What is a Pre-Workout?Updated a year ago

A pre-workout supplement is designed to energise you and improve your performance and subsequent results. (Harty, P et al. 2019) They are typically a powder you mix with water and consume before exercise. You'll most commonly find ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, caffeine, creatine, and amino acids to help your body and mind work harder with less effort. Whether you're a runner trying to improve your pace, a bodybuilder wanting to lift heavier, or a footy player looking to improve your game, you may see benefits from taking a pre-workout. These benefits can include but are not limited to an increase in endurance, focus, strength, energy, intensity, motivation and effort.
