I am 45 years male who recently bought an elliptical trainer.
I have been exercising for a month on the machine and I am up
to 30 minutes workout time. At 20 minutes I usually begin to
get tired and it becomes difficult to keep the heart rate up.
Few days ago 1 hour before exercise I drank a cup of hot
chocolates. When I started to exercise two things happed.
1. I had to keep my heart rate down instead of working hard to
keep it up.
2. The 30 minutes felt like a 10 minutes workout. I could have
easily gone another 30 minutes.
So I am thinking is it a good idea to have caffeine or other
metabolic boosters to help with my work out? Whatever was in
hot Chocolate Caffeine or sugar made the exercise so easy this
time around. I do not drink coffee and hot chocolate only
occasionally in winter.
