It depends. Some are made to give you energy for your upcoming workout, while others are designed to help replenish your muscles from a workout. Just read the labels or go to the website of the drink

During or after, excising boosts your metabolism.

Answer 10

After, perhaps even a long time after. The gains, or muscle building, occurs in the rest period after your exercise. Serious weight trainers will give the worked muscle a few days rest, and it's the protein consumed over that period that will assist the muscle recovery.

Energy bars different, before and after. Before to assist with the exercise, after to replenish the depleted stores.

Answer 11

After working out. They don't give you energy. That is an energy bar or a power bar.
