recently tried using gatorade, the sugar made my head spin.
there is apparently one you can get at a health food store that is an electrolyte replacement without sugar. lemon-lime flavor. It's name sounds something like veetal? vitale? i forget. i grabbed the wrong one, it turned out to be lemongrass flavored appetite supressant.0 -

I agree with quote.

Water, unless you're doing an endurance activity. If you're not, it's just extra calories.0

Definitely water. Drinking gatorade regularly is awful for your teeth and sugar consumption.0

If I sweat a lot (like I do on an all-day hike) I usually drink G2, the lower sugar version of Gatorade. During and after normal workouts, I just drink regular water.0

Water or a protein shake for sure. Gatorade and other 'sports drinks' are just full of sugar and sodium. I can't stand the idea of drinking right back all the calories I just worked so hard to burn. Sports drinks are best used by athletes, not 'regular' exercisers. For us, water will do just fine for hydration.0

Always water and usually a protein shake also. I like Gatorade, but I hate the sugar and calories that go with it.0

I would say neither, go for Propel Zero, it's a gatorade product or smart water. They have the electrolytes but not the carbs or calories of gatorade.0

I drink Low Cal G2 gatorade.... i get really bad headaches when i work out ... i thought it was the heat and my mom told me to try drinkin somethin with a little sugar or electrolytes... the g2 seems to have helped... i never get headaches when I drink it after workin out0

Gatorade was made for the Florida Gators, so to a Georgia Bulldog like me, it's unacceptable. :P

I recently read on a Yahoo news article that water is the better choice. It said that Gatorade is really only beneficial to people like athletes that are doing EXTENSIVE exercise and workouts. Like other people have mentioned, it is just extra calories and sugar.0

I do a lot of cardio so if I do not hit 100 oz for the day., I will drink a powerade zero. Grape is the best...not overly sweet and strawberry makes me want to gag0

Coconut water has electrolytes in it.0

I go for the P90X Recovery Drink.0
