After your last set of burpees, your legs are quivering and you’re drenched in sweat from head to toe, but you still find yourself smiling with accomplishment and basking in the euphoria that accompanies your intense workout.

Practicing habits such as eating well and optimizing quality sleep after working out can help you bounce back and stay the course of your fitness journey.
Adding in CBD for your post-workout recovery ritual, is also a fan favorite! Athletes and active individuals alike have flocked to CBD and shared their positive experiences after using CBD after a sweat session.

Looking to use CBD after a workout? Here are a few suggestions to begin:
Explore our Recovery+ bundle. Designed with our active members in mind, we’ve curated the Recovery+ bundle to be your go-to post-workout essentials kit. This special bundle includes our Recovery Roll-On, our Mindful Mineral Soak, and a 30CT of our 10mg Daily Softgels to nurture your body to recovery.
Recovery Roll-On: 
Roll your way to relief with our new Recovery Roll-On. It’s perfect for grabbing on the go and throwing in your gym bag or purse. This exciting new topical form features 750mg of our full-spectrum CBD along with menthol and White Willow Bark Extract to promote fast-acting, mess-free relief. This special combination of ingredients may ease soreness in as little as 15 minutes, with lasting effects from anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.
How to Use: Roll liberally on sore, tense, or achy areas and massage well. Repeat as needed. You can use this topical CBD product as often as you need since it doesn’t absorb the same way as our ingestible CBD.
Mindful Mineral Soak:
Rejuvenate your body with our Mindful Mineral Soak. This incredible soak comprises a base of Mediterranean sea salt, Dead sea salt, and dendritic salt paired with 200mg of our full-spectrum CBD, coconut oil, and notes of gardenia and jasmine. One 200mg bag includes approximately 4 baths per bath (50mg per bath).
How to Use: Pour about ¼ of the bag into a warm bath and relax! Just like your Recovery Roll-On, you can use this bathtime delight any time you need it – it won’t count toward your daily dose since it doesn’t enter the body in the same manner as orally ingesting CBD.
Daily Softgels:
Our Daily Softgels are a favorite and daily essential for many of our members. These slow, sustained release Softgels give long-lasting and gentle baseline support. Most commonly, our members use them to manage stress, alleviate physical discomfort, and promote restful sleep. The Softgels start to work in about 1 to 3 hours and generally last around 6 to 8 hours.
How to Use: Our members use these in the morning, afternoon, and at nighttime. Whatever time of the day you decide to incorporate them, we recommend taking your Softgel with a meal or snack containing healthy fats. Healthy fats such as avocado, nut butter, or chia seeds can enhance the absorption of your Softgel.
Other Helpful Tips for Using CBD After a Workout:
Workout recovery encompasses an integrated approach to taking care of your body. In addition to adding in CBD after a workout, consider building a post-workout ritual with other wellness activities to optimize your success.
Check out these other activities to try after a workout:
- Conclude your workout with a cool down. Whether it be stretching, a leisurely walk, or using a foam roller, help your body slow down and transition from that intense workout.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water to ensure your body is functioning at maximum capacity!
- Nibble on some healthy snacks to nourish your body. Reach for nutritious and filling snacks to support recuperation. Some snacks you might enjoy are hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, or some nuts.
- Journal your workout. Journaling can be a handy tool to help you monitor your fitness progress and see how you can adjust your routine to fit your needs.
- Give your body rest. Periods of rest in between workouts can be useful for allowing your muscles to repair. Quality sleep at night can also be vital for promoting recovery.
- Take a cool shower or soak in a bath post workout. If you’re sweating up a storm, try taking a cool shower right after your workout. Alternatively, you could add some of our Mindful Mineral Soak to a warm bath before bedtime to ease soreness and discomfort.
