What does this supplement do for you and why has it taken off so much? Read it here!
Training alongside a busy life
Pre-workouts are extremely popular and for good reason. People live fleetingly and hop from one thing to another. A busy family life with young children, an intensive job and a packed agenda full of social appointments and a very ambitious training plan. Not only the amount of distractions and stimuli in our lives has increased. We also want more and more in a limited time. This ensures that routines are broken more quickly because the motivation is not there. If there is one thing that is important during strength and/or endurance sports, it is consistency and, in addition to sufficient rest, getting the most out of your training. In other words: you make a training schedule and stick to it. No pain no gain!

Preworkout for gold
Due to our busy lives, you may be tired or just not be able to deliver the performance you normally do. You stagnate. Something that can also mentally prevent you from getting the best out of yourself. That's where pre-workouts certainly come in handy. They often consist of a mix of stimulating ingredients such as caffeine, beta-alanine and creatine to take you to greater heights. It not only stimulates motivation and ensures that you start your training energetic, invigorated and alert, but mainly ensures that you can train harder and longer to achieve the desired results when running or strength training in the gym. So you train even more efficiently and with the desired intensity.
Also for endurance training?
Pre-workout supplements are especially popular among a large group of people who work up a sweat in the gym with strength training. However, you can also benefit from these stimulants with cardio training in the gym or endurance sports such as cycling or running. It is best to take a pre-workout 15-30 minutes in advance and it can have an effect for up to 3 hours. While you are often exhausted after an hour of strength training in the gym, your endurance training can easily last a few hours. In any case, every athlete benefits from an increased energy level, especially when tired, more focus and motivation and better blood flow to your muscles. That's what these resources do for you.
What should you pay attention to?
However, there are also a number of comments to be made. It is not desirable to use this product every day. The dosage is also important. So stick to the recommended amount. Possible side effects of stimulants if used too frequently are palpitations, increased stress and higher blood pressure. In addition, just like drinking too much coffee, you can build up a tolerance to the active substance caffeine, which means your body needs more and more to achieve the same effect. You make your body dependent. So handle it responsibly, but don't hesitate to try it. Reach your training goals even faster and aim for new PRs or challenges!
