Wellness is the central trend for the coming decades

Tony and Heidi Underwood

Adjusting to a normal life after being a professional rugby player, and representing your country is very difficult. The decision I took was to sever almost all contact with the sport. To hang on to the coat-tails of my relative success would have been easy to do, but in so doing I would not move on. I hope I have left that part of my life having entertained in some way the rugby supporters of the various teams I played for. However, I needed to find another vehicle to allow myself to grow and to leave a different but enduring legacy, one that not just enriches lives, but makes an everlasting difference to the quality of them. Today I carry a message more important than the product I am trying to promote.

The notion that you can take control of your lives, and begin a road to wellness. My role therefore is to use my profile to promote the message of good nutrition as far and wide as I can and to improve the health of as many people as possible around the world.

Our introduction to this opportunity came through a friend of Tony’s, who had had a fantastic product result. However, my interest was initially not based on the products, but rather on the opportunity to work from home around our two small daughters. It was important for me to be in control of my time and not have to sacrifice spending quality time with my children.

Furthermore, a combination of having been away from the workplace for some considerable time, and constantly living in the shadow of Tony during his rugby days, had led to a lack of confidence and self-esteem. This opportunity has given me the chance to establish my own identity, and given me a real sense of direction and purpose. Best of all, this lifelong journey is one which Tony and I are able to enjoy together"

I" have always been a keen sportsman - playing cricket & hockey at county level when young - as I got older I put weight on - Herbalife products shifted 35 pounds and got my shape back. Playing hockey, gym work & golf I found the Herbalife sport regime gave me great energy and focus again! Trainings from Heather Livingston inspired me to develop the sport business and earn the exclusive official supplier of sport nutrition products to the Faldo Junior Series! Even better I was invited to join Team Faldo  which is the elite squad picked by Nick to develop each year - the best young golfers in Europe.

The other advisers in Team Faldo include Jeremy Bennet Nick's Coach, Chris Shambrook the Gold medal winning sport psychologist (UK Olympic rowing team). So it was a thrill to spend a week in the Faldo Golf institute in Florida with Nick Faldo. The US golf channel interviewed me in Florida - it was broadcast nationally in USA and also on Sky Sports across Europe promoting Sport Nutrition! With the credibility of having the Faldo Junior Series logo - suddenly retailing & recruitment became even easier - I now have several golfers including one pro/sport nutrition degree (Loughborough University) Supervisor, rugby, hockey, cricket, football, tennis, personal trainers and many other sportspeople both using the products and as distributors. I now find all sorts of people are coming to me including high profile players/clubs.

"I started to take the Herbalife program before the world competition on the recommendation of my trainer. Through the reduction of my excess body fat, I'm faster, stronger and more explosive, and I have a better post recovery. The results speak loudly. My results on the products made it so easy for me to recommend the Herbalife program to all my clients and friends who noticed the results. It is so rewarding to see that all of them are experiencing positive results.

Paul Mitchell - Sixth Dan Chief Instructor Shukokai Australia, Australian National Coach
"In our profession we demand top performance from our bodies in extreme conditions. The Herbalife program has definitely given me the additional endurance, stamina and better post-sport recovery. Today I am recommending the same program to all my students, colleagues and friends."

Kevin Gately – Third Dan, Australian Karate Federation Team Member, Victorian State Champion, The National Champion & Australian Open Champion.
"On Herbalife products in a very short space of time, I have improved stamina & felt more alert. I was able to concentrate better, had improved muscle tone and felt far more healthy. I have been able to maintain my optimum weight having lost excess body fat but gained muscle mass. I have gained a better power to weight ratio and have increased my speed. Since seeing the positive effects on myself I decided to market the Herbalife products through my dojo as I believe that my students will gain much from them."

Bjarne Riis -Winner Tour de France
"Using the Herbalife program I was able to lose 6kg of excess weight I was carrying. Rather than being weakened by this, the products amazingly also helped increase my stamina levels!" "Herbalife products have helped me gain that competitive edge" and win the Tour de. "I cannot recommend Herbalife products enough, all my team is on the program".

Paul van Eyssen - Springbok Water-skier, Tri-Athlete Champion:
After 5 years lay-off from competitive sport I began my "come-back" training program. The big problem was that 6 months down the track I still had not made any progress. I had managed to lose 2kg, but my main concern was the fact that I suffered from perpetual fatigue. My daily training combined swimming, cycling and running, and I never seemed to recover adequately between sessions. This eventually caused damage and worst of all INJURY!! I was ready to concede (like most guys my age) that it was part of reaching the 40's. A friend suggested me to try the Herbalife Cellular Nutrition program, which I did. "My body shape has changed, my weight has stabilized, my body fat has reduced, and most important of all the increase in energy levels naturally lead to a better recovery time, allowing maximum benefit from training and ultimately great performance results".
