What things give you energy?
Before training….
1) Pre Workout – a supplement that boosts your energy and could help you with a more sustained and focused workout. Usually contain caffeine but also ingredients like beta-alanine, creatine, BCAAs, and B vitamins. Costs can vary.
2) Coffee – if you just need a caffeine fix this is a cheaper version of a pre workout and easy to grab wherever you are.
3) Eat two hours before- A mix of carbs and protein a couple of hours before should give you enough energy to feel good for training.
4) A banana with peanut butter – 30 minutes beforehand can give you an energy boost
5) Water – If you’re dehydrated that will contribute to an energy slump.
6) Sleep – Less of a quick fix but being well rested will help your energy levels.
