If you’re just starting to work out and are a little intimidated by the amount of supplements you’re “meant” to take, don’t worry, because the answer to achieving great fitness might be as simple as drinking a cup of coffee.
According to a report by CNN the caffeine in a cup of coffee can seriously help in your workout. If you struggle to figure out why people who work out enjoy it so much, a cup of coffee before a workout might be the answer.
The trick here is to time when you drink the coffee. Caffeine takes effect pretty fast in the body, usually within 15 to 45 mins of when you drink it.
Not only can it enhance your workout, but it can also assist the dietary aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Pair this with your workout and you’ll become far more efficient at shredding off excess calories than you normally would.
Caffeine has the additional benefit of cutting down on cravings that you may have, so if your mid-morning snack serves as your Achilles Heel, then a cup of coffee should snap you out of it.
Best case scenario, your workout becomes a lot smoother and you may have discovered the most delicious shortcut to your burgeoning fitness lifestyle.
