How Much Pre-Workout Should You Take?


When it comes to using a supplement like Beachbody Performance Energize, it's important to know the right amount to take. Each container provides clear instructions on how much to take, how often, and when to take it.


For optimal results, it's recommended to consume Energize approximately 30 minutes before your workout to ensure it's effective during your exercise session. Simply mix one level scoop with eight ounces of water, or start with half a packet if you're sensitive to caffeine.


Trevor Thieme, CSCS, explains, "The ingredients in Energize were carefully chosen based on their performance-enhancing benefits that are supported by scientific research."


How Much Pre-Workout Can You Take in a Day?



It's generally recommended not to exceed 400 mg of caffeine per day. However, it's best to follow the specific guidelines provided by the pre-workout supplement you are using.


For Beachbody Performance Energize, it's advised to take no more than two scoops at once, no more than twice a day, and to space out consumption by at least four hours.


How Long Does Pre-Workout Take to Kick In?


You will likely feel the effects of your pre-workout kicking in, but it's recommended to take it 30 to 45 minutes before your workout.


Beachbody Performance Energize includes beta-alanine, an amino acid known for its role in enhancing muscle endurance during intense workouts.*


Additionally, some individuals may experience a harmless and temporary tingling sensation due to the excitatory effects of beta-alanine on sensory neurons in the skin, as noted by Thieme.


Should I Ever Adjust the Recommended Amount of Pre-Workout?


If you are sensitive to caffeine, it's advisable to start with a smaller amount of Beachbody Performance Energize, such as half a scoop, and gradually increase to one scoop as needed.


If you find the tingling sensation from beta-alanine uncomfortable, you can adjust your dosage accordingly.
