"Consuming caffeinated coffee an hour before vigorous exercise may help prevent pain while you're working out, suggests a 2009 study of young men. An earlier study of young women found that using caffeine before exercise can cut post-workout pain by nearly 50 percent. The caffeine in coffee may help by blocking the activity of a chemical called adenosine that activates pain receptors in cells."
This article from beliefnet just makes my day! It encourages me in my quest to lose weight. I have been working out in my elliptical machine for 10 weeks now and so far I lost 8 lbs. It's not that much but I am getting there. It's not easy, too. Every day I would tell hubby that it's truly getting harder for me to work out an hour a day. All the pains and aches afterwards, ugh! He would always say: "You can do it." With his encouragement and the article above, I believe I can do it! Have a good one all!
