5 All-Natural Ways To Power Up Your Workout Sessions

If you're looking for ways to boost your energy during your workouts, you'll find wayyy too many 'pre-workout supplements' in the market - many of which have been proven to be hazardous for your health. Rather than risking your overall health and performance by using steroids and supplements, it's always better to stick with organic & natural ways to get your juices flowing! Source: Refinery29   In this article, we break down 5 all-natural ways to power up your workout sessions: Aromatherapy   Essential oils, with their fragrant natural ingredients from flowers, shrubs and trees have long been known to aid in improving health and well-being. Aromatherapy has therapeutic properties that work on a physical and psychological level. If you're someone who enjoys fitness & working out - there are numerous ways you can harness the power of aromatherapy in exercise and sports. Aromatherapy can ease muscular strains and aches, motivate you when beginning a new regime, and sharpen and focus the brain when gunning for your new personal best. It also has a great effect on the psyche. The essential oil blend you use will strengthen the muscular system and keep the motion of the body flowing, so that your peak performance becomes easier!   Plant Power   One of the best natural sources for combating fatigue is Adaptogenic Herbs. These have been in use for centuries, and their medicinal properties include a healing effect on the body in times of fatigue, stress and anxiety. The plants help regulate the adrenal system, which is the body’s main line of defense against stress.  When you feel like you’re just lazing through all your workouts, you can use ashwagandha and rhodiola, the latter of which is known to significantly decrease the effects of a lack of sleep - so you can power through your workout even when you've had a hectic schedule!   Crystal Light Before you get too skeptical - yes, Crystal Light is merely adding a dash of flavor to water. (And no, it's not the same as lime water). But the thing is, having a good workout has a lot to do with being fully hydrated. Even though Crystal Light doesn't technically provide you with the same kind of energy as pre-workout supplements, your body can do a surprising amount with a slight placebo effect. If you're looking to save money on pre-workout or just want to keep your diet natural - Crystal Water is a great way to trick your brain to think it’s pre-workout, and get that same vigorous kick in the butt!   Lime Water    Lime Water has been a natural thirst-quencher for ages, and is an essential element in a healthy diet. But if you look at it from a fitness perspective, it has even more to offer. There's a reason why experts continue to suggest having lime water to lose weight! Since limes are rich in vitamin C, it's a great idea to have lime water right before your workout. This is because it subdues asthmatic symptoms like coughing or wheezing, and also reduces muscle soreness. The juice squeezed out of a lime is a potent anti-toxin that purifies and cleanses your blood and digestive system. It is also loaded with antioxidants that energize your bodily functions.   Music! Last but not least: music! Specifically, upbeat music that makes you wanna dance around and get your body moving. Upset because you hate your 9 to 5? Angry because your boyfriend isn't doing the dishes as he promised? Music is the one thing that will help you tune out all the little things that stress you out, and get you in the mood for a killer workout. This one is especially important for those early morning workouts you're often sleeping through. Just turn on some Britney and get to work. The kick you'll receive from good music is better than any market-sold supplement!
