T

he 24-foot trailer, designed and developed by our corporate alliance team, is stocked with a refrigerator, one freezer, blenders and lots of space for our delicious Formula 1 Shake Mix. It’s also equipped to carry data-collection kiosks, a flat screen monitor, Wi-Fi, tents, product display cases, posters of our products and sponsored-athletes, and so much more. The popular mobile unit made its prominent debut at the 2009 Amgen Tour of California, shaking up all nine cities of the tour. Since then, it has traveled to several LA Galaxy games, IndyCar racing events, an AYSO soccer tournament and numerous Distributor events. Look for it next at the North America Extravaganza in Atlanta. The Herbalife Shake Mobile was conceived with a few important goals in mind: • T o sample our #1 product, Formula 1 Shakes in a safe environment • To service Distributors anywhere in the United States • T o create a branding experience that is both innovative and customizable to the event and its attendees So whether it’s for a quick stop at a Nutrition Club, or for a three-day stay at an Indy500 event, the Herbalife Shake Mobile is up to the task. The AYSO name, marks and all associate trademarks and logotypes are owned by the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). insideherbalife | 05

Social Media

for Our Social Company When Barak Obama was elected U.S. president, a decisive factor was his phenomenal outreach to millions of individuals through ‘social media.’ His campaign team was the first ever to fully embrace the power of networking through online communication tools such as Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, to push out a candidate’s message to voters directly rather than passively; and his campaign’s successful result validates the benefits of virtual, one-on-one, conversations made possible with social media. This revolutionary and personal approach has changed the way companies communicate with prospects and customers across the globe. It should come as no surprise then that our Distributors have already integrated social media in their daily business practices. To better serve our Distributors and to educate the public, Herbalife has been making the most of the leading social media sites. It’s an evolving process, but so far, our company has developed a presence on Twitter (HerbalifeHQ), Facebook (HerbalifeHQ) and YouTube (Channel: HerbalifeIntl). And we’re just getting started.

On Facebook, we’re informing over 18,000 fans (employees, Distributors and customers) about new happenings. Our page includes photos, videos and constant updates.*

Micro-blogging site Twitter allows us to ‘tweet’ instantly about Herbalife items of interest, either within the company or across the industry, so followers can be up to date on relevant news and issues.*

ur YouTube channel allows us to host videos in one place that’s easy for any Distributor O or end user to locate at any time.*

These steps are just the beginning of a constantly evolving program that ensures Herbalife is, as a company and a world-class brand, having meaningful conversations with prospects and customers in a way that wasn’t previously possible. It’s one more chance for us to do all we can to make our Distributors’ job easier than ever before, as they sell our products and offer our business opportunity. *To connect with Herbalife on any of the social media sites, you can register and create a free account.

Success Stories

Proven. Powerful.

Now is the time to start your own weightloss program. Here's how some fellow Herbalife employees achieved their goals.

Karina Heredia Gavin Aley – Director, Sales Strategy Services & Marketing, United Kingdom I joined the company in June 2008. In July, I decided to give the products a serious try. After attempting many unsuccessful diets in the past, I was unsure what to expect. In just two weeks, I started to feel a lot better: higher energy levels and looser trousers! My daily routine now consists of a shake for breakfast and lunch, and a healthy meal in the evening. I snack on protein bars and sip Thermo Tea throughout the day. I also visit the gym for 50 minutes, three times a week, and I drink H3O Pro™ Isotonic Drink to help improve my performance. My total weight loss so far is 24 pounds – my aim is to lose a total of 49 pounds by the end of the year.*†

Karina Heredia – Representative, Distributor Ethics & Compliance, Venezuela I’m so thankful to Herbalife, not only for giving me the opportunity to work in such a pleasant environment, but also for introducing me to our great products, which have given me excellent results. After giving birth, I gained over 28 pounds but quickly lost it all by drinking Formula 1 Nutritional Shakes on a daily basis, and because they are so delicious, it didn’t feel like I was on a regimen. I recommend them to everyone, not just for weight loss, but also as an energy enhancer.*† * These results are not typical. Individual results will vary. † Some Herbalife® products are only available in some countries. Consult your local product brochure.

David Chung – Representative, Senior Logistics, Hong Kong I had been trying to get rid of my belly for many years. Then, I started using Cell-U-Loss®, Lipobond, Herbalifeline®, RoseOx®‡, Mega Garlic Plus and Triple Berry Complex. After just one month of using our products, I went down from 187 pounds to 180. I see the real life benefits of our products, and my belly keeps getting smaller. I look forward to continuing to use our products, in conjunction with a fitness routine.*†

Meissy Chin

Trevina Lau – Representative, Distributor Services, Hong Kong I have always had a keen interest in food, but have been lazy when it comes to physical exercise. Since gaining weight in secondary school, I’ve used various methods to lose weight, but all of them failed. I finally just accepted the way I looked and didn’t think I could change. When I started working for Herbalife, I started enjoying our products in the pantry. Now, each morning, I have a Formula 1 Shake, Herbal Aloe Concentrate, Niteworks® and Herbal Tea Concentrate. I also have some tea and a shake for lunch, varying the shake flavors and adding in different fruits, so I never get bored. If I go out for lunch, I have the nutritional sense to select my meals wisely.*†

Meissy Chin – Representative II, Distributor Services, Malaysia With support from my fellow colleagues, I have been using our shakes for a year, and so far I have lost 15 pounds. My ideal weight is at 121 pounds, and now I’m excited to keep working to achieve my goal. Currently, I am drinking at least two shakes a day, plus a healthy meal. I also take our Tea Mix – Lemon and Hibiscus, which helps me feel energetic and look fresh.*†

Sai Kumar – Representative, Distributor Services, India Before working at Herbalife, I weighed 160 pounds due to irregular eating habits and a poor diet. But once I joined the company and started consuming the products instead of eating junk food, I lost over 25 pounds and four inches around my waist.*† * These results are not typical.

Success Stories

Thomas Tseng – Representative, Logistics, Taiwan When I joined Herbalife, I weighed over 150 pounds. I was constantly being teased because of my weight. Some people would even call me “little fatty.” I was embarrassed and decided to lose the weight. So I started using our Low Calorie Nutritional Drink Shakes and Herbal Concentrate Tea every day. After just six months, I have lost 22 pounds, and feel so much more confident than I did before.*†

Clark Dai – Manager, EHS at Suzhou Plant, China I joined Herbalife in October 2008, weighing 171 pounds, when nine years earlier, I had weighed 154 pounds. Since I started working here, I have observed our customers – many of whom are extremely fit and lead healthy lives. Determined to lose weight, I decided to give our products a chance. I began drinking a Protein Drink Shake a day, became active in sports and kept myself from eating junk food. After seven months, I am down to 158 pounds and feel amazing!*†

Leo Wang

Thomas Tseng Lena Xu – Assistant Leader, Customer Service, Nanchang, China I became a fan of our Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix shakes as soon as I joined Herbalife. Whenever I drank them, I felt refreshed and energetic. But after giving birth, my weight rocketed from 104 to 136 pounds – big difference! When I couldn’t fit into my favorite dress and my friends kept teasing me about still looking pregnant, I told myself I needed to make a change. I started having two shakes a day and, in just two months, I lost about 25 pounds. Now I can wear my sexy dresses and take pride in being a mom. Thank you Herbalife!*†

Leo Wang – Supervisor, Distributor Relations, Chengdu, China Summer time is show time. In order to be in shape for the summer, I joined a Weight Loss Challenge; and in just over 30 days, I lost almost 20 pounds. Yes, it is doable! I had a shake twice a day, breakfast and lunch, and didn’t eat anything at least four hours before going to bed. I have yet to reach my goal weight; but I am feeling good, and I can’t wait to see what I will look like next month.*† * These results are not typical. Individual results will vary. † Some Herbalife® products are only available in some countries. Consult your local product brochure.

Neshon Davis – Senior Billing Representative, Accounting, Herbalife Plaza Over many years, I have tried many different weight-loss programs, but never have stuck to any of them. I might lose some weight here and there, but would always gain what I had lost, plus a few more. Finally, I made the decision to change my life. I started walking 30 minutes a day and exercising. I also incorporated the following Herbalife® products to my diet: Formula 1 Instant Healthy Meal Nutritional Shakes (Creamy Chocolate is my favorite flavor), Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex, Cell-U-Loss®, Triple Berry Complex, raspberry Herbal Tea Concentrate, apple Active Fiber Complex and mango-flavored Herbal Aloe Powder. Since I began this program in March 2008, I have lost 71 pounds, going down seven dress sizes! I have compiled a detailed journal of my journey, which starts with my daily motto: “I have the will to win." I am so happy because my self-esteem has soared to amazing levels. If I can do it, you can do it, too. All you need is the will to win!*†

Jim Lewis – Manager, Information Technology, Herbalife Plaza When I started keeping a diary of my food intake, I became amazed at the amount of calories I was consuming. I first decided to change my eating habits, switching to five to six smaller meals throughout the day. Several of these small meals were typically our protein shakes. I also began exercising four to six times a week. After a year, I lost over 50 pounds, and began training to compete in a triathlon. In September 2008, I completed my first triathlon, the L.A. Triathlon, and I completed my first Half Ironman this summer. In total, I lost 120 pounds over two years. The Team Herbalife Fitness Center was probably the largest factor in my first year of weight loss. During that time, I would not have been able to stay committed to exercise without the convenience of the on-site facility. Herbalife’s commitment to health and wellness, along with the support of my management team and co-workers, helped me achieve my weight-loss goals!*†

The Global Creative Design Team Brings Big Projects to Life H E R B A L I F E

FA M I LY

F O U N D AT I O N

With Herbalife’s sponsorship of two of the biggest names in auto racing, E.J. Viso and Townsend Bell, came some big and exciting projects. Design Manager Ron Romero began by redesigning E.J.’s helmet and gave it a fresh, new look and feel. Ron then extended this new look to E.J.’s umbrella and water bottle. From there, Senior Designer Roger Dela Rosa created the Herbalife Racing logo, which was added to Townsend Bell’s and E.J. Viso’s racing cars, fire suits and helmets. A prestigious London design firm developed the initial design, which, was then modified by the global creative design team.

Racing Against the Clock The design of IndyCar veteran Townsend’s racing car was literally a race against the clock – the team had just two days. Then, within a four-day timeframe, the team designed and branded his racing fire suit, helmet and the uniforms of his crew. “The tight deadlines created a good kind of pressure,” explains Ron. “Everyone really stepped up to the plate and did a great job.” Brian McKinley, director of corporate alliances, coordinated the sponsorships and Hal Apple, director of creative services, offered his expertise as well. They received creative input from Michael Johnson to keep the process flowing. “Michael had a vision,” says Ron. “And it was our job to focus and bring that vision to life.” Ron summed up how the team made everything come together so seamlessly. “Our team is very professional,” he says. “We’re small in number, but we produce big results.”

Creating sleek, great-looking designs under tight deadlines might cause some teams to crack under pressure. Not so for our global creative design team, which has recently undertaken two high-profile projects that have helped propel the Herbalife name around the world.

The Great Wall of Herbalife Another mega-project the global creative design team recently tackled was the repurposing of our Herbalife History Wall. The original wall is located at L.A. Live and shows a timeline of our growth since our inception in 1980. The visually impressive wall, designed by Global Creative Design Manager Marcela Murillo, is nearly 40 feet long and six feet high. Lisa White, manager of print production, was asked by members of the Russian team, Olga Bestcennaya, managing director of Russia, and Galina Turetskayato, marketing coordinator to reformat the wall for the opening of the sales center in Rostov-on-don, Russia. "It was one of the most unique projects I've been given,” says Lisa. “I love typography, so it was great to be able to do something in the Russian language." The Russian wall is significantly smaller, so it required meticulously changing the dimensions of the artwork to fit the new space, as well as translating all the copy. "There were a tremendous amount of details, and it was a challenge to reconfigure everything,” explains Lisa. “It involved dealing with lots of math while still being artistic."

Oracle — All Aboard!

14 | insideherbalife


“... processing over 650,000 orders a month, and climbing.” What looked like an insurmountable effort in January 2008, is now almost flawlessly complete. The Oracle applications suite is being successfully implemented worldwide, bringing every Herbalife market onto the same standardized business system. We are now processing over 650,000 orders a month, and climbing. Our single source for all Distributor, order, supply chain and financial management functions, Oracle is globally unifying operational and customer support processes. Each regional launch required a dedicated implementation team of about 150-200 people, consisting of information technology (IT) employees and outside technical consultants, working with regional business teams. A key success factor was everyone working hand in hand, from drafting the initial system requirements to testing the final solution. The business teams were headed by regional leads – Silvia Ramirez, Mexico; Frank Lamberti, South and Central America; Jennifer Loo, Asia Pacific; and Paul Kniepstra, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) – who worked closely with the Herbalife Order Management for the Enterprise (HOME) program management team, lead by Chris Morris of IT PMO, to drive implementation in each region. The entire process was a great example of Team Herbalife in action – regional units working side by side with corporate employees to get the job done. The knowledge sharing and the support provided from one region to the next during the final testing cycle was invaluable – especially when the time came for the last launch in EMEA, which had more than four times the markets (57) of any other region, each with its own set of intricacies. For the EMEA launch, it took all four teams joining forces, with a ‘whatever it takes’ attitude, to make the implementation a success. The testing phase alone lasted an incredible 16 weeks, with employees around the globe sacrificing nights and weekends to get the job done. Despite the magnitude of this effort, the EMEA launch was the smoothest of the four – another clear demonstration of the value of teamwork. A project of this size inevitably incites some stressful times. But the team always remained calm and professional. Thanks to their efforts, we now have the foundation to provide better business intelligence to our Distributors, and open up new markets on a consistent system.

Healthy Skin

Is Beautiful Skin Interview with Jacquie Carter For over a decade, our Manager of Worldwide Product Training Jacquie Carter has been the go-to person for everything Personal Care | Outer Nutrition. Distributors all across the globe have benefited from her insightful knowledge and inspirational training techniques. We had the opportunity to catch up with Jacquie on her way to Brazil to ask her about some of the important fundamentals to achieving and maintaining a healthy skin. Does the health of our skin affect our body’s overall health? The skin is the largest living organ of the body and acts as our first line of defense against chemical, physical and environmental attacks. Many factors in our daily lives have the potential to cause damage to our skin: unprotected sun exposure, a thinning ozone layer, pollution, more stress in our lives then ever before and a poor diet. Each one of these affects not only how our skin looks but the rate at which it ages.

What steps can we take to avoid and/or reverse skin damage? Fundamentally, skincare is proper nutrition for the skin – cleansing, moisturizing and using SPF, which are the necessary components that everyone knows. Adding a daily infusion of key vitamins, minerals and other nutritious elements, which is what our company’s skincare line is designed to do, nurtures this very special organ at an even higher level.

So, even with a healthy diet, do we still need to use skincare products? Because our skin is our first line of defense, protection through proper diet and supplements – which work from the inside, out – used in conjunction with Herbalife® Personal Care | Outer Nutrition skincare products – which work from the outside, in – is the total nutrition solution that maximizes antioxidant protection and minimizes damage from free radicals. Put simply, to achieve beautiful, younger-looking skin, you must employ both a healthy diet and a healthy skincare regimen.

Personal Care | Outer Nutrition

Is SPF only necessary when spending time in the sun? No. The sun emits two types of potentially damaging rays: UVB, which can burn your skin, and UVA, which can age your skin. Not only can these rays penetrate through clouds, glass and certain articles of clothing, they can also bounce off concrete, sand, water, snow, even the sides of buildings, to reach your skin even when you have taken cover in the shade.

At what age should we begin the use of anti-aging products? Well, there are two types of skin-aging considerations: chronological and environmental. Chronological aging is what happens naturally as we get older – collagen loss, fat loss, gravity, hormonal changes, etc. Environmental aging is about lifestyle. Things like lack of sleep, stress, drinking too much alcohol, unprotected sun exposure, smoking, pollution and diet, all affect the rate at which our skin ages. Therefore, I believe in taking a proactive stance against any and all signs of aging before they appear.

What makes Herbalife® skincare products so unique? The development of our company’s entire Personal Care | Outer Nutrition line is based on the same nutritional principles applied to our inner nutrition products – using cutting-edge science to harmonize antioxidant vitamins, nutrients and botanical blends to support the revitalization and continued maintenance of healthy skin. And fortunately for us, healthy skin is beautiful skin!

“We are so proud of our colleagues and are thrilled to follow their example!” – Anna Shaikina, Marketing Department – Russia, Ukraine

Employees in Russia Help Change People’s Lives Since 1989, the Udelnaya Orphanage in Moscow, Russia, has provided a number of services, shelter and support to abandoned children. The organization’s extraordinary commitment to helping children in need made Udelnaya a natural candidate to join Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), becoming the location of HFF’s Casa Herbalife program in Russia. Since the Casa Herbalife program launch in 2007, Herbalife staff and Distributors in the region have formed unbreakable bonds with the children who call Udelnaya home. Our team in Russia has enjoyed numerous holidays, outings and informal visits with the children; they bring gifts, nutritious treats and huge doses of love along with them. The dedication of our staff members in Russia has inspired independent fundraising and increased participation amongst the Distributors in the region, so much so that Russia is now one of few, select countries that support two HFF Casa Herbalife programs. Everyone has pitched in to make the Casa Herbalife programs in Russia a huge success. Our information technology (IT) team members have taught the children about the Internet – even raising funds to install Internet service lines in the orphanage so that communication with the children is not limited to face-to-face visits. Staff members with a passion for dance and theater have conducted lessons and performed at the orphanage. Staff members have collected regular, small contributions amongst themselves to afford trips to the movies for the teenagers, and help those becoming independent to purchase necessities for their new homes outside of Udelnaya. Our colleagues in Russia know the true meaning of charity, and they are committed to making their community a better place to live and work. Together, we are changing children’s lives.

From the Expert Luigi Gratton, M.P. H., Vice President of Medical Affairs and Education

When it comes to working out, we often hear conflicting opinions about how to achieve optimum results. Luigi Gratton, vice president of medical affairs and education, answers some of the most commonly asked workout questions. DO WE LOSE MUSCLE AS WE AGE? IF SO, CAN THAT BE PREVENTED? As we age, we naturally lose muscle. Starting at about age 30, we lose three percent of our total muscle mass every 10 years. Exercising and sufficient daily protein intake helps to slow this process. IS IT BETTER TO WORK OUT IN THE MORNING OR AT NIGHT? It’s best to work out when you are most realistically inclined to do so. More than anything, I think it comes down to personal preference and schedule. Whatever you decide, try to form a habit and maintain it. Some prefer to exercise in the morning rather than after a hard day’s work. Plus, exercising at night can keep you awake due to the burst of energy you often get after a good workout. WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT, CARDIO OR STRENGTH TRAINING? SHOULD I DO ONE BEFORE THE OTHER? Both being equally important, I would schedule the same amount of time for each. Cardio provides health benefits for your cardiovascular system; strength training helps burn fat and builds strong muscles. It doesn’t matter which you do first. HOW MANY DAYS PER WEEK SHOULD I WORK OUT? On average, I would say you should exercise at least three to five days a week. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends resistance training at least two days per week to build healthy bones and muscles. A minimum of 15 minutes of cardio can be performed every day for those who are ambitious. HOW IMPORTANT IS KEEPING GOOD FORM WHEN STRENGTH TRAINING? Very important. Multiple repetitions can make you prone to injury when you tire and let go of your form. To prevent this from happening, look in the mirror and perform slow, controlled movements. HOW CAN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS BREATHING BECOME SO CONFUSING? WHEN DO I INHALE AND WHEN DO I EXHALE? Exhale on the power stroke (or the “exertion” – the most challenging part of the movement). Inhale on the easier part. A simple way to remember this is, “exs” – exhale when you exert. Let your breathing dictate the speed and pace of your exercises. If you ever feel out of breath, slow down. SHOULD I FUEL UP BEFORE OR AFTER A WORKOUT? It’s important to fuel up before and after you exercise and to keep yourself adequately hydrated throughout. A good approach is to drink a moderately caffeinated beverage, like Liftoff® or Herbal Tea Concentrate, about 30 minutes before your workout. After your workout, a recovery shake is a great way to get 20 to 25 grams of protein back into your system to help build and maintain healthy muscles. IS STRETCHING IMPORTANT? Absolutely! Loosening up your muscles through overall stretching techniques reduces your risk of injury. Ideally, it’s best to stretch before and after your workout. WHICH MUSCLES SHOULD I FOCUS ON MOST? Focusing on your larger muscles will give you the most bang for your efforts. The larger the muscle, the more metabolic the benefit, and the bigger payoff you receive in the area of weight management. Focusing on the following muscle groups will typically yield the best results: chest, back, biceps, triceps, abs and legs. To develop an even musculature, make sure to work out both your upper and lower body. HOW OFTEN CAN I EXERCISE MY ABDOMINAL MUSCLES? Because abs are so resilient, you can actually work them out every day, Strengthening these core muscles helps you to maintain good posture, balance and helps to reduce the risk of back problems. 22 | insideherbalife
