powerade and them sort of drinks

[!! Shawn]

I switch over to Gatorade after my sweat stops tasting salty. Before that I drink water.

gatorade contains alot of salts to replenish those lost while sweating. i find it is great for prolonging workouts, far beter than water

I agree, thats why I switch to Gatorade after my sweat stops tasting salty. I would recommend everyone do the same.

I also drink several glasses of WARM water about 30min before I go to the gym.

WARM water is easier to drink fast and I find that your body absorbs it much quicker when it doesn't have to do the warming on its own.

Simple rule of thumb. If your pee is yellow, drink more water.

I also heard somewhere that it's really not good to drink cold water period, especially after a hard workout or being outside in the heat for a long time. Not entirely sure of the reason, though.

i usually have a botle of water and lemon gatorade. the lemon is lighter and nicer to drink than the orange

Stay away from them. Most sports drinks contain high fructose corn syrup, which next to cigarette smoke is the worst thing you can legally put in your body. Drink water.

good advice there
