drinking health drinks..

No, I don't usually drink those. I don't like them. I usually have water only. I know that those will help me replace some of the minerals lost while exercising, but to need that replacement I would have to be exercising for hours. I might have a homemade fruit juice after exercising, but not as a rule. Vitamin water, gatorade and the such are just more traps for us to spend money on something we think we need, but we really don't LOL

I drink- emergen-c made by Alacer. I had a bottle of vitamin water one day and I compared the nutritional values between the two. The emergen-c (which is a powder packet added to water) had far more vitamins and minerals. I would have had to drink at least 4 bottles of vitamin water to get the same amount. And emergen-c costs much less. It can also be used to ward off colds.

not me I only drink the vitamin water and others only when I am at the store and need a drink to quench my thirst. Rarely do I buy soda's or energy drinks.

Gatorade is a must for me and my children when we do active things. I find it important that we keep hydrated all the time. Its part of keeping oneself healthy.

when doing an exercise, it's very important to drink a lot of fluids. Most of the time i only drink water but if you have these energy drinks then it would be better for you to drink it. they provide enough electrolytes to replenish the body after an exercise :)we need to understand that keeping hydrated while doing some exercise is very important

Yes, i do. I used to play volleyball for our office during our inter-department volleyball tournament. We drink gatorade during the game to keep our energy level high and if did boost our energy.

Hi vanities, Not me. When I exercise, I normally just go for plain water after that. I don't normally do such strenuous activities as those that require replenishment by "special" water. Cheers!
