Proleve offers various product options when it comes to CBD for post-workout recovery. Because cannabinoids have analgesic, anti-inflammatory properties, many Proleve customers use CBD for muscle recovery and growth. Our topicals, tinctures, and gummies are packed with anti-inflammatory CBD for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, or those looking to boost muscle recovery and strength.
In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about using CBD post-workout. Read on to learn more about CBD’s upsides for athletic recovery, effect on muscles, and to determine what types of CBD are best for your fitness routine.
Many athletes use CBD post-workout in order to reduce the pain, stiffness, soreness, and inflammation caused by intense exercise.
Here are some of the most common reasons why Proleve customers use CBD for recovery:
Because cannabinoids have analgesic, anti-inflammatory properties, many Proleve customers use CBD for muscle recovery and growth. CBD binds with cannabinoid receptors in the skin and muscles, reducing pain and inflammation while soothing small tears created by strenuous physical activity. By using CBD for muscles, you can ensure that stiffness and soreness never gets between you and your workout.
By supporting muscle recovery, CBD allows athletes and fitness enthusiasts to maintain a more consistent workout routine without interruptions due to stiff, sore muscles. For this reason, many Proleve customers report using CBD for muscle strength, athletic performance, and overall fitness.
CBD reduces stiffness and soreness in the joints and extremities, which can help improve mobility and performance during workouts.
When it comes to CBD for athletes, there are two product categories to keep in mind: ingestibles and topicals.
CBD Ingestibles are consumed orally, and allow CBD to work inside the body to target the underlying causes of sore, stiff muscles. Popular CBD ingestibles include Tinctures, Edibles, and Capsules, all of which provide long-lasting effects and around-the-clock fitness benefits.
CBD Topicals are applied directly to the skin, and are used to target localized discomfort, muscle stiffness, and soreness. Topicals can take the form of lotions, creams, balms, roll-ons, and gels.
You can use CBD for fitness both before and after your workout. While some athletes choose between CBD tinctures or topicals, other Proleve customers find that combining the two optimizes exercise performance and recovery.
No matter what you choose, using CBD for athletic recovery is simple and hassle-free according to the following instructions:
For best results, take a serving size of CBD oil or a CBD gummy an hour before your workout to prevent muscles from becoming inflamed during exercise. If necessary, take another dose immediately post-workout to accelerate muscle healing after your fitness routine.
CBD topicals can be used on an as-needed basis, and provide relief within minutes of application. You can apply CBD topicals to the muscles before your workout to prevent soreness and enhance mobility, while using topicals after workouts allows you to target the specific areas where muscle pain or stiffness occurs. In either case, apply CBD directly to the muscles or joints, focusing in particular on any areas prone to aches during or after exercise.
