Do you also struggle with your leg day at your gym? What if you were told that improving your workout didn't require a new supplement or pre-workout drink, but simply the smell of chocolate? Yes, you read that right.
A new study has found that sniffing dark chocolate before and during strength training may help people perform more repetitions without feeling like they're working any harder. Researchers also discovered that the aroma reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness, while the scent of milk chocolate made workouts feel more enjoyable.
