Having such influential and motivational people around you in Forever has been key in helping me do well in my rugby, on and off the field. Now adopting leadership in both lines of work, it is becoming even more important to keep learning and developing as an individual and that is where Forever has helped me more than I ever could have imagined.

My regular day will start around 6.30am. Forever’s Active Probiotic is the first thing I reach for to set my day off. The good bacteria needed to maintain a healthy gut is so important and this is exactly what the probiotic will provide. I drink a 60ml shot of Forever Freedom, making sure my joints are looked after for the day ahead, giving my energy levels a much needed boost before I hit London traffic!

My breakfast will consist of porridge oats and milk, along with fruit and Forever Bee Honey, a great healthy, natural sweetener for anything. I will then have two scoops of Forever Lite Ultra Vanilla Shake in a shaker with a scoop of ARGI+. With the nitric oxide-boosting properties, the antioxidant hit of L-Arginine and

vitamin complex, it kick starts my metabolism for the day. Alongside my shake, I will have two Immublend tablets, again helping me maintain my good health throughout the winter months and to cope with the physical stress of training.

A normal day is interspersed with regular meetings and MOTs with the physio team. We will be provided with lunch, where alongside I will take my Arctic-Sea capsules, providing me with the essential omega oils that I need to stay lean. After sessions I will have my Forever Lite Ultra Vanilla Shake and another serving of ARGI+, thirty minutes pre-workout. On the way home from training I will have two Bee Pollen tablets to help maintain energy levels, along with a Freedom2Go

sachet which will top me up on my much needed Aloe Vera Gel.

The reason I choose Forever products over the hundreds of other brands out there is because I know I am getting 100% natural goodness. I feel healthy and my recovery rates have improved a great deal.

“My journey in professional rugby started at the age of 18. Coming straight out of school into a daunting world of high level sport, with some big international names is enough to frighten anyone, but I’m always one for a challenge!”

In many ways, I can compare my short time in professional rugby to my even shorter journey in Forever. Both are in very different fields of work. However, there are many topics that I come across on a day-to-day basis that very much overlap.

This two-step process takes into account body cleansing, weight loss and long-term weight management, whilst also providing the ever important nutritional elements needed for healthy and safe results.

The great thing about having a two-step solution is that the products work in synergy to aid in the body’s natural cleansing, burning stored fat cells and helping to achieve optimum nutrition.

Step one, the Clean 9 pack, is designed as the perfect kick-start to a new health regime, allowing you to see and feel results within just nine days! The great thing about this element is that it is not just about weight loss, but body cleansing – a process that really needs to be at the heart of any weight management programme if you want fast and effective results.

With all products in one box, the programme is really easy to follow, and will help to cleanse your system whilst burning fat stores.

To achieve the cleansing effect, a nutritional product is needed, one that will work in the digestive system. The Aloe Vera Gel (containing over 200 different compounds) is a powerful nutritional drink for good health and well-being, hitting your digestive system so that it starts to work immediately.

Whilst on a weight loss plan, the body still needs to feel nourished, so protein is really important. The Forever Lite Ultra with Aminotein is high in protein, providing 100% RDA of vitamins and minerals, with an Aminotein element which provides a blend of enzymes specifically designed to break down the protein in your diet. This leads to faster absorption in the body. Plus, it makes a delicious meal replacement shake

that you’ll enjoy having twice a day throughout the programme.

Typically, with any weight loss programme, the body feels the strain and energy levels will drop.

Forever Bee Pollen is a potent multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplement which maintains energy and stamina, whilst looking out for the circulatory, digestive, immune and nervous systems.

Glucose levels are a balancing act throughout any weight loss programme. Forever Garcinia Plus quickly energises the body whilst helping to maintain normal blood glucose levels. It’s a product that aids natural metabolism whilst reducing cholesterol - the perfect weight management supplement.

The 9 Day EffectWhat is the Clean 9?The Forever Nutri-Lean weight management programme is a simple two-step process which combines a 9-day nutritional cleansing plan – the Clean 9 – followed by a long-term weight management programme – Forever Nutri-Lean – to help you reach and sustain your ideal weight.

The first step to a clean body is to control the intake of harmful preservatives and other chemicals. Consume only the Clean 9 products for the first two days and you are on your way to a healthier, happier you. The first two days will require willpower and determination. You need to be serious about improving your life and losing weight, so stick to the plan if you want to see and feel the results. You’ll be glad you did.

Adherence to the next phase of the Clean 9 plan will help your body continue to purge itself of harmful chemicals and begin burning your fat stores. Days 3 - 9 see the introduction of a 600 calorie meal.

Day 1 and 2

Day 3 and 9

With the Clean 9 Programme, the products and supplements you need are all packed and ready, including a measuring cup for your Aloe Vera Gel, a tape measure and a booklet outlining the daily planner, hints and tips and a fantastic calorie counter. All you will need to provide is the willpower and belief in yourself that you can make a change for the better.

The following programme is based on a 1,500 calorie eating-plan and is designed around several ‘mini meals’ to be eaten throughout the day with the aim to try and eat every 3-4 hours. The Forever Nutri-Lean element will continue to aid in your body’s natural cleansing process, while burning your stored fat cells. This programme basically teaches you how to achieve and maintain your desired weight and helps you to manage it both gradually and healthily.

As well as continuing to use some of the products in the Clean 9, the Forever Nutri-Lean programme includes a ground-breaking weight management supplement, combining two revolutionary natural ingredients to help reduce the body’s absorption of calories from fat and carbohydrates. In this way, the Forever Lean gives you that back up when you start to reintroduce different foods into your diet.

Your body still needs to absorb all of the nutritional goodness from the foods you eat, so the Forever Active Probiotic in the

Nutri-Lean programme helps to keep your digestive system performing at an effective rate to ensure you benefit from the goodness you’re consuming.

The Forever two-step programme is an entire solution to your weight management needs. It’s a simple to follow, thorough programme that can easily slot into your daily routine. It’s a weight management programme that will make the difference and give you good habits for life.

Try it, and see the results for yourself.

Both in Tennis and many other sports, there is a high demand of footwork. The need to change direction, the speed and intensity, all in the space of a few seconds, puts extensive pressure on the hips, knees and lower back and this is all before we have even hit the ball. The dominant arm in tennis usually ends up with some form of repetitive strain injury as during an hour on the court, you could be expected to swing your racket over 5,000 times.To ensure I maintain my own health and energy levels, I take a range of products. I begin every day with Forever Freedom, closely followed by ARGI+; I make a Forever Lite Ultra shake to take with me. I will always recommend Forever Freedom to all my clients. This drink is a popular drink for athletes and active people because it is enriched with chondroitin and glucosamine.

It doesn’t really matter what type of sports-person you are, looking after your body is part of the ongoing challenge, and Forever Freedom really is the best way to help your body perform at its utmost. ARGI+ is my favourite product, it has so many benefits, especially to anyone in the sports and fitness industry as it can

increase muscle growth, mass, strength and endurance.

To me, this is the ideal drink for any sports person, before, during or after their sport. Tennis players need energy for two to three hours on the court. Having a drink at the change of ends keeps the body working at its optimum throughout.

All of the players at my club have been encouraged by me to apply the Aloe Heat Lotion before warming up, as it contains deep-heating agents, which penetrate down into any tired or tight muscles.

I really believe in the Forever product range; I know it has helped my performance and my health.

Game, Set, ForeverGareth Jones, Forever Manager

Gareth is a professional tennis coach and a Manager in Forever. He was introduced to Forever’s products, in particular the Forever Freedom. “Freedom really is the best way to help your body perform at its utmost.”

“It doesn’t really matter what type of sports-person you are, looking after your body is part of the ongoing challenge, and Freedom really is the best way to help your body perform at its utmost.”

This nutritional supplement drink contains a large quantity of L-Arginine, an essential amino acid. It also contains a multitude of vitamins, including vitamin C and folate, helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue and supporting the healthy function of the immune system. The vitamin D ingredient contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.

Plant extracts are also included such as refreshing pomegranate, known as a rich source of antioxidants needed to combat

the damage caused by free radicals, plus red wine extract, grape skin and berry extracts.

Add a scoop of ARGI+ to your sports flask with some water, juice or one of our signature aloe vera drinks. Reap the numerous benefits this fantastic Forever product brings; it will become an essential addition to your sports bag that you will never want to be without.

I first started to gain weight following a knee injury over 15 years ago. The injury meant I had to give up competitive basketball and other sports I loved. Following the birth of my two children, I gained even more weight and found it increasingly difficult to do any exercise at all. Just going for a walk for any length of time would cause my knee to become very painful and swollen.

The vicious circle of weight gain and inactivity soon led to other problems. I had backache most of the time and indigestion was a daily occurrence. My confidence was affected and I soon fell into the role of just being ‘mum’, focusing on my children all the time and losing the real me.

In February 2009 I did my first Clean 9 cleansing programme, and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed my life! I lost 12 pounds in weight! It made me think very differently about the food I ate and gave me hope that one day I would be able to take part in sports again.

For the first time in years, I felt positive about losing weight and I knew I could do it. My confidence

had increased slightly and my belief in the benefits of aloe and Forever’s weight management products was sky-high.

I found the Garcinia supplement fantastic as not only did it decrease my appetite, but it also controlled the swings in blood sugar I had previously experienced when trying to lose weight. The Bee Pollen tablets gave me the energy I needed to be a busy mum of two and to continue my work in physiotherapy. I found it a very convenient plan to follow.

I have lost a total of five stone using Forever’s weight management products and I now feel I am back to being ‘Tina’ again.

I am now able to exercise daily and enjoying getting back to the level of fitness I maintained. I can wear the clothes I want and do everything in life I want to do. Forever’s weight management programme really has changed my life. I am so much happier now and finally living life to the full.

Tina GilliesForever ManagerTina received dramatic results after using Forever’s Clean 9 weight management plan. She lost 12lbs in weight which significantly changed her life for the better.

disaster. Listening to your body and possible warning signs is vital. Poor nutrition and poor hydration also has a cost. After age 35-40 years the famous Cleveland clinic based in the USA recommends five to six smaller intakes of energy via healthy snacks and meals per day, low in saturated fats, balanced

protein and complex carbs to keep energy levels high. Also juicing (mixing fruits and vegetables) and taking the right supplements and vitamins is useful in maintaining health and energy.

The end game has to last the distance as a business leader, golf professional and/or golf executive with health, fitness, happiness and success; this is the mark of a true corporate athlete.

“Lack of moderate exercise on a regular basis can simply contribute to clogging up the system...”

Dr Dorian Dugmore Phd

Allow laughter and happiness to percolate into your day and practice three random acts of kindness showing benevolence to those who work with you; it helps build teams and protect health

So what’s the remedy to lasting the distance as a corporate athlete…

Make an appointment in your diary to take regular moderate exercise (two to three hours a week)

Know your own ‘wellbeing profile’ through measuring key health numbers on an annual basis

Listen to your body and be aware of your own internal warning signs, and act rather than ignore symptoms of ill health

Eat nutritious healthy food low in saturates and trans fatty acids, with a balance of protein and complex carbohydrates for slow and sustained energy releases

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of still water every day, keep hydrated through checking the colour of your urine (it should be light & transparent in appearance, not dark)

In today’s performance orientated world there is a real need for individuals in pressurised positions to be able to deliver results day in and day out. This requires individuals to be in the best possible shape, whether playing a sport or managing/running a business. Too often in the chase for success, personal wellbeing is neglected, often with the potential for serious health consequences.

A LONG DISTANCE EVENT

Olympic athletes, although having a clear focus on world-class performances, often have a limited amount of time to perform at the top level. Sir Steve Redgrave (Rower) and Michael Phelps (Swimmer) are two notable exceptions, which makes them legendary in their respective sports. However the corporate athlete can often be looking at a career that has the potential to span 40 to 50 years! Throughout this time, to stay at the top they need to consistently perform at their best. It’s a long distance event for sure.

WHAT ARE THE WELLBEING FACTORS THAT CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

Well it’s not clear cut but constant stress is a factor that needs to be addressed. If not dealt with

successfully its negative effects include, high blood pressure contributing to potential heart problems and stroke, elevated blood sugars raising the risk for diabetes, increased production of acids in the stomach causing potential stomach upsets even ulcers, changes in blood cholesterol raising the risk for coronary heart disease and a host of other issues including dangerous heart rhythms that could be life threatening.

Lack of moderate exercise on a regular basis can simply contribute to clogging up the system, particularly the blood vessels and create the potential for blockages in the heart and brain. High intensity and sustained exhaustive exercise contrary to belief is NOT the best antidote, it can carry risk particularly if you’re not really fit. Settle for more moderate intensity

exercise, boosting endorphins and their cardio protective benefits.

The corporate athlete should know their key health numbers just as they know their own sports performance numbers. These include blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugars and some less common numbers that include inflammatory markers like C Reactive Protein and Homocysteine. Monitoring your heart rhythm with an ECG is also valuable to check for any rhythm disturbances or lack of oxygen going to the heart during exercise. This together with an echo cardiogram to check for any structural or functional abnormalities of the heart wall is a good idea too.

As a corporate athlete ignoring warning signs that all is not well can be a potential ticket to

Learn to chill for 10 minutes everyday with deep breathing techniques that help regulate heart rhythms and promote good health
