Forget snacking on a banana and quickly downing a coffee, if you’re really hitting it hard at the gym and feel like you could use a little extra oomph, then getting your hands on the best pre-workout supplement might just be the thing you need to give your muscles that extra push.
The best pre-workout to take before your gym session I tried and tested this year’s best pre-workout supplements by taking them around 30 minutes before my strength-training sessions at the gym.
Alex Ward, head trainer at Sweat Society in Surbiton, describes pre-workout as a “sports nutrition supplement, designed to improve energy and enhance exercise performance”.
“Due to the various ingredients found in pre-workout, it can help stimulate the muscles, increase focus and concentration and make you perform at a higher intensity during sessions, with less fatigue,” says Ward.
Essentially, it’s a supplement designed to give you an energy boost.
