ENERGY DRINK BEFORE WORKOUT ?????

Question to those who know??? I just started working out 2 weeks ago. I do semi hard cardio for 30minutes and light weights for the next 30min 6 days a week. All this happens between 7am to 8am. Now within those two weeks i've lost 6 pounds . Heres the catch , I've been drinking one Rockstar energy drink every day before working out just to get that boost. Of course during the work out i drink plenty of water.I also changed my eating habits to smaller portions. I feel fine through the course of the day and i guess through the week. I just need to know is the Rockstar energy drink or any Enrgy drink going to hurt me in the long run? Or should I keep doin what im doin.

It's not going to hurt you, persay. You're going to develop a dependency on it, just like coffee junkies who need coffee in the morning. If it works for you via your workouts, then you can continue to do so. Like the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Good luck and have fun in getting to your goals.

You might want to try Monster LoCarb. It's only 20 calories and 6 g of sugar.

I would tend to think that it's dangerous. Energy drinks raise your heart rate- exercise raises your heart rate. Sure, elevating your heart rate is good- but only to an extent. I'm not the kind to drink them regardless. While I've contemplated one on lengthy road trips, I would never use one before working out.

Besides- the drinks are all so full of sugars or artificial sweetners in addition to the other 'supplements' in them. If you really just need a pick me up, buy caffeine pills and take a dose once you get up.

Google 'energy drinks and exercise'. Sometimes, Google is a better resource than the opinions of people on forums.

Energy

The energy drinks like Rockstar and Red Bull are not good for you body because of all the chemicals. A healthy alternative that I use is Herbalife's "Herbal Concentrate Green Tea" antioxidant, boosts the metabolism, boosts your energy levels and actually promotes a healthy, lean physique. For each cup you burn 80 calories! (www.shopherbalife.com/eatsmart)

I am surprised you are not crashing mid day when you drink Rockstar, When I was drinking Energy drinks every morning I was out by lunch.
since the switch I have sustained energy throughout the day. Quitting the energy drinks will make you feel so much better.
P.S. Another alternative is "Lift Off" it's on the same site as the Green Tea concentrate.

Some ask in this post about the energy drink which we should drink before the workout. There are a lot of options which already discussed in this article. Now its depends on the personal choice which one is better for individual. However, I need affordable essay and there is good and most relevant information about the topic here.
