Drink Your Coffee, Work Out Harder

One of the latest and greatest studies that I have heard out there recently I feel that I must share with you. Not only is coffee my obsession and passion, but I am now finding out that it promotes exercise and relieves muscle soreness and pain! This may seem too good to be true, but I assure you, it is not. There was a small study showing that when a group of men cycled after having a few cups of coffee beforehand, then their results of pain and soreness were dramatically reduced. The simple reason behind this is that the caffeine in coffee blocks some of the chemicals your body makes when it is inflamed from exercise and soreness, so therefore, you are getting the benefit of the workout, without the nasty "workout hangover" afterward where you feel you can barely move from soreness and stiff muscles. I don't know about you, but this 100% makes me want to jump on an exercise bike and sip a latte. Seriously.
