Have you ever found yourself halfway through a workout and feeling kind of… unmotivated to finish? You aren’t alone, especially if you’re working out in the evening after the
majority of your (probably stressful) day is already behind you. Right? There are probably a million and one products out there that claim to help with this very issue – but can you pronounce the ingredients? Are you comfortable putting it in your body? If the answer is, “No!” you might want to take a look at this very versatile oil.
Rubbing a couple of drops on your chest before your workout will keep you invigorated and motivated through your workout, and help you return to a relaxed state afterward. It is a grounding oil that soothes not only the body but the mind as well. The warm, woody scent of this oil helps to create a relaxing environment, whether you are using it topically or aromatically!
