NO to Soda!

Carbonated Beverages are a NO-NO before workouts! Carbonated beverages like soda are not a good choice before or during a workout because the carbonation can cause gas to get trapped in your gastrointestinal system and cause bloating and cramping. In addition, soda has too much sugar and will spike your blood sugar which results in a drop in both blood sugar and energy.
