1. Essential Oils and Fitness
Whether you exercise for fun, to lose weight, to build strength or muscle, to stay active with your friends and family, or just because you want to be healthy—essential oils can be a helpful part of any workout routine. Essential oils are safe, natural, and potent, which makes them useful for a number of tasks that relate to a healthy lifestyle.
We all have different body types, unique DNA, individual health concerns, and our own needs; however, essential oils can easily be tailored to fit to any type of workout, and can coincide with a healthy diet. Essential oils provide natural benefits that will help you to reach your fitness goals, whatever they may be.

2. Healthy Habits and Essential Oils
Benefits of exercise
Benefits of eating healthy
Essential oils can be a part of any workout routine or diet
We all know that it is important to get regular exercise and eat a healthy diet, but let’s take a moment to talk about the real benefits that come from working out and eating healthy.
Benefits of exercise
There are dozens of benefits that come from treating your body well and giving it regular exercise. In addition to feeling better overall, regular physical activity can help in these areas:
Maintaining proper health
Promoting better sleep
Helping maintain a healthy weight
Providing an outlet for stress
Decreasing cravings for unhealthy food
Elevating cognitive function
Benefits of eating healthy
When exercise is coupled with a healthy diet, your body is more likely to feel, look, and perform better. Eating healthy can:
Help maintain a healthy weight
Promote heart health; help defend the body against health issues
Give our bodies the nutrients to build strong muscles, bones, etc.
Promote brain function
Help improve mood
Support a longer life span
While not all health issues can be resolved by exercise and healthy eating alone, these two practices are the key to any healthy lifestyle. So, how do essential oils fit into a healthy lifestyle? Essential oils hold many benefits for the body when used on their own, but can be extremely beneficial when combined with healthy eating and regular exercise. Not only do essential oils provide natural solutions that will improve any form of exercise, but they also include significant internal benefits for the body. Once you begin to incorporate essential oils into your lifestyle, you will see how useful they are, and how easy it is to tailor your essential oil experience to your needs and preferences.

3. Which Essential Oils are Most Useful for Fitness?
Oils with warming and cooling properties
Oils with uplifting, energizing, invigorating, and motivating properties
Oils with calming, relaxing properties
Each essential oil has a unique set of chemical properties that give the oil a distinct aroma, specific benefits, and makes it useful for certain tasks. When it comes to using essential oils for fitness, the most useful oils will be ones with warming, cooling, uplifting, or calming properties.
Warming and cooling oils
Essential oils with warming or cooling properties can be helpful both before and after exercise because they can provide a soothing sensation to the skin and other areas of the body. For example, by topically massaging warming oils into the skin during your warm up, you can help loosen the muscles and prepare them for movement. When you are done exercising, applying cooling oils to areas like the legs, feet, and back can help soothe the body. Both warming and cooling oils are useful during a warm up or a cool down, and can be helpful for things like stretching and massage.
Examples of essential oils with warming properties include Black Pepper, Cassia, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Frankincense, and Wintergreen.
Examples of essential oils with cooling properties include Basil, Cardamom, and Peppermint.
Uplifting, energizing, invigorating, and motivating oils
It can often be difficult to feel alert and motivated enough to work out, especially if you are exercising every day or trying to stick to a strict workout schedule. Essential oils with uplifting properties can help you feel energized and motivated before and during your workout. You can apply essential oils with uplifting or invigorating qualities to the skin through topical application, or apply a small amount of oil to your clothing before working out so the aroma remains with you while you exercise. You can also help promote energizing or motivating feelings by diffusing uplifting essential oils before working out or during your workout if you are exercising at home.
Essential oils like Bergamot, Cypress, Grapefruit, Lemon, Spearmint, and Tangerine have uplifting properties and can help promote energy, motivation, and vitality for your workout.
If you have any of the uplifting oils listed above, you might consider passing them around so the audience can smell them.
Calming and relaxing oils
After vigorous exercise, it is important to relax and rest in order to give the body time to recover and repair before your next workout. You can use calming essential oils to create a relaxing environment and to help the body and mind feel at ease after exercise. Calming essential oils can also be used in a post-workout bath, or can be applied topically to help promote calming feelings and reduce tension. It can also be helpful to use essential oils with calming properties to help you get a good night of sleep in between workouts. You can apply calming essential oils to the bottoms of the feet before bed, or combine these oils with a little water in a spray bottle and spritz over your bedding. Remember, getting proper rest in between workouts is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and essential oils can make this part of the process even easier.

Because there is such a wide variety of essential oils, and because each oil has a unique chemistry and set of benefits, there are many uses of essential oils for fitness.
Clear airways and easy breathing
Proper breathing is a vital part of any type of physical activity. You can use essential oils like Cardamom, Douglas Fir, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Melaleuca or Peppermint to help promote feelings of clear breathing during your workout. Applying these types of oils to the chest will help support feelings of clear airways while you exercise.
Massage
As mentioned, the cooling and warming properties of certain essential oils make them useful for soothing or loosening the affected areas. However, some areas of the body will need more attention, and a post-workout massage can help put the body at ease. Essential oils like Black Pepper, Cedarwood, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Lemongrass, Vetiver, and Wintergreen are some of the best essential oils for massage—especially after a particularly long or hearty workout.
Immune system
When you are working out regularly and trying to reach specific fitness goals or maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is important to keep the immune system healthy. With a weak immune system, it can be tough to bounce back after a workout, or to have the strength and energy necessary to work out at all. By protecting and strengthening the immune system, you can keep your body strong enough to continue to work out and progress toward your goals. Essential oils like Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Frankincense, Juniper Berry, Lime, Myrrh, Petitgrain, Thyme, and Wild Orange may help promote healthy immune function and response when ingested.*

Metabolism
In addition to protecting the body by bolstering the immune system, it is important to do your best to maintain a healthy metabolism when working toward fitness and wellness goals. A healthy metabolism will help your body process food properly, and give your body the nutrients and energy it needs. Having a healthy metabolism is dependent on many factors; however, there are several essential oils with chemical properties that may help promote a healthy metabolism.* Essential oils like Bergamot, Black Pepper, Cassia, Clove, Fennel, Grapefruit, Helichrysum, Lime, or Thyme may help promote a healthy metabolism as you strive to reach your personal fitness goals.*
