awesome thanks for all the replies. I am a person who will drink coffee all day long and sleep fine at night still. as for working out i always have my water with me and i think it has been helping me push through some things since i have just started exercising again it gives me that boost to proceed through a wave of lazy or sore muscles.0

I always have a coffee before I work out, seems to give me that extra "oumf"0

I read somewhere that caffeine before exercise would deplete glycogene levels more quickly. Not sure whether it is true or whether it is a good or a bad thing.0

I have a cup of coffee about an hour or hour and a half before my long runs on Sunday mornings. It helps get things moving....... Then I can go run 10 miles without as much need of having to find a place to stop. I don't take any water. I hydrate before I run and have water waiting for me when I get home. I don't find that the coffee dehydrates me too badly.0

Coffee makes me poop and since I warm up every day with font squats I don't think it would be a good idea for me.0

So you prefer to do your front squats while still needing to poop?

Welcome newbie! Me too! I've been at it for a week and have found MFP a very useful and informative tool.
Based on everyone's responses it's clear that everyone is different and coffee either works or doesn't work. In addition to my morning coffee I also drink a glass of milk, just to get a little something into my system before I exercise, so I don't starve.
Make today the best day yet!0 -
Is this a good or bad thing? some people seem to think it gives you that extra push through exercise and i have also heard of people sayin it will burn you out and or make you feel dehydrated during exercise. I personally always have coffee before exercising, as of recent anyway because i exercise in the morning and love coffee.
Thoughts?
Same here. I enjoy exercising in the mornings, if I don't there is a good chance I might forget later or just too tired at the end of the day and I need my coffee to get going for the morning. I just make sure to have my water always handy during and after the work out.0 -
Coffee is awesome. It is a performance enhancer, in my case from zero to movement; it is an analgesic, so the slight painkilling properties are good for those morning aches and pains; and it feels nice and warm going down.
I can exercise before coffee, but I don't want to.0 -
"coffee before _______ is awesome!" I think anything fits in that blank except "sleep" in my book.0

ABSOLUTELY. Especially since if i dont have coffee in the morning i can barely function.... coffee is good, its the sweeteners loaded with sugar and fat that can make coffee less than healthy0
