]]>Recent studies in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition argue that ingesting caffeine an hour before aerobic exercise can help boost fat burning. Caffeine can help you burn up to double what you usually would burn.
Since caffeine is a natural simulation, various studies have shown time and time again how coffee can help enhance mental focus, alertness, and general cognitive function. Therefore, by drinking caffeine before your workout, you can be assured that your brain is awake and sharp for your workout.
Studies have shown that caffeine reduces inflammation, enhances recovery, and reduces delayed onset muscle soreness. More and more studies prove that coffee helps reduce exercise-induced pain and muscle tension. These studies also show that caffeine helps increase carbohydrate metabolism after exercise, which means that your muscles replenish their energy better and more effectively.

]]>Listen, a cup of coffee here and there before a workout isn’t going to complete derail your workout routine. The caffeine will give you a nice kick, and while that “kick” isn’t exactly what you need during your workout, it’s also not the worst thing ever. However, we’d highly recommend not letting it become a habit, because too much caffeine will ultimately lead to a crash, which is the last thing you want in the gym.
If you’re craving a coffee before a workout, the best thing you can do is tell yourself that you’ll “save it for later”. Not only will that coffee hit the spot so much better after your workout, but your performance will be optimized that much more.

]]>When looking at things on the surface, the coffee you drink day in and day out probably isn’t helping your workout life. After all, coffee is somewhat of a drug, and it wires you in such a way that’s not conducive for a healthy exercise routine.
However, from a practical standpoint, coffee can actually surprisingly—dare we say it—be helpful in certain times, even in regards to working out. On those days when you’re supposed to start a jog but you just can’t find the inspiration to do it—a swig of espresso might actually help.
Go ahead, do it, we won’t tell anyone. Sometimes, even if the coffee isn’t objectively good for you, perhaps it’s exactly what you need in that moment to maintain your workout regimen. And ultimately, isn’t that consistency what you want?
