Enhanced Concentration: Many individuals have reported that using cannabis, particularly strains with higher THC content, can help them focus during a workout at the gym. I can say, It is my personal experience that while on a three-second inhale of high THC vape, I have been able to really concentrate while working out. This allows me to focus on the exercise and concentrate on the muscles being worked. When I am done, I feel great and truly accomplished. This could be due to the fact that I only think about the workout, and everything else tends to leave my mind.
Mind-Muscle Connection: Users have described experiencing an improved mind-muscle connection while using cannabis before working out. This heightened awareness of the muscles being worked can lead to more precise and effective movements during exercises.
Stress Reduction: Cannabis can have anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects, which can be beneficial for those who experience anxiety or stress before or during workouts. By calming the mind, cannabis may help individuals focus on their exercises without being overwhelmed by other thoughts. I personally do not have anxiety, however, it relaxes me to the point where the workout is quite enjoyable (read below).
Enhanced Enjoyment: Cannabis can enhance the overall enjoyment of physical activity. It can lead to a more positive and rewarding experience during your workout, making you feel accomplished and motivated to continue exercising.
Individual Variability: It’s important to note that the effects of cannabis can vary widely from person to person. Individual tolerance, the strain of cannabis, and the dosage all play a significant role in determining how cannabis affects your workout. What works well for one person may not work the same way for another.
Responsible Use: Responsible and moderate cannabis use is key to maximizing its potential benefits during exercise. It’s important to be aware of local laws and regulations regarding cannabis use and to ensure it does not impair your coordination or safety during physical activity. This is very important, make sure the main point is to feel relaxed and focus. To much THC and it will have the opposite effect. It is best to try it before going to the gym. Microdosing is very important, especially for beginners. Understand your body and mind, and what feels good for you. We recommend, you work out at home at first to get used to it.
