Should you drink coffee before a workout?

Studies suggest that a cup of coffee just before a workout helps increase physical endurance as well as improves overall performance.

Do note that your body still needs an adequate amount of carbohydrates, fat, and protein to power your entire workout - so if you want to add coffee to your pre-fueling plan ensure it's not replacing a healthy snack in place of it. Experts say you need to drink that cup of coffee about 20 minutes prior to your workout. Just ensure that you don't exceed 400 milligrams of caffeine in a day.
