Here’s a pro move: sip a cup 30 minutes before you hit the gym. The ginger helps with circulation and reduces muscle ache later. The lemon gives you a little hydration pep talk without the sugar nonsense of sports drinks.
It’s not a pre-workout powder—it won’t make you feel like Thor—but it’s better than a bagel. You’ll have steady energy, and your sweat might even smell vaguely citrusy. That’s a win in the “post-gym elevator” game.
