I'm exhausted need to hit the gym A friend of mine suggested a red bull. According to him it gives you so much energy you'll burn off more than the 120 calories in it plus more. I just don't want to crash afterward. Anyone have any Red Bull advice?

I hate coffee. lol0

Eeeew. No.
I personally think it tastes nasty. I had it once and saw zero effect energy-wise. Drink coffee or go to the gym to get an energy boost0 -
Sugar free red bull, no calories, or just get a 5 hour energy. Whatever gets you through. I have one in my desk for after work myself. :drinker:0

There's always sugar free red bull - personally I can't stand the taste of those energy drinks at all - why not try eating an apple? Apples help give you energy, the natural way!0

Nope dont like the taste of red bull and its not healthy!0

I personally love Red Bull, I do not experience a crash, but everyone is different. I drink the sugar free one so there are fewer calories. I do not have any sensetivities to sugar substitutes, but if you did then the regular one may be better.0

When I need something to wake up (so I don't trip over a machine sleepwalking), I'll do a red bull zero, or a 5 hr energy.
edit: redbull zero is not the same as sugar free! I like it better.0 -
I don't see too much wrong with it, if you're not too hung up on eating clean (there are a lot of chemicals in it) I always have the sugar free. It tastes worse (not that the original tastes good to begin with) but it's less calories.0

Your friend thinks that you will inherently burn more calories because you have more energy and therefore you should stop taking your friend's advice
I say "no" but I guess people like it. My SO swears by it but he's also 30 and relatively intolerant to any drugs. It has too much caffeine for me.
Just being active will boost your energy levels temporarily0 -
B12 and get some vitamins to take daily i used to have the same problem0

I love red bull0

I used to drink it all the time. You get used to the taste. If you are gonna do it, try the Total Zero (yummy new flavor- 0 calorie) or sugar free, that way you don't have to worry about burning off the excess calories.0

If i'm lethargic and need a boost, yes I'll down one. The worst workout will be the one you didn't do or barely turned up for!0
-
I drink monster - but I am immune to it now. I just love the taste
Energy drinks don't do it for me anymore, I usually dodge traffic on the way to the gym to get my adrenaline up, drain my blood, then drink it.0 -
How about a preworkout drink like Assault or jack3d or something like that? I'd stay away from Red Bull (personally I don't get much reaction from them).0

I have no idea what vitamin to take.0 -
Be careful with energy drinks....even gatorade has some of the same ingrediants that car wax has....possibly research work out supplements? when i'm desperate i do a vitamin b12 shot (similiar to 5hour energy)....i've also started drinking half a whey drink before and after my workouts which has really helped.0
