Best Pre-Workout Supplements For Women<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nutrition is a vital part of fitness.\u00a0 Without fueling the body, there is no way that you can even think of reaching your fitness goals.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t drive a car without gas, so why would you even think that fueling your body properly isn\u2019t necessary.<\/p>\n

Best pre-workout supplements for women\u00a0<\/em>can help give you energy through the workout so you will be able to work out longer.\u00a0 In addition, it can also help you push harder.\u00a0 All these factors will help add to your success towards your fitness goals.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t one pre-workout supplement that is perfect for everyone.\u00a0 The best thing to do is to try a few out to see which one works best for you.\u00a0 Pre-workout supplements designed for men<\/a>, women can use too, but read the labels to see if it will meet your expectations. Keep in mind that there are some ingredients in mens pre-workout supplements women should avoid!<\/p>\n

What Should You Be Looking for in Best\u00a0Pre-Workout Supplement For Women?<\/h2>\n

Each product formulated for pre-workout will have different ingredients and in different quantities.\u00a0 What works for your friend may not work the best for you.<\/p>\n

Depending on your fitness goals, all depend on what kind of pre-workout supplement you will want to use.\u00a0 Weight loss and muscle gain<\/a> are two different goals and, in turn, the nutritional needs<\/a> will be different.\u00a0 Look to whom the product is marketed towards.\u00a0 If your goal is to lose weight, you do not want to use the supplement that are for bodybuilders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When reading the label, it can be confusing.\u00a0 It is not required by the manufacturers to disclose what is in their supplement, but they must reveal what is in there.\u00a0 Look out for products that have excessive amounts of sugar, caffeine or gross amounts of artificial additives.<\/p>\n

Also, be aware of anything that is promoted as \u201ctestosterone boosting<\/strong>\u201d like D-aspartic acid, fenugreek<\/a>, and tribulus.\u00a0 Women do have small amounts of testosterone, but they do not need to increase the production of more because of the side effects, like hair loss, acne, and menstrual\/fertility issues.<\/p>\n

How Can I Tell if a Pre-Workout Supplement is for Me?<\/h2>\n

When trying out a pre-workout supplement, take the time to notice how your body feels.\u00a0 Are you dizzy or nauseous or are you crashing once you do your workout?\u00a0 Those are signs that this pre-workout supplement may not be for you or it is at the wrong concentration.<\/p>\n

The stimulants, usually caffeine, will give you the energy to push through your workout and not feel the crash after.\u00a0 If you feel lazy or depressed after the workout, change your pre-workout supplement right away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, be aware of other stimulants you consume during the day.\u00a0 Two cups of coffee in the morning and a pre-workout supplement later in the day can cause problems falling asleep or too much energy, followed by a big crash.\u00a0 Everyone\u2019s sensitivity to caffeine can differ and tolerances can change within a person as well.<\/p>\n

What Do the Ingredients Do?<\/h2>\n

There are many ingredients that can go into pre-workout supplements.\u00a0 These are just a few of them.<\/p>\n

Arginine<\/strong> \u2013 Arginine helps with vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels.\u00a0 When the blood vessels are wider, it allows more blood flow to the muscles, bringing oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles, and takes away waste byproducts from the muscle use.\u00a0 This makes the muscles repair and grow faster.\u00a0 For best results, 500-1000 mg daily should be used.<\/p>\n

Beta-Alanine<\/strong> \u2013 Beta-Alanine increases the time before muscles get tired, especially in longer sets.\u00a0 The downside is that it can create a \u201cburning rush\u201d, but not with everyone.\u00a0 Paired usually with creatine, it helps to increase lean mass and more body fat loss.\u00a0 A normal amount of Beta-Alanin is 1.6 grams per serving.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caffeine<\/strong> \u2013 Caffeine, both in pre-workout supplements and in other beverages is responsible for an energizing effect on the body.\u00a0 The energy gained from caffeine can allow for longer workouts and aid in focus.\u00a0 It is easy to build up tolerances and there can be withdrawal when not taken regularly.\u00a0 Heart palpitations can also occur with too much caffeine consumption and additional consumption of caffeine should be considered when using in before a workout.\u00a0 Normal use is between 100 and 200 mg, depending on one\u2019s sensitivity.<\/p>\n

Creatine<\/strong> – Creatine helps build muscle and improve anaerobic stamina when taken as a pre-workout supplement, but with women, it can have a dehydrating effect or water retention.\u00a0 When dehydrated, especially during long cardio workouts, it can lead to muscle cramping.\u00a0 A good starting quantity would be 3 grams a day and evaluate how you feel a few weeks later.<\/p>\n

Tyrosine<\/strong> \u2013 Tyrosine aids with combating fatigue and performance during stressful workouts.\u00a0 It can help you stay focused on long, challenging workouts.\u00a0 Look for supplements with 500-1000 mg per day.<\/p>\n

What Form of Pre-Workout Supplements is for Me?<\/h2>\n

Pre-workout supplements normally come in powder form and mixed with water or other liquids (like a shake<\/a> or smoothie).\u00a0 It is a cost effective way to get the supplements and it comes in a wide variety of flavors.\u00a0 The downside is it can clump when added to liquid.\u00a0 Lower quality powders may not dissolve completely, leaving a sludge of the powder at the bottom of your glass.<\/p>\n

Pre-bottled drinks are available for pre-workouts.\u00a0 They are a bit more expensive, but they are convenient, especially when you do not have access to a place to mix it up, like at work. They are easily portable, but the flavors can be limiting and there is no customization.<\/p>\n

With some research, planning, and knowledge, pre-workout supplements can help you get more out of your workouts.\u00a0 Getting more out of workouts will lead to better results and reaching your fitness goals faster.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, when taking pre-workout supplements<\/a>, you should be aware of how your body feels and reacts to the supplements, even after taking them for a while.\u00a0 Keep in mind that the body is always adapting and what works one month may not work as well the following month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
