2. Timing Is Everything

Eat your pre-workout meal 30 to 90 minutes before exercising.

Too early = you may feel weak

Too late = you might feel bloated during workouts

4. Hydration Is Key

Don’t forget to drink water. Dehydration can cause cramps and low stamina.

5. Pre-Workout Supplements (Optional)

If you’re training intensely, supplements like pre-workout powders (caffeine, creatine, BCAAs) may help. But they’re not a must.
