The recommended amount of coffee to imbibe before working out is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6212857\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3\u20136 mg per kg of body mass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Knowing what your body needs to help you exercise at your full potential is vital for that effective caffeine boost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-458048\" src=\"https:\/\/rekord.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2023\/05\/ElanaWagner-20-05-2023-Health-CoffeeForTraining.2-520x347.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"347\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Energy boost\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studies have shown that your pre-workout coffee can provide you with higher energy levels and a mental awareness boost. You will feel more awake and focused during your workout, potentially resulting in an overall better performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this increase in energy levels, caffeine can also enhance endurance by increasing how long it takes you to feel fatigued which means you can exercise for longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is particularly necessary in endurance sports such as running and cycling. It has also been recognised that caffeine can reduce the perception of muscle pain while exercising, allowing you to push harder, and get the most out of your workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What type of coffee should you drink before exercising?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A quality instant coffee that is quick and easy to prepare and delivers a great caffeine punch, is ideal.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember, exercise doesn\u2019t start when you hit the mat or the road, it starts with your pre-workout routine.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all value how coffee helps us launch out of bed and takes us right into the espresso lane.
