I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?
If so… what does it feel like? Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?
Could you please elaborate what you mean by pre-workout? Like a little workout appetizer before the main workout entrée? 😊 What exactly do you do during your pre-workout?
Pre-workout supplements are things that give you energy for the workout. Just search for “preworkout” on like Amazon, Walmart, GNC, etc and you’ll find a bunch. Be warned that some of them have a fuckton of caffeine, so you might need to cut back on coffee. Also, they can make you itchy in weird places.
When I take preworkout, I can usually push myself for like a whole extra hour.
I’m no exercise scientist so I can’t explicitly recommend this to you personally but this is what I use. Basically caffeine with some other chemicals that help you have a productive workout. It’s not something you use every time you go to the gym but it helps you push that little bit extra when under load.
Pre workout meals are equally important and I recommend watching some of Jeff Nippards YouTube videos to learn more about what makes a good pre workout meal. Eating in general is important surrounding the gym but again I’m no expert so I’ll leave it to them to speak on the specifics.
ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NOT ALL PREWORKOUTS ARE CREATED EQUAL.
