Young Living essential oils and essential oil-infused products can enhance your exercise routine. When working out, it is important to remember these three things:
- Breathing
- Hydration
- Recovery
Stop by Vital Fit Club and try these amazing Young Living oils and products.
Breathing
Smooth and efficient breathing is crucial for delivering the oxygen our body needs to perform its functions properly. Keep Breathe Again™ close by to help open nasal passages with its invigorating and awakening aroma. The convenient and portable roll-on applicator makes it easy to apply to the head, neck, chest or under the nose.
Breathe Again – a combination of four powerful varieties of eucalyptus essential oils, plus Laurus nobilis, Rose hip, Peppermint, Copaiba, Blue Cypress and Myrtle essential oils.
Hydration
Keeping your body properly hydrated helps flush out the toxins that are released when working out. Adding a few drops of Peppermint essential oil to your water keeps you alert during your workout.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for supporting normal digestion, including promoting healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal system comfort.
Recovery
Once you’ve finished your workout, be sure to cool down and stretch the worked muscle groups to avoid injury. When your muscles are fatigued, the use of Deep Relief™ Roll-on, a must-have in your gym bag, works to help soothe sore and tight muscles.
Deep Relief is made up of Peppermint, Wintergreen, Copaiba, Helichrysum, Dorado Azul, and other essential oils, which all play an integral role in this blend. Deep Relief Roll-On has an invigorating and energizing scent.
Cool Azul, not only hydrates the skin, but this sports gel boasts a topical cooling blend of Peppermint essential oil, menthol, and camphor and includes Plectranthus Oregano and Young Living-exclusive Dorado Azul essential oil.
Cool Azul Sports Gel delivers a cooling sensation to the skin with a unique, plant-based formula that includes pure essential oils. The naturally derived ingredients give Cool Azul Sports Gel a unique consistency that makes application convenient and easy for anyone, including physical, sports and massage therapists alike. No matter your training or fitness level, Cool Azul Sports Gel is a perfect choice to use before or after physical activity.
