Herbalife HappeningsH

The Herbalife Shake Mobile is on site and ready to sample

The 24-foot trailer, designed and developed by our corporate alliance team, is stocked with a refrigerator, one freezer, blenders and lots of space for our delicious Formula 1 Shake Mix. It’s also equipped to carry data-collection kiosks, a flat screen monitor, Wi-Fi, tents, product display cases, posters of our products and sponsored-athletes, and so much more.

The popular mobile unit made its prominent debut at the 2009 Amgen Tour of California, shaking up all nine cities of the tour. Since then, it has traveled to several LA Galaxy games, IndyCar racing events, an AYSO soccer tournament and numerous Distributor events. Look for it next at the North America Extravaganza in Atlanta.

The Herbalife Shake Mobile was conceived with a few important goals in mind: • To sample our #1 product, Formula 1 Shakes in a

safe environment• To service Distributors anywhere in the United States• To create a branding experience that is both innovative

and customizable to the event and its attendees

So whether it’s for a quick stop at a Nutrition Club, or for a three-day stay at an Indy500 event, the Herbalife Shake Mobile is up to the task.

The AYSO name, marks and all associate trademarks and logotypes are owned by the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO).

What steps can we take to avoid and/or reverse skin damage?Fundamentally,skincareispropernutritionfortheskin–cleansing,moisturizingandusingSPF,whicharethenecessarycomponents that everyone knows. Adding a daily infusion of key vitamins, minerals and other nutritious elements, which is what our company’s skincare line is designed to do, nurtures this very special organ at an even higher level.

Employees in Russia Help Change People’s Lives Since1989,theUdelnayaOrphanageinMoscow,Russia,hasprovidedanumberofservices,shelterand support to abandoned children. The organization’s extraordinary commitment to helping children in need made Udelnaya a natural candidate to join Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), becoming the location of HFF’s Casa Herbalife program in Russia. Since the Casa Herbalife program launch in 2007,HerbalifestaffandDistributorsintheregionhaveformedunbreakablebondswiththechildrenwho call Udelnaya home.

Our team in Russia has enjoyed numerous holidays, outings and informal visits with the children; they bring gifts, nutritious treats and huge doses of love along with them. The dedication of our staff members in Russia has inspired independent fundraising and increased participation amongst the Distributors in the region, so much so that Russia is now one of few, select countries that support two HFF Casa Herbalife programs.

Everyone has pitched in to make the Casa Herbalife programs in Russia a huge success. Our informationtechnology(IT)teammembershavetaughtthechildrenabouttheInternet–evenraisingfundstoinstallInternetservicelinesintheorphanagesothatcommunicationwiththechildrenisnotlimitedtoface-to-facevisits.Staffmemberswithapassionfordanceandtheaterhaveconductedlessons and performed at the orphanage. Staff members have collected regular, small contributions amongst themselves to afford trips to the movies for the teenagers, and help those becoming independent to purchase necessities for their new homes outside of Udelnaya.

Our colleagues in Russia know the true meaning of charity, and they are committed to making their community a better place to live and work. Together, we are changing children’s lives.

From the ExpertH Luigi Gratton, M.P. H., Vice President of Medical Affairs and Education

When it comes to working out, we often hear conflicting opinions about how to achieve optimum results. Luigi Gratton, vice president of medical affairs and education, answers some of the most commonly asked workout questions.

DO WE LOSE MUSCLE AS WE AGE? IF SO, CAN THAT BE PREVENTED?As we age, we naturally lose muscle. Starting at about age 30, we lose three percent of our total muscle mass every 10years.Exercisingandsufficientdailyproteinintakehelpstoslowthisprocess.

IS IT BETTER TO WORK OUT IN THE MORNING OR AT NIGHT?It’sbesttoworkoutwhenyouaremostrealisticallyinclinedtodoso.Morethananything,Ithinkitcomesdowntopersonal preference and schedule. Whatever you decide, try to form a habit and maintain it. Some prefer to exercise in the morning rather than after a hard day’s work. Plus, exercising at night can keep you awake due to the burst of energy you often get after a good workout.

WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT, CARDIO OR STRENGTH TRAINING? SHOULD I DO ONE BEFORE THE OTHER?Bothbeingequallyimportant,Iwouldschedulethesameamountoftimeforeach.Cardioprovideshealthbenefitsforyourcardiovascularsystem;strengthtraininghelpsburnfatandbuildsstrongmuscles.Itdoesn’tmatterwhichyoudofirst.

HOW MANY DAYS PER WEEK SHOULD I WORK OUT?Onaverage,Iwouldsayyoushouldexerciseatleastthreetofivedaysaweek.TheAmericanCollegeofSportsMedicinerecommendsresistancetrainingatleasttwodaysperweektobuildhealthybonesandmuscles.Aminimumof15minutes of cardio can be performed every day for those who are ambitious.

HOW IMPORTANT IS KEEPING GOOD FORM WHEN STRENGTH TRAINING?Veryimportant.Multiplerepetitionscanmakeyoupronetoinjurywhenyoutireandletgoofyourform.Topreventthisfrom happening, look in the mirror and perform slow, controlled movements.

HOW CAN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS BREATHING BECOME SO CONFUSING? WHEN DO I INHALE AND WHEN DO I EXHALE?Exhaleonthepowerstroke(orthe“exertion”–themostchallengingpartofthemovement).Inhaleontheeasierpart.Asimplewaytorememberthisis,“exs”–exhalewhenyouexert.Letyourbreathingdictatethespeedandpaceofyourexercises.Ifyoueverfeeloutofbreath,slowdown.

SHOULD I FUEL UP BEFORE OR AFTER A WORKOUT?It’simportanttofuelupbeforeandafteryouexerciseandtokeepyourselfadequatelyhydratedthroughout.Agoodapproach is to drink a moderately caffeinated beverage, like Liftoff® or Herbal Tea Concentrate, about 30 minutes before yourworkout.Afteryourworkout,arecoveryshakeisagreatwaytoget20to25gramsofproteinbackintoyoursystemto help build and maintain healthy muscles.

IS STRETCHING IMPORTANT?Absolutely!Looseningupyourmusclesthroughoverallstretchingtechniquesreducesyourriskofinjury.Ideally,it’sbesttostretch before and after your workout.

WHICH MUSCLES SHOULD I FOCUS ON MOST?Focusing on your larger muscles will give you the most bang for your efforts. The larger the muscle, the more metabolic thebenefit,andthebiggerpayoffyoureceiveintheareaofweightmanagement.Focusingonthefollowingmusclegroupswilltypicallyyieldthebestresults:chest,back,biceps,triceps,absandlegs.Todevelopanevenmusculature,make sure to work out both your upper and lower body.

HOW OFTEN CAN I EXERCISE MY ABDOMINAL MUSCLES? Because abs are so resilient, you can actually work them out every day, Strengthening these core muscles helps you to maintain good posture, balance and helps to reduce the risk of back problems.
