CBD: It’s What’s Missing from Your Workouts

By now, maybe you’ve heard...
CBD can help recovery after a good, hard workout. The promise of its anti-inflammatory properties has been found to ease soreness and discomfort.
But maybe you haven’t heard this: CBD is going viral as a pre-workout aid.
Balanced Body, Happy Body
Your body demands homeostasis, which you may know better as balance. This is maintained by your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
CBD supports the ECS in helping you reach internal harmony. That’s why when you’re tired, CBD can help energize you, yet when you’re wired, it can help calm you down.
Simply put… CBD helps your body achieve whatever you need to stay balanced and keep your well-being.
That’s why CBD before a workout can be as effective as it is afterwards.
How CBD Works Beforehand
Relaxes your blood vessels. Be more free-flowing in your movements.
Helps maintain mental focus. Train harder and more efficiently
Positively Affects Serotonin (i.e., Happiness) Levels. Increased endurance to work out longer
Consistency Is Key
Just like sporadic trips to the gym won’t sculpt your body or random guitar practice won’t turn you into Jimi Hendrix, irregular use of CBD won’t give you the benefits you’re looking for.
But if you use CBD daily, and especially at least 1 hour before a workout (or any exercise), you may find that you’ll not only recover more easily but also work out better.
