I have been thinking taking a pre work out drink to help with my focus and workouts. What is good for women and why do you or do you not recommend it? I guess I am needing some opinions.

    There's nothing different for men and women for food. Eat or drink whatever you want prior to working out. I like to eat about 30g ish of carbs about a half hour prior to my training because I like the energy I get from it. What you eat is up to you.

    Why would you think that women need different preworkouts than men?

    women's stuff always has to be pink and twice as expensive as the men's. anyone gone razor shopping lately? :grumble:

    To answer the question, if it's in the morning I will have a piece of cinnamon toast with butter or maybe 1/2 c. of greek yogurt with some granola about an hour before I workout. If I'm working out after work I eat an apple on the way.

    You don't need a product geared towards a woman specifically, it's all the same.

    I always try to eat something along the lines of peanut butter and an apple or toast, but if I need some pre-workout, and sometimes I do, I like Jacked 3d pre-workout. It's strong, kind of expensive but since I only use a 1/2 scoop maybe once a week, it lasts me for a very long time.

    What kind of activity/workout?

    I ask because if your workout is yoga/pilates/walking, you will probably need something different than if you are marathon training or doing super high intensity workouts.

    100 years ago, when I used to do an hour of Brazilain Jiu-Jitsu grappling followed by an hour of Muay Thai sparring and conditioning I used to take BSN No-Xplode.
    The drink would give me a TON of energy. But the workout was grueling!!

    Now, the most I will do is a 30 minute DVD or a 45 interval of walk/run. So I don't eat or drink anything before.

    Eating actual food would make me sick to my stomach and I simply to have the need for NO xplode (AKA liquid crack) for my current workout intensity.

    The draw backs of NO Xplode
    Price
    Taste
    I'd be very jittery and unable to sleep if I drank and did less than the two hours of super workout.

    And this is why I use men's razors. It's ridiculous!

    Depends on the workout but generally carbs, some protein and caffeine if you need an extra boost

    you can take which ever one your want!

    Depends on your tolerance, I personally don't take it! Don't need it and don't want to rely on it.
