Transform your workouts with these natural solutions

Love working out but struggle to find the energy to get up and go? Is post-workout stiffness making it even harder to stay motivated? As a fitness enthusiast and Personal Trainer, I’ve always believed that optimal performance isn’t just about the hours you put in at the gym. It’s also about how you fuel your body and support your recovery.

Here’s how your training regime can be complemented by a few key Chuckling Goat products that help maximise energy, maintain gut health, and recover faster.

1. Energise your workouts with Siberian Ginseng

Looking for a natural way to enhance your workout performance? Siberian Ginseng (also known as Eleutherococcus senticosus) is a powerful adaptogenic herb that has been used for centuries. Benefits of this powerhouse tincture include enhanced endurance, reduced fatigue, helping the body adapt to stress, and improved overall physical performance. It is my go-to before a heavy session or to power through a night of classes!

Taking 20 drops before your workout helps increase stamina and endurance, providing that extra push you need, especially during high-intensity sessions. Energy drinks have become the norm, but are often packed with sugar and artificial ingredients. These drinks may upset your stomach and negatively impact your gut health. Siberian Ginseng offers a gut-friendly alternative! It helps you stay energised and focused without a crash or digestive discomfort.

Research has shown that Siberian Ginseng can also increase the muscles’ capacity to perform work, particularly during intense physical activity. In one study, participants who took 800 milligrams of Siberian Ginseng daily for eight weeks experienced a 23% increase in endurance time, a 12% boost in peak oxygen saturation, and a 3% rise in maximum heart rate. So if you’re looking to enhance your exercise performance and overall stamina, look no further!¹

2. Speed up recovery with Boswellia Serrata

Post-workout recovery is crucial, especially after a strenuous session that leaves you feeling sore and achy. This is where Boswellia Serrata tincture comes in as my personal lifesaver! Boswellia has powerful anti-inflammatory properties! It helps to reduce muscle soreness and joint pain, supporting faster recovery.

Boswellia Serrata works by inhibiting enzymes that cause inflammation. Boswellia’s active compounds are called boswellic acids. Boswellic acids help reduce inflammatory markers in the body and can alleviate symptoms of muscle fatigue and stiffness.² This makes it a great addition to your post-workout routine, especially if you’re dealing with recurring aches and pains, joint discomfort or are recovering from an injury.

Take 20 drops of Boswellia Serrata tincture immediately after your workout when your muscles are still warm and your body is starting its natural repair process. You can also take it again the next day to help manage any lingering inflammation or stiffness. Source it here and check out Fighting pain? Think Boswellia! for more.

3. Start your day right with a Gut-Health Shake

While Siberian Ginseng and Boswellia Serrata are key for my performance and recovery, I also believe in starting the day with a strong foundation. Why not kick off your mornings with a gut health shake? The CG Gut-Health Shake is packed with ingredients that support overall well-being and give you an energy boost:
