Pre workouts are fantastic. Nothing better than getting your shaker ready, weighing the powder, pouring the water, and getting a nice shake as you hear the blender ball rattle. It’s your own time of the day and it’s “you time”. It’s such a rewarding experience sipping the pre workout and knowing you’re on the way to the gym. Or even better if you sip your pre workout on the way to the gym.
People enjoy drinking at the bars and speakeasys for the same reasons. It brings you joy and is your time to yourself to alter your mindset and perception.
If you don’t want to drink a pre workout powder, a nice expresso or 5 hour energy works well.
But if you’re an older individual with health issues, it’s probably not a wise idea. You should still find a safe food or beverage to enjoy before your workout or power walk that will alter your reality and make you euphoric.
