Endurance athletes are true warriors, pushing their limits through long, grueling training sessions.
It's not just about speed or distance; it's about resilience, keeping muscles limber, joints supported, feet and legs in prime condition, and maintaining mental clarity. doTERRA oils, with their myriad benefits, can be powerful allies in both preparation and recovery for these athletes.
I've whipped up my top three muscle-soothing massage blends to keep you running, biking, swimming (or however you choose to conquer distances). These are perfect for before intense training to prepare your body or afterward to aid in recovery:
Rosemary + Black Pepper + Fractionated Coconut Oil: This blend is a champion for warming up your muscles and keeping them loose. Rosemary’s invigorating properties, combined with the warming sensation of Black Pepper oil, make for a perfect pre or post-exercise massage oil that not only soothes but also stimulates blood flow.
Cypress + Bergamot + Fractionated Coconut Oil: For those seeking a refreshing yet soothing touch, Cypress and Bergamot are your go-to. Cypress helps improve circulation, while Bergamot adds a calming yet uplifting aroma. This blend is ideal for a post-workout massage, helping to rejuvenate the spirit along with the body.
Lemongrass + Basil + Fractionated Coconut Oil: This mix targets both mind and muscle. Lemongrass is known for its purifying properties, and Basil is known for its ability to ease and provide comfort. Together, they create a soothing blend that keeps legs and feet feeling light and ready for the next challenge.
Challenge of the Day: Choose one of these massage blends to incorporate into your training routine.
