4 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. 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 Stronger, Faster,Fitter, Forever Jack Wallace, Forever Supervisor Professional Rugby Player My journey in professional rugby started at the age of 18.

ARGI+: code: 320 Game, Set, Forever Gareth 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. 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 deepheating 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. 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.

9 Tina Gillies Forever Manager Tina 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. FAB energy drink to feel revitalised 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.

10 Dr Dorian Dugmore Phd The Corporate Athlete Dr Dorian Dugmore has been working in cardiovascular medicine and wellness for 30 years and has written extensively on health, exercise and heart disease. 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 worldclass 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 disaster. Listening to your body and possible warning signs is vital. Poor nutrition and poor hydration also has a cost. After age 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 Lack of moderate exercise on a regular basis can simply contribute to clogging up the system... 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.
