Let's start with Focus and Mental Clarity:
Mountain biking requires intense concentration and quick decision-making. To promote focus and mental clarity, consider using Young Living essential oils such as Peppermint or Rosemary. The invigorating scent of Peppermint can heighten alertness, while Rosemary can help improve cognitive function. Apply a few drops to your temples or diffuse the oil before your ride to stay sharp and focused.
Take some NingXia Nitro, a delicious, energizing wolfberry drink infused with essential oils, botanical extracts, D-ribose, Korean ginseng, and green tea extract to support alertness and cognitive and physical fitness.

Pre-Workout Preparation:
Preparing your body for an intense mountain biking session is crucial to optimizing performance and minimizing the risk of injury. Young Living offers a range of products that can assist in pre-workout preparation. CBD Muscle Rub offers a cooling sensation you’ll love and is designed to support proper warm-up and stretching routines. Apply this rub to target areas before your ride to help increase flexibility and support healthy blood flow.
Energy Boost During Your Ride:
Maintaining energy levels throughout your ride is essential, especially during longer, more demanding trails. Instead of relying on caffeine or sugary energy drinks, consider using Young Living's Nitro and / or NingXia Red products. Nitro is a natural energy boost that combines essential oils with powerful botanical extracts. NingXia Red, on the other hand, is an energizing antioxidant drink that provides sustained, natural vitality. These products ensure you stay fueled and focused without the crash associated with sugar-laden options.
