Whether you’re on the field every day or you simply hit the gym a couple times a week to keep in shape, you want your workouts to be as effective as possible. The point of all that work is to hit your fitness goals, whatever your goals may be. CBD can help you get there. In pre-workout energy products, CBD can add focus to help you make the most of your reps. And after a grueling workout, CBD can help you recover faster, so you can get right back in the grind.
Today, we’ll take a look at what CBD is, and how CBD can benefit your training. We’ll also highlight some CBD workout products formulated to help you reach your fitness goals!
What Is CBD?
Let’s start with a brief refresher on what exactly CBD is. Cannabidiol (CBD, for short) is one of a group of chemical compounds generated by the cannabis plant, called cannabinoids. There are over 100 of these cannabinoid compounds, with CBD and THC being the most abundant. As such, they’re generally referred to as the two “major cannabinoids.” The CBD in our products comes from hemp, a low-THC form of cannabis that won’t get you high, but will deliver a bevy of wellness benefits.
How Does CBD Work?
Your body creates its own endocannabinoids, which are part of an endocannabinoid system (ECS). The endocannabinoid system signals to receptors in various systems and organs throughout the body, helping them maintain homeostasis, or balance. In doing this, the ECS helps the body regulate such vital functions as appetite, immunity, sleep, pain, stress, memory, motor control, mood, and more.
When you consume CBD, it mimics your body’s endocannabinoids, and signals to those same organs and systems, helping your body maintain homeostasis and regulate all of those important functions. This generates a wealth of wellness benefits and is the reason CBD has become such a popular health supplement. It’s also the reason many people use CBD for workouts.**
CBD for Pre-Workout Energy & Focus
One of CBD’s many benefits is a calming property that, interestingly enough, works well in morning or pre-workout energy products. Combined with the right energy-boosting ingredients, CBD can help to calm your mind without making you feel sluggish, giving you intense focus for your workouts.
Our CBD + CBG Morning Capsules are a great CBD focus product to take before workouts. These potent capsules combine CBD with energizing CBG (the “Mother of All Cannabinoids”), plus time-release caffeine, L-tyrosine for added focus, and other natural ingredients. Take two CBD capsules about 60 minutes before exercising to experience the full focus effects.
Our CBD Gummies for Focus & Energy are another great pre-workout supplement. With wellness-boosting CBD, plus energizing CBG and sharp PS, these gummies deliver laser-focused energy to get you through any workout.
You can also try our CBD + CBG Wellness Drops before your next workout. This CBD oil tincture can make a great addition to your morning smoothie, delivering CBD focus and CBG energy, plus health-boosting curcumin and coenzyme Q10. Or, try our CBD Focus Mushroom Drops with added CBG. These powerful drops combine broad spectrum CBD with CBG and a host of adaptogenic and nootropic mushrooms for laser focus and mental clarity, as well as a boost of energy.
CBD for Post-Workout Recovery
Recovery after your workout can be as important as the exercise itself. It’s crucial to heal as quickly as you can so you don’t lose your momentum. CBD can get you back in the grind in multiple ways.
CBD for Pain
CBD helps soothe discomfort and stress that your body can experience after intense exercise. CBD balms and creams penetrate your skin, delivering soothing relief straight to your joints and muscles. Our CBD Muscle & Joint Cream: Cooling Formula offers deep, penetrating relief with broad spectrum CBD, cool menthol, and other natural pain-relievers. Our CBG Muscle & Joint Cream: Heating Formula blends powerful CBG with broad spectrum CBD, muscle-warming camphor, and other natural ingredients, making it a great CBD pain cream for a post-workout rubdown. Likewise, our CBD Muscle & Joint Balm Stick is a gym bag must, warming and loosening your sore muscles with camphor and other pain-relieving ingredients. Or, relax your muscles in a soothing, post-workout soak with our CBD Bath Bombs or CBD Bath Salts.
CBD Oil for Sleep
Few things can heal your body more effectively than a good night’s sleep. Sleep allows your mind and body to shut down and mend themselves in ways that nothing else can. CBD’s calming properties make it a perfect base ingredient for sleep and relaxation products.
Our CBD Sleep Gummies combine calming CBD with other restful ingredients, including melatonin, passion flower, chamomile, lemon balm, and more. These delicious gummies are formulated to help you get to sleep quickly and to sleep more soundly through the night. These snoozy CBD gummies are a must for every nightstand. We also have CBD + CBN Night Capsules, featuring the “ultimate relaxation cannabinoid,” CBN, as well as broad spectrum CBD, valerian root, GABA, and other restful ingredients. Our CBD Sleep Tincture combines four potent sleep ingredients: CBD, CBN, melatonin, and sleep terpenes. And if you feel like you need that next-level sleep support, reach for one of our delta-9 THC oil sleep products, such as our CBN + Delta-9 THC Sweet Dreams Drops or our Lemon Dream Delta-9 THC Gummies.
Better Workouts, Better Fitness
CBD can be an integral component for any exercise and fitness plan. Whether you’re taking pre-workout CBD for focus and energy, post-workout CBD for pain or discomfort, or nighttime CBD for sleep support, there’s a CBDfx gummy, tincture, capsule, or cream that’s perfect for your fitness needs. Try one of our CBD workout products for your next fitness session and feel the difference!
