National Fitness Day 2020: Been working out? Five CBD products for muscle recovery under £50
First it was working from home. Then came the home workout 💪. This National Fitness Day, we bring you five of our favourite CBD products to help with recovery.
If there is one great positive to come from several consecutive weeks of hearing the words #StayHome and Stay Alert it’s that the nation may be getting fitter behind closed doors.
Sales of exercise equipment soared in April in the UK with kettlebells, dumbbells and yoga equipment selling out online on popular sites such as Argos and Amazon.
When Argos managed to restock some of its most popular workout essentials during week five, that top up sold out within one day.
The popularity of bicycles in particular has sped up, with more and more Brits finding independence in a daily cycle, or buying indoor exercise bikes to ‘spin’ at home, according to retailer Halfords.
“People who are not able to get out still want to exercise indoors.”

Can CBD help me get fitter?
CBD is high in antioxidants and is also an effective plant-based anti-inflammatory, which may help in easing those aches that come with DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
There are many sports supplements out there infused with CBD, with muscle balms, gels and creams proving popular with cross fitters and aspiring yogis alike.
