Herbalife Bicyclist One of the great things about running Herbal Nutrition is that we get to meet and talk with wonderful people from all over the world. About a week ago, I received an email from an Italian distributor who was trying to help one of her clients who is competing in the USA in the Trans Am Bike Race.

 

Here’s her original email:

After working with distributors on the route, we were finally able to get some products from a distributor who had the items on hand, and have them delivered to Giorgio enroute.

Since he was passing close my home, I was able to drive up and cheer for Giorgio and his friend Paolo! I also delivered box of protein bars which I had on hand!

Herbalife Fit CampGetting in shape is primarily a combination of two factors: a good diet and regular exercise. We all know that Herbalife products are a great way to help you meet your goal, but your regime will be much more effective if you keep yourself healthy with vigorous exercise on the regular.

But what’s that? Don’t want to go to the gym, where prying eyes are everywhere, judging your copious rolls of fat? No problem, just invest the thousands of dollars into fitness equipment and make your own personal gym in the comfort of your own ho- no? Your money’s all tied up in real estate and venture capital? No problem, Daddy or Mommy Warbucks! You can get a decent workout with little to no extra items needed.
Never think that just because you don’t have the time or money to go to the gym that you can take your physical fitness for granted. Let’s take a look at some of the best ways you can get exercise at home.

Bodyweight Workouts

If you don’t have equipment, your body is the best way for you to do some strength training. The workouts that were taught to you in gym class still apply to your adult life-jumping jacks, crunches, pushups, pullups, squats, and lunges. Don’t worry about losing weight and the bodyweight you can work with-you can always up the difficulty by, say, upgrading your pushups to the more punishing diamond kind, or the one-armed kind, or increasing the incline, or a combination of previous methods.

This doesn’t apply to just the pushup- you can do bicycle crunches when the regular crunch doesn’t cut it, jump squats if squats become too easy, and jump lunges when you can do a lunge in your sleep. Websites such as Women’s Health have plenty of resources for devising and implementing a bodyweight workout plan.

Wii Fit Plus and Wii Fit U

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it- Nintendo’s fitness software has sold over 23 million copies worldwide, and for good reason-it works. Coupled with an iron fortitude and the included Balance Board, Wii Fit and its expansions bring you an interactive personal trainer, gamifying those home workout tapes in a way that has never been more effective. It doesn’t hurt that the Balance Board, which can judge your center of gravity and weight, is far more accurate than a common household scale.

Try each exercise out, see which is best for you, and develop your own regular exercise routine. Alternately, you can use one of the included regimens, focusing on strength, aerobics, or other points for improvement. And let’s face it, you or one of your family members probably has a Wii and a Balance Board gathering dust somewhere, but if not, the barrier for entry will be less than 200 dollars, if you know where to look.
Plus, if you’ve jumped onto that next-generational hype train, Wii Fit U has been even more improved, allowing you to transfer your data from Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus and continue your exercises in glorious HD. Exercises have been fine-tuned, making this software more effective than before.

Yoga

Attaining the state of mind that comes with yoga is pretty hard after you’ve driven to the studio, found a place to lay your mat, and are looking at the sweaty behind of the person in front of you. That’s why we recommend doing yoga at home, by yourself, in the stillness and quiet of your own personal space.

Take a few classes, watch some videos online to get yourself familiar with the poses, memorize them, and spend every morning (or evening) saluting the sun. Yoga is a great way to relax, calm your mind, and perhaps cool down from a more intensive workout. All you need is a mat and a can-do attitude.

By the way, we don’t have a deal to promote Nintendo or anything, but there are yoga and Pilates exercises included in Wii Fit as well.

Walking, Running, Biking

This last item isn’t strictly limited to your home (although treadmills and stationary bikes are relatively cheap), but are some of the most effective ways to get a good cardiovascular workout. If you live in a decent neighborhood with good roads, some sloping hills, with relatively little traffic, you can plan your route.

Walk, run, and cycle along it first thing in the morning, or at night, and burn those calories. Brisk walking at around three miles per hour burns 360 calories, running six miles per hour burns around 828 calories, and cycling twelve miles per hour burns around 639 calories.

Never think that just because you don’t have the time or money to go to the gym that you can take your physical fitness for granted. These are just some examples of ways to get fit at home. Coupled with the healthiest offerings from Herbalife, you’ll be on your way to a new you in no time.

 

Success! As online businesses keep up with the pace of technology’s rise, the number of entrepreneurs who want to try their luck in the trade is also increasing. One of the most common business models is network marketing, a system where members are compensated not just for the products they are able to sell, they also receive a percentage for the sales made by the people they were able to recruit. These days, network marketing, also known as multi-level-marketing, has crossed the border between traditional methods of selling and the online business scene.

As the interest of more startup business owners are piqued, the buzz about network marketing is also growing. However, not everyone has a clue how to really begin, much less do it. So what’s a budding entrepreneur got to do? Besides believing in yourself and in your product, here are other five things you can do that successful multilevel marketers swear by:

1. Set clear objectives and goals

If you are one of those who believe that you were born to sell, being enthusiastic about multilevel marketing wouldn’t be a problem. But sometimes, people can be a little too excited to begin that they want to start at every possible angle. When it’s time to get down to business, it can help if you curb your enthusiasm a bit and focus on setting your objectives and goals as you board the network marketing ship.

Make a list of the things that you want to accomplish through your business and identify whether they are short-term, mid-term, or long-term goals. Your goal may be to buy your dream car, go on that luxurious cruise, or save enough money to send your kids to college. Whatever it is, lay them down and devise means on how you can achieve these things. You can also break down your goals into smaller achievements and treat them as stepping stones to reaching your bigger goals. A list will also help you keep track of your progress and help you determine how close you are to realizing one goal after another.

2. Find a mentor

While there is nothing wrong with being self-taught, finding a mentor who can show you the ropes and guide your ascent to business success wouldn’t hurt. Ideally, you should train under those who already have a wealth of experience not just in multilevel marketing, but also in selling your product. They can teach you techniques that you can use when you finally hit the salt mines, and they can warn you about pitfalls and setbacks that you might encounter in the field.

3. Put up a website

Not all multilevel marketing firms come with a free website that you can use to promote yourself and the brand. This is one perk that Herbal Nutrition gives its distributors upon signing up. Use your website to give your brand exposure and to communicate with your target audience. You can also fill it with different types of content to make your site more interactive. Apart from articles and blogs, you can also upload photos, videos, and infographics about your business and your brand. To make your online presence stronger, you can also engage your target audience through social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

4. Expand your network

One of the tenets of promoting and selling online is to build and expand your network as much as you can, and the same principle can be applied to multilevel marketing. In addition, the point of MLM is not just to make the brand prosper, as its bigger goal is to help succeed in the business. While people might find your product and its benefits appealing, they would be more interested in how it can help them improve their lives on a long-term basis. So whenever opportunity presents itself, make friends with people in your community or in events relevant to your business.

5. Sell the idea, not just the product

The scope of multilevel marketing is broadening at a quick pace so it shouldn’t be a surprise that your target audience have had its share of multilevel marketers’ speech. This presents the possibility that they might not be so keen on listening to you but you have to know that there is a way around it. Instead of convincing them to try your product, sell them the idea or philosophy behind it. Take Herbalife, for instance. While its products are known worldwide for their effectiveness, distributors bank on the ideology that these items can help the consumers improve their wellbeing while earning a decent living at the same time.

If you, too, have tips on how startup multilevel marketers can succeed at their endeavor, feel free to share it with us in the comments box.

Formula 1 RecipesThe 21st century requires an active lifestyle. You need to do everything these days-focusing on your career, your social life, self-improvement, your physical fitness, skill development-and putting it all together presents a considerable challenge.

With all the tasks that have to be finished in your busy schedule, integrating Herbalife shakes into your day can be an effective way to streamline your time management. Each shake is the equivalent of a set meal, ensuring that you don’t have to slow down to get the nutrition you need.

Herbalife’s trademark shake, Formula 1, is an ideal meal substitute. It contains 21 essential vitamins and minerals, as well as protein and fiber, keeping your body clean and healthy, able to keep performing at the optimal levels that you demand.
That said, drinking a shake for a meal all day every day is bound to get old quick. Not to worry-we’re here to help. Let’s take a look at some of the best ways to spice up Herbalife’s Formula 1.

1. Try a different flavor

The first suggestion is also the most simple. Formula 1 comes in 11 different flavors, already introducing variety to your daily shakes. Love vanilla, as a true connoisseur of flavor should? Herbalife offers three different kinds- French Vanilla, for those who prefer a fuller, more floral taste; Vanilla (Allergen-Free), for the more sensitive types; and Kosher Vanilla, for the most sensitive types.

Chocolate lovers can choose from Dutch Chocolate for that rich flavor, or if you want to chill, the soothing blend of Mint Chocolate calms the nerves and clears the mind. You can also try Café Latte for the same energy kick-and flavor-without the crippling caffeine addiction. And best of all, after getting caught in the rain, you can kick back and relax with a Piña Colada shake, if you like.

2. Make ice cream

Ice cream is truly a gift from the gods, but by their name, it isn’t good for you. Because the Formula 1 flavors are so diverse, they can be used for practically any flavor of the frozen treat. A good standby is the classic Cookies and Cream.

Take two heaping scoops of Cookies and Cream Formula 1, mix it with 250 milliliters of soy milk, then stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes. If you close your eyes and expand your palate, it’ll taste as good-and make you feel as good-as real ice cream does. Try mixing different flavors together with different types of milk and find the right taste for you.

3. Bake pastries

You don’t have to drink Herbalife shakes. They’re in powder form, which means you can mix them into things and see where it goes.

Put it in a bowl with the right ingredients, pop it in the oven, and you might find that you can enjoy delicious baked treats every single day. Take 3/4 cup of vanilla Formula 1 as your base, ½ cups canola oil, 1 ½ cups self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ skim milk, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 ripe bananas, 2 beaten eggs, and sweetener equal to ½ sugar.

After preheating your oven to 180 °C, mix the milk, oats, bananas, and eggs in one bowl. Sift the flour and add the baking powder, Formula 1, and sweetener in another bowl. Put the two bowls together, making sure not to overmix, and place them in a muffin tin. Bake them for around 26 minutes, and voila, muffins for lunch.
Don’t have an oven, or these recipes seem too time-consuming for you? Adapt them into pancakes! Everybody loves a good fat stack of pancakes with honey and margarine (or if you want to indulge, butter).

These are just a few ways to make your Herbalife shake meals something to look forward to every time you eat them. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other recipes, like smoothies, bars, cakes, puddings, and pies. You won’t know how versatile the powder can be until you try. Happy eating!

Do what your Herbalife coach told you! So you’re new to Herbalife! Welcome! After hearing every convincing speech a distributor gave you, you’re now ready to test the waters on your own. You’re excited to learn the ropes, meet new people, and of course, earn the income promised by hard work. However, you probably encountered a few bumps on the road you chose to tread on your network marketing journey. This is to be expected as there have been a number of misconceptions about this industry brought about by people who employed practices frowned upon by legitimate companies.

In one of our previous blog posts, we published an article sharing tips for first-time multilevel marketers. And while newbies have so much to look forward to in MLM, this business model also comes with challenges. The good news is there are ways to hurdle them, provided that the company you joined is legitimate and that you believe in its philosophy and products. If you’re in Herbalife, don’t worry, you’ve already picked the best company around! In this article, we have included challenges commonly faced by rookies plus tips on overcoming them.

1. Inexperience

It’s easy to feel intimidated by the mere fact that you barely know anything about the field you’re just getting into, but if you think about it, every network marketer started exactly where you are-at the beginning. While there are people who can sell practically anything as if it’s their primary calling, they also had to hone their skills through experience and a series of trial-and-errors.

It is a common practice among proper network marketing firms to provide lessons and training to their new members. But if you want a more stringent way of learning, you can befriend a veteran or skilled member and ask if he or she can serve as your mentor. If your company allows for it, you can also ask your mentor if you could shadow him or her while at work and observe the ways they talk to people and persuade them to either join or buy a product.

2. Finding Prospects

Lead generation is one of the most important aspects of Herbalife because this is how you find people to sell products to. However, not all companies are able to furnish their members a system of finding prospects. One advantage Herbal Nutrition offers is getting a website upon signing up as a member, which is a potent tool in attracting leads. Assuming that you fill your site with relevant information and regular updates about your product, you’ll then be one step ahead of other multilevel marketers.

Another frowned upon practice by some multilevel marketers is by inviting people to have lunch or coffee without telling them the purpose behind the meeting. This may have worked for some, but more people are repelled by this method. If you must invite prospects to a personal meeting, muster the courage to tell them the truth. Prospects are more likely to appreciate your confidence on your product and yourself instead of lying to them blatantly.

3. Sticking to Standard MLM Techniques

Traditional techniques aren’t there for nothing. If, for anything, the reason why they’re considered standard is because they worked for members who have been with the company for a while. On the other hand, this shouldn’t mean that you can’t come up with ideas that can advance your MLM skills. Sometimes, no matter how good customary techniques are, there is still a possibility that it won’t work for everyone, which means that you have to exhaust other options to build your network. You can also incorporate old techniques with fresh ideas and see which works with what.

Take this for example. When you already have a site, you can employ content marketing strategies to boost your lead generation efforts and even sell. Some of the things that you can do include writing blogs, sharing accurate information, and posting photos that your prospects can make use of and share. You can also sign up to social media sites such as LinkedIn and Google+ and make connections with prospects and other MLM professionals. Multilevel marketing mainly deals with expanding your network, which means that you have to exhaust all means possible to communicate and get to know plenty of people.

When trying out new approaches to advance your MLM efforts, make sure that you stick with what is lawful and what you agreed upon signing up as a member. It is also wise to stay ethical while keeping on top of your business. Doing so will help you preserve the name your brand is carrying as well as your reputation as a multilevel marketer.
