Drinking a cup of coffee 45 &#8211; 60 minutes before working out (giving your body enough time to absorb it and reach its peak effectiveness) can positively affect the way you exercise and even the outcomes thereafter.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-pricecheck-visual-link-template\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeevibes.co.za\/campaigns\/view-campaign\/516\/coffee-capsules-and-pods\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Find the Best Deals on Coffee Pods &amp; Capsules Online!\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"84\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lor-Coffee2.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"L\u2019OR coffee\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lor-Coffee2.jpeg 800w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lor-Coffee2-300x169.jpeg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lor-Coffee2-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Find the Best Deals on Coffee Pods &amp; Capsules Online!<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Click and compare the best deals on coffee pods on PriceCheck.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cAlthough you may be forgiven for thinking that this early morning cup of coffee is solely needed to help you get up and go, the real reason is something different,\u201d explains Thokozane Radebe, brand manager for coffee brand Douwe Egberts. \u201cCoffee drank before exercising is not done to get out of bed but to give you what you need to make the most of your time exercising.\u201d\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDrinking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeevibes.co.za\/campaigns\/view-campaign\/516\/coffee-capsules-and-pods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coffee<\/a> in moderation before you exercise can help with your performance, motivation and even focus. The recommended amount of coffee to drink before working out is 3\u20136 mg per kg of body mass. \u201cKnowing what your body needs to help you exercise at your full potential is important when looking for that effective caffeine boost,\u201d comments Radebe.\r\n<blockquote><em><strong>PriceCheck tip:<\/strong> Some bean-to-cup machines don&#8217;t come with a built-in milk frother.

You will feel more awake and focused during your workout, potentially resulting in an overall better performance.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWith this increase in energy levels, caffeine can also enhance endurance by increasing how long it takes you to feel fatigue which can assist you in working out for longer. This is particularly necessary for 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, getting the most out of your workout.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-pricecheck-visual-link-template\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeevibes.co.za\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"SALE: Step Up Your Coffee Game with a New Cappuccino Machine\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"97\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Miele_coffee3.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"Miele coffee machine\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Miele_coffee3.jpeg 900w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Miele_coffee3-300x195.jpeg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Miele_coffee3-768x498.jpeg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Miele_coffee3-702x459.jpeg 702w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Miele_coffee3-214x140.jpeg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">SALE: Step Up Your Coffee Game with a New Cappuccino Machine<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Click here to find the best deals on coffee machines online with PriceCheck.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen it comes to the types of coffee you should be drinking before working out, instant coffee is quick and easy and delivers a great caffeine punch.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cWhen incorporating coffee into your workout routine start off slow and with a taste that you enjoy,\u201d suggests Radebe. \u201cWorking out doesn\u2019t start when you hit the mat or the road, it starts with your pre-workout routine allowing you to get the most out of every moment.\u201d\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/campaigns\/view-campaign\/431\/black-friday-home-gym-deals\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Get fit at home with these top home fitness deals!\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pricecheck.co.za\/images\/objects\/hash\/product\/ab4\/5a1\/833\/image_medium_209765239.jpg?1634385527\" style=\"max-width: 150px; max-height: 150px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Get fit at home with these top home fitness deals!<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Shop our top deals on fitness and gym equipment<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let coffee enhance your training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":35943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"amp_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[88,2849],"tags":[279,10550,346,365,601,2362],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Miele-coffee-machines_4.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37931"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37931"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37946,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37931\/revisions\/37946"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
