We LOVE fitness! There is nothing better than a rush of endorphin’s after an awesome workout!
Endorphins are morphine-like chemicals produced by the body that help diminish pain while triggering positive feelings.
They’re sometimes referred to as the brain’s “feel-good” chemicals, and are the body’s natural painkillers.
Endorphin is a combination of the words “endogenou” (produced within the body) and “morphine”
They’re released from the pituitary gland of the brain during periods of strenuous exercise, emotional stress, pain, and orgasm.
Endorphin’s help relieve pain and induce feelings of pleasure or euphoria.
Prior to us using essential oils, we would find that we were very sore especially after a workout like plyometrics.
Once we started incorporating our essential oils with our workouts, we were able to workout harder, for a longer period, and most importantly , our recovery time was much, much better and shorter!
Let’s start with our ‘Pre-Workout’!
At least 30 minutes before each workout, it is important to increase the amount of water you consume. Supplement this with your choice of NingXia Red for added nutrition, NingXia Nitro and Slique Tea to increase alertness, and a clear capsule with 4-6 drops of Lemongrass essential oil to get ready for your workout. These products work together to help improve energy and endurance and increase thermogenics in the body.
Immediately following this preparation, it is important to warm up the body to prepare your muscles for the workout. If your muscles are sore, gently rub a few drops of Peppermint essential oil onto the affected area to help soothe the minor discomfort. As with any workout regimen, a healthy diet and proper technique will help you achieve your fitness goals.
Lets talk a little bit more about Peppermint Essential Oil.
Peppermint – Fresh, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable, Peppermint essential oil’s scent invigorates the mind and senses, while inspiring a sense of peace. Used topically, Peppermint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, making it a favorite for sports massage and an important part of Young Living’s Raindrop Technique.
When your day is dragging—through a workout, class, or day at work—enjoy some Peppermint oil benefits by applying it to your head and neck. The refreshing aroma will give you a boost of positivity!
To apply: Rub a small amount over tired or sore muscles. Please use a carrier oil like organic coconut oil if you have sensitive skin.
Fitness – Your physical health affects everything you do and every area of your life. Fitness is about feeling good, looking good, being healthy, and being productive. It’s how you move your body and what you put into your body.
The INFUSED Fitness Inspired by Oola essential oil blend has been specially formulated to uplift, energize, and give you the inspiration to set and achieve your strength and fitness goals.
