Is it okay to drink black coffee before aerobics

There is really no absolute standard answer to this question. It all depends on your body tolerance and exercise needs. You don’t have to listen to others who say “drinking will make you lose fat”, and you don’t need to be beaten to death because you think “drinking will make you panic”.

Lao Zhou, who often runs marathons around me, always drinks a glass of iced American without sugar milk 40 minutes before the race. Last week, I ran the Western Beijing Half Marathon with him. His pace in the later stages was ridiculously steady. I was so out of breath that I couldn’t even lift my legs. He could still say hello to the volunteers at the roadside aid station. According to him, after drinking coffee, the soreness in his legs was less annoying, and he didn’t feel dazed while running. This is indeed supported by research. Caffeine can mobilize the body's free fatty acids for energy, which invisibly helps you save muscle glycogen. It can also slightly increase the pain threshold and increase nerve excitability. If your goal is to improve exercise performance or increase fat removal efficiency, and you often drink coffee without intolerance, drinking 100-200ml of pure black coffee half an hour in advance is indeed equivalent to a mild gain buff.

However, stacking buffs is not useful for everyone. A while ago, I took care of a little girl who was new to aerobics. She was prone to a high heart rate. I read on the Internet that drinking coffee before aerobics on an empty stomach can help to remove fat faster. Before dancing Pamela, she drank a cup of strong black coffee. She squatted on the ground after 12 minutes of dancing and her hands were shaking. Her face was as white as paper. It took half an hour to recover. For people who have caffeine intolerance, reflux esophagitis, or who rarely drink coffee, drinking coffee before exercise will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause the heart rate to rise too fast. If you do aerobics on an empty stomach in the morning, people with fragile gastric mucosa may easily experience acid reflux and burn their throats after drinking it, which will interfere with exercise.

In fact, you don’t have to follow other people’s habits. You can try it once or twice. After drinking it, your exercise status will be better and if you don’t feel uncomfortable, continue using it. If you feel flustered, shaking hands, and stomach discomfort after drinking it, then just don’t touch it. The purpose of exercise is to feel comfortable, and you don’t have to torment yourself for the so-called gain effect.
