Exercise is an important part of overall wellness. Whether you love to work out daily or simply enjoy some light weekly activity, you can further enhance your exercise experience using essential oils! Many doTERRA essential oils can be used during exercise, but three of our top favourites have topical and aromatic benefits that can complement any workout or exercise routine, no matter the simplicity or difficulty. Working out doesn’t have to be a chore, especially when you include Deep Blue, Lemongrass, and Cypress essential oils.
Pre- and Post-Workout Massages
Pre-Workout
If you’re lacking motivation or just need a quick boost before your workout, a pre-workout massage with essential oils is what you need. Combine a few drops of Lemongrass essential oil with Cypress essential oil and gently rub on pulse points and other desired areas for a refreshing, energizing aroma to help get you motivated and ready to start your workout. To reduce skin sensitivity, dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil or other carrier oil before applying topically.
Post-Workout
After giving your body the exercise it needs, reward it further with a post-workout massage using Deep Blue essential oil. This proprietary blend is famed for its topical soothing properties and energizing aroma, perfect to use after a strenuous activity. Simply apply a few drops on targeted areas and gently rub into the skin for an invigorating aroma and cooling sensation on the skin.
To enhance the reach of Deep Blue oil and protect sensitive skin, dilute one drop of Deep Blue oil with 10 drops of Fractionated Coconut Oil and enjoy your well-deserved massage.
Elevate Your At-Home Workout
If the gym isn’t your thing or there’s not one available in your area, exercising at home is still a suitable option.
