When it’s time to get lean and cut, you know that means two things — cutting calories and adding in cardio, the bane of every fitness enthusiasts existence. Sure, you might not might the occasional hill sprint or high-intensity interval training workout, but the thought of spending 30-60 minutes jogging or slogging it out on the elliptical is enough to make you weep.
As if that’s not enough of a headache, you’re tasked with another vital decision — what kind of supplement do you take for your cardio workouts?
Typical pre-workouts are loaded with many stimulants and nitric oxide boosters but don’t really do much to enhance endurance or fat burning. They’re mostly designed for the weightlifter, not the cardio enthusiast. On the flip side, fat burners really don’t fit the bill for a pre-cardio supplement as they frequently contain way too many stimulants that accelerate heart rate, making it difficult to sustain your pace. Plus, they don’t have much to offer aside from reduced appetite and don’t do a whole heck of a lot for improving stamina.
This leaves you in a bit of a bind. You know you need something to help you push the envelope in your cardio sessions and sweat out those unwanted pounds, but everywhere you look, you’re still left unfulfilled.
Where can you find a pre-workout supplement that helps burn fat and improve cardio performance?
Should you stack a fat burner and a pre-workout?
No, that’s not recommended.
Fortunately, your search for the best thermogenic pre-workout cardio supplement has ended. No longer do you have to choose between a fat burner or pre-workout with Steel Sweat®.
Steel Sweat® allows you to increase aerobic exercise (“cardio”) performance while protecting the body against oxidative stress and aiding in recovery.* Steel Sweat’s easy-to-mix powder provides delicious flavor in every scoop to increase sweat and feelings of perceived exertion.*
Steel Sweat® contains potent ingredients known to increase thermogenesis, boost metabolism, optimize energy expenditure, and increase fat oxidation and perspiration.*
Steel Sweat® attacks weight loss from multiple angles by synergistically pairing research-backed compounds that increase fat mobilization, fat oxidation, and energy expenditure.
Unlike other so-called fat burners, Steel Sweat® doesn’t rely on a bevy of stimulants that trick you into thinking it’s working by making you feel jittery or hyper. Steel Sweat® is light on the stimulants, proving just enough to arouse your senses and enhance energy, motivation, and mood.
Best of all, Steel Sweat® is easy to mix, tastes delicious, and is calorie-free, sugar-free, and carbohydrate-free.
L-Carnitine helps transport stored fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be used as energy. This not only supports fat-burning but can also help you feel more energized during training and cardio sessions.
Evodiamine is a plant alkaloid that supports thermogenesis, gently increasing body heat to help boost calorie expenditure. It’s often used in advanced fat-burning formulas to amplify the metabolic effects of other ingredients.
Caffeine provides fast-acting energy and enhances focus, alertness, and stamina. It can help you power through longer or more intense cardio sessions.
GBBGO supports natural carnitine production in the body, which helps increase thermogenesis and fat metabolism. It also promotes a strong “sweat effect” often felt during cardio-based workouts.
Paradoxine helps activate brown adipose tissue, the “good” fat that burns calories to produce heat. This thermogenic effect can support increased calorie expenditure and fat loss, especially when paired with training.
Green Tea Extract provides natural antioxidants and gentle thermogenic support. EGCG can help support fat oxidation and enhance metabolic rate.
Alpha Lipoic Acid supports healthy blood sugar levels and metabolism. It can enhance the way your body uses carbohydrates for energy, supporting endurance and fat loss.
Capros is a powerful antioxidant that supports cardiovascular health and blood flow. Better circulation can enhance endurance and performance during cardio training.
Ginger supports digestion and circulation and provides a natural thermogenic effect. It can also help reduce exercise-induced inflammation.
CapsiAtra provides a gentle, stimulant-free thermogenic boost that helps increase calorie expenditure without the burn of hot peppers. It’s ideal for enhancing fat burning during steady-state or HIIT cardio.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune health and recovery. It also helps combat oxidative stress generated during intense cardio or training.
Niacin supports energy metabolism by helping your body convert food into usable energy. It can also promote healthy blood flow, supporting endurance and performance.
Vitamin B6 plays a role in energy production, metabolism, and fluid balance. It helps keep your energy levels stable during longer cardio sessions.
Phosphorus supports energy production at the cellular level and helps maintain a healthy pH balance in muscles. It’s especially useful for endurance and performance.
Sodium plays a key role in fluid balance and hydration. It helps maintain performance by replacing what’s lost through sweat.
Some individuals may experience a harmless warming sensation in their throat after consuming the product, which is attributed to the Grains of Paradise. This generally subsides after 2-3 minutes or after consuming a cup of water. Most people tell us they find it noticeable and tasty, but not overly intense. We don’t recommend dry-scooping Steel Sweat.
Trust us, Steel Sweat lives up to its name! One serving has most people sweating more than they remember sweating in a long time. But it’s perfectly safe. Just make sure to properly hydrate before, during, and post training.
A serving of Steel Sweat contains 100mg of caffeine, or about the same as a cup of coffee. A serving of Steel Pump adds another 300 milligrams. Together, that’s more caffeine than we’d recommend for most people. A better option is to take Steel Sweat during cardio and conditioning workouts, and take Steel Pump for more intense lifting workouts.
You can definitely take Steel Sweat before lifting! Just be warned, it may be your sweatiest swole–sesh ever. Here’s a great combo, take a serving of Steel Sweat 15-30 minutes before your workout, and then sip on Steel Fuel during the workout, since it provides L-citrulline, BCAAs, taurine, and other performance-boosting amino acids but no additional caffeine.
