How and what to drink when you work out


If you observe marathon runners at the water stations along the run, they will always reach out for a drink and either sip or pour it over their heads to cool down.

After a good, sweaty workout, we all long for a nice cool drink to quench our thirst.

Water is always the preferred choice, although to replace lost electrolytes, some would rather opt for sports drinks.
