HOW TO USE CBD FOR FITNESS TRAINING.

Incorporating CBD into your workout routine is relatively easy, but there are factors to consider before you start.

The following tips will guide you on how to effectively include CBD into your training regimen. For individuals who like to stay fit and active or who embrace athletic competition as a lifestyle, using CBD as part of your fitness regimen, will absolutely bring you joy.

There are thousands of CBD products on the market. How do you choose what will be effective for you? For example, if you’re a budding body builder, powerlifter, or you’re seeking to increase strength for team sports like football, soccer, volleyball, rugby, baseball, and basketball, adding a CBD system designed for athletes and performance training is simple and straightforward.

Keys to product selection:

Topicals:

• Dosage plays a role, The more milligrams of CBD the more effective up to a point. For instance, Pua Olonā’s blue and red pain gel roll-ons and squeeze bottles are used by record-setting powerlifters and body builders.

Tinctures:

• Dosage also plays a role here but so do terpenes. Terpene blends are okay, but our athletes find a product with dedicated terpenes designed for specific effects are much more effective. Pua Olonā’s Vigor product is a great example.

Testing:

• If you’re a competitive athlete, there are competitions where testing for PED’s is required by the sports governing body. If this is the case, they will surely be testing for THC, so you want to utilize a “broad spectrum” product like Pua Olona which contain no THC.

Pre-Workout Utilization:

• Use a Tincture that’s designed for “focus” 30 minutes before weightlifting, or dynamic warmup. If you lift after practice or before, no need to take it twice.

• After taking the tincture, apply a topical product to all joints of the body and muscle groups. If there’s a major focus of that day’s training, apply specifically to those areas of focus.

• If its practice, apply to arms, shoulders, chest, back, core and legs at least 30 minutes prior.

• Wash hands thoroughly after application. If your topical product contains elements not good for the eyes, please take note and adhere to the directions on the label.

Post-Workout Utilization:

• Apply a topical product to all joints of the body and muscle groups.

• Wash hands thoroughly after application. If your topical product contains elements not good for the eyes, please take note and act accordingly.

Relaxation Utilization Options:

• When you need to relax, use a tincture designed for relaxation. The optimal product to utilize is a broad-spectrum (Zero THC) product with a minimum of 1500mg of CBD. The reason for using a tincture is its bioavailability, as under the tongue consumption works much faster than an edible or capsule.

• The other option is to consume broad spectrum gummies with at least 25mg per piece. These usually come in a 30CT bottle.

Sleep Utilization:

• Take one dropperful or 1ml of a Tincture designed for sleep. I would recommend a sleep tincture with a minimum of 1500mg per 30ml or 1 ounce. At this dosage, your intake will be 50ml per night per 30-day duration.

Disciplined Consistency:

• There’s some misinformation regarding how CBD works. As the co-founder of a CBD company focused on athletics, I can only speak from personal experience as a formulator and a user. CBD products work 100% of the time, sometimes in minutes, and without fail. Dosage plays a key role in this.

• Consistent intake of tinctures plays a role in ensuring long-term effectiveness for workout recovery. Therefore, it should be a part of your training regimen.

In conclusion, CBD should absolutely be a part of your workout routine and one should always have in your backpack, fanny pack or purse. At Pua Olonā, all of our products are “broad spectrum”, meaning they contain Zero Ø THC.
