All right, well, again, good evening, everyone. And welcome to our Wednesday night IsaBody Challenge support call with Isagenix. My name is Kiersty Cote, your host, and a lot of fun to be here with you tonight. You are going to be learning a lot. We have some amazing information to cover. And of course, I would love to introduce our host for tonight. And he’ll bring on our special guest. But I’d like to turn the time over to Frank Felker. He is director of field communications within Isagenix. And just a little bit about his background, if you’re brand new to Isagenix, Frank was personally brought into our corporate team by Jim and Kathy Coover, our co-founders of Isagenix. He has over 30 years experience when it comes to helping businesses increase their sales by helping them to connect and really share their greatness of their products, their services. He has worked on several projects so far since he’s joined us back in September of 2008. So he’s been with us a little over half a year now. He’s an amazing man. We’re very excited to have him a part of our Isagenix family. So with that, good evening, Frank. And I’ll turn this time over to you.

>> Thank you very much, Kiersty, and thank you for that nice introduction. Well, I appreciate everybody joining us on the line tonight to do our IsaBody Challenge support call. We have a very special guest on the line with us tonight to talk about how you can use an exercise regiment to help support your goals and increase your results through the course of the challenge.

With all that having been said, obviously Shane is an expert when it comes to fitness and physiology. And we’re obviously very blessed to have him as a member of the Isagenix family. And I’m personally very pleased that he agreed to join us on the phone tonight. Shane, are you there?

>> Yes, sir, I am here, Frank.

>> Thank you again for coming on the line with us. I would really like to get to the crux of our topic tonight, as far as how people can use exercise to help support their goals in the IsaBody Challenge. But I’m very intrigued at how a person with your level of expertise in nutrition and physiology was originally introduced to Isagenix.

>> Well, you know, it’s a wonderful story because it’s made such a life-changing, I guess partake in our family. That’s really how I came to be a part of the Isagenix family. I never really had a big belief in supplementation. It was something that I tried in college, as far as trying to gain weight and lean muscle mass, and [inaudible] never worked, for me, the way that I wanted it to. So it was really kind of a negative stigmatism that I had with everything else out there in the market. You know, being in the fitness industry, you see everything. And it just doesn’t seem right. Companies have been proven to not have in their products what they say is in their products.

>> Oh, really?

>> I was very skeptical. And that was really kind of a big wall for me. So for me, it took a life-changing moment, and my wife, we have four beautiful children. And as women know, once they have whether one baby or four babies, they’re bodies are changed. And they have changed hormonally, they have changed physically as far as appearance looks. And it’s just not as easy to get their body back in balance. Their bodies are very out of balance, as we shall say.

>> Sure.

>> And it was something that we were definitely struggling with because we were just trying to find that right fix. And, you know, as a husband, you want to help. But then as a professional, you want to help also. And I wasn’t able to do either for my wife. It was very frustrating for me. And at some point after beating your head against the wall, you kind of figure, you know what? This isn’t working. And we had a close family friend approach us with Isagenix. I actually turned them down the first the time. And three months later, they came back. And we were open to it the next time because we had, you know, like I said, kind of done everything that we thought we could do to make changes. And we had been doing things prior to that for a long time and just were never getting where we wanted. So we were open to it. And again, Frank, being skeptical, like I was, I did not pay for my first month. They had to literally give it to me for free because I was so skeptical about spending my money on something I just felt like wasn’t going to work.

>> Well, being that you’ve now grown to a Crystal Executive in 2 Star Golden Circle. It sounds like they made a good investment that month.

>> That’s exactly right. And that’s what I just–you know, that’s actually part of my advice for some people, is just, you know what? It’s worth the canister of shay [phonetic] to give it away for free, to let somebody actually truly see what it can do for them. And that’s what they did. They literally gave me about three weeks worth of a 30-day system for my wife to use. Of course, I didn’t feel like I needed it. And she released 20 pounds in that first little system that we had. And it completely changed her physique, changed her outlook, changed her mental capacity. I mean, things happen that we don’t know how to explain, Frank. But let’s put it this way. I got my life back. And I got a life that, it was phenomenal.

So there went a light bulb off in my head. Being a professional, I don’t feel like I know it all, by any means. So I’m open to learning new things. And I definitely saw an opportunity to learn something new. And that was the area of cleansing and understanding nutrition more from the supplementation side. So I did my due diligence of researching and looking at John Anderson and looking at Jim and Kathy Coover and looking at the company of Isagenix and where it was going and what it was doing. And you know what I love about it? That it’s not just one bottle. It’s not just the Ionix Supreme, you know? It’s not just a pill. It’s a whole system. And that makes complete sense to me. I mean, it makes complete sense to me. You know, we’re not replacing everything. We’re just incorporating it into our lifestyle. And that’s what I love about it.

>> Sure. And, you know, that’s an interesting point that you make, that it’s not just the products, it’s the program. And using the products as directed in the sequence and frequency that the program directs, that’s when people have the greatest results. In a first of our IsaBody Challenge calls, I interviewed Mark Macey who won the challenge in 2007. And it was interesting to me. I was trying to squeeze out of him, what was your secret? And he seemed a little non-plus. And he said, the secret is, do it the way you were told to do it. That’s what I did. So I agree with you that it is interesting. And, you know, it does present a little bit of a challenge, as I’m sure you would agree when you’re sharing with people, that there are a variety of elements to it. And sometimes people get a little bogged down with all the different steps involved.

>> Well, you know, they can be sometimes. You open up a 30-day kit and you put it in front of somebody, and people go, whoa, you know? Like wow, that’s a lot of stuff, you know? And I’m like, give me five minutes, and we’ll make it very easy, you know? Once you understand the system, once you understand the program, then it’s like, oh, okay, now I get it, now it’s easy, now I see how it works. That’s why, you know, it’s an investment with somebody. And that’s what I love about it because this isn’t something that you just throw at somebody and say, have fun, you know? Really, you invest into that individual.

People know that when I start them on Isagenix, I meet with most, I would say at least 90% of the individuals a start on Isagenix, we have a sit down, face-to-face meeting, and we go over each one of the products. And we talk about how they work and what they’re for and then options that they can do. Because, you know, the other thing, Frank, is that a 30-day system can be done so many different ways, you know? I have professional athletes that are 330 pounds linemen that are doing a 30-day system. And then I have women that are 125, 130 pounds that are doing a 30-day system. So now tell me how that works. Well, the nice thing is, there’s flexibility. This isn’t a one size fits all like method. It’s basically you do it, but you do it in accordance to what works for your lifestyle. And it can be a weight gain system and it can be a weight loss system. And it can just be an overall healthy lifestyle system. So that’s the neat thing about it.

>> Well, I have a number of other questions related to that and your career. But I do want to let people who have called in to listen about how to incorporate exercise into their IsaBody Challenge routine, gained from your experience on that topic. Now, let’s just assume, as you said, you know, you’ve got people, professional athletes, and people who might be completely out of shape and hanging onto some extra weight that they want to release. Let’s just assume, for a moment, that we’re talking about somebody who’s looking to release, I don’t know, 25 to 35 pounds and gain muscle tone and increase their cardiovascular output and so forth through the course of the challenge. What type of exercise regiment would you recommend for someone who maybe hasn’t exercised in quite a long time, and obviously you don’t want them to overdo it right out of the gate?

>> Well, and that’s really, that’s a great question, because you get that a lot. And people have good intentions. But when it comes down to the end of the day, they either are bogged down or they’re too tired or they’ve got too much on their mind to think about doing exercise because they don’t want to join a gym or they don’t have any equipment at home or they’re too afraid to go to the gym because they don’t know what to do. There’s just a lot of what-ifs and kind of how-do-you, you know, things that come up, when it’s very simple and easy.

That’s what I love about my style of training and what I do with a lot of my professional athletes and what I do with my average clientele is think about what you carry around all day long. And even for those individuals that have more than that 25, 30 pounds to lose, think about people that have 50, 60, 100 pounds to lose, they’re carrying around a lot of weight. Now, that weight can be used as an advantage to them, okay? Even somebody for myself, I still use my own body weight as my personal gym. So I have my personal gym with me all day long 24/7. Whether I’m traveling, whether I’m at the gym, or whether I’m just around the house, that’s the nice thing about it. You can take your body weight and you can put it in different positions, whether, if we think about it, we think about some simple system techniques that we can do. And it would take like, you know, a push-up, okay, well some people that have a lot of weight that they’re carrying just say, well, I just can’t do push-ups, I have too much weight. Well, think about your countertop and leaning into your countertop. You can do what we call an incline push-up. Now, that’s one way to start. And then as you get better and you start to decrease, and whether it be weight loss or you increase in muscle mass and getting stronger, you then take your body level down to a more horizontal position. So let’s say now you go to the kitchen table, then you go to the kitchen chair, then you go to the floor, and you work your way down to that complete horizontal push-up position.

>> Well, that’s great.

>> Those are progressions that are so easy and simple to do. Now, let’s think about pulling. Well, there’s a lot of different ways to pull. And I actually wrote an article on partner pulling or partner exercising with the Cooper Aerobics Center. And it was a very easy concept of getting people to understand how they can work out anywhere, anytime with a partner. And a simple thing to do is just take a towel, think about having a towel, and you put one person on each end of the towel, and you get in what we call a split stance, so that’s one foot forward and one food back, like you’re doing a lunge. And then one individual pulls on the other, pulls on one end of the towel, while the other individual resists that person. So that’s a pulling exercise. And that’s a very simple, easy alternative that we’re also engaging what we call core, okay? That’s activating the core, the abdominals, the back, the transverse, the internal, external obliques, those kind of things. Now, then if we think about a leg exercise, well, people say, well, it’s just too hard for me to squat. Well, I’ve got one simple answer to that. Do we all go to the bathroom? And most people say, well, obviously yes. Well, when you sit down on the toilet and you stand up from the toilet, that would be a squat, okay? Now, let’s just make that a simple understanding of okay, let’s do that 10 times. And that’s a workout.

>> I think if we could use a chair for that, though, Shane.

>> There you go. That would be a chair, exactly. But, I mean, that’s a simple way to understand.

>> Yeah, that’s great.

>> Because people think, well, I don’t squat. Well, you get in and out of the car. You sit down at the dinner table. And you sit down to go to the bathroom. So, I mean, there’s different ways of understanding what this concept is of exercise versus actual weight training. Now, remember, resistance training is just something that challenges the muscle tissue over a period of time. It doesn’t mean that you have to be on the leg press machine. It doesn’t have to mean that you have to do walking lunges or hold any massive amount of weight. It’s just something that challenges the muscle tissue.

>> Let me interrupt you for just one second. Now, these are all, we talked about before, like isometric type exercises that don’t involve a weight machine. But it is resistance. But also, this is not necessarily cardiovascular type exercise. It’s resistance training. And this is what you would recommend for people in this condition.

>> Well, and actually, Frank, it is, can be–let’s put it this way. It can be cardiovascular too at the same time. That’s the other thing I love about this training method because we make it a circuit now, okay?

>> All right.

>> So you do a push. Then you do a pull. Then you do a leg. And then we do a core exercise. And you can do the core, like we said, isometric. Isometric would be like holding a contracted steak, holding something that’s really tense, you’re not moving. If you’re moving, it’s called concentric, eccentric movement. That’s going for a range of motion.

>> Okay, all right.

>> Okay? Isometric would be like doing a bicep curl and just holding that flexing position as tight as you can, okay?

>> All right.

>> So you do that, and you keep a constant circuit going. Now, you’re working on strength, but you’re also working on strength endurance. And then if you measure your heart rate throughout that routine, your heart rate is even elevated too. So what do we consider cardiovascular? Cardiovascular is anything that increases the heart rate for a period of 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the individual and where they are. So what are we also accomplishing? We’re also accomplishing cardiovascular. So there in one simple easy 30-minute routine, you get strength, strength endurance, and cardiovascular, all by making it a circuit training style. So you get what you call active rest. You’re actively resting your chest while you’re doing a back exercise. You’re actively resting your upper body while you’re doing a lower body exercise. So that’s really where a lot of the, kind of the whole epiphany comes from when people understand, oh, I can work out, and I can still tone and tighten my muscles without having to go to a gym or do the things that I feel uncomfortable doing on a daily basis. Does that make sense?

>> Oh, yes, absolutely. And so also then, I believe we were talking earlier about how this can have a very significant increase in a person’s metabolic rate and the amount of calories they might burn in a given day.

>> Right, that’s exactly right. And, you know, a lot of people think, well, I just need to go run, I need to go run, I need to get on the stair stepper, I need to do the elliptical. You know, people have such a misunderstanding of that because that’s where they think all the people lose the weight. Well, actually, more individuals, you can actually burn more calories by resistance training. And again, remember, resistance training is not the Arnold Schwarzenegger in the gym doing the bodybuilding type workouts. Resistance training, exactly, is what I just described; basically challenging the muscle tissue through a variety of different exercises on a continual basis. If you resistance train for 30 to 45 minutes, you will have an increased metabolic burning zone of up to four to five hours after training. If you do cardiovascular for 30 to 45 minutes, your metabolic zone of burning at a higher rate is only 30 to 45 minutes after that.

>> Wow.

>> So that’s the beauty of it. You are still burning higher percentage of calories after a resistance training session as you would have done prior to doing a cardiovascular training session.

>> Now, I want to make sure that people listening understand the circuit that you’re talking about. Would you recommend–as I remember years ago, there was talk about starting with larger muscles and working your way down to the smaller muscles. Or what order would you recommend people do these exercises in?

>> Well, that’s basically exactly right. You basically think of working inner to outer, okay? And if you look at the inner, your inner parts of your body are your abdominals, your chest, your back, your hips, your butt, your quads, your thighs, those kind of things. Those are what we call your big muscle groups, your core muscle groups, okay? Now, then, as you go through your routine, then you work towards your smaller muscle groups. That’s kind of getting segmented. And I lot of the routine that I like to focus on, you know, if you’re going for that, that makes sense. But a lot of people don’t have time to say, well, I’m going to just work my quads today or I’m going to do just my biceps.

>> So maybe overcomplicating it?

>> Right, exactly. So the easiest way to do it is kind of the routine like I talked about. If I’ve got you in a push-up position, Frank, and you’re doing a push-up, what else are you having to tighten up when you’re doing a push-up?

>> The back of your legs, your stomach, all over the place.

>> All over the place, exactly. Because you just can’t relax the rest of the body as you’re trying to do a push-up. So you’re actively engaging, okay, you’re doing isometric with the rest of your body as your chest is going through concentric, eccentric movement. And that’s the beauty of it. Because as you even do a squat, you can’t relax your upper torso because your upper torso is designed to balance and stabilize you as you squat up and down. And the same thing goes for pulling. If you’re in a split stance and you’ve got one arm that’s reaching out and you’re pulling back with the other arm, then you understand that you’re having to twist and turn and isolate your legs and your core and everything else. So you’re basically getting a full body routine every time you exercise. And that’s the nice thing about it. I mean, I’m blessed enough that I have so many clients that I basically train people in 30-minute sessions. And everybody’s like, well, how do you get a workout in 30 minutes? I promise you I can get you a workout in 30 minutes. There’s not an issue.

>> I’d be fully stamped after 30 minutes with you, Shane. Well, let’s talk–and so then you would say that they should do the–in that order, push-ups, the squats and the pulls. And how many reps should they do? Just until they can’t do any more? What number of reps would you think? And then I take it they do the circuit over again until they’ve gone for 30 or 40 minutes?

>> Right, and basically what you’re looking at, as a beginner, you do anywhere between eight to ten reps as a beginner.

>> Okay.

>> And then even somebody that may be more deconditioned than that, they’re doing five to eight reps at the beginning, okay? Again, anything done for the first time, Frank, the body is going to go what we call through shock value, okay? And you’re going to be a little bit sore. It doesn’t matter whether you use a lot of weight or you used a little weight, it depends on the soreness of what you want whether you use a lot of weight or a little weight. But I’ll tell you, everybody, for the first time, always trains with just their body weight with me, and they’re always a little bit sore. They’re always like, wow, I feel that, you know? And we didn’t use any weight. And I’m like, that’s it, that’s the beauty of it. You didn’t even use any weight, and you’re still sore. So tell me that you’re not getting a workout. That’s where then as what we call an intermediate individual, then they’re working on more repetitions, which now they’re going to the 10 to 15 repetition range, and they’re doing two to three sets, where the beginner is doing only two sets.

>> Okay.

>> An advanced individual, advanced individuals are doing three sets of anywhere where 10 to 15 reps. And they’re also challenging themselves with a little bit more change in technique. Let’s say take a push-up now to what we call a tripod stance where you’re doing two arms and one leg. So you’re actually in kind of a three-point stance instead of a four-point stance. And that’s a little bit more challenging. And so you can actually–there’s a lot of different variations. But that’s just one instance of what you can do without having to do a whole lot more weight.

>> And you anticipate that somebody who was doing and following your regiment there would be able to see measurable or significant increase effectiveness of what they’re doing during the IsaBody Challenge?

>> Absolutely. If you’re not doing anything and you do something, no doubt you’re going to see a difference. If you’re already doing something and you want to take it a little bit notch up and you want to increase the opportunity of what you are doing, then I would encourage you to go to looking at doing four days, 30-minutes, of resistance training, and challenging yourself. And what I mean by challenging yourself is don’t go to failure. I’m not asking you to take your body to a complete failure state. But I’m saying, as you go to push weight, if you feel like you can do five more reps at the end of say a ten-rep routine, and you go, well, I did ten, but I think I could do five more, well then I would encourage you to either do the extra five or add an extra five pounds. And you should do that, you should always challenge yourself. Because our bodies are finely tuned machines, we know how to make it the easiest possible. Our body will not take another ounce of muscle tissue and put it to work if it doesn’t have to. It will only use what it needs to. That’s it. That’s just the simple fact. So what you have to constantly do is constantly be throwing a wrench in the machine.

You’ve got to be constantly giving the body something to go, whoa, this is something different, I better start firing all my muscle tissue and trying to figure out what he’s doing or what she’s doing. And that’s basically what I do. There’s 10 different ways you can do push-ups. And I do 10 different ways every week. Because I want my body to know that there is not a routine, as far as the exact way I’m going to be doing a push-up. They just know, my body knows it better fire all of its muscle tissue so that it can be ready for that next exercise.

>> Well, I think you’ve given us a really great and simple way to, and inexpensive, to incorporate exercise into what we’re doing with the IsaBody Challenge. I want to change gears just quickly before we sign off and talk a little bit about how you incorporate Isagenix products into your personal routine as a professional trainer and athlete, and how you’re incorporating it into the lives of other people whose bodies are at such a finely-tuned level. How is Isagenix being accepted into the athletic and training community? And how are you personally using it?

>> My personal use is I’m doing two shakes a day. And I do two meals a day. And then I usually do two snacks a day. So you hear most trainers talk about, well, you’re supposed to be eating six times a day, and you need to be getting all of those calories. And that’s really where I’ve incorporated Isagenix. I start Isagenix with my breakfast. And then I have a snack. And then I’ll usually have a small lunch. And it can range from having soup and salad to doing a small turkey sandwich to doing just anything that is healthy is usually my lunch. Then I’ll have another snack. And then I’ll usually from a shake midafternoon. And then I’ll have dinner for whatever my wife fixes. And like last night, my wife, she fixed, she grilled salmon, had sweet potato and green beans. So, I mean, that’s our lifestyle.

>> That sounds good.

>> It does, doesn’t it? So, I mean, that’s how I incorporate Isagenix. Now, on top of that, I also have the–I take all the vitamins. So I take the [inaudible] essentials, I take the antioxidants, I take the Sealight [phonetic], I take the IsaOmega Supreme, I take the digestive enzymes, drink my lunch and during my dinner. And then I–gosh, what else do I have? I mean, it’s a regiment that, I mean, our counter is full of Isagenix. That’s really–Ionix Supreme is one ounce in the morning and one ounce at night. And I do that to get all of the adaptogens because of letting my body deal with the stress of working out and just the stress of working all day and being on my feet for 16 to 18 hours during a day. I typically sleep about five hours at night, you know?

>> Wow.

>> And that’s my routine. My day starts at 4:00, 4:30 in the morning. My first client is at 5:00, 5:30. And then my day doesn’t usually end until around 6:00 at night. Come home, start, you know, hanging out with the kids and playing and doing homework and getting the kids ready for bed. And then, you know, it’s off to the computer to start doing Isagenix and following up with the orders in clientele and those kind of things. So that’s my personal use. Just as a follow-up note, where people see the most benefit of Isagenix with working out, you should always have what we call a post-recovery shake, which means you should have an IsaLean Shake within 45 minutes of doing your weight training session. That’s when you body is the most utilizing point of absorbing all the protein, minerals, aminoacids and products that are in the IsaLean Shake. So that is a very essential part of the program. And that’s what I always encourage people to do. My workouts tend to be midafternoon, sometimes in the morning, but I always follow that workout with an IsaLean Shake. That’s just my fix and that’s what I love about it.

>> And I imagine the way that it’s designed to be so easily digested and then absorbed at the cellular level means that that recovery and the protein going into your cells and muscle tissue occurs that much more readily.

>> That’s exactly right. That’s exactly right. And that’s what I love about it, you know? So then we start relating it to other individuals in the professional world. And to go back really quick, is the Want More Energy. The Want More Energy is always used during my workouts. I use the Electrolyte Drink for during workout times. So that’s a real big important thing. My professional athletes now, what they’re doing, it depends on if they’re going for overall total health and wellness. If they’re going for gaining lean muscle mass. And if they’re going for weight loss. Now, you can take a 330-pound defensive lineman or offensive tackle, and tell him, okay, two shakes a day and one meal, you know? And it won’t work. I’m sorry, but you just can’t do that. So the nice thing is there is definitely an opportunity to customize the program for them. And where I’ve seen the most benefit and where I’ve seen most guys stick with it is we do the two shakes a day. We do the two meals. And we also include IsaPro.

I have three, four products that I always include with my orders that I do myself personally and then I do with most of my athletes. It’s always the IsaPro, the Healthy Greens, the IsaFruits and the IsaCal. Those four products are just essential to the program that I feel like every athlete needs. And one of the things that we do with them is they’ll have what I call either a red shake in the morning or a green shake in the afternoon or vice versa. And then from that point, they incorporate the other products, the Ionix Supreme; I encourage them to go one in one like I do. And then to use the Electrolyte Drink during workouts like what I do. And then to use the IsaLean bars as kind of a snack throughout the day. And then to still go through and still do two meals. But we’re trying to limit the caloric intake a little bit more than what they’re typically used to. So we’re decreasing the caloric intake down a little bit, if they’re going for the weight loss side.

But then if it’s somebody that’s going for the overall healthiness and just overall lean muscle mass side, well then we go for the two shakes, two meals, two solid snacks, and see how they incorporate that and see how they feel with that. Now, let me tell you that it is constantly something that’s being adjusted. You know, we can say that this is how we’re starting them, but it may not be how they finish because of the adjustments that they have found that either work better for them or that they don’t like and they want to change something up. So you’re constantly mixing and matching areas to find what that right fit is for that individual. And, you know, I think one of my favorite sayings in Isagenix, and you’ll probably hear it more than anybody say it is Linny Heavens.  And he always talks about just put the product into your body. And you’ll know it’s working, you know? And that’s really true, you know?

>> It is. That’s certainly been my experience, Shane. I am no expertise in the nutrition or what have you. But I know. I can feel it. I use the products every day. And I know absolutely, at least I know my own body and my own nervous system. And I know that these products are having a profound effect on the way I feel and the energy level I have every day. And listen, I hate to cut you short. This is all excellent information. But we need to wrap this up. Is there any last piece of advice that you might have for people who are right in the middle of the challenge right now and maybe they’re going through a tough day or they’re trying to find a way to really make that breakthrough that they’re looking for as part of their IsaBody Challenge experience?

>> Well, I think so many people get focused on the cardiovascular aspect side of it. I want people to really take another chance, give themselves a second chance, and go for the resistance training side. Because so much can happen in such a short amount of time, one last example is that I have an individual that I’ve been working with for the last six weeks. We’ve incorporated a lot of the techniques that I’ve talked about, as far as training-wise goes. And we’ve also started her on a 30-day program. This is an individual I grew up with in high school. Haven’t seen her in 15 years. We put her on the Isagenix system. It’s been a little over six weeks ago. And in that timeframe, she has now released over 30 pounds in six weeks.

>> Wow. That’s great.

>> And she is doing phenomenal. And it’s because she’s incorporated resistance training, Isagenix, and an overall healthy lifestyle at the same time.

>> She must be really excited.

>> Oh, she is so pumped. She is so excited. We had an Isagenix meeting last night, and she was there, and so she looked phenomenal.

>> And I bet that’s very satisfying for you personally as well, Shane.

>> Well, that’s it, that’s the whole part of it. You get to see people change. And the physique, their overall physical and mental health has just been phenomenal.

>> That’s wonderful. Well, thank you again so much for being on the line with us tonight. And I want to remind everybody who’s listening that this call will be posted in your back office in the next day or so. So feel free to download it and share it with your friends. Thanks again, Shane. For Shane Freels, I’m Frank Felker from Isagenix. Thank you for listening. Good night.
