For what ever they may be, I’d love to introduce to you a couple of amazing health boosters! I have a couple of extra of the following products in stock and I’d love to ship them to you for a reduced price! If you’re interested, please let me know! (For Canadian Residents Only!)
A high quality protein is super important for supporting your overall optimal health, especially for proper recovery after a workout or upon waking after a restful sleep!
Also this protein is super supportive of increased fat metabolism and improved cognitive functioning!
Please feel free to read up on this, it really is important! Do some research as well.

Sending love, and please take care of yourself!
What's your favourite sport to play?⚽️🏈
Whether it's your buns, guns, or core; you work on it!
Quick fact. Ready? Consuming a large amount of carbs prior to a workout will cause the body to use those as energy as supposed to dipping into its own carb stores in the liver.
More wonderful facts for you here, friend!
When it comes to doing exercise, there is no right or wrong way to do it! If you enjoy playing soccer, then do that! Or if you love going for a jog, then by all means, do it! One should not cage them self in the gym and tear themselves apart simply to look a certain way. You need to show yourself the love and care that you deserve, and really just get moving in a way that makes you genuinely happy!
Quick fact. Ready? After about 2 hours of prolonged training is when our body begins to dip into protein as 5-15% of our energy source. These proteins, in particular, are our BCAAs, which are stored in the muscles themselves.
Quick fact. Ready? Glutamine is a special amino acid that the body naturally produces and stores within muscle tissue. This AA helps with muscle recovery, muscle glycogen and protein synthesis, and helps to combat the increasing acidity that occurs during intense workouts. We get about 1-6 grams from high protein foods, however this is often times not enough for intense marathoners, weight lifters, are athletes of any kind.
Quick fact. Ready? When we workout at moderate intensities, the vessels in our skin dilate in order to send more blood to the surface and release heat from the body. However at high intensities, that blood is redirected towards the heart and working muscles to fuel their high levels of work. This leads to less thermoregulation, and thus a higher risk of overheating when working at very high intensities, especially in hot weather.
Quick fact. Ready? Fast twitch muscle fibres are actually larger in size than slow twitch muscle fibres. This is why athletes who are involved in more power producing movements; such as sprinters or discus throwers; have more muscle surface area than a endurance athletes, such as marathon runners.
Quick fact. Ready? When one becomes more aerobically fit, such as with prolonged endurance activities, one's body becomes more efficient at burning fat, as supposed to carbs, over a wider range of intensity outputs. This helps to preserve muscle glycogen, and thus helps to combat fatigue.
Quick fact. Ready? When exercising at higher intensities, one often begins to feel fatigued even once half of intramuscular glycogen stores have been depleted. Higher carb diets may help to delay this fatigue by replenishing these muscular energy storages.
Quick fact. Ready? During physical activity, there is a whole bad vasoconstriction, EXCEPT for at the working muscle itself. This dilation at the active muscles is caused by the metabolites released during contraction, and helps to redirect blood flow towards them.
Quick fact. Ready? One should notice performance improvements even within the first week after beginning aerobic/endurance training. Training affects occur fairly quickly. However, detraining occurs just as quickly with such aerobic activities.
Quick fact. Ready? Endurance training for a minimum of 5-6 hours every week can result in a physical enlargement of the heart itself known as Athlete's Heart Syndrome. The increase in size allows for the heart to pump out more blood with every beat, making it more efficient. This is the body's way of adapting to the increased oxygen demand being put on it during prolonged aerobic training. Now, who wouldn't want a bigger heart?
Quick fact. Ready? The intensity of a specific activity can often be conveyed through way of METS (Metabolic Equivalents). These are expressed in relation to one's Basil Metabolic Rate, which is why Exercise machines ask to input one's weight prior to exercise.
