How Oxygen Therapy Can Boost Your Outdoor Workouts This Summer

Summer is the perfect time to take your workouts outside. The longer days, warmer weather, and natural surroundings provide an excellent backdrop for exercise. But as you push your body hard in a hotter climate (which most of us Brits aren’t used to), ensuring your oxygen levels are optimal while you train can significantly enhance your performance and recovery.

 

We’re all aware how important it is to stay hydrated and keep on top of nutrition to get the best from your body. But did you know that oxygen therapy can be a game-changer for both your fitness routine and its results?

 

It won’t surprise you to learn it’s a subject we know a thing or two about.

 

And we’re happy to share.

 

The Science Behind Oxygen Therapy

 

Despite sounding somewhat futuristic and perhaps a little bit intimidating, oxygen therapy simply involves inhaling supplemental oxygen to increase the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream. Doing so can have numerous benefits for your body, particularly during physical activity. Scientific studies have shown that higher oxygen levels can enhance athletic performance, reduce fatigue, and accelerate recovery.

 

Here’s how:

 

Enhanced Endurance and Performance

 

When you exercise, your muscles need more oxygen to produce energy. Supplemental oxygen can help meet this increased demand, allowing you to work out harder and longer. Some research suggests that athletes using supplemental oxygen during high-intensity workouts may experience improved performance and endurance compared to those who don’t.

 

Reduced Fatigue

 

Fatigue is a common barrier to effective workouts. Especially during the summer months. By increasing the oxygen supply to your muscles, oxygen therapy can help delay its onset. This means you can push through longer training sessions and achieve better results. Supplemental oxygen has been proved to significantly reduce perceived exertion during exercise too, making your workouts feel easier and more enjoyable. Win-win!

 

Faster Recovery

 

Post-workout recovery is crucial for muscle repair and growth. Oxygen therapy can speed up the process by enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. Some studies indicate that supplemental oxygen can reduce muscle soreness and accelerate recovery after intense physical activity. This allows you to get back to your workouts more quickly and maintain a consistent training schedule.

What’s the best way to integrate Oxygen Therapy into your workout?

 

Incorporating oxygen therapy into your workout routine is super simple and can provide noticeable benefits. Here are some tips on how to get started:

 

Pre-Workout

 

Using supplemental oxygen before your workout can help prime your body for physical activity. Take a few breaths from a ClearO2 oxygen canister to increase your oxygen levels and enhance your performance from the start.

 

During Your Workout

 

For endurance activities like running, cycling, or hiking, carry a portable oxygen canister with you. Use it during breaks to reduce fatigue and maintain your energy levels. For high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or weightlifting, use between sets to speed up recovery and reduce muscle fatigue.

 

Post-Workout

 

After your workout, use oxygen therapy to aid recovery. This can help reduce muscle soreness and accelerate the repair process, allowing you to bounce back more quickly and be ready for your next workout.

 

So, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, supplemental oxygen can help you reach your goals and enjoy your workouts to the fullest. So, gear up, head outside, and take your summer workouts to the next level with ClearO2.
