Coffee 30mins Before Exercise is Best

Coffee 30mins Before Exercise is Best
I just read an article in Science Focus that was very intriguing: https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/a-strong-coffee-could-help-you-lose-fat The article details a small study where participants were given a strong espresso (3mg/kg of caffeine) 30 minutes before intense exercise or a placebo. The study participants who drank the strong espresso burned more fat during the exercise sessions than those on the placebo. Interestingly - the effects were increased if the exercise session took place in the afternoon as opposed to the morning! My takeaways from this research: 1. Schedule your exercise sessions to take place early afternoon (to allow for the caffeine to dissipate before bed time). I would start exercising 12-1pm. 2. Drink a very strong espresso before exercising. You could select our super high caffeine coffee but beware it’s strong stuff! https://leancaffeine.co.uk/product/ground-high-caffeine-coffee 3. I would choose high intensity interval training as the exercise to maximise human growth hormone (HGH) which will also burn even more fat . Just try not to eat for 1-2 hours afterwards to maximise the HGH.
