Essential Oils For Post Workout
Now that the New Year's rush to get to the gym is over, it's time to settle into my new routine.
I'm watching portions, tracking food, cutting way back on white carbs and sugar, and starting to exercise.
A fitness program may be one of the best things you can do for your health. Physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, help you lose weight — and even improve your sleep habits and self-esteem.
If you joined a gym in January to help you meet your weight and fitness goals, you definitely weren't the only one.
New Year's is Black Friday for the gym industry. According to the International Health, Racquet, & Sportsclub Association or IHRSA, over 12% of new gym members join in January alone.
"January is the perfect storm," says IHRSA Chairman Bill McBride. "You've got cold weather, a long month, psychological awareness about achieving goals, and everybody's finally out of vacation mode."
When you start a new exercise program, change your exercise routine, or increase the duration or intensity of your regular workout, muscle soreness can occur.
When it does, doTERRA's Deep Blue Soothing Blend is the essential oil for you.

Mild soreness is normal after physical exercise especially when you're first starting out.
Remember to take it easy and don't push yourself too hard.
You won't be jumping out of bed in the morning to get to the gym if it hurts to raise your arm to brush your teeth.
It's recommended that you plan time between sessions to give your body time to rest and recover.
And just like food or finances, track your exercise too.
