Unlock Your Fitness Potential With CBD
Are you gearing up for summer, diving into a new workout plan, or just someone passionate about fitness?
Well, guess what? Adding CBD to your daily routine might just be the secret ingredient to help you crush your fitness goals.
Ever heard of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans? They recommend adults clock in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week, plus a couple of days dedicated to muscle-strengthening activities. That’s at least a 30-minute workout, 5 days a week.
Now, while regular workouts are awesome for your overall well-being, they often come with their share of aches and fatigue. But fret not, because there are great ways to handle these post-workout blues like a pro.
CBD Kickstart in the Morning
Your journey to fitness empowerment can begin as early as your morning routine. Incorporating CBD helps support your body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which is responsible for maintaining balance and managing inflammation. Less inflammation translates to reduced pain, tightness, and soreness in your muscles and joints.
Consider starting your day with Citrus-C Gummies or a half dropper of the Essential Blend extract. These easy-to-use CBD options can set the stage for a less inflamed body, ensuring you're ready to tackle your workout regimen head-on.
CBD Pre-Workout Boost
Direct application of CBD on the skin offers quick relief, as it bypasses the metabolic process of ingested products. This makes topical CBD products an excellent choice for targeted relief, precisely where you need it the most.
Even applying the Relief Roll-On 15-30 minutes before your workout on sore or tight areas, may help prime your body for optimal performance.
CBD Post-Workout Recovery
After an intense workout session, prioritize muscle recovery with our Warming Blend Salve for stiff joints or muscles, and the Cooling Mint Salve for inflammation-related issues like swelling and puffiness. Massaging a small amount of salve onto troublesome areas may help alleviate muscle and joint soreness.
Take your recovery routine a step further with a soothing CBD-infused Epsom salt bath. Add a few drops of CBD extract - like our Essential Blend or Citrus Spice - to your bath for a calming experience that aids in muscle relaxation and recovery. We’ve got an easy-to-follow recipe here!
Enhancing Recovery with CBD Products
Following your bath or shower, indulge in the rejuvenating benefits of the RELIEF Hydro Lotion. Not only does it help nourish and hydrate your skin, but it also may help combat inflammation, making it ideal for overall body application.
Looking to take self-care to the next level? Opt for a full-body massage with the Everyday Essential Body Oil to help invigorate tired muscles and joints post-workout.
Embracing Fitness and CBD
Remember, embarking on a fitness journey doesn’t have to be complex. It is just important to get started!
Similarly, if you're new to CBD, take a gradual approach. Start with a low amount and monitor how your body responds. Everyone's CBD journey is unique, so take the time to discover the optimal amount for your needs. For more on what’s right for you, check out How Much CBD is Too Much?
