Dare to Self Improve

We all hear the common harpings that caffein is not healthy for you. This is true…for the most part. Caffeine is addictive and can adversely affect your health causing headaches and hyperactivity. A lot of students use it as an “upper” while studying, or more commonly, when drinking to get a double boost when coupled with alcohol.

However, there is a good use to caffeine as well. Having some caffeine intake prior to working out has been shown to increase your fat-burning capabilities! Other than the obvious positive side effect of amping up your workouts, it produces positive metabolic stimulation conducive to fat loss. In fact, a lot of overpriced, over the counter fat burners use caffeine as one of their main ingredients.

So, instead of spending tons of money on these pills, have a cup of coffee before working out to increase the fat burning thermostat!
