Every Good Workout Starts With Coffee
Here are 7 ways that a cup of joe can make your workout better.
1. Promotes fat cells to be used as energy versus glycogen when consumed before a workout.
2. Coffee can help boost performance by helping you train harder and longer.
3. Increases mental focus.
4. Gives the body a boost in antioxidants to protect against damage caused by free radicals.
5. Suppresses appetite, researchers have found that those who drank black coffee before a workout ate 72 fewer calories later in the day.
6. 300mg of caffeine, roughly the amount found in a cup of coffee, helps the body burn 15% more calories in the 3 hours post-workout.
7. Makes working out easier. Research from the Journal of Applied Physiology has shown that caffeinated exercisers found their workouts easier than non caffeinated exercisers.
Grab a cup 30-60 minutes before your next workout, just skip the cream and sugar.
