process.

Want to perform at our absolute best and stay on the winning team? All you have to do is count to 10! Follow the 10 suggestions below and get ready to improve your performance on and off the playing field.

Muscles = Fuel Tanks
Rapid response fuel is stored carbohydrates (muscle glycogen). Eat carbohydrate-rich foods before exercise to slow down drain on you fuel tanks

Optimum Time to Top-up with Carbohydrates
Large meal 4-6 hours before activity
Lighter meal 2-3 hour before activity
Snack Up to one hour before activity

Keep Your Fuel Topped Up
For long duration activities (60 minutes plus), drink fluids with a weak solution of simple carbohydrates

Make Use of Your Reserve Fuel Tank
Stored body fat = fuel for long-haul event (although we have a potentially unlimited supply of fuel from stored fat, we can only burn fat as a fuel when combined with carbohydrates)

The Importance of Fluid
Drink fluid at least every 15 minutes. Do not wait until you are thirsty

Protein for Muscle Maintenance and Muscle Growth
You need 1.25 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight (1.50 grams/kg for tennis)

Proteins vs Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates = instant fuel for the muscles. Protein repairs damaged muscles, maintains muscle mass and increase girth

Best Time to Refuel the Tanks (muscles)
Within 30 minutes of ending exercise, take in easily digestible carbohydrates, which will be converted to glucose and stored as glycogen (quick fuel)

Reducing Recovery Time
Increase antioxidant nutrients. Ensure adequate supplies of protein

Supplementation
Multivitamin and mineral supplement assists the body’s chemical reactions, regulatory processes, and forms structures important for athletes who may be susceptible to decreased immune systems due to excessive physical exertion
