Great \u2014 time to down it and get after that workout, right?<\/p>\n<p>Not so fast. If you\u2019re like most exercisers, you\u2019re probably taking your pre-workout supplement too soon before your workout for it to do you much good. Reason: The active ingredients in pre-workout drinks (more on those below) take a while \u2014 about 30 minutes \u2014 to kick in.<\/p>\n<p>So if you down your shaker bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a>, which is specially engineered to help increase your energy and focus so you get more from exercise, and immediately start pounding out reps, you might be showing up too early for the party.*<\/p>\n<p>Best practice? Drink your pre-workout mix, make a phone call or send an email or two, get set up (or head to the gym), and do a thorough warm-up. By the time you\u2019re into the meat of your workout, those active ingredients should be making it into your bloodstream, so you\u2019re sure to get the most out of them.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do Pre-Workout Supplements Work?<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179273\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30114158\/when-to-use-pre-workout-600-function.png\" alt=\"drinking cup of beachbody performance energize | When to Take Pre Workout\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a> has just 20 calories and 5 grams of carbohydrates per scoop \u2014 but it still packs a huge punch. Its ingredients enhance your workouts in a few ways:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Delay muscle fatigue*<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a>\u00a0contains\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/beta-alanine-and-muscular-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beta-alanine<\/a>, a precursor to carnosine, which helps fend off acid buildup in your muscles. That helps you to go\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3374095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">harder<\/a> for longer, whether you\u2019re lifting weights or going on a run.*<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of beta-alanine aren\u2019t instantaneous, however. \u201cIt takes about 30 days to build sufficient levels of beta-alanine in your system,\u201d says Trevor Thieme, CSCS. \u201cSo it\u2019s important to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/when-to-take-beta-alanine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consistent with it<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And one possible side effect, says Thieme, is a mild <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/beta-alanine-itch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tingling sensation<\/a>\u00a0on your skin. It\u2019s harmless and temporary, but if it occurs and it bothers you, dial back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/how-much-beta-alanine-to-take\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your serving<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Deliver an energy boost*<\/h3>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s in your coffee or in your pre-workout, caffeine provides a boost of energy, as well as a shot of focus and mental acuity. Studies have indicated it may also kick up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/9729561\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endurance<\/a>\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n<p>It may be old-school, but caffeine is one of the few established performance-enhancers that\u2019s cheap, effective, and legal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a> provides 100 mg of caffeine derived from green tea and coffee bean \u2014 about what you get from an eight-ounce cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<h2>Directions for Taking Beachbody Performance Energize<\/h2>\n<p>With about 30 minutes to go before exercise, mix one level scoop or packet of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a> with eight ounces of water.

Head it off with a serving of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a>. A 2016 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0149763416300690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">review<\/a>\u00a0found that caffeine helps maintain physical and cognitive abilities during times of reduced sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Endurance event.\u00a0<\/strong>Hitting the trail for a race, or going for a long ride? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a> can help make your session feel less arduous. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1089\/caff.2019.0003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2019 review<\/a> found that cyclists who consumed caffeine prior to participating in a time trial improved performance by roughly five percent over a placebo.*<\/p>\n<p>In all of these cases, time your consumption so that your levels peak at the appropriate time. If you\u2019re taking a two-hour bike ride, for instance, then fueling up before you saddle up probably works just fine since you\u2019ll still be on the bike when your blood levels hit their peak. But if you\u2019re going for a one-and-done pull-up test, throw back a serving about 30 minutes beforehand so you derive maximal benefits at the right time.<\/p>\n<h2>When NOT to Take Beachbody Performance Energize<\/h2>\n<p>Caffeine can affect alertness for many hours (its half-life, or the time it takes your body to metabolize just half a serving, can be up to five hours). So if you\u2019re sensitive to it, start with a minimal dose.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
