Periods, commas, colons, semicolons, exclamation points, dashes (both en- and em-), and line breaks -- all of these things are your friends. They remember you from 3rd grade and miss you and want you to get to know them again.

Please don't let them down.

I use it before cardio (full scoop) & love the energy boost it gives me! After drinking it for a while you might get used to the effect, at least I did. Also, I found that the Icy Blue Razz flavor tastes better than the Red Fruit Punch (in my opinion).

Why do you feel the need for a pre-workout?

Why do you feel you want to artificially accelerate your heart rate with a stimulant? You do realise that doesn't give you a higher calorie burn I hope!

OP didn't say she wanted a higher calorie burn. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. She SEEMS concerned that it increases heart rate. I have no clue why she wants this C4 thing but the product is marketed as increasing physical performance... viagra for exercise [I thought it was C4 the explosive at first...]

That's why I asked the question. Stimulants can have a role in cardio which is why carb gels often contain caffeine but wanting to accelerate heart rate would seem very odd. Hopefully the OP will return to clarify if it's a concern or an aim....

Generally prework or is taken before lifting weights. Not cardio. I can't imagine the heart racing effect from that coupled with an increased rate from cardio. No thanks...
