We’re sure you’ve been in this situation before: You reach into that stash of energy you’ve been dying to boost, only to realize that your training session has run out of time. But looking at the container, it looks fine. It smells good when you smell it. Then you ask yourself: Are you running out of pre-workout?
You don’t want to be extravagant, but you’re not sure if it’s worth rolling the dice… So what do you do?
How do you know if your pre-workout period is over?

Go hang up your detective hat. The best way to determine if it’s yours before exercise If you look at the expiration date printed on the package, it’s expired, says Paul Falcone, MS, principal scientist at BODi. “These dates are set after testing to ensure product quality, potency and effectiveness over that period,” Falcone said.
Additionally, discolored or lumpy pre-workout powder can be a sign of spoilage if it’s been left out too long.
Beachbody Performance EnergizeActive ingredients are carefully formulated to optimize performance during physical activity.* Caffeine, beta-alanine, and quercetin increase energy, delay fatigue, and help focus.
However, the only way to get optimal benefits from Beachbody Performance Energize (or any other pre-workout supplement) is to use it as directed and before the expiration date.
Can pre-workouts deteriorate after mixing?
It is best to allow some time between drinking before exercise and going to the gym (30-60 minutes is ideal), and avoid training before exercise. “We recommend drinking these products immediately after mixing them as a pre-workout preparation as directed on the packaging,” says Falcone.
Packages in progress Beachbody Performance Energize That’s because they contain one serving and require no measuring – making it easy to prepare your pre-workout anywhere you have a water source. Just don’t forget your glass!
What causes poor pre-workout preparation?
Almost everything that is intended for consumption has a shelf life. Dietary supplements, like apples, are sensitive to air and moisture and will begin to break down over time.
Based on scientific testing, the expiration date suggests the best time to use the supplement. “Beachbody Performance Energize should retain its quality past the expiration date stated on the package,” Falcone said.
Is it okay to do an expired pre-workout?
At some point, you’ve probably gambled on an expired product without any negative consequences. Maybe you got lucky just In a moment of “best before” or a moment of desperation, heat up some forgotten spaghetti sauce that technically should have been eaten months ago.
You lived to tell the tale, but maybe you should have just discarded the questionable. The same rule applies to all supplements Beachbody Performance Energize.
“It’s never a good idea to use any expired product,” says Falcone.
How to prevent a bad pre-workout?

Pre-workout freshness is all about proper storage conditions. Use these tips to keep your pre-workout routine fresh.
1. Store in a container
Beachbody Performance EnergizeThe packaging is for storage, so avoid transferring it (or any other Beachbody Performance product) to another container.
2. Stay calm
A shelf in direct sunlight or over a stove may not be the ideal home for pre-workout. Instead, choose a cool, dry place like a closet or, if you have room, put it in the refrigerator.
3. Avoid moisture
Never use a wet scoop before exercising, and be mindful of hydration. Some rooms, such as bathrooms, have more moisture in the air. Find the driest space in your home to store your pre-workout.
