Pre-workout is something many of us use in our fitness routines.

It is great.

Need a quick boost of energy after a long day of work before the gym? just take a couple scoops of pre-workout and perform like a mad man.

There is one draw back however.

Depending on which brand you purchase, you may be looking at a hefty price for a bottle the size of your palm. God forbid you take 2 scoops before every workout, you'll be out two weeks after you bought it.

Let's save some money.

First let's lay out the three ingredients used and why we will use them. Remember, this is a guide to make a basic, but effective pre-workout alternative.

Caffeine

I'll give you a quick overview of what caffeine can do for you, but if you want an explanation that is a little more in depth then Click Here .

We all know caffeine. Caffeine will provide you with the needed mental alertness and will stave off fatigue through out your workout. It's a pre-workout staple.

How much do you need?

My advice is to start low. Always start at a low dose while taking anything. Lets say 150-200mg per serving. That would be a safe starting place. This may not be suitable for those who have been consuming caffeine or those who are naturally tolerant so adjust accordingly.
