  • Discover how coffee can enhance your fitness journey in 2025, as expert Martin Sharp debunks caffeine myths and shares tips for optimal performance.

The article from MSN discusses the benefits of coffee for individuals new to fitness. It highlights that coffee can enhance workout performance by increasing alertness, reducing perceived exertion, and boosting endurance. Caffeine in coffee acts as a stimulant, helping to mobilize fatty acids from fat tissues, which can be used as fuel during exercise, thus sparing glycogen stores. This can lead to improved stamina and potentially better fat burning. Additionally, coffee can improve focus and mood, making workouts more enjoyable and possibly more effective. The article also notes that while coffee has these benefits, moderation is key, as excessive intake can lead to negative side effects like jitteriness, increased heart rate, and disrupted sleep patterns. It suggests that fitness newbies might consider having a cup of coffee about an hour before exercising to reap these benefits without overdoing it.
