Supplements like Beachbody Performance Energize make it easy to know how much to take before a workout. The back panel of every container shows the exact amount, when and how often to take.
Make a drinking plan. Fuel up about 30 minutes before your workout so you have it whenever you need it during your workout. Mix one scoop with 8 ounces of water, or start with half a packet if you’re sensitive to caffeine.
“Energize’s ingredients are not chosen at random or because they are trending. They are all included because they offer science-backed performance-enhancing benefits,” CSCS says. Trevor Thieme explains.
How many pre-workouts can I do in a day?
As a general rule, your caffeine intake should not exceed 400 mg per day. However, all pre-workout supplements are different, so it’s best to follow the instructions for the supplement you take.
For Beachbody Performance Energize, we recommend taking up to 2 scoops at a time, up to two times a day, at least 4 hours apart.
How long does it take for a pre-workout to take effect?
You’ll know when your pre-workout starts, but we recommend taking it 30-45 minutes before your workout.
Beachbody Performance Energize contains beta-alanine, an amino acid that plays a role in muscle endurance during hard workouts.
But there’s another thing. “For some people, beta-alanine excites sensory neurons in the skin, causing a slight tingling sensation that is harmless and temporary,” Thiem says.
Should I adjust my pre-workout recommendations?
If you are particularly sensitive to caffeine, start by taking half a spoonful of Beachbody Performance Energize. Once you have assessed your tolerance, you can increase it to one drink.
If you don’t like the tingling sensation associated with beta-alanine, reduce your dose.
