24FIT Trains Your Body To Burn Fat Instead Of Carbohydrates
The Herbalife24FIT work out program was developed by Herbalife with the help of Robert Forster, a well-known physical therapist and performance specialist. He has trained some of the world’s finest athletes.
24FIT is a 24-week program, designed to build your fitness in an effective and sustainable way. This home-fitness system utilizes periodization principles to systematically vary exercises and intensity, helping to achieve maximum physical adaptation.
24Fit trains your body to burn fat instead of carbohydrates for more efficient energy usage. It makes you a “better butter burner.”
Its a 24-week program, divided into three phases, each lasting eight weeks. Phase 1 – Stability Phase 2 – Strength Phase 3 – Power. Over the course of each eight-week phase, you will be alternating between two types of workouts:
- Strength Training Workouts will focus on your physical structure, your muscles, bones, joints and connective tissue.
- Metabolic Workouts will improve your metabolism (how your body burns calories).
Road Racing Cyclist Review Of Herbalife 24
“Throughout my cycling career I’ve used a wide range of energy and recovery products from a variety of manufacturers. I can safely say that the Herbalife 24Nutrition range is the best I’ve used, by a significant margin. The range covers all bases for riding, recovering and even healthy snacks and meal substitutes.”
The Herbalife 24 range, everything the athlete needs in the course of a day. Hey, is that why it’s called 24?
A typical training ride for me is somewhere between three and five hours so I start my day with a bowl of porridge supplemented with a few scoops of the Herbalife Formula 1 Sport powder (as suggested by Monsieur Kay, sous-chef at Maison d’Reid Parc). I take two bottles on the ride, if it’s a long ride I fill both with Herbalife Prolong (a 7:1 carb to protein formulation that increases endurance whilst reducing fatigue and muscle damage) or, for a shorter ride, one bottle with Prolong and the other with Herbalife Hydrate (an isotonic formulation of minerals and electrolytes to replace those lost through sweat). I also take two of the Herbalife Protein bars which help to prevent me from feeling empty and are a great reward for completing any intervals in my training session.
A little will get you a surprisingly long way. Note the additional sachets of Hydrate which can be used if an extra water stop is required while on the road.
Once back from the ride I use my Herbalife 24 Protein Shaker (with whisk ball for easy mixing – genius!) to mix up a combination of Rebuild Endurance and Rebuild Strength – I feel this gives me the best combination of muscle repair and glycogen replacement without unwanted bulk. Incidentally the two products combine to give a lovely chocolate vanilla flavour.”

Nitric Oxide Supplement For Cycling
One of the key things to consider when cycling is getting nutrients and oxygen to your muscles. Without this oxygen and nutrition, your body becomes vulnerable to fatigue and inefficient recovery.
Nitric Oxide is the natural performance booster that strengthens your heart, lungs, and nerves, along with every cell in your body. It also allows you to prolong your exercise, and prolonged exercise increases NO levels in your body. It’s a virtuous cycle that can lead to improved athletic performance and better health.
For the cyclist seeking enhance performance, endurance and strength, as well as faster recovery, the availability of Nitric Oxide in the body is critically important. As any endurance athlete can tell you, a mountain bike race or road race or other long-distance event becomes a competition between body parts over demand for the blood supply. The skin wants the blood circulating to dissipate heat, but the muscles are screaming for the oxygen and nutrients that the blood carries. Meanwhile, the stomach needs blood to digest food and make those nutrients available in the first place. It’s not hard to see how Nitric Oxide, with its ability to increase circulation, would be critical to athletic performance.
Nitric Oxide is a short-lived, gaseous molecule that is produced in your cells. Once released into the bloodstream, it signals the body to perform certain functions such as vasodilatation opening up the blood vessels and capillaries to increase blood flow and deliver oxygen and critical nutrients throughout your body at the time it needs them most.
But as additional research is beginning to show us, NO doesn’t stop with cardiovascular benefits. It now appears that Nitric Oxide is the “master signaling molecule” throughout the body and that maintaining sufficient levels through exercise and nutrition not only improves cardiovascular condition but also optimizes the function of every body system; this leads to superior athletic results and greater wellness, quality of life, and even longevity.
Nobel Laureate in Medicine Dr. Louis Ignarro and Naturopathic Physician Dr. Andrew Myers have written a new book about about supplementation for athletic performance:
