If you’re just starting out at the gym a full body routine is going to be your best way to go. You won’t have to spend 5-6 days and you’ll end up getting more bang for your buck. When putting together your routine remember to build strength in 6 fundamental primal human movements. You’ll want to have exercises where you: squat, lunge, hinge, push, pull, and carry. Scroll down Tyson's page Lift Performance do get some ideas. Remember to keep the weights light and practice good form when starting out. Slowly progress over time. Patience is a virtue, be consistent and you will see results. If you have any questions or want to book a complimentary fitness consultation shoot Tyson an email at [email protected] and you can discuss your fitness goals and how you can achieve them.

Sit down with a smoothie or salad, and scroll through these awesome photos from The 4th Annual Lawn Bowling Games Hosted by Conquest Cycling Club Benefiting the BC Cancer Foundation. Over $11,000 was raised this year! See you next year folks! Photos by the talented Laera Rosset.

Tips from Tyson of Lift Performance // Creatine increases the body’s ability to produce energy rapidly. With more energy, you can train harder and more often, produce faster results. Studies in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that muscle fibers grow when a person takes creatine, but this only works if you do, so make sure you’re hitting the weights. Creatine is one of the most studied supplements of all time and is 100% safe. Just be... sure you’re drinking enough water (2.5-3L daily please!). Unlike most supplements, you do not have to cycle off it and you don't need much for it to be effective. Just 5g post and pre-workout should do the trick. Of course, it’s up to you to figure out if creatine is right for you. But if you’re looking for a way to increase your energy in the gym and get stronger, consider creatine as an option. See more

Tips from Tyson of Lift Performance // Scientific research clearly indicates regular exercise of mild to moderate intensity (3-4x a week) produces happier, healthier, more productive people. It’s also been proven to reduce the risk of many illnesses and promote positive feelings, attitudes, and actions. That being said here are [9 reasons] why you should start lifting weights and start getting active.

Tip from Tyson of Lift Performance // Watercress, the healthiest vegetable you’re NOT eating! This sh#t is amazing and here's why. A study, conducted by Jennifer Di Noia of William Paterson University, looked at 17 important nutrients naturally occurring in food (fiber, protein, potassium, Vitamin A, B12, D) and calculated how much of those nutrients were found in a 100-calorie serving. While other leafy superfoods like kale and spinach got scores of 70-80 out of 100, water...cress topped the list with a score of 100 out of 100, making it the most nutrient dense vegetable of all. Take that kale! Regardless of what you’re eating, fresh fruit and vegetables should be a staple in your diet. Your body just works better when you nourish it with the right stuff. Your workouts become easier, your hormones balance, and you start feeling great! See more

Tips from Tyson of Lift Performance // Protein is one of three macronutrients required for the production of muscles. When working out, protein helps your muscles to heal quickly, preventing your body from overtraining. Overtraining is one of the leading causes of injury. Hands down the best way to get protein is through whole, natural, solid foods. That being said, sometimes it's hard to get enough protein through solid food. Ideally, you should eat .08-1g of... protein per pound of your current body weight. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you would need about 150g of protein every day. This is where protein powders come in handy. Drinking a shake post workout can help you hit your protein goals. It also aids in speeding up recovery, helping you lose weight, or just serve as a healthy snack. (Try the Seawall smoothie at Golden Choice Market) Not all protein powders are considered equal, so do your research before buying. I personally prefer KaizenNaturals vegan powder because it is one of the cleanest on the market. All in all, if you're looking to increase strength, maintain your metabolism, and gain lean muscle mass, consider incorporating more protein into your diet. See more

How about some corn on the cob for dinner tonight? Tip: Look for cobs with the husk intact. The husk should be green and fresh and conceal fine, silky threads. Kernels should be tightly packed, plump and smaller at the tips than in the middle (indicating young cobs). Cooking tip: Fill a large pot about 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and lemon juice, dissolving the sugar. Gently place ears of corn into boiling water, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the corn cook in the hot water until tender, about 10 minutes.

What a HUGE success! Over $11,000.00 raised at the 4th Annual #ConquestClubClassic Lawn Bowling Games! As always - stoked to have sponsored such an incredible event - here's to next year :)
