What is Pre-Workout?

• Pre-workout supplements are usually mixed with a liquid or blended with other ingredients to consume as a drink prior to a workout, usually approximately 30 mins prior. The biggest difference within between pre-workout supplements is whether they include creatine or not.  Having creatine as an ingredient has been shown to increase physical performance during short-term, high intensity exercise.

Forms of Pre-Workout

• There are not many forms as such however pre-workout can be bought as a ‘shot’ which can be taken prior to exercise or else they can be bought in powder form and diluted with the likes of water.

How does it affect the body?

• Taking pre-workout when exercising gives the body a boost of energy and can increase performance within the gym. However due to some of the ingredients, using the supplement incorrectly can lead sleeplessness/insomnia. For reasons like this it is recommended that you follow the supplements dosage guidelines.

Where can Pre-Workout be bought?

• Much like all legal supplements, pre-workout can be bought broadly across a range of websites that sell other gym gear/supplements.
