Musicians Tune Up
Working as a professional musician does demand a high level of fitness.
You may not need the skills of a sprinter or a boxer (other than when chasing a promoter or agent who has run off without paying) but you DO need:
-
•To maintain extraordinary concentration and focus
-
•To be mentally and physically flexible
-
• To have a body that feels comfortable even when performing extremely accurate and complex actions over an extended period of time.
Unless you are very successful or very lucky, you will have to hump your gear from place to place, you will have to cope with disturbed sleep patterns (late gigs, early sessions or teaching) and of course, the dreaded ‘on-tour-itis’.
On tour, in addition to most of the challenges listed above, you will be working unbelievably hard. When performing, you will be burning energy like a marathon runner, in between performing you will be rehearsing, travelling, maintaining yourself and if you are lucky, sleeping. Even then, when snoozing in a hotel bed (or propped up on the back seat of a Transit) you will be subconsciously rehearsing and consolidating your performance.
You might arrive at a venue, with no time to eat, or at a hotel after the chef has gone home. There may be no food, or perhaps worse… junk. After a few days of this, you feel lousy and may have fallen out with your fellow musicians who feel as bad as you do. You come down with a cold.
Despite the cold you find you are drinking and smoking more to try to find some comfort. You may start using some other substances just to keep going. You’ve developed a rather nasty cough.
When you finally get home, you’ve lost significant muscle mass and you look so haggard that your own mother doesn’t recognise you (this actually happened to my friend, drummer Roger Hempsall). To top it all off, you’ve actually put ON fat around the middle. This happened to Gary Skillman, road manager with the Who. When he got home, his family dubbed him ‘The Beanpole with the Gut’… the price of fame!
Fortunately, there is a better way.
Herbalife Formulas 1,2, 3 + Fibre & Herbs will provide every nutrient necessary to give you optimal health and performance, along with lots of protein and negligible fat. It will stabilise your blood sugar level which will make you feel good, feel alert and help you to maintain concentration. World class football teams Barcelona and David Beckham’s LA Galaxy are using Herbalife for this very reason.
If your adrenal system still gets a bit out of whack because you are working strange hours (you feel flat spots, jangly hyper spots or even both simultaneously) Herbalife NRG will soon rebalance it.

Herbalife is the safest and most effective way to control weight, even for diabetics.
Florafibre will restock your guts with friendly bacteria, winkle out and remove any unwanted fungal residents, help you absorb nutrients better and get things moving. In combination with soothing Herbal Aloe Juice, it will create the positive condition which will encourage your IBS or Diverticulitis to clear up.
Rose Ox, a powerful cascade antioxidant, will scavenge free radicals, promoting cellular health and respiration, giving you more stamina, boosting your immune system and preventing heart disease.
Herbalifeline provides the complete range of more than twenty different Omega 3 fatty acids (most ‘health store’ products contain only two or three). Independent studies have shown these nutrients make a significant positive difference to cardio-vascular health and prevent rheumatoid arthritis into the bargain.
As the wife of a musician, I know a lot of what musicians go through, and I know how to deal with those challenges.
I can make a difference to your health and success.
I also understand that most musicians are not terribly well off.
