ELAINE WATKINS – 1st place Miss Model Fitness Bikini competition 2009

I am 23years old and live in Pretoria, South Africa.
My Herbalife products results are amazing! I had 4 knee operations in 1998 at the age of 18.
My specialist said I will never be able to run, do sports or strenuous exercise in gym.

I never really had a weight problem, but within 3 weeks on the Herbalife products, I lost 15cm and 6% body fat (down to 17%), I also gained lots of energy and vitality! I am also able to do any form of exercising in the gym, like kata-boxing, running on the treadmill and weight-training. I even started playing squash.

In July 2009 I started to train for the Miss Model Fitness Bikini competition held by WFF (World Fitness Federation). My very first competition (SA Novice) on 22 August 2009 – I came first place!
This type of training is highly intensive and since I have been using Herbalife products for 5 years, it was easy for my body to adapt quickly to the extensive training programme. My daily regime includes an hour and half training in the morning and an hour in the evening, 5 days a week and on Saturdays, one hour. I found Herbalife products extremely powerful to help me cope with my training.
As the type of diet (in food) one should follow for this type of competition is not completely balanced, the Herbalife products helped my body to stay in balance:

• Herbalife Shake F1, Protein Powder: meal replacement, low calorie nutritious food for fuel, refuel, repair and recovery;
• Multivitamin Complex: gives my body all the necessary vitamins and minerals it needs;
• Fibre & Herb: helps me to stay regular at all times;
• Joint Support: helps keep my joints supple;
• Herbalifeline: helps for blood flow, mood swings, protect against depression (that sometimes may occur when you train intensively);
• Roseox: boost my immune system, as intense training can have a effect on the immune system;
• Herbal Complex: helps to lose cm’s faster and helps with water retention;
• Thermojetics (5ml before every training session and another 2.5ml 2 x per day);
• Thermo Complete: (2 x 3 times per day) helps for cravings; The combination of the Thermojetics and Thermo Complete helped me to cut back my body fat from 17% to 13% and on the day of my competition my body fat was 9%. Note that this is not a healthy body fat for a woman, but it is the requirement for this specific competition.
• NRG: helps for mental focus. The physical weight-training demands that one’s mind has to be focused at all times;
• Tangkuei: helps for muscle cramps as it relaxes the muscles. Tang Kuei also helps relax stress related issues that may occur during tough competitions;
• Cell Activator: helps balance my body’s insulin levels and makes sure my body absorbs all the necessary nutrition for optimum performance;
• H3O Pro™ Isotonic Drink: helps avoid muscle cramps and on the day of the competition, replaced all the lost fluids (as on that day, no water intake is allowed).

I also participated in the North-Gauteng Provincials on 12th September 2009 where I was chosen to participate in the South-African championships on 23rd October – in order to qualify for the World championship in Russia in November 2009.
In the 5 years that I am using Herbalife products, I always knew that Herbalife are the best products on the market. But since I started with this intense training programme, I truly realized that I am giving my body the very best, thus my powerful results – and others are noticing.

I am also active in the Herbalife business and I had the privilege to travel to Germany in July 2007 with this company. That was the highlight of my life and I had an awesome time!
So, apart from giving me the most amazing results, Herbalife allows me to earn money while studying for a Fitness Specialist and Herbalife is definitely something I will continue to build once qualified.
This is all so exciting, and I truly want to thank Mark Hughes for his powerful words: “Your success is only limited by your own imagination and your hard work”. These words are my ultimate motivation every day, as it contributes to my success in living out my passion. Thank you Mark Hughes and thank you Herbalife!
