HI everybody.

What is better for before, during and after exercise?

Powerade? Lucozade? Gaterade? Water? or another brand? I believe red bull makes you dehydrated, is this true?

Im doing an aerobathon in 3 weeks so could do with some hydration advice?

    I go with pineapple coconut water diluted in water (8oz of each) when I need the electrolytes, I stay away from the sugar liquid of gatorade and powerade. If oyu don't need to replace elctrolytes just water is fine.

    I mix it up and sip on my way to the gym, during, and finish it off after, then switch back to plain water.
