The research is overwhelming: you need to be active to avoid the lifestyle diseases that are pervasive throughout our society. These debilitating conditions will shorten your life and, at least equally importantly, rob you of an active and mobile lifestyle as you age. When it comes to preventing and treating these diseases, it is also clear that exercise is preventative medicine and holds the least tendency for negative side effects while offering immediate rewards in the quality of your life.
Many people we meet are intimidated by the concept of exercise and justifiably leery of gyms and unqualified fitness programs. Still, others are exercising regularly but not getting results, or worse they are chronically injured from ill-advised workouts and unscientific dietary advice.
24 Fit Workout Plan – Science based, periodisation training, habit forming 30 minute workouts, clear instruction so like having a PT in your home, strength training 3 times a week(with resistance bands/dumbbells and for the advanced user ankle weights), gradual increase in intensity through 3 phases, 3 levels of difficulty, make your body more resilient to injury, improve posture and personalised nutrition plan.

If you are looking to increase your metabolism and strength while getting lean and toned, and who isn’t, you need to weight train! Lean muscle burns more calories so if you want to decrease body fat, perform better, train for an event or just look & feel great, then plan to strength train 3 times a week for 30 mins.
Why Strength Training?
- To increase your resting metabolism, decrease blood pressure & body fat
- Reduce bone deterioration and build bone mass to prevent osteoporosis
- Strength training done properly with clear instruction from the 24 Fit Workout DVDs and with planning will NOT give you large muscles, but increase your metabolism which burns more calories and transforms your body into an efficient machine with the tone that we all strive to attain!
Gong away this summer? Take the resistance bands with you they are light and can easily packed in your suitcase.
Nutrition
Replace high fat, high calorie, high sugar, high preservative, low nutrition foods with low fat, low calorie, low sugar, nutritionally dense food ..its called Herbalife Formula 1, the worlds no.1 nutritional meal replacement!
To help preserve muscle mass, aim for at least 15 grams of protein at every meal, the amount of protein is personalised to the individual. Someone who is 5ft 10″ requires more protein than someone 5 ft. 2″, for example. And a Herbalife shake after training accelerates lean muscle growth, which in turn revs your metabolism and burns more fat, and speeds up recovery. Eating soon after your workout not only speeds the recovery process, it also can prevent you from feeling deeply ravenous and overeating later on.

Why step up your Strength Training as you age?
“By your mid-30s, most people still look young, but are already experiencing the BIG Three of aging: deteriorating lean muscle mass, worsening posture, and crumbling joints” say Robert Forster, Physical Therapist and PT.
Many people say that, as they age, they eat and exercise the same amount but still gain weight. One of the main causes of this is loss of muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn. Strength training preserves and even increases muscle mass, keeping metabolism at a high level.
Everyone, no matter how young or old, should be doing some kind of regular strength training. This could be at the gym, or at home using very little equipment. Resistance bands small hand weights, and even your own body weight can be used as resistance with a strength training program.
Strength Training For Busy People
Step up your strength training, that is 3 times a weeks with the Herbalife 24Fit Workout DVDs using resistance bands, ankle weights and dumbbells. That’s a 30 minute workout easy to fit into your busy day and to build good habits. It builds lean muscle & increases your metabolic rate. Pay attention to proper form and technique, as they are very important for injury prevention and producing results. Using the 24 Fit DVDs is like having your own personal trainer at home.
To help preserve muscle mass, aim for at least 15 grams of protein at every meal, the amount of protein is personalised to the individual.

Watch this video to learn beneficial morning rituals that can prepare your mind and body for everything you have planned for that day.
Some great tips here from Brian Tracy on how to get into some good habits. Plan what you are going to do the night before by making a list, exercise, take a healthy breakfast, which keeps the blood in the brain and read something inspiring.
In practical terms: go to bed in your workout gear, take a sip of your shake before your 24fitworkout, a 30 minute workout, the rest of the shake afterwards….then some reading…or listen to a tape on the way to work.
